There has to be something wrong with your amp. My DSL 40cr sounds nothing like that and puts out good cleans, crunch, and the ultra gain channels kick butt!

You obviously know a lot about amps and are a great player. One thing you may not know is that over 70% of all sound you hear is reverberated off the walls floor and ceiling. Any speaker on the floor will have more base as the base reflects more efficiently off the floor. Also as its an open back amp, if you place it about 2 feet from the rear wall you wall also get a significant base boost. Keep on rocking 🙂

I'm on my 4th one. The first 3 amps had something going on with the master volumes. Really noisey and one just quite while im playing it. The fourth amp is really quiet even with the masters cranked. I hope this one lasts. I play mostly classic rock and this amp delivers in spades. I have a loud drummer and we have to repaint his studio walls because the Marshall ripped the paint off. If you get one that works it's inspiring...

This amp needs gain boost pedal like classic ts9 or SD-1 to tighten up the lows and get extra gain. It sounds so much better with od pedals.

I'm sure there's a great amp in there somewhere. Probably just needs a fettle. IMHO the DSL 40C is easily the most bang for your buck out there. I see these going for $250 used. That's crazy. A few dabs of a soldering iron and maybe a speaker swap and you got a do-it-all-amp that's portable.

Yeah something's definitely wrong with your amp. The crunch channel should have way more gain than what you're getting. I just tested it out with gain on 10 like you had it and my strat with single coils gets a lot more overdriven. Sort of Jimi Hendrix territory. And also, it's not really one of those amps that likes to just sit with all the controls at noon. You really have to find the sweet spot and then the amp sings. It can really go from being a mud fest to piercing your eardrums. I never really touch the resonance control though. The amp already has enough bass. But it should definitely sound a lot better than yours is displaying.
