I dial in and play the Marshall JCM 2000 DSL and play some classic riffs and one of my modern mixes

[@jeffhirshberg5171]

I played over 300 shows per year from 1995 to 2004 with that head. It travelled from every lower 48 US state and Alaska to every Canadian province to eastern/western Europe to Japan to Australia to New Zealand.... It never failed me. Thanks for doing this workhorse justice, Jarrod. I used only a tuner and noise gate pedal.

[@Podcastforthewin]

how did you manage to get your hands on one 2 years before it came out?

[@jeffhirshberg5171]

@@Podcastforthewin Ha. That was a typo. 1999-2004. Prior to that, I was running a Hughes and Kettner ss with a tuner pedal and a Metal Zone. 1999, the HK finally gave out and I went the 2000 route. Picked up a used DSL100H from a Sam Ash fire sale 3 months ago and because of Jarrod's video I put the Mr Scary mod into it. Anazing.

@@jeffhirshberg5171 ya man! I’m currently using the DSL 2000 100 watt But I’ve really enjoyed the dsl 100h. Hk tri-amp mk2 is a super underrated amp

[@jeffhirshberg5171]

@@Podcastforthewin HK makes great amps. Very versatile, too.

[@cshades8026]

The Hunter! Love it! One of my favorite riffs from the legendary George Lynch!

[@shanewilfon6860]

When heaven comes down his all time best❤❤❤

[@Jarrett-Hopper]

That tone you dialed with Lead 1 and the gain dimed with the MudKiller is about the best I have ever heard one of these sound. Great job!

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thank you! Glad you liked it.

[@omarheavy2009]

I do not know why the Jcm800 is more popular and wanted than the DSl!! I find the DSl series = 💣💥

[@Wasteoftime10]

I currently own 13 different High Gain Heads, and if I had to sell them and keep only a few, my JCM 2000 DSL 50 would be one of the ones I would keep, over Heads that have much higher gain and a hell of a bigger price tag. Something about the tone of that amp for me that's a keeper.

[@ft8900]

Same here, this is great and versatile amp with soul.

[@JohnSmith-ef2sx]

I've been playing marshalls for years and they always sound better 30 minutes in when those tubes get super hot. I can actually hear the warmth in the tone. Could all be in my head but I don't think so. Swear I was driving today at work and that chris isaak song came on the radio. Interesting coincidence. Pretty sick guitar part.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thanks for commenting. That guitar line is the sexiest guitar line ever written... nothing will ever top it. That's straight up baby making music LOL

[@user-jy5lp3qm4m]

Finaly someone who noticed this. I also have that idea. I even turn my Marshall on (standby off) 20 minutes before a gig or repetition.

[@KaddysJamKave]

Love the JCM 2000 and Tsl... also love the fact that they have external adjustable BIAS... although I think the proper EVH 5150's do too. I"m sure you know...🤘

[@BazonBlades]

DSL's are great amps. Even though I didn't need one of the bigger heads, I did add the DSL20 to my home rig. It's a cool little head.

[@SuperCMO79]

Jarrod had this at 17 my first "real" amp sadly got lost somehow when my parents moved out from the house at the time. If I had known what I know now man I don't care and I would've kept it and gotten much better with it....Haha.

[@shredding51]

ultra gain you need to engage the deep switch on lead 1 is perfect. I have the DSL 50 and it's killer.

[@CS-ru4xd]

Yea....I'm gonna beat him up about NOT engaging the Deep switch on the High Gain channel. 😅I have the 100w DSL and I love it with the RAT pedal.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

@@CS-ru4xd I actually did engage the switch but it got really thumpy sounding. It was too much in my opinion

[@shredding51]

@@TONEWARSgearshow just do it for lead 1 and turn the bass down to about 4. It’s to much on lead 2

[@andrewrwhitfield]

Recently picked up the 100w JCM2000 DSL… Like new… $550 AUD!! There are pedals that cost more. Such a bargain. Love the video as always!!

[@moreguitarplease6199]

If you need more gain - the DSLs take emulating pedals like the AMT-P2 or aggressive distortion pedals like the RAT or SHREDMASTER extremely good. DSLs rule!

[@chrisnaishguitar]

Nice amp! Love the Lynch Hunter riff moment.

[@mustuddd]

Amp is nice, playing was pretty good as always, but what I'm really jealous of is your full head of hair haha

[@OfficialSNMvids]

Bought a 2000DSL a few years ago cool amp! Good demo!

[@WeimaranersAreTheBest]

For a Adam Jones/Tool tone...mostly Aenima/ lateralus tone.....high gain or crunch...I find lead 1 better, tone shift off, deep off...but cant hear what settings I like best..I also run a mesa dual rec tremoverb too.

[@tribalrivalkillaiii-iv-vii8952]

I'd love to hear something close to Nile's sound..

[@BradRocker]

Had an Original from 1998 and sadly sold it. My band mate hatted me for that.

[@Gma7788]

...and? You really are still the type of person who has a problem with great stuff and communication. Your personality is lacking something. You seem to just barely communicate. You wait for other people to do all the communication.

[@ronnymilianowicz5228]

I have it Tommy Folkesson (Europé etc) modded and to me the money channel is the crunch channel with cranked gain. I also use a Mojo Mojo to get the tone a little fatter like modern high gain into the Mesa Gridslammer. That tone that now has more attack than lead 1 beats my Mesa Rectifier , EVH, Peavey 6505+ and my Engl Artist Edition for powermetal.

[@vonbleak101]

I owned a JCM2000 TSL100 with a 1960 lead cab and it was glorious... Unfortunately i had to sell the amp during covid. they are underrated and often overlooked but the JCM2000 amps were secretly amazing...

[@jasonweinberg932]

Enjoyed the riffs and mix!

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Awesome, thank you!

[@acbenitez3614]

Pinchamania even with more or less gain you nail it, dude. hahaha!

[@lowtonezf104]

Excellent demo.

[@RichardReneeRachel]

What shelves are you using to store the amps behind you? Thanks!

[@AkiraSpectrum]

great video. curious how the newer DSL's made overseas compare.

[@barano9729]

Makes a great first Marshall for the burgeoning guitar player. Still fairly affordable.

[@FPVMgunit13]

Excellent playing brother... what floor pedals are you using??

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thank you. I'm using the odd box overdrive pedal in front and the Dreamscape chorus and flashback 2 delay pedal in the loop if memory serves

[@hope4all562]

OK, slap me and call me stupid.But are you revealing an amplifior pedals?Cause I was Is hoping you were revealing the amplifier

[@gravelrocks5588]

Hey Jared great video what do you think of all the Marshalls you tried I have a jvm 205h on order

[@metalmeister3054]

Very awesome amp series. I have a JVM 410h. I put a choke in with about 137k on the negative feedback loop and a Plexi mod. It one of my favorite Marshalls to date.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

I liked the 205

[@guitarexpert2245]

When on OD1 push the deep switch in. Fattens it up adds much low end. Sounds great and what is the name of the overdrive pedal you use, I'd like to get one. Thanks. Great video.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thanks for commenting. The name of the overdrive is the mud killer. It's a very versatile pedal, I think you would really like it

[@dalejacksonmo]

Love an Old School metal amp....and I believe that only can happen with Marshall and Laney and Soldano and Vox...Peavey...Amps n Speakers

[@AdrianNWB]

If you can’t get a good tone out of a DSL, you’re doing it wrong.

[@shanewilfon6860]

Sounds muddy like blanketed

[@TheCyberMantis]

Because he won't use a Boss SD-1 in front of it. Even though he's been told like 500 times.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Haha you guys crack me up. As soon as I got home with the amplifier, I realized I forgot to pick up the super overdrive pedal. Honestly, I don't think it would have made that big of a difference I've used one before with a different marshall amp and I didn't see how it that big of a difference

[@TheCyberMantis]

@@TONEWARSgearshow It's not really a "big" difference, but it's an "important" difference. Hard to explain. It seems to boost the gain in all the right places. It enhances the upper-mids in the right frequency. Right where that Marshall needs it, to help it bloom. Euge Valovirta calls it: "the high silver". It helps the amp cut-through better. Euge made a lot of videos about it, using different Marshall amps. It works. He tried different overdrives, but the SD-1 works the best with Marshall's. You just gotta try it.
