History:
Purchase: I recently bought this Marshall combo after being dissapointed by the sound of a Line 6 AX2, there’s just no replacing an all tube amplifier, I don’t care how “close” they claim they can get to tube sound with their fancy solid state/ digital algorhthyms, it just doesn’t sound right...period. End of story. I‘d rather have one 40 watt, all tube, one 12“ speaker combo amp, than a full stack with a solid state 100 watt amp.
What I Like About This Unit: It sounds buttery smooth, I tried Mesa Boogie stuff, nice gear, but too much crap to mess with to get a good sound, geez, all those knobs are totally unnecessary.
What I Do NOT Like About The Marshall DSL 2000 401: The only thing I don’t like about this amp is that it runs kind of hot, and would benefit from a fan mounted in the back to cool the valves.
DSL 2000 401 Quality: construction is solid on this amp, no complaints.
Summary: The Fender I tried(Hotrod Deville) just didn’t have enough distortion, and the jack was loose.
Mesa? ehhh, too expensive and too hard to dial in.
You‘ve got to try this amp out, you’ll love it.
