Great comparison. I hear a lot of tube snobs complain about Blackstar saying they don't have an all tube preamp. They do use a clipping diode on the highest gain channel, but so do Engl, Marshall jcm 900 and Silver Jubilee. I have the HT 50 head, ended up selling my 3 Marshall and 2 Peavey heads because I preferred the sound of my Blackstar 😁
I have that same amp! You talking about after you crank it up its like sold state amp feel and sound! You are very much so right! I just got a Friedman BE-OD pedal that i just got the tone was so much better you crank it up around 3 on the vol. on OD-1 nice sound the OD-2 was okay but for me OD-1 i liked the most. i have a 4x 12 cab with vintage 30's in it.
They are close already. Bit of tweaking and they would sound the same. I got a Blackstar HT100 mk1 at a bargain price and sold my DSL not long afterwards. Way more versatile.
Marshall better. That Blackstar has the same problem I have had whenever I tried them at a jam or in a store; it doesn't "cut". I don't know if it's just an eq setting thing or something else, but the half-dozen or so different Blackstars I have tried always sound a bit like there is a big fat pillow over each speaker in the cabinet. It's not that high-end is missing, it seems like it's not smooth across the frequencies, like in this side-by-side. Oh, I really wanted to like Blackstar amps ever since they came out. They have a great lineup on paper, but they never sounded good to my ears..
@@Crypticmaskguitar Thanks, apologies I did not noticed the description. Good thing you managed to dial a decent tone in the ht100 using v30s, I believe the ht100 sounds best with seventy 80. And I agree to the fact that nothing special anything beyond 12noon at master. I have to use a 10 band eq just to tame some harsh frequency

I love the grit of the marshall, and the smoothness of the blackstar. I'd personally blend them both in a mix.
Blackstar HT Stage 100 win!!
They all sound good , but I like the dsl a little bit better
Marshall sounds fizzy and thin but the blackstar has a nice articulated punch easy win for the blackstar here
The question is which one do you like better?
Those Marshall DSL amps are fizzy AF!!!

sos un monstruo con la guitarra un pro
deberia sacar un album con esos riff
I think the blackstar sounds good but the marshall cuts through the mix well.
DSL amps in a trio aren't my thing. But with 2 guitars or keys they work really well. Hard to loose in a mix.
I feel like the Blackstar sounded better with chugs and rhythms but the DSL sounded better on the solos
Did you use IR for both heads(as well as the other shootout vs the ht100) during recording?
Signal Chain is listed in the Description. I HATE IRs… Mic and a Cabinet. Cheers -Ryan

thanks i was searching for something like this, all of the videos are either boomers playing random clean riffs or fuzzy rock stuff -_-
DSL sounds better to me
Hi, do you sell the vht ul?
I still have it. Will not sell. Cheers -Ryan
Marshall
