- The Marshall DSL40CR 40W Valve Combo is a powerful amplifier that delivers a full assortment of features for use on stage and in the studio. It is loaded with EL34 valves for an organic and responsive sound and feel. The amplifier has 2 gain modes (Classic and Ultra) which each have 2 modes, effectively giving you 4 channels of versatile gain levels. This will let you shape every sound imaginable; from clean tones through to edge-of-breakup sounds and onto full-on saturation lead sounds. The DSL40CR has a full range of EQ with independent presence and resonance controls to match the acoustics of the room. It also has a built-in reverb with independent levels across the two gain modes. 2 separate master volumes add the ability to create a solo level sound for instant volume boosts, accessible via the footswitch. The DSL40CR also has a switchable output power setting meaning you can get the same great valve tone at a lower volume. A separate direct output also gives access to Softube emulation, letting you can get the sound of a professionally mic'd up cabinet simply by running a cable between the amp and a mixing desk/recording device. The DSL40CR is an all-encompassing amplifier that represents a new standard in gigging and recording amplifiers. The new Softube emulations make it an even more potent tool, and it should easily adapt to many different musical situations.
By far the best amp I have ever owned, great tones at any volume, playing any SG or Tele.
Chuck M does it take pedals well?
@@babyyoda3467 "Taking pedals well" is hilariously faint praise, especially for a tube amp. The only pedal that might not be "taken well" is an overdrive - and this amp has plenty of gain on tap to not really need one of those for most purposes.
@@babyyoda3467 although it’s subjective in my opinion, the short answer is YES! Really depends on what pedals and how you run them like any other amp. I bought mine because I love Marshall gain so I don’t run overdrive, just a fuzz and my Klon set with no gain and just switch channels when I want gain. Best bang for your buck if Marshall tone is what you’re after. I know this post is old AF but hey, I was here. LOL
This amp suitable for play on night club or Not ?
@@Brad143 Clubs and un-mic'ed gigs are pretty much what this amp's *for*.
Like most other tube amps, the DSL40 enjoys being loud. It sounds at its best when you open up the volume and get those tubes working. Quieter usage is a secondary usage - but it's a good secondary usage. It sounds *best* loud, but it still sounds *really good* quiet.
Just got my DSL 40CR. Love it!
Great celestion g12 v-type vintage speaker amp sounds huge the tube tone is massive crank it up and the better it sounds
Joshua Skolnick does it take pedals wrll
I have a DSL 40C and I love it! I also have a 100 watt DSL 2000 made in England! They both sound like Marshalls! Both are great sounding amplifiers!
just picked up this amp and I love it, its my first tube amp too
William Winn does it sound good with pedals?
Baby Yoda definitely
wow a demo where you play on each channel very well and show us what it sounds like!!!! Great demo as there wasnt one word spoken. Thanks!
I just got off it. I’m tired,can’t concentrate. Not in the zone. Just an endless rambling solo. I think these tubes are about due for replacing and I have a set right here but it just sounds soooo gooood. Marshall. Get it
SORRY I'M LATE ON THIS ONE. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR PLAYING RHYTHM. MOST REVIEWS PLAY LEAD. CAN'T REALLY HEAR THE AMP. YELLING CAUSE I'M OLD THANK YOU.
I own the 100HR. I think this one sounds just as good.
Well, it is basically the same amplifier. The only difference is this has 2 less power tubes (so it doesn't blow the speaker) and is in a combo package rather than a head-and-cab.
I got the DSL40CR and I use the internal plus a 412 of V30s - sounds awesome. I think better my 100 watt JVM.
Perfect this amp Loves Vintage 30s thats what i replaced the speaker with. I also have a 4x12 cab with
Heritiage G12H 55hz Greenbacks and two Vintage 30s
Thanks for using a Stratocaster! Rory Gallagher, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Gales! Nice demo. Thanks
Dennis Jones how are you happy that he played a strat through a Marshall!!!!
@@guitarianrockin4378 YT is flooded with vids of this amp with humbuckers, as a strat guy this video was very helpful to me choosing this amp.
tony scardaci well I’m really glad that you have this amp man, it’s a real beauty especially for the price👌😂👊
@@guitarianrockin4378 Some of us are hardcore Stratocaster addicts (including me) and this is my favorite version of the Strat (HSS Shawbucker Strat), so I'm glad to hear EXACTLY what one of my most favorite guitars on Earth sounds like through one of my favorite amps! (I also like vintage Ibanez RG550 and RG570 guitars made at the Fujigen plant in Japan, and the 2000-2004 American-made "red stripe" Peavey Bandit amp.) I HAVE, however, heard Anderton Music demoing a Les Paul through this amp, and it sounded WONDERFULLY BEASTLY (especially in OD2 mode) so I can certainly relate to what you said!
@@guitarianrockin4378 dude, you ain't KIDDING! The EXACT sound I want, at a wattage level that won't get me arrested! (drool, drool, drool)
nice job breaking out slipping away by black Sabbath very cool . should have used an sg though.
Whats the point of showing the amp over and over again if you aren't going to show the settings?
was the demo performed with a dsl40cr with seventy-80 or the upgraded V-type that came in later ?
Too many strats in these videos need more warm Les Pauls!
Agreed... that Strat ruined the demo.
th-cam.com/video/2mcGfv8HJis/w-d-xo.html
why is it almost every demo of modern marshall use strats and telecasters he played slipping away by black Sabbath you need to break out an sg with some nice medium output pickups to get that iommi darkness and bite
The Strat has a humbucker
Sorry we aren’t all just obsessed with the brand name on the headstock
Marshall really missed making a DSL 40 Head version available with Crunch Mode.
The 100HR is basically the same amplifier, just with 2 more poweramp tubes.
@@JohnvanCapel
But much Power for bedrom guitarrist
@@flavionovaes363 A 100 watt amp isn't actually that much louder than 40 watts given the same speakers. Low-power mode doesn't really matter in that regard - a 50 watt amp isn't that much louder than a 20-watt amp either.
Even in low-power mode, the 40 watt version would still be *way* too loud for bedroom usage unless you pair it up with a little 1×12 speaker cabinet and keep the master volume somewhere below a quarter of the way up - and that use case is covered by the combo version, without the need for a separate cabinet.
That's not even going into the use-case of using it with a load-box going directly into a mixer/interface - that use-case is just as well covered by the 100-watt head, given the amp's volume doesn't matter at that point.
Can't decide between this Marshall, fender hot rod deluxe, or even blues Jr. Gonna be playing with a Boss GT100.
boss gt 100 sucks, get a fuzzbubble 45 overdrive killer tones. made by cloud 9 effects.
If you're playing with a Boss GT100 it won't matter one iota which amp you plug it into - you could plug it into the cheapest practice amp or a Dumble, it'll just sound like a Boss GT100.
Going to switch out the speakers for v30
Hi, my name is Francesco, I wanted to know is the AUDIO IN section also used to put an mp3 player to play with the backing tracks? If so, how do the backing tracks and guitar feel together? once I had another Marshall with the AUDIO IN section but with the bases the sound of the guitar was not the same, it was uglier and fake, I don't know why. Hi, I hope you can help me, I need it for playing on the street.
😎🤘🏻🤘🏻
By setting the Master 2 volume control low, and the Ultra Gain volume & gain controls high, does that allow you to get a really nice overdriven tube sound at low volumes? I was thinking of getting the DSL5CR as a nighttime bedroom practice amp (set to the 1-watt setting), but now I'm thinking/hoping I can get that same nice crunchy tone at lower volumes with the DSL40CR using the Master volume control. The DSL40CR would also be more versatile because I could also use it for band practice & gigging.
I found a review and an actual website that shows the features of this amplifier! There is an emulated headphone plug hole that you can plug your headphones and practise silently at night ! DSL40cr is loud enough to play gigs with your band and the drummer wont be an issue... i tested the old DSL15c against a drummer and it has enough power to perform against a medium hitting drummer (on OD channel) .... Thats all I know i hope i helped you ! Be well!
Thanks! Do have a link for the site with that review? I actually have the older version of this 40 watt amp (DSL40C), and even with the wattage cut in half to 20 watts, the ultra gain channel still doesn't sound too good at low volumes. That's why I was considering the DSL5C & DSL5CR. But then I saw the DSL40CR and found out about the Master 1 & 2 volume controls and thought that would work for nighttime playing at home too. Good to know about the emulated headphone jack, that would definitely come in handy when everyone in the house is sleeping. But I want the ultra gain channel to sound good through the speaker too when set to low volumes. I guess I'll have to wait until our local Guitar Center has one in stock so I can try it out. Thanks again!
Thanks, for now I've decided to keep my DSL40C. I've actually decided to buy the DSL1HR 1-watt head which has a 0.1 watt low power mode because I think I need the lowest wattage possible in order to be able to crank the volume high enough to get the tubes hot enough to make the high gain tones sound good at a volume that won't annoy family members or hurt our pets' ears. I'm hoping our local GC gets a DSL40CR soon so I can try it. If I like what I hear with the ultra gain channel volume cranked up and the Master volume turned down, I may eventually trade in my DSL40C for it.
I do most of my playing at home, and even in 20 watt mode, I can only turn the volume of my DSL40C between 1.5 and 2. On my Marshall AVT150H, I can only turn the volume up to 0.5! High gain doesn't sound good at these low volumes, so I can't wait to get that 1 watt head!
sorry, you made a bad decision
Julian Gunney - Actually I couldn't be happier with the DSL1HR. After getting a Boss EQ for it, I'm getting MUCH better tones at low volumes than I could have ever gotten with the DSL40C, which I rarely play anymore. At this point I've decided to trade in the DSL40C for a used JVM410.
Can this go direct into a board or does it need to be mic'd?
How does It works with pedals?
dime the masters(both of them ()
what is the first song he's playing?
Own this amp you wont be disappointed when you hook your Les Paul to it.
ron sampson does it sound good with pedals?
@@babyyoda3467 Yes already! It loves pedals! :)
Will this be a louder 40 watts , the one I have doesn't compete with with other same wattage amps on stage
How well you can hear an amp on stage has a lot to do with where you are standing. If you haven't already, try standing further away from your amp. You'll find it cuts through much better when you're standing ten feet away than when you're right next to it.
Marshall amps in general are known for punching through clearly, this one's no exception.
One tip, if you want to cut through in a mix, regardless of what you're using - *do not scoop the mids* on your EQ. The mids is where your guitar *lives* in the mix.
Anyone else's reverb not working on this amp?
The reverb on this amplifier isn't very present, you have to practically turn it up to 10 to get any use out of it.
My first one does a bit, second one doesn’t, I can get a decent sound through clean channel and pedals but all the other channels sound awful! Muddy nothing at all like any of the demos on here. ☹️
Great amp but the Reverb is absolutely shockingly weak.
I don't know if to go with the 20W or 40W. I live in an apartment with 3 other roommates and we're all college students. Is the 40W ridiculously loud or can it be brought down to a low volume without interfering with tone too much? I currently play through a Blackstar Id: Core series 20W, but I've been wanting a tube amp for so long.
Tiger Blood 1978 sweet
With the half power switch on and volume down its not to loud
It can be brought down to a reasonable volume, maybe not apartment level though. The master volume means it does it *better* than its 20-watt brother.
Of note, the emulated output takes headphones if you leave the amplifier in standby mode. Every version does that.
1 watt. It is plenty loud and sounds good. If you get a 20 you will need an attenuator even in 10 watt mode. I have a couple of 1 watt heads and the Marshall is the best and loudest
I don't see the main difference. Just the two masters and what is the loop thing? IS this speaker better than the 70/80? I can't choose between the regular one or this one.
Yes, this speaker is MUCH better than the 70/80, which is too flat and treble-y. The new V-Type speaker is warmer and helps cut the harsh high-end spike. The loop button is to turn the FX loop on/off.
The new DSL40CR also allows you to use the optional 6-way footswitch to change between modes in each channel (OD1/2, Clean/Crunch), which is an option many people have been wishing to have for a long time. If you don't already own one, then I'd suggest going for the new one.
leatherwings007 so it does not come with any footswitch?
It comes with a two-button footswitch that toggles the channel and fx loop. The 6-button switch is sold separately.
The Celestion V type is an excellent speaker.
Sean Armao yea it runs cooler and the speaker is a celeation v-type speaker its a 2018 vintage classic
Not a v30 but vclassic. Sounds wayyyy better just got mine.
Is this one worth the $150 more over the 20W?
Sean Armao i say it is,
20watt low mode=apartment/house jam sesh.
40watt high mode= stage power.
My 40CR is a beast.
absolutely, my 17 year old son got this 40 and it rocks.
Only if you want to gig with it!
For the 2 extra channels, better speaker, dual reverb and (dual) master volume - I'd say yes. Much more versatile, much more usable at low volumes (ironically).
Made in Vietnam?
@@jamrackmusic2198 That seems to be the rule for most newer generation amps. A few years ago, a friend of mine who works in a music store told me that he unpacked three faulty mesa boogie amplifiers in a row.
you need at least 3-4 hours to dial in a good tone then take a pic or make detailed notes or you’ll be very frustrated w it.
I’ve owned my for a while at that is a terrible example of the cleans, they’re so much better than that but I guess dude “eq’d” them to taste. What do I know.... Just saying...
If you’re going to demo/review a Marshall for god sakes use a humbucker (Les Paul, SG, PRS, etc) guitar!
It's an HSS Strat, it has a humbucker on the bridge. He played the guitar with the selector switch on the first position only for the clean channel at the beginning, the rest of the video was played on the fifth position using only the humbucker.
Think outside the box
The boss katana amp for the price you can't beat it and it won't break your back .
Unfortunately the clean sounds like garbage.
I had a DSL40c, My Mesa is superior in everyway
DSL40C definitely has a lot of drawbacks, but this new DSL40CR is significantly better. But Mesa is a fine amp. However, it's kinda hard to compare a high-end amp like that to a budget model that costs less than half the price.
Well, what'd you expect? The Mesa is at least 3 times the price, of course it's going to be better.
Pfft... its Marshall badge on a Vietnamese amp. No thanks.
Winston Wolfe shows how uneducated you are...doesn't matter we're it was made these days..its still a True Marshall...i have a Marshall MG 100 FX that is much better than any DSL Marshall..and a musician friend of mine has a Marshall JCM900 and he actually prefers my Marshall MG 100 FX over his JCM900...so their you have it..just because you don't like something doesn't make it shit...
Using your logic, a Gibson guitar from China is a real Gibson too? Amateur.
Winston Wolfe and here's another for ya smart ass...the Marshall MG 100 FX Smokes a lot of the tube Marshalls..more power and better tone..oh yes brain surgeon i have two 1982 JCM800..that i run together with the Marshall MG 100 FX...so little boy anymore questions let me know...go back to playing with your hot wheels..and leave the Marshall talk to us real musicians...
@@ashthegreat1 I have a mildly modded Epiphone Les Paul Tribute Plus (with altered pots, wiring and Seymour Duncan pickups). I absolutely guarantee you that if you were blindfolded, there is no way on EARTH that you'd be able to tell the difference by sound alone. Sustains for days and the tone is insane. Granted, you'd know when you touched it but only because of the lacquer. I've owned 4 Gibson Les Pauls over the years and still have 2 of them. I bought the Epi because one of the bars we play at is, shall we say, "lively" and usually results in people jumping on stage, etc. and I was always super paranoid about dinging one of the Gibsons. I've been utterly blown away by the quality. Say what you want about Chinese guitars but, as the years go by, they are getting better and better. It won't be long until THEY have all the expertise, rather than the guys in the US. I also have an un-modded 1997 Korean Epiphone SG (the G-400 I think is the name of the model) and, again, from sound alone, you would never ever know that it wasn't a Gibson.
Yamaha ls16, ls ta best ever acoustic guitar made in china
The Marshall MG 100 FX MUCH MUCH Better than any DSL Marshall...
Wait you think a solid state amp sounds better than a tube amp... ugh 👌
@@ronnieparfait Ignorance is bliss...
@@ronnieparfait To be fair, Dave Simpson has a series of videos proving solid state can go head to head (pun intended) with a tube amp.
@@Razzpresenta I liked the homer Simpson one better. But I guess this Dave guy will have to do
