- The big one. Marshall DSL 40. The most features, sounds and of course noise! This 40 watt amp comes in a combo or head configuration and Will and Steve are here to talk you through there combo.
Check out the Marshall DSL40CR 40W 1x12 Combo with Reverb over at PMT Online: goo.gl/Lm2SPT
First lets talk about whats inside the 40. It houses EC83 pre amp valves as well as ER34's (so perfect for blowing your socks off or even playing at home) The speakers have been upgraded to Celestion V-Type, to really nail home that tone and versatility.
The all valve combo has its own built in reverb and two master volume controls, unlike previous models. The DSL 40 also has 2 channels (clean, overdrive) with EQ galore with the amazing Presence and Resonance controls.
This model comes fitted with more In/Out sockets then ever, including, emulated out, extra speaker out, line/MP3 socket, FX send and return and of course the humble foot switch. What more could you want?

had mine for 4 years now and i still love it.
Best demo I've seen on this amp. Thanks for playing the tele with it. It sounded fantastic with the amp.
Best crunch I have ever heard!!!!!!!
A review done right!
normally not a big tele guy or a fan of single coils for overdriven tones but that tele sounded incredible through the DSL.
bought this amp. happy with it. happier since i swapped the v-type spkr with an eminence fillmore.
I’ll be swapping it for a 65 creamback
@@jessetate9701 I swapped the V type for a creamback M65 and was blown away by how much better the amp sounds. I did not like the v type at all and nothing about it sounded rich or sweet . I found it very bright harsh brittle and slightly fizzy and was barely using the amp then i started seeing you tube demos where people had swapped in creamback M65s in various Marshall combos from the old DSLs and the never ones to JVMs and origin 50s and when was blown away by the tone . I also seen alot of praise for the M65 being used with modern Marshall's across various forums especially the Marshall forum . Many people reported that the M65 solved all the tonal issues they were having with the DSL40 which all happened to be the same issues I was having with them amp . I knew I was swapping the stock speaker and had it narrowed down to 2 choices the ceamback M or the Ceamback H. I was worried about using an M speaker in an open back combo. I thought it might be to loose and flabby in the bass and low mids and would loose definition but was also worried the creamback H would be too bright and harsh as it's just a high powered G12H30 which can be bright and harsh with certain amps but at the time I could not find any videos of people using the H75 creamback with the DSL and opinions from people who had made the swap to the H75 in the DSL were almost non existent but because I was so blown away by the tone of the speaker in all the videos I watched it seems like a safe bet . You tube videos can be very deceiving in both good and bad ways but I was extremely pleased with the M65 and it sounded even better in person even better then I expected. As great as it sounded online it sounded 10 times better in person. It made the DSL sound exactly the way I expect a Marshall to sound. It matches the tome I hear in my head . It's like the creamback M was made for the DSl 40 CR . It should be the stock speaker but that would move up into another price point most likely as the creambacks are some of celestions most expensive speakers as they are made in England but even still they sound so good in the DSL 40 and Several other modern Marshall's as well and so much better then the V type . It's just perfect in the DSl . It's just a bigger wider sound with more depth . It's also softer less harsh and less bright then the v type but also has more clarity and more definition at the same time and it's a killer speaker for both vintage and modern tones and when using the DSl 40 for classic rock or old school metal it does a much more accurate take on those tones with the creamback without sacrificing the any of its modern tonal ability. The Creamback also reduced the fizz of the amps by about 90 percent .
@@adamwatson6916 yea the stock speaker sucks even it folks have an ht Club mkii 40 watt definitely should swap the speakers out
I use this with my Ibanez S6521Q just to honk around with at the house- Love it- great tone- for my needs it does a great job.
you prolly dont give a shit but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all of the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother for the last couple of months =)
@Idris Langston Yup, I have been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself :D
Glad to hear someone uses it for home use.i know overkill for that ,but I still want it!!
@@drbud5150 If it sounds good and it makes you want to play, then it's not overkill. Just because the amp has the capability to blow your windows out doesn't mean that it has to be run that way :)
Great demo loved those tones on the tele and les Paul. This is way cheaper than that 1500 dollar jcm800 combo that has only a 10 inch speaker. Was considering that but don’t like the idea of 10 inch speaker at that price point so this just might be what I need.
OliverDid9/11 Perhaps you’ve made a purchase by now. But the little silver jubilee combo has a 12-inch speaker.
@@joelsero Silver Jubilee is $1,700
These amps take a beating from the critics and the purists . I own alot of vintage amps and high end amps . Marshall has come up with a way to make a great lil amp at a affordable price ....oh God forbid ! I have a jcm 800 and this new version of the DSL line is awesome more usable in many ways than the old school Marshalls . If you don't like the DSL 40 CR it's because you just don't want to like it or you don't know how to dial a amp in this is a great sounding little amplifier . They really upgraded the 2018 model it's a awesome little Combo that I got it and I am thinking about getting the hundred watt head and put it on a 1960 ax cab with greenbacks Probably sounds as good as any Marshall past or present to my 54 year old ears that have been playing guitar for 30 of those years. I mean hate if you want to but good sounds good and this is a great sounding amp hands down if the hundred watt head is as good as the 40 watt combo it just might turn into my go to
Agreed, the DSL40cr is a classic. Surprisingly good cleans and massive Marshall roar that terrifies neighbours
Yep I have this Amp and I personally think it sounds great- Who am I? No one, but I love to play I am serious/passionate about it as it is an amazing way to kick the stress of my day job to the curb.
I agree . I have a jcm 800 a single recto and a 6505plus I use a Marshall 1960 cab for all the heads. and I've got this amp for small gigs and I love it it's Marshall all the way very articulate through the 412 cab it sounds as good as the800 for so.e things. it has its own character and I like it👍
I use mine at bedroom levels and feel like I can’t get a good sound at all it sounds super fizzy. I have to turn my treble down really far to get rid of the fizz but then I have hardly any treble and the tone sounds awful. I’ve tried everything and i can’t get a good tone or I can get a tone that sounds good for chords but when I play single notes it lacks clarity.
@@chrisbenson2430 This amp might not be the best suited for bedroom volumes. It needs to be driven at higher volumes to sound its best. I just got one used and it sounds great turned up. If you only play at low volumes and don't gig or play with a drummer, you might consider the DSL15.
Sounds like everything classic in a little combo, classic British pop & American pop, Blues-rock, hard rock, progressive rock, new wave and grunge.
Just bought one today,,sounds Great! Enjoy your playing also !!!
Sounds perfect !!! What's the microphone you use for the amp ??
I'm curious as well
stuck between the egnater 40w tube combo amp The Marshall DSL40CR, Prs Sonzera 50w, or finally a Traynor yc40 with a v30 speaker. Currently using a fender champ 100 with pedals
Yep. Been playing and gigging with this amp for the last 3 years. Its fantastic. For that classic Marshall tone you won't get better for this price. The clean channel is fairly rubbish but that's not why someone gets a Marshall.
Can you get a Plexi-like tone? Im between this or an Origin 50c, the DSL is ahead for now. I want to be able to have great vintage tones (Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd) as well as 80s fat tones like GNR. It this amp the right choice?
Btw, why is the clean channel not good?
I actually got this bc I loved the clean channel :)
@@samuelc2399 Yes you can and the clean channel is awesome. Especially cranked.
You can Rearange the preamp tubes and have a cleaner clean chanel, also this is a Tube Freindly amp
you can use other pre-amp tubes and other Power Tubes, 6l6's 6550s KT66's, its really a great amp
I learned this from the Marshall Amp Forum.
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.
I know this is an older video but can anyone please tell me the exact model and color of the tele used in this video. Thanks in advance
looks like a professional series in fiesta red...
I own a couple of vintage Marshall amplifiers manufactured in England. I get tired of people saying my amp sounds just like a Marshall. Whatever. Give me an old Marshall or a Fender bassman anyday. I appreciate the new amps though as long as Vietmam wants to rock! Oh yeah, my Deluxe Reverb & Fender Twins with Jensens kinda jazz my ears too! The new Marshalls are great for alot reasons...one being they are not old like me...and break easily if hauled around. Anyway, get a Marshall...the logo will make you look and play better! 🤪
Surprised to hear Unskinny bop. Especially on a tele. Cool.
Honestly, that riff is quite countrified to me. Makes sense, especially on that back pickup.
It's very twangy on the record. I wonder if it was played with a Tele.
Marshall really missed making a DSL 40 Head version available with Crunch Mode.
the dsl 100 head goes to 50 which is why i dont think they make a 40 version
How do I connect a Talk box to the amp? ‘H’
This amp is a work horse very flexible amp but hey It's a Marshall!
Tune that thing
Nice review !!!! But dispite of this, It sounds terrible for me. Just a matter of flavour.
need a humbucker for metal and some rock
My reverb doesn't seem to be working or is just really really weak
The reverb is pretty much non-existant on the CR you will want to add a reverb pedal to the loop.
I was hoping someone would ask. I just got home with it and was convinced I bought an amp with a broken reverb. I went back and forth for 10 minutes between the reverb off vs. all settings maxed. Its not a weak reverb... its a missing reverb. Nada. Nothing.
I have the C and nope none of those tones yet
Lol the old explaining what the amp is to the other guy in the demo when he obviously already knows how it works but it’s a sales technique for us trick heh. Amazing amp though nice playing
Is having the two master volumes essentially just like having an attenuator?
Sean Armao No, you can set one volume for one channel and the other for the second channel. It’s a way to keep the overall output volume the same when switching between high and low gain settings.
@String Theorist same deal with this to be honest - those master volumes need to be cranked to get decent tone out of this amp. Control overall volumes with the channel volumes.
How about playing some lead up past the twelfth fret so we can hear how the high notes sound?
I can confirm it sounds all kinds of awesome ;)
How about go and test one out yourself shreddy mc shred shred.
Guess people hate this amp for absolutely nothing.
Guitarists are weird and reactionary. Modern amps are bad, PRS's are bad, Mesas are bad, Taylors are bad, Strat noiseless pickups are bad, coated strings are bad, even pedals are bad! Basically anything that came after 1958 is an abomination on all that is pure and holy.
FYI - The DSL40 only comes in a combo - not a head. Only the 1W, 20W or 100W comes in a head.
correct. If you wanted i 50 watt head though, the jcm 2000 would have you covered.
Sounds great! Spend more money and get a Fender Twin. You'll have the ultimate amp.
And choose between pedal distortion or natural distortion at volumes no one can play at.
Sounds great. Made for humbucker guitars
Did he just play unskinny bop??????
Jesus Loves You
how about you try the goddamn reverb
Reverb is for people who try to hide flaws in their playing.
@@Tony-vj5ws Nope. Reverb adds as depth, especially when playing on a clean setting. Now, using buttloads of pre-amp or pedal distortion is what people use to "hide flaws."
@@Tony-vj5ws reverb can actually make your mistakes stand out even more. Knob
The reverb on this is weak, but pretty nice. I run a reverb pedal through the loop because I like a little more but it's definitely useable.
Chumlee is going bald
Hahahahaa
For god sake, get some lav mics.
It sure ain't no 800.
good thing its called the DSL40CR then. No hate, but it's not trying to be an 800.
boz otimov Or 2000
lol are you really comparing a $780 combo amp to a $3500 stack? you fucking knob.
What an ass backwards demo!!!
Marshalls and Les Pauls are probably the most common combination in rock and roll. And y'all give a friggin' demo using a Tele for 95% of the video??? Wtf???
I'm not knocking the playing, just SERIOUSLY questioning the choice of guitars.
Sounds pretty fookin good to me, as someone who chooses a Tele over all my other guitars.
Nobody ever played a telecaster and a Marshall.. stupid!
Questionable guitar into a questionable amp.....and it sounded fine.
Guitar is out of tune ffs, do you guys not here that.
ur brain is out of tune WTF r u talkin about
