Happy holidays people! Trying out the Marshall DSL1. Will it chug?
It pretty much was chugging from the time the tubes warmed up. Very cool, and Happy Holidays!
Thank you for including the cut to the room mic Ola, that actually helped me understand something. I couldn't figure out why my tone just seemed to be missing something compared to what you were getting, for example from the Pathos and Revv G3 pedals. I didn't realise just how different the sound through the cab mic is. I think you did that on one of your Revv pedal reviews also. I now have an isolation cab so I can run my amps at a higher volume and listen to the mic'd sound through my board. Big difference!
Merry Xmas! Can you do a review of the E1.7 FBB please? Can't find a single video about it. Thanks!
Yes.
hey Ola you should try the dsl5 from marshall
Q: Will it chug?
Chugs immediately at vid start.
A: Yes.
I love how Ola looks around the room whenever the chug is unexpected.
I subscribed after seeing that unexpected look on his face during the Boss Metalzone video :D
It looks like he's looking around the room for the amp that the sound is really coming from hahaha
"Y'all hear this shit??"
I think he’s looking at an SPL meter mounted across the room
He is looking at the DAW to make sure it's recording or not having distorted audio
Ola chasing his kids around the house with his arms out...
“Will! It! HUG!?l
Haha

kinda wholesome tbh
500th likeeee yeeeee
@Kyle Gustafson this is too cute and wholesome for this channel, o son of Gustaf. you shall be banned.
Marshall takes 2 years and millions of dollars in advertising to get someone to buy one DSL1. Ola takes 1 minute, and helps to sell millions! Priceless! I want one!
Yup...Marshall should send him some free shit for this video. I DEFINITELY want to buy one now as the tone it makes to me is absolutely the ideal metal tone for my tastes. Super rich sounding with a crushing meaty chug that has the sponginess of a good tube amp going into power-tube compression and the deep ballsy depth and roar of a much larger amp. I wish we could have heard a bit more of the clean sound, but I'm sure it's quite nice as well.
Larry Mar The power of TH-cam “influencers” lol
@@wigon The cleans are surprisingly super clean. So much so that I don't need a fender amp. I have the DSL40, and it has lots of clean headroom on that channel. The DSL1 sounds much more brighter over the DSL40 but an EQ in the loop will fix that. I have an old Lead12 double-stack that I would love to put the 1 watt head on.
@@LarryMar Yup same here. I also have one of those awesome old Lead 12 mini-stacks. Those are great amps for recording classic metal sounds, but not so great for modern metal. This one sounds much better voiced for modern metal. I agree that it would probably sound KILLER through those 10" cabinets from the mini-stack.
@@wigon Just throw a few Distortion pedals in front. LOL.
This is actually my favourite tone by far in this Will It Chug series.
Mooferoo Same here!
mine, too!
Woo hoo 100 likes!
So now that Ola chugged the Mark Tremonti PRS micro, what do you you all think?
- I'm seriously extremely curious.......
Amp over pedal any day of the week!
It's taken me an expensive dive down the overdrive pedal rabbit hole to discover...amps are better. Always!
Remember, Utube is a Marketing Machine trying to sell us...for the most part...PEDALS!
And if you're like me you'll keep going ,"Shut and take my money!"
I'll keep saying it....but for amps and better guitars...NOT overdrive pedals!
When Marshall chugged, I think most of us here were not even existing in the form of spermatozoa.
Yeah but it was chug lower case,, not today's CHUG!!
I do actually....
@Return of the Native if you're really 70 then you're a veteran bro you witnessed the birth of metal
@@shred9475 at 70, he witnessed the birth of metal's parents. Lol I'm just messing around though. I would have loved the scene back then.
Don't understand the hate for the DSL series from Marshall snobs, they're super good sounding amps, and this one really doesn't sound as small as I'd expect from a 1w amp
I don't get why too. I like the DSL serie too
I think the DSL50 head is my favorite, I have the JMP-1 and a JCM800, and they're fine, but that DSL has something special going on
In the early days they had a lot of reliabilty problems, the "bias drift" issue rendered a lot of units unusable. But the amp itself it's really good.
Me too..
Dsl greatt
@@AndreiGrozea I've got a JCM 2000 DSL 50 head and it is killer!
Cool vid! Great tone! Nicely done, good sir!
Oh hey grandma Glenn, jk😂
So no Hammer of Truth for this one?
Covid???
@@CyclesAreSingularities get a peavy viper! Or a katana artist IF u have a pc.
Hi Glenn
This thing seriously sounds HUGE
And they're very inexpensive.
Yup, and it's only $300!
Of course Marshall chugs, a boosted Marshall has been the sound of Thrash and oldschool Death metal like... well... the all of oldschool age.
MaaZeus most Marshall’s like the jcm800 and plexis need a boost in front to give it that chug
@@guitarchugs9191 not cranked ;D
I have this amp. For some reason it's a little hotter than the average Marshall....and a little brighter too. It has all the growl of a big Marshall but with just a bit more in the right places. I think it's just an engineering fluke that slipped past their sound engineers......but a really good one.
Exactly man. No marshall = no Metallica
Yeah, we have two 1980s vintage Marshall JCM 800s that really have very little distortion but sound absolutely phenomenal.
Honestly, the newer DSL line is my favorite series of Marshall amps. They have that super high gain 80's-90's metal tone that I really love.
8:18 YES. That's that Marshall chug, right there. It just can't be beat.
Lmao it sounds like Metallica
Flash before my eyes
@@shaggymotionless4269 That's Stravinsky's Rite of the Spring!!!
One of the best tones i've ever heard from a Marshall
I find it funny that this is one of the best tones Ola has recorded over the many years he's been demoing amps. He usually always makes so many amps sound so similar, but this sound stood out in a good way.
3:59 "But now when I try it out its sexually..."
That's what I heard too.
"arousing"
Yup! lol
the subtitles have find "sexually" too XD
The best tone of yours amp test of 2019.
Agreed in full. Right around the 7 minute mark when you pulled the bass back just a smidge, and had the Tube screamer upfront, god damn perfection. Mids pushed, crunchy, sounds really great. Bravo sir.
DSL-1 with the Ts9 is tone perfection, ideal for a small studio.
I’m running a DSL20 combo with a tube screamer mini through the front and god damn…what a brutal sounding rig man.
DSL-1 is a total gem of a bedroom amp. Carries on in the proud Marshall way, with a real roar, like no other amps. What a bargain!
I own one and love it.
It is an absolute joy to watch your videos! Ola you are a kicking it bro. So happy you keep putting out content.
I honestly love how he is prepared for the video, but didn't prepare anything else... Love you Ola!!!
"Will it chug? that's all that matters"-Ola Englund
Best quote of 2019
I'm glad that your last vid in the iconic old home studio was one in which you found a new appreciation for a Marshall Amp! I have a few and, though they do have a few models that don't quite hit the mark of "high-gain", I pretty much love 'em all. I'm looking forward to, hopefully, seeing a few more on your channel! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, Ola!
(Edit and apology below - the following info I provided yesterday on the DSL1 is incorrect). The 1 watt Marshall amps (DSL1, JCM1, JVM1) are part of the Marshall 50th Anniversary edition series. They come in a head and combo version for all three models. The DSL1 is Marshall's attempt to reproduce the tones of the 90's, the A channel is set up to sound like a Plexi, while the high gain channel is modeled after the 2203 (JCM 800 100 watt head). To Marshall's credit, they were some of the early models in this low watt range, specifically designed so you didn't have to crank your non-master volume amps to get that classic tone. I'd say the JVM1 is probably a bit closer to the territory you may like for "chugging", especially the JVM-1h (head version), since it connects nicely to any external cab. EDIT: My apologies, I was thinking this was part of the 50th Anniversary Series and didn't realize Marshall had made a different version of the DSL1H. Thanks to those below for the update, and I hope I didn't cause too much confusion. Thank you!!
This isn't that though, is it? They remade a DSL1 in their far east factory more recently (the one shown in the video). The 50th anniversary ones are all made in the UK and are from about 2012.. the DSL1H has JCM2000 written on the front
The DSL is only one that they continued to make, but these new ones aren't the same. The ones you're mentioning have a separate volume control for the clean channel, and are made differently, and valued higher.
@@lastscatteringsurface9950 correct ! I believe they were also made in the UK.
I had the 50th jvm 1 watt, it was bad ass, but i sold it to pay for a fryette,, I miss tha little marsala, although I will never get rid of the Fryette.
This amp is NOT part of the anniversary series, the 50th ann. DSL1 is made in england. And sold for $800,, this amp is made in China and sells for $299.. but you are right the 50th JVM1 would chug better,,, just costs way more and you can't buy them anymore unless you find a used one.. so.....
I really like these "Will it chug" segments. It's cool to see new gear and hear how it sounds.
"It's one of those tube amps that takes a while to get a sound going."
All tube amps I've played need about 10 minutes to warm up, it even says so in the Marshall DSL manual that you should let it warm up for 10 minutes.
Ola's sarcasm got you! :D
Found the American.
@@charlesmiller3278 What does nationality have to do with anything
I have the DSL1 combo and it freakin' wails like a BEAST. The 8" speaker is a bit too bright so I built an extention cabinet using a 10" Crate bass amp with a Celestion VT Jr. speaker. I plugged with port with a thick foam pad and it DEFINITELY chugs. (I was running the amp through a pair of MG4×12's using a "cab merger" box. It was exhilarating but deafening so I built the 1×10 cab.)
I have a Squier Contemporary HH Tele with Dimarzios, Super Distortion & 36th anniversary PAF, and it's monstrous sounding through the DSL1.
Chug on, Ola, greetings from Greater New Orleans.
Happy New Year everyone!
Finally playing another Marshall amp
Been out of playing for a long time. Ola, you just helped me find my next amp. Thanks man and that Marshall with a Tube screamer sounds KILLER!
This is the best single Watt I heard in my life
Try the 50th anniversary Marshall 1Watt amps if you can find one - they are absolutely killer....
I have the 60s model JTM1 head which is so amazingly good at cleans, warmth and crunch; and I have the 00s model JVM1 head, which really is nothing short of stellar in truly any gain setting...
That said: the DSL in this test does indeed sound great.
Everytime I search for a specific amp review, you always got em so now u earned a subscriber
Ola your channel is one if the best guitar channels available. Your humor is the best. You always provide a good time. Getcha pull.
I bought the DSL-1 about 2 years ago right after NAMM that year and it kicks ass in your (home) studio. One of the best sounding and versatile small amps I ever owned or tried... I guess I had a pretty similar facial expression as you when I first plugged it into my 1x12" Greenback cabinet... ;-)
4:00 "it's sexually..."
Yes sir, that's a Marshall
Well, this video was an emotional roller coaster. That little amp surprised me, it sounded amazing! Sad that it's the last video in your old place. All in all though, you looked really happy playing that amp, and that's terrific to see!
Damn that boosted tone sounded actually legit from this end of TH-cam! Wouldn't be that bad for recording imo! I'm very impressed!
Chugga Chugga Choo Choo
Goo Goo ga joob
CHOO CHOO CHOOOO
My band was writing a song and on the paper we used to put the parts in order, the breakdown was labeled “chugga chugga choo choo” lmao
you guys all choo chooo hooray
I got 69th like lmao chugga chugga
Well of course it will. Absolutely love the DSL line. Ive only messed with the bigger ones but it seems this one is no different.
Yeah I got one a few weeks ago and love the sound out of the box. Deraps also plays one for EVH styles. Can’t go wrong here.
Been eyeing this amp for some time now. Ola you did justice for the DSL 1!
Was thinking about getting this for Christmas but decided to wait. Now I’m sold
just found this video after it was linked on a guitar group on Facebook. I did not expect that to sound that damn good! I want one now!
It's a very versatile little amp. Not only does it chug, it has a brightness on the clean channel (at low volumes) that's not common on Marshalls. Run it direct into a sound board and It sounds as good or better than any Marshall ever made.
That little sucker sounds awesome especially with a tube screamer! Wow. Hats off to Marshall!
Gotta love when Ola doesn't expect something to chug as well as it does.
Ola, I bought a DSL40 combo in part because of this video. If the 1-watt head can chug this well, imagine what the 40-watt combo can do. Or the 100-watt head, but I didn't have room for that plus a worthwhile cab.
I absolutely love this amp. I got it for my birthday at the end of September and have it in my bedroom with a Seismic Audio 1x12 Luke cab and got a brand new 1x12 16ohm Celestion Greenback speaker to go with it. I can get any Metal tone from this that I want and it’s perfect volume for at home. The reverb sounds good and you can also get nice clean sounds. I play it with an Epiphone Les Paul Custom with passive pickups and a Harley Benton Explorer with Wilkinson passive pickups and they both sound killer.
Awesome! I think I’m going to get this amp as well. Have an ltd viper with EMG’s as well as Harley Benton EX-84 with cheap active’s. Do you use any pedals?
You know it's chugging when Ola starts dialing the gain back.
This amp has a lot of gain. Past 3/4 gain it gets muddy. I play mine at half
@@TheDirtyfax ya I have a DSL 100...I know what you mean. I use a Pepers dirty tree pedal(Fortin 33 clone) and it really tightens up the gain so you can set it higher without the mud. But really, who needs that much gain lol.
I have one of these. I also have a Superbass. It is AMAZING how big the DSL1 sounds and feels playing it!
Thanks Ola.....I had just bought one 10 minutes before I watched this, a friend said watch this guy demo it.......now we're all pleased this amp is not a dud....thank you
"Marshall" a brand you can trust to deliver whats needed when its needed
That amp sounds like a beast! I'm impatient to receive my Fortin Grind to get even a better tone out of it.
Oooooo, I hear some new riffs! Album on the way, I can feel it. Keep the good stuff comming!
The best tone I've ever heard in my life in a bedroom at reasonable volume was the 50th anniversary one of these (JCM 2000 1watt) pushed by a Waza SD1 in custom mode, the guy was playing a really sweet Tele with a 4 way switch in parallel mode. It was ******g immense!
Damn, that amp was chugging pretty much from the beginning of the video. Marshall killin' it again.
Damn that sounds a hell of a lot better than I thought it would.
I bought this head because of this video and I totally love the damn thing. It's the best amp I've owned for home practice and recording. I play it through a single Celestion Greenback. It should be noted that it also has a built-in power attenuator, perfect for bedroom volumes.
Wow man I didn't expect from it , It actually sounds great , thanks for making this amazing Vlog and I gonna really miss this room BTW congratulation on your new era and new office 😉🤟
Yeah, sounds awesome!
Honestly, that little amp sounds pretty damn good. Impressive for such a small amp
hey ola you are fricken awesome the dsl1 when i played through it had great giggle factor !i put my marshall micro through my pa and got chug i love your will it chug vids i have a b52 at100 i feel it is an under rated amp it would be sweet to see one of you videos making it chug because i know it does thanks man you are the man
Just bought this little guy 1 week ago, sounded fucking great the first time plugged in! I'm running it through a 1x12" PRS cabinet with G12T-75 (I know this speaker has been discussed quite controversial, but I've always been a fan of mid-scooped heavy distortion). First I had the Orange Ppc112 with a vintage 30, but I couldn't get along with this harsh sound.
I only play at home, mostly in the 0.1Watt mode, this takes just a little bit of punch out of the sound, but for practising this really does the job.
I got a few little helpers which REALLY increase the sound properly for playing at bedroom volume through a 12"
TC Sentry Noise gate after guitar
Ibanez Ts808dx Tubescreamer with Iintegrated booster (seperatly switches)
And 10 band EQ through the fx loop
Les Paul 2 Humbuckers
All in all not quite s cheap as if you just would buy the Dsl1, but the 0.1watt makes a proper bedroom rocking machine and in combination with a few little helpers (which give you a lot more control for your sound) you'll have a true heavy metal machine giving you an authentic and also individual sound you'd never expect from this cutie.
Choose your cabinet wisely...a 8" (like the combo) will give you more saturation out of the tubes, because you can turn up the volume more as you could with the 12". But an 8" pushes less air and will always sound "boxy" benefit: fits in the living room everywhere and the amp can be cranked even more.
The 12" pushes more air which makes the Chugg very tight (EQ in fx loop!)
A vintage 30 12" may sound good at the amp cranked full, but for playing at home it may not be doing the trick.
I live in a apartment house, so I can't play that loud (0.1watt volume max on half) but it sounds actually really really good, cause the 12" pushes nicely (10 band EQ)
I highly recommend this lilttle Metal Machine
Hi Ola, one of my Amps is a Marshall DSL401 Combo with a Master Volume, you can really push it to get a Great Metal Tone, I think the DSL Series of Marshall's are underrated!
I was surprised how good the 1 watt sounded.
Take care ♥️🎸👍.
Melbourne, Australia.
I have a DSL 40C, for me the best Amp I ever had.
I Love the Sound of this Amp.
Killer reviews finally found some one who gets the metal sounds reviewing/demoing gear
I got the DSL5C (10" combo) and the thing I like about this amp is that it sounds just good when you turn it on.
Tried this with my dad on "WIII HE HUG". This video stream and timer has been on for the past year and has no end in sight.
Watching this in my car and that amp sounds pretty rad. For being a little guy I am very impressed.
DSL / TSLs are some of the best sounding amps out there, I got my hands on one and it consistently blows me away
That amp sounds really nice and heavy. I think a lot of people are gonna start playing these DSL Marshalls. It wouldn’t be a proper “Will it chug” video without the infamous tube screamer lol good video Ola! Btw DSL are my initials lol
“Let’s boost this sucka” 😂 that made me lol. Thanks for trying this out! I think the newer DSL’s are less hot when it comes to the distortion channels but the speakers are better. I have the first gen DSL40C and with an eminence cv-75 it sounds badass.
I just saw a commercial for yours, Keith's, and Jeff's tone pack for Bias FX II. Congrats man, you completely deserve that. Can you give us more info than the very short ad did?
Hot damn that little sucker sounds badass! Im gonna have to get one of those! Sick tone right out the shoot even without the overdrive! thanks Ola!
Man I’m super impressed!! This is a killer small amp with the boost. Sold!
Always liked that wall too.
Im going to get the DSL20HR based on this vid. You sold me on this... I was looking at a Bogner Alchemist and a 6505 MH, but this has that mid push that I need. All my heroes came up on Marshalls.
I run the dsl20 into a Harley Benton 4x12 and it’s amazing. Use the crate blue voodoo for low gain stuff and a second amp sound on tracks to break up the monotony.👍
my god that's sick! what a coincidence that i asked you to try out the Marshall DSL amp a few videos back!
I’ve got the 20 watt version of this head on 2x12 cab with v30’s from the mid 90’s, it sounds damn good if you crank it.
Mine has 2 greenbacka sounds sooo sick
Sounds so good I might actually buy one
You should.... They're fantastic with a big cabinet.
Nothing beats Marshalls.Period!!Great video!!
I'm learning more stuff from Ola's videos than any of my previous teachers.
To celebrate 50 years of Marshall amplification, Marshall released amps that reflect each decade throughout 2012. The '90s-voiced DSL-1H is sure to be an instant collector's item
One of the better modern Marshall amps I've heard.
This amp also has beyond Marshall crisp clean highs if you want it. It's a very impressive little amp. It's basically a JCM200 but smaller and better high tones.
Nice review..I Just bought this amp last weeks... It sounds pretty good to me and ITS LOUD...
Saw this video the other day and I happened to see one for $290 open box this morning so I snatched it up, thanks Ola!
Merry chugmass!
Felix Felixer Merry chungmas
1:17 laughed too hard 😂😂 out of nowhere hahaha
I have a DSL1HR and use it the same way with the ts-9 it kicks ass sounds like my JCM 800 2204 with the ts-9 which is a great chug /metal sound
I got my S1.6 PP for Christmas I’m so stoked!! I love you Ola
Q: How much chug is necessary?
Ola: Yes
Will it chug harp edition
I think it more than chugged, even without the TS engaged.
Very nice nice demo of a very nice amp!!!!!
Haven't put this guy through a 1*12 since I live in an apartment but I do own the combo version. Honestly it has all the marshall vibes from the old times to the new one. It does have its own sound though, which is something I appreciate. I play at 0.1 watt since 1 watt is way too loud. What's not to like? Takes gain pedal exceptionally well and has a good fx loop. Perfect home use amp imo and even had the 1*12 output in case you wanna crank this for studio use. I might be biased here but honestly marshall is THE distortion sound in my head just like DS1 is the distortion box. I know this is an old rig but hey if it ain't broke.
The JCM 2000 DSL might just be one of the most under rated amps ever and contrary to what some elitists might say, with the same tubes in them, the new DSLs sound almost exactly the same. Great bang per buck in the DSL series
I love how around 10 years ago or so the internet hated the JCM2000s but the past few years it seems there was a change in perspective. I’ve had an ‘06 DSL50 for a while and I could never part with it.
That sounds full, fat and chuggy af, really nice!
Awesome stuff man! Love your informative chugg videos!!! Your effin rock!!
Once you added the tube screamer this one slaaaaaaps. You could record this tone on a modern metalcore album and I wouldn't blink. Probably the most modern metal tone I have ever heard out of a Marshall wow.
I have the older JCM 2000. Sooo underrated.
Not underrated. They are the entire reason for modern metal. They're just over criticized by gear snobs that think new is always better.
Ola: im gonna boost this sucker.
Also Ola: Forgets to push the button to engage.
By far my fav metal youtuber!
What a ludicrously good sounding little amp.
I love the sound of this amp. I had two. Both had problems. Cheap components.
