Full-tube combo for electric guitar with two channels and Celestion loudspeaker, including foot switch
The Marshall DSL1CR is part of the DSL Series of amplifiers, all-valve heads and combos that deliver classic Marshall tone and build quality. These amplifiers all boast a Classic and Ultra Gain Channel, giving musicians the option of pristine cleans to aggressive overdrives and anything in-between. Each channel also has a dedicated Master Volume control, perfect for those explosive set-piece solo moments. All the models in the range also provide an emulated output for recording purposes and a power reduction feature.
The DSL1CR has a 8” Celestion G8C-15 "Eight-15" speaker, offering exceptional response and rich textures. Also visible on the front panel of the DSL5CR is a Reverb control to set the wet/dry distribution in the signal. An excellent amplifier for low-volume sessions and rehearsals.
You know, to get the tube/valve sound, one has to crank the amp and that can hurt the ears and upset your family and neighbours. Not any more. This amp still sounds and feels great at 80-85db in 0.1watt mode when you are at home. That is still loud for a night practice though and the amp can go as loud as 100db in the 1watt mode, which is very loud in a small room. The combo sounds surprisingly full with plenty of bass. Quality sound and feel at lower volumes. I also like the reverb, first half sounds like a mix of spring in amp and hall type and when the reverb is dimed, it sounds similar to overdriven spring in amp reverb type. The Emulated out works and sound alright but playing through the speaker is a lot more inspiring and I'd recommend micing the amp for recording and also for practice with a band. The controls have good range. And the combo is well built with sturdy Marshall handle and looks class, I really like it.
It is absolutely amazing , how a so small piece of equipment , can produce so good sound . All of the history of Marshall amplification in a small combo . There is no dark point into this product ...... Do not the change tubes , do not change the speaker , donot connect a biger cabine , do not use distortion pedals, just play and enjoy .....
