A Classic Valve Design, Reproduced to Spec

Just like the classic DSL100, the DSL100H is an all-valve design boasting 4 x ECC83 and 4 x EL34 tubes. These impart a rich tone from the moment you turn the amp on, and then gradually reveal a complex and rich evolving world of crunch as you push the gain stage.

Resonance Control, 3-Band EQ and Mid-Shift

For more than three decades of hard rock and metal music, the sound of a distorted DSL100 has been a benchmark for musicians crafting powerful tones. Now you can take your own quest for tone even further with the newly-added Resonance control that gives you more control over the low-end weight and balance. There is a 3-band Treble/Middle/Bass EQ as well, which delivers a highly musical range of color for you to explore. A Mid-Shift button allows you to immediately conjure the furious sounds needed for hard rock leads and shredding metal tones.

Add the Optional Footswitch

An optional footswitch allows you to switch between the 2 channels and read more engage or disengage the DSL100H's on-board digital reverb. The footswitch also allows you to toggle between the Classic Gain and Ultra channels with "Clean/Crunch" and "Lead 1/Lead 2," so you can move effortlessly between the DSL100H's powerful clean tone and the high-gain sizzle you want.

Great I/O Design for Maximum Versatility

The rear panel on the DSL100H features some very thoughtful I/O design. The series FX Loop is fully bypassable via an on/off switch. There is also a Pentode (Full Power)/Triode (Half Power) switch that drops the power amp's output to 50 watts in situations where you still want a crunchy tone, but a less crushing volume. Musicians have been using the DSL100 as a studio amplifier for years, and this feature makes it somewhat more manageable in such situation. There are 2 x 8 ohm outputs to run to cabinets or loudspeakers, and 1 x 16 ohm jack as well.

Half Stack Includes Marshall MX412 Speaker Cabinet

Featuring four Celestion G12E-60 speakers and iconic black covering with white piping, this cab is ready to rock any stage. Pair up the DSL100 with either an angled or straight cab -- both equally classic half-stack combinations.

Marshall DSL100H Guitar Amplifier

This Marshall Half Stack with DSL100 Head and MX412 Cab is a powerful amp for players who want their guitar to resonate throughout the room. The all-tube Marshall DSL100H Dual Super Lead Guitar Amplifier Head offers 100 watts, 2-channels and a feature set that replicates the DSL100 plus upgraded resonance control, studio-quality, digital Reverb and a rear-panel Pentode/Triode switch to drop the amp's output power to 50 watts.

The DSL100's footswitchable Classic Gain and Ultra Channels each boast two modes - Clean/Crunch and Lead 1/Lead 2 respectively. These will take you from Plexi-style, pristine clean to Marshall JCM800 snarl, hot-rodded 2203, high gain lead and all points in-between. The flexibility of the shared 5-way EQ (Treble, Middle, Bass, Resonance and Presence) section is increased further by a Mid-Shift button - perfect for modern metal brutality.

A Series FX loop on the rear panel (bypassable via an on/off switch) adds to the Marshall DSL100H head's professional flexibility, as does the Pentode (Full Power)/Triode (Half Power) switch which drops the power-amp's output to 50-Watts. It also changes the amp's tonal character as Triode mode produces a smoother, less aggressive sound.
