About This Product!
Description
Docs
Marshall has specialized in the production of valve amplification since 1962. The unique tone and playing response of the valve has formed the cornerstone of the Marshall "Sound of Rock," which we have modified over the years to cope with the changing demands of the evolving guitar player.

Imagine an amp head which draws on all the massive, wide open classic valve power of the original Super Lead Plexis, but with control facilities to take you through the full 36 years of Marshall tonal heritage and beyond. A head which is packed full of all the classic Marshall valve openness and roar that you could ever want, with more massive gain capability and a clean sound quite unlike any Marshall before. This description fully fits the JCM2000 DSL100 Dual Super Lead.

Features
100% pure valve signal path using Svetlana EL34 valves [when not using the Reverb or Effects Loop].

Two channels - Classic Gain and Ultra Gain.

Crystal Clean to massive Crunch switching on the Classic Gain channel.

Lead 1 to Lead 2 switching on the Ultra Gain channel.

Tone Shift switch to reconfigure the way the tone section [particularly the
Middle control] works.

Deep Switch which introduces unique Marshall resonance circuitry for increased bottom end.

Effects Loop with level selection switch.

"Great looking amp, even better sounds!"
Feature:
Good - does what it says on the tin. 2 channels, clean/crunch & lead. Each channel has 2 modes and it would be nice to change those from the footswitch. Its pretty versatile with seperate reverb for each channel and an effects loop - but its no JVM.

Quality:
Very well made - mines an early one, after 12 months of sitting on a shelf it turned on & sounded great with just a small warmup. Construction is very solid.

Value:
Mine was just over half the retail price - used they are better value. New - still pretty good compared to boogies, Diezel etc...

Desirability:
Just look at the logo.

Sound:
If you want that classic marshall tone with a bit more versatility than a 2203 or plexi this is your amp. Clean tones are the best I've heard from a marshall (probably with the exception of the new JVM). The crunch and lead tones really rock! As a caveat YOU MUST BIAS the amp before making up your mind. Mine had been sitting in a shop for 12 months without being played. Sounded ok in the shop, but once it was biased and re-tubed (only cost £20 for new JJ's) it was amazing! Sounds best when cranked! :D Its also really responsive to your playing, how hard you attack the strings etc...

Ease of Use:
Don't know how you could get much easier. Set the pres=2, treble=2-3, mid=4, bass=4-5 and pick your gain level & volume.

Support:
Emailed marshall a few times, although not with this amp. They respond quickly and are very helpfull.

Overall:
Don't think I'll ever sell this amp - I'll just get more marshalls :)

"If you really want it, and your gonna use it, get it"
Feature:
mode and deep switches. the footswitch is physically well built but the lead is crap. replace it. prob change the head to cab lead too.

Quality:
Could be a shipping thing but the tubes sometimes come loose in their fitting. not a major problem but watch out.

Value:
YES

Desirability:
sooooooooooo sexy. prefer it to tsl.

Sound:
love it! it would probably be my fav amp ever, but it's my first serious amp.i play thru a 1960a. i can get ANY sound, QOTSA, mogwai, opeth, very versatile. deep switch and mode switch work a treat. it really is 2 amps in one. i personally prefer 12oclock treb and bass and 2oclock mid with deep switch on at 10oclock crunch with my trem pedal and a tiny bit of reverb

Overall:
i expect this amp will last me the rest of my life if i take care of it. it's helped me to write across different styles, being able to hear how a certain lick sound on a certain type of overdrive or eq. complements any style of music, except grunge.
