Technical Info
Channel 1 packs a mid-boost switch, while channels 2 and 3 feature independent "tone shift" buttons. The front-panel master section includes independent reverb, effects mix, and presence knobs for the clean channel, while the lead and crunch channels share a duplicate set of these controls.
Rear panel features include 3 extension speaker jacks (allowing for 4Q, 8Q, and 16Q loads), plus an XLR line out, which features the same speaker simulator found on Marshall's JMP 1 preamp. A front-panel output mute switch allows silent recording when you're using the XLR direct out. Two parallel effects loops are provided, each with its own level switch. Loop A operates on all channels when used by itself. However, when loop B is selected (for the crunch and lead channels), loop A is active on the clean channel only.
The TSL sports a heavy-duty, welded-steel chassis and tidy construction under the hood. Multiple PC boards grip most of the circuit components (including the 4 preamp tubes), and the sockets for the 4 Svetlana EL34s are mounted on a separate subchassis.
