General

Marshall's DSL1CR is a tube guitar amplifier combo with a specially-designed 8-inch Celestion G8E-15 speaker that delivers good bass and well-balanced mids and trebles. It has built-in digital reverb as well and is perfect for practising and recording at home. When you connect it to a mixer using the line output, you'll still be able to enjoy its great tube sound thanks to the built-in cabinet simulation.

DSL1CR: tubes and sounds

The two ECC83 preamp tubes and the single ECC82 power amp tube ensure a warm, full Marshall sound. The classic gain channel gives you a clean tone as well as average distortion with a 'brown' character. The ultra gain channel offers even more distortion and you can easily switch between the channels using the included footswitch. Both channels share bass, middle, treble and reverb controls that allow you to tweak your tone to perfection.

Unbelievable

This amp is absolutely perfect for playing at home but dont think its just some cheap practise amp. I have owned many Marshalls (some at 5x the price of this one) but this sounds as good if not better than any of them. I have never been a fan of the Marshall clean sound but this sounds a bit warmer than usual and I love the clean sound on this little thing. Also the partially open back makes this amp sound huge despite its tiny size.

A massive bonus for me was the FX loop. Never seen an FX loop on a 1 watt amp in my life but have been wanting it for ages. I only play at home and need a low power amp as anything over 1 watt is too loud to crank the volume to get proper valve breakup. This goes down to 0.1 watt which is great for bedroom use. Ive had other Marshalls which go this low but this amp outdoes them all. The EQ is great. You t is shared between both channels but it is a proper EQ. Again I have had other DSL Amos and never liked the high gain sound as it had a fizzy sound that always sat over the main sound (was in a jar) but this does not happen in these new DSLs. They are just brilliant. The only downside, if I can really call it a downside is the built in reverb isnt the best. But as the amp has an FX loop everyone is just going to run a decent reverb in the loop so it really doesnt matter. The built in reverb is better than nothing and will do fine until you get yourself a good pedal. Oh the amp also comes with a foot switch to change between clean and ultra gain channels. The ultra gain channel has loads of gain and even though I probably wont use it that much it sounds awesome. Honestly I cannot believe how good this amp is. If you are after a low wattage amp that does it all, look no further, youve found it.

Perfecte oefen-amp voor thuis. Wel het "echte" Marshall buizen geluid, maar met een beperkt volume! Ik ben iig fan van de 0.1W instelling. Mijn buren denk ik ook..

Ik heb deze versterker gekocht omdat ik iets voor thuis zocht en de DSL5CR mij teveel leek. Het geluid is echter een stuk slechter dan de DSL5CR. Dit komt waarschijnlijk vooral door de kleinere speaker. Erg zonde eigenlijk van een mooie buizen bak. Ik denk dat de DSL1 head met een losse speaker een stuk beter zal klinken. Ik heb de DSL1CR teruggestuurd en een DSL5CR gekocht. Hier ben ik super blij mee. Qua volume zit er ook niet zoveel verschil in.

Wat ik wel leuk vond aan de DSL1 is dat het clean kanaal vrij snel breekt waarmee je leuke crunch geluiden krijgt.

Heb deze versterker inmiddels een week in huis en ben positief verrast! Ik speel op een AC30, maar zocht er een versterker bij voor het spelen in huis en om te oefenen zonder koptelefoon, maar wel met het buizen gevoel. Dat is met deze Marshall gelukt! De classic gain channel is helder, mooi clean en na 12:00 wordt het geluid vol en krijgt het een randje. Vol open gedraaid is dit kanaal instant rock. Ultra Channel gaat een stukje verder en geeft een vette overdrive tot dikke distortion. Er zit verder nog digitale Reverb op en deze is prima. Gebruik de versterker niet echt op de 0.1 watt, maar deze klinkt prima in mijn oren. Kortom heerlijke Marshall klanken uit deze versterker!
