Countless hours of R&D and of course listening, went into the creation of the 50 Watt DSL50. DSL is an acronym for 'Dual Super Lead', so it should come as no surprise that this amp has two footswitchable channels - Classic and Ultra. Furthermore, each of these channels boasts two modes: the Classic channel offers a Clean / Crunch option while the Ultra offers Lead 1 or Lead 2. Instead of merely offering a variation in gain level to the two channels, each one of these four modes has been individually voiced as an amp in its own right. The tremendous tonal versatility of this amp, coupled with a 100% pure valve signal path (4x ECC83s, 2x EL34s), Dual Reverb controls, a Tone Shift switch which 'scoops out' the mids and a Deep Switch that adds a tight, bowel loosening, low end boost, caused the guitar world to sit up and take notice right from the outset. As soon as you play one, you'll hear and feel why so many of the world's foremost players and journalists were quick to dub the DSL heads as 'the best Marshalls ever!' It also won't surprise you when you learn that these amps have become the company's best selling all-valve heads to date.
