Marshall DSL100HR ‎Guitar Amplifier Head User Manual

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of this Dual Super Lead (DSL) amplifier from Marshall Amplification. The DSL provides the legendary Marshall tone, allowing you to express your distinct playing style and attitude. Your DSL amplifier has been designed specifically for those who need the full rich tone of a valve amp. This makes the amp ideal for a live environment, studio or at home thanks to the power reduction system. We hope you enjoy performing, practicing and recording with your DSL amplifier

OVERVIEW

• The DSL 100 Head and 40 Combo feature the same functions.
• The DSL features two foot switchable channels: CLASSIC GAIN and ULTRA GAIN. The CLASSIC GAIN channel delivers sparkling clean sounds through to the more aggressive break-up of a Marshall JCM800 amplifier.
• Both channels share a passive three-band EQ, with BASS, MIDDLE and TREBLE controls. The EQ section also features Tone Shift, which when activated reconfigures the pre-amp mid frequencies making DSL ideal for contemporary metal tones, especially when combined with higher gain settings.
• The DSL features professional quality digital REVERB and a series FX LOOP.
• For the most demanding players, the DSL 40 Combo and DSL 100 Head feature MIDI compatibility meaning outboard MIDI equipment can access all the features needed to perform
