DSL40C Tube upgrade

Thought I'd just post an recent upgrade of mine worth mentioning. I was getting a faint "crackling" sound from my amp since new which in no way affected the sound once I started playing. I decided to upgrade the tubes with a recommendation from numerous sources, especially MartyStrat. For V1 I went ...

Re: What speaker are you using in your DSL40C?

Eminence Wizard........Outstanding. I had a Cannabis Rex which was really sweet but decided to try out a Wizard and was blown away by the sound. Match made in heaven for the DSL40C.

Re: DSL40C....8ohm.....power loss?

Great to hear about the swap..........Yea, I think Marshall cut some corners with their speaker choice...not necessarily a bad thing to keep the cost down. But you are right, DSL40 owners can instantly better their amp with a speaker swap...... mine digs deeper as well.

Thanks,

Tom

Re: DSL40C....8ohm.....power loss?

I have no experience with the Veteran 30......but the speaker switch to the Eminence Cannabis Rex was justified by a wide margin. It tightened up the bottom end nicely with no high-end shrill vs. the stock speaker. It did the same with my Fender Blues Jr. as well. Where are you located? I bought min...

Re: DSL40C....8ohm.....power loss?

Wow!...what a difference the Cannabis Rex made! The 70/80 speaker, while not too bad, is not up to snuff for this amps potential. The Rex allows all channels to shine so far. The 70/80 is a cheaply-made speaker....no heft to it (in my opinion) and looks poorly made. On the other hand, the Rex is sup...

Re: DSL40C....8ohm.....power loss?

Hi...thanks for the response. Marshall service states no problem with the 8ohm switch as the DSL40 can handle the rating. If anything, the 8ohm swap will sound louder. Their response: "Thanks for your request. This model can operate at 8 ohms. You would have to move the speaker cable from the 16 ohm...

DSL40C....8ohm.....power loss?

Hi guys, I have a DSL40C...I want to swap out the stock speaker with a Cannabis Rex which really shined in my Fender Blues JR amp. It is an 8-ohm model and I know the DSL40 can handle the switch by adjusting the speaker input on the back of the cabinet..... but will I lose any output/volume by not i...
