What qualifies as a decent set?Rumy73 wrote:true but they will not give you a decent setshaun wrote:If it is bad valves/tubes, still take it back. Most retail shops here will have 3 month warranty on the valves. They should/can give you new ones.
Yeah, that is a proper recording from the actual amp. The strange thing is that I bought another one and it sounded almost the same, so I returned that one and sold the first one. Then the other day I bought myself a DSL5C for home practise and there we have that Marshall tone again. No choked signal, it's playable on lower gain settings and it really sings. But of course it has a problem. It produces this hiss/noise even when vol at zero and unplugged. Sounds like an old computer fan.Mats A wrote:If that is the sound comming from the actual amp there must be something wrong with it. I had a DSL100H for a very short while and it sounded nothing like this. In fact it sounded very good with the stock valves and all. If only they had used a normal sized wooden box for it!
This depends. If you set the master high and the gain low you still wont push the Power amp and since the gain is set low you will more likely get a treblier more fizzy tone.Cousin Muely wrote:You may or may not have an issue with your amp. A good tube swap never hurts. All I have is a DSL1 to compare this to but it seems from your settings in your examples you are relying way too much on preamp and not enough power amp. Then on top of that you are boosting this. I have a lot more success by keeping the pre around the 830-1030 o'clock position and the master around 3 o'clock. You get a lot more fullness to the tone by cranking the master. The more master I have going the less pre I feel like I need. This also leaves you room to boost this tone as well and I own that EP Boost and I've used it with my DSL1.
Just a thought.
