The DSL Series – a revered tonal heritage
The Marshall DSL15C hails from a revered lineage. Marshall introduced the JCM2000 Dual Super Lead (DSL) series amps in 1997. Right from the get-go, these all-tube monsters enjoyed enthusiastic approval by guitarists and the press alike, forming the backlines of top acts in all musical genres and bludgeoning audiences worldwide for a decade before being replaced by Marshall’s JVM series (a musical powerhouse in its own right). Considered the go-to rock amp by many tone-savvy guitarists, there is considerable demand for Dual Super Leads. Marshall hears you, and is proud to introduce the new-and-improved DSL series.
A 15-watt tone beastMarshall’s DSL15C is an all-tube, twin-channel tone machine capable of conjuring any classic Marshall sound – past or present. Four ECC83s in the preamp section (in concert with the amp’s gain/master volume arrangement) give you stunning tone-shaping mojo, and with two 6V6s power tubes, you’ve got power that’s ideal for everything from the studio to the bedroom. Sporting the same feature set as the original DSL100, Marshall has gone on to fit this little monster with critical upgrades that give you even more control over your sound. You still get a deep switch for defining low-end girth, but you also get studio-grade digital reverb (instead of spring), a rear-panel pentode/triode switch that halves the amp’s power to a bedroom-friendly 7.5 watts. Marshall’s even included a 2-way footswitch for channel switching and reverb on/off.
Two channels and all the trimmingsThe Marshall DSL15C sports two footswitchable channels: classic gain and ultra gain. With the DSL15C, you can go from glassy Plexi-esque cleans, to JCM800-style snarl, to hot-mod 2203, to face-melting high gain – and everything in-between. To shape all this delectable Marshall tone, you get flexible shared 4-way EQ (treble, middle, bass, and presence) juiced with the thoughtful inclusion of a tone shift button – ideal for scooped modern metal mojo. The DSL15C is ready to rock. Are you?
