The DSL1 Head has the classic Marshall tone and features expected from a DSL but at a lower power to suit those who play at home. The DSL sound has been perfectly crafted to suit those with eclectic tastes, looking for tonal experimentation. Designed and engineered in the UK, this compact and portable head is the ultimate solution for capturing legendary valve saturation without the high volume.
Product Description
Pure Valve Power: An all-valve design powered by two ECC83 preamp valves and one ECC82 power amp valve, delivering the authentic feel and response of a full-sized Marshall stack.
Two Gain Channels: Features two footswitchable channels—Classic Gain and Ultra Gain. This allows you to move instantly from sparkling cleans to the heavy, aggressive distortion the DSL series is famous for.
Adaptive Power Levels: Engineered for the home environment, you can drop from 1W to 0.1W at the flick of a switch, allowing you to push the valves for rich tone at whisper-quiet levels.
Tonal Versatility: Includes a Tone Shift switch for mid-scooped modern metal textures and a dedicated Digital Reverb to add professional depth to your sound.
Pro Features in a Mini Head: Equipped with a series effects loop for your pedalboard and a high-quality 3.5mm emulated line out for silent recording or practice.
Key Features
