A 40-watt tone beast
Marshall's DSL40CR is a tube-loaded, twin-channel workhorse capable of conjuring an entire arsenal of British-flavored tones. 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 EL34s in the engine room, you have the volume to rule any club in the world. While sporting the same tubes, minus two EL34s, and the same feature set as the original DSL100, this little beast has critical upgrades that give you even more control over your sound, including a Resonance control that lets you dial in your preferred amount of low-end girth, a studio-grade digital reverb, High and Low power settings, and a bypassable rear-panel series effects loop. The Marshall DSL40CR also has a 2-way footswitch for channel switching and reverb on/off.
Softube speaker-emulated output
Marshall has teamed up with software mavens Softube to create exceptional tones in their CODE series of amplifiers, and they've joined forces again on the DSL40CR tube combo amp. Its line output features an accurate emulation of Marshall's iconic 1960 speaker cabinet, allowing you to plug directly into a recording chain with confidence. Guitarists at Sweetwater love flexible recording options, and the Marshall DSL40CR delivers.
The DSL series: a revered tonal heritage
The Marshall DSL40CR tube combo amp hails from a revered lineage. Marshall introduced the JCM2000 Dual Super Lead (DSL) series amps in 1997. From the start, these all-tube monsters enjoyed enthusiastic approval from guitarists and the press alike, forming the backlines of top acts across all musical genres and bludgeoning audiences worldwide for a decade before being replaced by Marshall's JVM series, which is a musical powerhouse in its own right. Considered the go-to rock amp by many tone-savvy guitarists, DSL amps remain in high demand; therefore, Marshall is proud to introduce the new-and-improved DSL series with the DSL40CR.
