DSL5CR Combo

Product Information

The DSL5 Combo is loaded with a 10” Celestion Ten-30 speaker chosen for its ability to deliver exceptional tone at lower volumes. For the DSL5CR Marshall have crammed that distinct DSL tone into a versatile and powerful 5 Watt combo amp. Featuring an all-valve signal path with two distinct channels (Classic and Ultra Gain), the DSL5CR is a powerhouse that's perfect for recording, rehearsing, and since you can disengage the onboard speaker and plug a 16 Ohm speaker cabinet into it, even live performances! Unlike the previous-generation DSL5C, this new one has reverb (thus the R), which is great if you don't feel like dealing with pedals and improves its portability, and it also has separate gain and master volume for the clean channel, making that channel genuinely useful. The high-gain channel goes from crunchy to metal. It's quite loud at 5 watts but you can switch it to 0.5 watts, which will let you turn the volume up to 5 or more without bothering other people in your household or building. But as I've said, it's only close to perfection, because it doesn't do breakup, like at all, even when you crank up the master it's just more punchy. Sometimes the bass is overwhelming and to loose, the foot switch has a fx loop on/off and nothing for reverb which is absurd and the emulated output is bad (andertones have it in their video)

Trusted Shops The DSL5CR is a 5W 1x10" valve combo with digital reverb; building on the tried-and-tested DSL formula, this compact combo delivers great valve sound at low levels but responds with analogue warmth when pushed! It's loaded with a single 10" Celestion Ten-30 speaker for a smooth, accurate response. You've got two channels at your disposal: classic gain and ultra gain, both of which do exactly what they say on the tin! The classic gain is warm but clear with two controls (gain and volume), and extremely responsive to adjustments, whereas the ultra gain allows you to tip into that full-pelt Marshall distortion that's so widely adored. Marshall's partnership with Softube® has led to the creation of award-winning plug-ins, as well as exceptional tone in Marshall's CODE digital amps. The same team is responsible for the development of the new emulated output feature, found in the DSL series. Both the headphone out, and line out on the DSL models boast incredibly accurate emulation of the famed 1960 cabinet.

General

This amp isn't perfect, that needs to be made clear. The gain levels between the "Classic Gain" and "Ultra Gain" channel's is ridiculously different in as much as the Classic has almost no gain at all even turned all the way up and the Ultra Gain takes a bit of tweaking to get the gain low enough, though it smooths out considerably when the speaker breaks in. The clean channel is very nice, goes from mild, jazzy tones to crunchy stuff with that classic Marshall ring to it. Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.

Whether it's bright, clean sounds you're after, creamy overdriven tones, or super-saturated distortion, the DSL5CR has got you covered. Each channel has individual Gain and Volume controls, and share the powerful 3-band EQ, allowing you to sculpt the perfect tone with ease. Not only that, but the fabulous Deep Switch control from previous DSL models is still present, and there's even a Low/High power switch for you to alter the amp's output (from 5 Watts to 2.5 Watts), giving you even more sonic possibilities. This thing can easily do live gigs (seeing how nowadays, most engineers mic up the amps), rehearsals (if your drummer is not crazy loud) and even recording.The DSL5CR features two foot switchable channels: CLASSIC GAIN and ULTRA GAIN. The CLASSIC GAIN channel can deliver sparkling clean sounds through to the more aggressive break-up of a Marshall JCM800 amplifier. The ULTRA GAIN channel provides even more distortion and break-up for players looking high gain tone from their amplifier. When I first took the amp out and was trying it out I was getting sudden drop outs of my signal, I just pushed all the tubes up as snug as they would go and that seems to have fixed the problem; I blame fedex for that one. The DSL5C features professional quality digital REVERB and a series FX LOOP. The LOW POWER function adds a further dimension to the DSL sound, giving you rich valve tone at an ear-friendly volume. However, the Classic Gain channel takes pedals extremely well and goes from clean to scream with a wide variety of dirt boxes, and the Ultra Gain, as stated before, smooths put considerably when the speaker is broken in. It gets all the Marshall sounds I could ever want to get, and the digital reverb is very usable at all levels.
