The next generation of the Marshall DSL series has arrived! These DSL amps are laden with Marshall tone, features and functionality for the novice, as well as pros performing on the world’s biggest stages. The DSL series includes the following updated features:

Adjustable Power Output
The DSL models feature adjustable power settings, which delivers all-valve tone and feel, at any volume, from bedroom to stage. This technology adjusts power to the valves, instead of just turning off valve stages, allowing the amp to remain articulate and dynamic.

EQ Refinements
Some innovative tweaks to the EQ circuitry have given the new DSLs even greater tonal flexibility. The EQ section of the new DSLs can deliver exactly what your ears are looking for.

Emulated Output
Marshall's partnership with Softube has led to the creation of award-winning plug-ins, as well as exceptional tone in its 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 Marshall's famed 1960 cabinet.

Reverb, Resonance and Master Volume
The DSL is now more versatile than ever, with features including discrete master volume controls for each channel, built-in reverb and resonance controls (the DSL1 and DSL5 do not offer resonance controls).

New Models
Additions to the range include the DSL1 head and combos, which offer all-valve Marshall DSL tone in a smaller package, plus a DSL20 combo and head.

Practice amp perfection

First off I want everyone to know this comes with a footswitch! What? Yes! This little nugget has an effects loop too. What? Yes! ....Oh yeah two channels of delicious Marshall flavor. (no joke) The DSL1 head sounds amazing through my 112 cabinet. If your looking for a home practice amp, this is it. Mic it or run a line to the P/A, and it could be band equipment. Yes, go ahead and laugh. Marshall may have perfected the small tube amp. I am absolutely amazed. I have to giggle every time I turn it on. I have owned many amps, and I can tell you this is money well spent. Major props to Marshall on this.

    I'm blown away by how good this little amp sounds. I was a bit hesitant to buy it since it does not have the presence setting but I'm able to dial in great Marshall tone without it and so this thing has everything I needed. It's way way better that I expected!

    I'm an old retired musician and just needed something to play at home that wasn't insanely powerful.

    This is an amazing little amp. I turn it up about half way and it's plenty loud. Sounds great in both clean and high gain channels. The only thing I would add would be the ability to connect more than one cab to it and it would have been nice to have more than one 16ohm option. But really it's worth every penny and that awesome Marshall crunch. Very happy with the DSL line.

    Great amp. Love the fact that you can use on low power in the living room and just let it rip. Great sounding and you can still get that great Marshall saturation. Way to go Marshall !!!

    i have a 2x12 peavy cab and the mono input is 8 ohm, stereo is 16. So it looks like i cant run this head with this cab.
