Powerful all-tube combo amp

Just like the regular version, the black special edition Marshall DSL40CR BLK boasts two channels, each with two different voicings. The sound of Channel 1 ranges from clean to crunch, while Channel 2 has two different overdrive options which provide a wide spectrum of distorted sounds. The amp is equipped with many useful extra features, including an emulated line out for direct recording, an audio input for playing back music from external sources, on-board digital reverb, and an effects loop which allows additional effects to be integrated. The three-band EQ has been upgraded to enhance its effectiveness, while the Tone Shift switch allows modern scooped sounds to be dialled in. Extra signal processing options are provided by the Presence and Resonance controls, which further shape the sound of the 40-watt power stage and its two EL34s. The result is clearly audible through the 12-inch Celestion V-Type speaker, which delivers outstanding definition and presence throughout the entire sound spectrum.

Genuine Marshall sound and more

The preamp stage of the Marshall DSL40CR BLK is equipped with four ECC83 tubes and its two channels can be selected either via the front panel, the footswitch that comes included, or MIDI. The sound of Channel 1 (Classic Gain) ranges from shimmering clean through to a pleasantly dynamic breakup, while Channel 2 (Ultra Gain) covers everything from sizzling crunch to high-gain lead. Both channels have their own volume and master volume controls and share an effective three-band EQ, while the Presence and Resonance controls allow precise shaping of the power stage’s tonal response. The on-board reverb is also independently adjustable for each channel. In addition to the effects loop, the MIDI connection, audio input, and footswitch connection, the DSL40CR also features an Emulated Out. Last but not least, five speaker outputs are present which allow various combinations of 4, 8, and 16-Ohm speaker cabinets to be connected – should you require that extra power boost.

A no-compromise Marshall combo

If you love the real Marshall sound, you will definitely love the DSL40CR Black. This stalwart combo delivers Marshall’s classic all-tube sound and is equally suited to the rehearsal room, the stage, or the recording studio. The amp’s output power can be reduced from 40 to 20 watts and can thus be adapted to many applications, while its extensive features, such as the two channels with four different voicing options, high-quality digital reverb, effects loop, and cab-emulating direct/headphone output, make the Marshall DSL40CR a go-to amp for any guitarist looking for an extremely flexible, versatile, and powerful tube combo.

About Marshall

Marshall, the manufacturer from Milton Keynes in Great Britain, is an indispensable figure in the world of electric guitar. The tube amplifiers of company founder Jim Marshall († 2012) have been writing Rock music history since 1962 with names like Pete Townshend, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Clapton. The classics of the JTM, JMP, and JCM 800 series are still highly sought-after today, as they shaped the sound of overdriven and distorted electric guitar more than any other product. To this day, the combination of the amp and 4x12" cabinet - the "Marshall stack" - is synonymous with the energy and power of the Rock music genre. Alongside these landmark achievements, however, Marshall has always kept its finger on the pulse of the times and a close eye on the needs of up-and-coming musicians.

Versatile Marshall sounds

With its 40-watt power stage and 12-inch Celestion speaker, the Marshall DSL40CR BLK can be used at home, in the rehearsal room, on stage, and above all as a hassle-free recording companion in the studio. Its Emulated Out features cab simulation developed by the specialists at Softube which allows the full dynamic range of the classic Marshall sound to be captured on computer without the need for complex miking. The Marshall DSL40CR BLK is a limited black edition of the famous amp. With only 500 pieces made it's definitely something special.

Amazing and beautiful
Jonesey40 27.09.2024
After owning the first dsl40c twice before, this is a keeper. Even better with both the mixed vintage and modern marshall look. This amp actually looks better in real life than the pictures. It really gives you everything which you can ask from a Marshall.

Bei der Bandprobe save der lauteste!

Hallo, ich war auf der Suche nach einem Marshall Verstärker, den man auch zu Hause spielen kann, der ordentlich bottom end hat, auch bei niedrigen Lautstärken und der noch ein paar extra Features an Board hat. Wenn man unter 700 Euro bleiben will und Bock auf EL34 Röhren hat landet man zwangsläufig bei der DSL Reihe. Vielleicht besonders interessant für Gitarren-Virtuosen, die noch keine große Ansammlung an Amps zu Hause rumstehen haben. (Anfänger sollten sich den DSL 5 anschauen, der DSL20 hat mich nicht überzeugt)

Was gefällt mir?

- Limited Run Optik und Verarbeitung sind für den Preis grandios
- ordentlich bottom end und detailliertes breakup in den Höhen
- viele Features, 4 Gainvariationen, Sound über Kopfhörer bzw. Boxen Simulation hört sich fett an.

Was gefällt mir oder anderen vielleicht nicht so gut? (Unter Betrachtung des Preises?

-Der Celestion V-Typ Speaker hört sich für mich in den Höhen zeitweise sehr schrill an, erinnert mich an den Celestion Seventy 80. Warum da kein V30 Speaker vom Werk eingebaut wird und das ganze Teil 100 Euro teurer wird, verstehe ich zwar nicht, aber kann man ja selber nachrüsten. (Thomann, das wär bei einem Thomann Limited Run AMP doch mal ne coole Idee gewesen, nen V30 oder einen Creamback einzubauen.

-Der Gril CLoth könnte ne Spur hochwertiger sein, sieht aber sauber verarbeitet aus.

Fazit: Für den Preis und dem Wissen, dass es kein in England gefertigter Marshall sondern das Produktionsland Vietnam ist, bekommt man eine Menge Marshall Sound, ohne dass man sich ein 60 Kg Stack in die Wohnung stellen muss.

Meine Kritik bzgl. des einverbauten Speakers schmälert meine Begeisterung für den AMP nicht, weil ich ihn Über ne Orange 2x 12 Closed Cab spiele, Plumes Padel da vor, dann hebt er fast ab und sieht dabei noch gut an.

Liefert von glasklar bis heavy, FX-Loop vielfältig nutzbar.
Oh No 26.09.2024
Ich bin überrascht von den Soundmöglichkeiten und hocherfreut vom glasklaren Sound des Cleankanals. Die Lautstärkedifferenz beim Umschalten von Clean auf Crunch lässt sich durch entsprechende Zuordnung von Master 1 und 2, die dabei automatisch gespeichert werden, gut anpassen. Mit meinem Valeton GP 200 ergeben sich vielfältige Möglichkeiten der Einbindung in den FX-Loop, 4-Kabel-Methode oder nur Nutzung der Endstufe (Amps des Multieffekts aber eben nur mit Marshall CAB, daher in diesem Fall im Multieffekt CAB ausschalten). Für eine Stereoerweiterung könnte man daher z.B. an einen Fender Tonemaster FR10/12 denken, abwarten. Für jemand, der nicht nur voll aufdreht: Wirklich abwechslungsreich. Nicht so schön ist die etwas schwerere Lesbarkeit auf dem schwarzen Frontpanel statt wie sonst auf güldenfarbenem. Dem steht natürlich eine gewisse Gewöhnung und die Besonderheit dieser Ausgabe entgegen.
