    DSL parts sourcing

    Re: DSL parts sourcing - HELP PLEASE I'm trying to gather the part numbers for the resistors etc for the Joey Mods. To order the parts from Digikey or Mouser, - there's a lot more information required on their sites. Example, in the Joey Mods it says: "Change out the Grid Blockers on the...

    Amp Technician Rates?

    Can someone please post a checklist of things that an amp tech would include in a thorough inspection? I know they check voltages, (and other stuff) but for the JCM 2000 - DSL 100 (if used) can someone list the specific things I should ask for to see what shape the amp is actually in? And...

    ClassicTone Transformers By Magnetic Components *Sponsor*

    I listened to each clip, very carefully. Expecting that all things would be the same for each clip, I then listened only to the first A chord of each clip, many times. Not sure if Curt picked harder in one clip over another, but I found the the clip I liked the best over most, was the Heyboer -...

    ClassicTone Transformers By Magnetic Components *Sponsor*

    I think you sold me. It's hard for a non technical person like me to sift through all the "stuff". I have read that OT's and chokes can impact tone significantly, at least enough to be heard. I'm sure they're top notch. I know one guy who says he's replaced 3 OT's in his Marshall's to Mercury...

    ClassicTone Transformers By Magnetic Components *Sponsor*

    Help please with OT and choke choices. I'm soon to be the owner of 2008, JCM 2000 DSL 100. I'm not in any rush to replace anything inside the amp. But over a few months might opt for a new OT and choke. Question: What sets apart upgrade replacement OT's from one another? Example, there are...

    Marshall DSL 50/100 Clean/Crunch Footswitch - at last!

    een7gdr.. very cool. I don't actually have the DSL 100 in my possession yet - soon. I can't believe Marshall missed this. As if players would never want to switch from clean to crunch - and maintain the same volume levels - that's dummy obvious. Now, because I don't own one yet, I haven't even...

    I should have written just one post for all 3 of you. This is turning into typing class in grade 9 all over again! There really is so much good music. Here's one off the cuff... I always loved Lindsey Buckingham's playing style. It's not hard rock format, but the melody and arrangements that...

    Plexifier... Yeah, to be honest, I'm really not that good enough to justify owning that kind of amp. I'm not in an AC/DC cover band, I don't even play live - ever. I just wanted that tone to play along to those albums in my basement when I get the urge. To friend's of mine, it's nuts. But I...

    Re: DSL & 2203 compared... KEN... Ricky, such is the human condition... I'm actually a drummer. I "HACK" my way with rhythm, riffs and chords - I can play with good feel and timing, and I can nail Malcolm's feel. I've been mocked and laughed at by someone in another forum because I don't have...

    I really liked that lead tone in the second video. It sounds almost Joe Perry-esque to me. Like something from the Permanent Vacation album. A bit like Slash's lead tone too. In that context yes, it does sound good. In my case, because I'm such a linear straight forward rhythm player, I don't...

    DSL & 2203 compared...

    JCM - I tried a tiny terror last year. It didn't do it for me. It just didn't have that honk. It sounded tinny and kind of... gainy, but no real personality. Now of course they have the dark terror. Man, if you can get your hands on an OR 120 - that is a keeper. I'm sure you've seen them in...

    JCM, yeah, I think I'll do the same. My next thing over the year, will be to source all the parts, OT, power transformer etc for the OR 120. I'd love to get all the parts, (I have the OR 120 1970's schematic) and get my friend to help me wire the thing. I have to have one of these. Just like a...

    Re: DSL & 2203 compared...Women's Shoes... That's too funny. Only she's not that into shopping. She's very practical that way. I was half kidding anyway. I told her about the amp again today, and she gets it. It's all in the pitch! Interesting segue here. Today I went to a local used music...

    Re: DSL & 2203 compared... KEN... Ken, I think you're bang on there. It's so completely reasonable to me, but not my wife! She thinks I'm nuts. "You're going to sell the 2nd amp you've bought for yet another one? When will it be ENOUGH?" I've been through one VM 50 watt, thought it was the...

    Good to know JCM, I'm just going to make the plunge. I mean it's a 2007 - that's not very old. And it sounded really good. I'll just stick with that. I'm going to put more money on it in a few days. But I have to get the guy to drop the taxes. Our HST (Harmony Sales Tax) in Canada is a joke -...

    Thanks to all for the input. I do get the impression the DSL is a fairly robust and worthy amp. Also, I probably shouldn't read everything I come across, but I found this article http://www.lynx.bc.ca/~jc/TSL122.html. "JC" goes on to explain that "in all JCM2000's so far (TSL's, DSL's) I've...

    DSL & 2203 compared...

    Here goes. I'm interested in buying a used DSL 100 I played through last week. I loved the sound I got - strictly on the clean & crunch channel. I'll NEVER need to use the red channel. However popular these amps are, they are constructed with PCB's and many agree not as simple and robust as the...

    Jcm 2000 dsl-100

    Frankie, that's what I was told. But finding one that will sound like this DSL, hmmm, where to start. There are 2 JCM 800's for sale not far from me, but both are 2010's. It sounds backwards doesn't it, saying "I want a JCM 800 that sounds as good as this 07' DSL". What model of JCM 800...
