    DSL40C speaker swap?

    I can say from experience the G12M65 Creamback sounds 1000 times better in the DSL40C than the stock 70/80. However, I had to do the C19 cap mod as well to kill some of the shrill. The issue I have is the softness/flubbiness with the low end. I am considering heavily switching to the G12H75...

    Falling out of love with my DSL40C

    I found the 40C too fizzy also. Here are a few of things you can do to get what you are looking for. The first two are not too expensive. I started cheapest and most effective first and went from there. After the first three Mods my amp sounded fantastic. 1. Remove c19 (Just desolder one...

    I hate my DSL40C

    Have any of you modded the amp using the C19 mod? Try it. It completely changes the character of the "Ultra Gain" Channel so that it matches the EQ of the "Classic" channel. This amp was not spectacular stock, but as I have noted in many other posts with a speaker swap to a Creamback, tube...

    DSL40C preamp tube question

    In mine I found the sweetest tube mix to be JJ ECC803S Gold Pins in V1 and V4, Reissue Mullard 12AX7s in V2 and V3. Normally Gold pins are a marketing gimmick but I found out JJ takes the ECC803S tubes that test in the top 10% for balance and stability and output and select those for the Gold...

    Marshall DSL40C

    I paid more attention to the EQ ratings you can find on different speakers than anything else while I was conducting my search and that seemed to pay off. Figure out what is missing in your situation, EQ wise, and look for something that will boost what you are missing/looking for, be it...

    The Marshall DSL40C is actually really really good... BUT...

    I a running a G12M-65 Creamback 8 ohm in mine and it's the tits for what I play! Recently did some tube rolling and initially I had replaced all of the preamp tubes with JJ ECC803S Gold pins, I left those in V1 and V4 (PI) but in the two gain stages I really like the Mullard Reissue 12AX7s...

    Marshall DSL40C

    Personally I am loving the DSL40C with the Celestion Creamback G12M-65. From the ad copy, but I find it to be 100% accurate: "With its warmth and distinctive growl, the G12M-65 serves up the essence of British guitar tone, with low end grunt complementing its warm mids, crunchy upper-mids...

    Marshall DSL40C

    I have a new one, recently purchased. My observations reflect what many have stated, C19 Must go to reduce the highs on lead side. The amp as it comes stock is just ok. with the following mods, it is now PHENOMENAL! Removed C19 Replaced stock Speaker with Creamback G12M-65 Replaced 12AX7 Tubes...

    You'd be better off with a Weber as it uses a resistive speaker motor as a load, more accurately representing a "speaker" load, and doesn't generate nearly as much heat as a simple resistive load. But read the disclaimers on their site and the proper usage of an attenuator...
