    The Official Marshall DSL40c Information Thread

    Well, a few weeks earlier I decided to try 34.5 power tube bias setting. Sounds more natural/perfect match as in you hear more guitar.

    Is the Dsl 40c new, do you still use the stock tubes, have you biased the amp? check your overall settings. Doug's tubes has a really nice set of 4 preamp tubes designed for the 40c I use in mine. Talk to Doug!

    A lot of folks like the nos tubes but, most any tube should give you somewhat of a desirable tone (roll tubes). You say you are diming the gain on all channels, I find diming the gain will overload or give too much low end. Try the gain setting at 3 or 7. The Dsl40c has a decent clip circuit...

    Probably a bad tube but, check all connections and when changing out tubes use Deoxit D5 or a similar Deoxit product to clean sockets as sockets can sometimes be dowty (dirty). Good stuff mon!

    I biased the amp to 34.5 giving it a try and it sounded cleaner, more natural guitar sounding, a keeper for now!

    Maybe some other's can chime in on this but, I use JJ from Eurotubes EL34's, E34L's and not EL34's give a punchier, more aggressive sound. Tad power tubes can do the job as well!

    This happened a little over a year ago. I switched out bad power tubes for good and this fixed the problem (and of course biased). I also switched out the preamp tubes as some were sketchy. Good Luck!

    Could be a preamp tube, but if you have a spare set of power tubes change them and bias. This sounds like a power tube issue I have dealt with before. Snap, crackle and pop no pun intended.

    Now that's better than a cracked window with the Marshall on 10 w/cabs!

    Well, might try something a little higher than the 70/80 soon. Link to variety, Wizard sounds decent.

    I have the 70/80 in a closed back mx112 ext. cab purchased last Oct. Played decent out of box (closed cab). Compared to my barely broken in Celestion Vintage 30 in amp it seems to be lacking that fuller audio spectrum the V has, but they both sound good in the blend. Left ear, right ear!

    Rlowe: As an addendum: just a little everyday common sense is all that should be required. I tried 100% mineral oil works good, but enough of this topic!

    Emailed Marshall a few days ago and this is the reply they gave to me concerning the faceplate: USMC - Marshall Service <marshall.service@USMusicCorp.com> Hello, We would recommend using rubbing alcohol or Windex. Be very careful of the print on the faceplate so you don’t remove it as well...

    I have a Archer red knob which is the closest pedal you can get to the Klon. The Archer was designed by one of the original Klon designer's. It has a lot of pep, and treble much loud compared to my Rothwell Hellbender which gives a darker yet even eq'd Overdrive sound. I have never tried the...
