    The Official Marshall DSL40c Information Thread

    Well you bought the right parts. I did both to mine, along with changing several of the caps for Sprague Orange Drop and Mallory 150. Also did the C19 mod, changed out the tubes, and changed the speaker to a Vintage 30. Let your own ears decide, but I wasn't impressed with the OT, choke, and...

    I like the way those look...kinda wish I had waited out for one! You got a heck of a price on that thing!

    Well tore it open, rewired the MC-401 pot properly so that it increases gain CW, and rewired the AMZ buffer DPDT switch to the same method I used on the MC-401 3PDT switch and the pops went away (don't know why I did it differently...brain fart!), everything works great! All the switching is...

    Thanks! It just seemed like such a waste to have that huge pedal on my board with basically only one usable footswitch, and it only switches between 2 channels without any LED indicator. Seemed like a prime candidate for a custom pedal project. Turned out just about how I imagined. Sure wish...

    Well, I decided to modify my foot switch. Since it is such a big housing for basically a single SPDT foot switch for channel switching, with the reverb switch being mostly useless if you're running a reverb pedal like many people, and since I needed a buffer for my board but have mostly run out...

    I clipped it at first, then went to 100pf, didn't like it, down to 22pf, and I think I'm just going to clip it back out. Sounded better to me. To each their own I suppose. Don't get me wrong, I like the DSL, more so than any of the amps I've listed (in my first post). I just wasn't as awed by...

    Thanks for the compliment. Yeah, I don't think the Mallory/Orange Drop caps and choke did much for the tone. I think I'm going back to no cap in C19 as well, just haven't felt like pulling it apart again. The OT made it louder and increased headroom. I don't find a huge improvement to tone, and...

    Always a good idea to check bias and reseat your tubes. Could be a bad tube. If you got it with the creamback, I assume you bought from Sweetwater? If so, I would contact them, they have great customer service, may be willing to send you some replacement tubes to try. May also try working your...

    I'm not the first to do these mods, earlier in the thread you can find more details about these mods (from Micky, DSMer, MarshallDog, and others), which is where I obtained the inspiration. Both are replacements. The choke replaces R111 (the large white resistor). Both are upgrades to the...
