    Marshall Haze or Marshall DSL 401 JCM 2000

    I had a 2004 DSL 401 and it got way too hot, I ended up returning it. Last year I found a brand new 2006 DSL 401 in the box and bought it. It ran warm but nothing like the 2004.

    I paid $700 and they gave me an extra year on the warranty for free. I know I paid more than I should have, but I loved the tone on it.

    DSL 401 question

    Thanks for the info, Sam Ash told me the tubes have not been replaced. So it looks like I will need to do that. Does anyone know a good amp tech in Southern California. I have ran a fan behind it and it cools it down a lot. The amp does have incredible tone and fits my needs perfectly, so I...
