2018 Dsl 40cr Full Review...

[ken361]

400 is pretty to low for a 40 dsl, my 40 c is at around 480 32 bias runs great at 60% Not all amps should run hot the dsl with mostly preamp distortion runs best at 60. Now the new maybe different. They sounded similar at the store at low levels

Did you use bias probes or the test points? That sounds about right (25 / 480 = 52 or so ma x .6 = 31ma per tube or so)

maybe new power tubes it might go higher on yours?

 

[brianwrym1979]

Sounds about right doing the math... I guess thats my issue, the plate voltage isnt high enough.. or I need the amp to be modded to allow more bias current. I have the 40CR

Yea I could try that, I have a stock pile of them as backups to my 100 watters....

I just got my DSL 40CR w/the 2 Masters. How do you 'assign' them? I've run the Channel Vols at 10 and used the masters for overall vol and had both masters on 10 and used the channel vols for overall vol. Which one drives the power amps the masters or the channel volumes? I really am not following how one 'assigns' the masters. Thanks.

It’s easy. Whichever one you select for a channel the amp remembers it. Same goes for the effects loop.

So how do I 'select' or 'assign' it? How do I make the left one the crunch and right on the OD? Right now it's the opposite or so it seems and there is nothing in the manual. Thanks

If you are on the crunch channel...push the button on the far right for whichever master you want to use. Then switch to the ultra channel and do the same.

It will remember which one you last chose.

Make sense?

Doesn't remember effects loop if using foot switch

I didn’t know that. I use midi

 

[kingbee]

What would be a good midi controller?

 

[Shane1353]

The button on the far right turns the effects loop off/on.

Click the button for the masters

I use an FX8. But any midi controller would work. The amp has simple commands.

 

[kingbee]

Would the boss es-5 work for this? Would be cool to select whatever pedal I want at the same time.
