Forgot to mention that I read that presence and resonance are on the power section of the amp. Not the preamp that the other EQ knobs like bass, middle, treble control.
That is very strange, and regrettable. Sorry to hear you had such a streak of bad luck. I hope you can resolve the hiss problems.@Antmax , thank you for testing this with your DSL20.
So i will keep it now. Maybe if you are able to check, did your Emulated Out also Crackle and Hiss with Headphones while the DSL is in Standby?
@Seventh Son , yes a fair amount of Hiss i would accept, but the last three where unplayable
My emulated out doesn't (nor didn't) crackle or hiss, but I have that issue where the volume knob doesn't properly control it.
Again, I believe this was exclusive to the early builds, and Marshall has addressed it in subsequent builds.
Do the newer versions still have issues or have they stayed the same....Hit or Miss?
This is some crazy stuff! There are guys that have gone through 3 or 4 different Dsl20s, only to keep the last one they received even though they’re not happy with it,.....but they keep it for fear of the next one being worse!!
I think at some point, maybe two amps, I’d pay the extra $150 and get a Dsl40. It has more options and the build quality seems to be better.
I will keep this one. again, it has still a hiss(but quieter) but i dont like combos...i only buy heads. so there are no any other options and i wanted a new toy ^^
in the next two weeks i will swap the tubes, maybe there will be a change with the hiss, but i cant believe that 4 DSL have bad tubes.
Yup I get that,.....actually a Dsl40hr would be pretty cool!If you don't mind a combo then the 40 is a no brainer. I had enough of combos and wanted a smaller size head I could put on a vertical 2x12, out of reach of my three pug dogs. they occasionally chew on knobs. Otherwise I would have gotten one of those.
