Hi,
I'm new to the forum and just purchased a DSL 401 combo amp from my local Sam Ash store. I was looking at the new MA model but liked this one a lot more.
The amp was a floor model and has a serial number of 2004-20 0532-B. I have read other post on the forum stating that the one's made from 2003 and on do not have the heating problems that the older ones had. I have to say this one runs really hot.
This is my first Marshall tube amp so I'm not real knowledgeable about them. I used to have a Fender Blues Jr. and it never got as hot as this amp. I love the tone of this amp especially when I use my Les Paul, but I'm wondering if I should take it back and get something else because of the heat.
Thx
