Hi everyone - new to this forum but not to Marshall's. Been playing them exclusively for 30+ years. Awesome amps as y'all know!
I play the blues in a semi working band with Les Pauls through a circa 2000 DSl 401 and DSL 201
Here's my current question: Although my 2 stock DSL's sound just fine for the most part, I am not getting a fat enough tone from my high E string. I use the clean channel with a Boss Blues Driver as I don't want a distorted tone. I'm striving for the old Clapton/Bluesbreaker tone and get pretty close with the above exception. It's not the guitars as they are either old LP's or R8's, and the strings are handmade. So, hmmm...
A few years ago I would've thought about getting another amp, but being a Contractor in SoCal in this economy makes that unlikely.....
So , ideas - Any easy, cheap mods that I can try? Or should I just wait until I can get something better, maybe an older combo amp?
Thanks!
