DSL - What Channels do you use most often.

[ics1974]

What channel(s) do you use the most?
Sorry I fat fingered Green -Crunch in the poll options and can't fix it.

 

[DSL100 Dude]

I have found a use for each setting on both channels. Now if it was what channel/setting for any given gig or style of music then I could narrow it down.

I only don't use lead 2; it's too much compression for me but I think that's the point of the mode. I love both green modes to sharpen my playing skills, although I'm usually on the red with no button with the band.

red lead 1 is a masterpiece

the rest are good to have if i ever didnt want to make metal i guess

Green Clean and volume up at guitar knob + Gibson with 57 Classic humbs. Just about the sound I like..

 

[IbanezMark]

The Green Crunch rocks my socks

Im digging lead2 with gain rolled back to 7. Loosens up the compression yet maintains killer sustain.

 

[Georgiatec]

Green crunch for most rhythm parts, gain at 3 o clock, vol. 4-5, turn down guitar for cleans. Red 1 (button out) for leads, gain at noon vol 5, kick in the TC Flashback Delay and it just soars. Great, great amp.

Lot's of love for the Red lead 1. I find my Gibson Explorer loves the Red lead 1 but my Fender Strat loves both the green channels.

Crunchy green. Gain on 7 volume 2.5-4. Overdrive pedal to tighten it up. I will use red for some a lead boost and some heavier songs if needed.

 

[Ken]

Wow...so many different settings in the replies! Just goes to show how versitile a DSL is I guess. You can buy it for the low gain cleans or buy it for the metal overdrive...or buy it for both! I LOVE playing the green in 'clean' with the gain on 2 at home. And with the band I live in the red on lead 1 and the gain on 6 and volume on 3-4. Go figure...

Red 1 for me...fucking love it.

 

[diesect20022000]

mine didn't have any Grenn channels I missed out.

anyway i use green2 and lead1.

boosted.

800ish and modern metal with a boost. sexy.

Now i'm on to other models/series in the marshall catologue however

 

[ESPVH]

It all depends on the type of music, I was addicted to red but couldn't get a close 1984 VH sound that I can now with the green, pushed by a SD-1.

 

[All4Tone]

I use red 1 mostly, but it really depends on the guitar & what I'm playing. When I plug in & want instant gratification, red 1 can git'er done...

 

[ics1974]

Actually since snipping the C12 cap on the front board I am not really caring for the green crunch channel as much because the lead 1 is so improved now. The clean channel sounds great and the lead 1 is amazing. I think I might just keep mine clean and dirty.

I have heard alot of various descriptions of tone however you broke the mold with the use of the word "sexy" to describe a sound...LOL!

so do you think something went wrong in the mod and its affecting the green crunch channel?
did you bump anything while u were in there maybe?

No nothing like that. The mod made the red lead 1 so good that I don't really have much use of the green crunch anymore. I think because the C12 snipped makes the read channel sound closer to the green channel.
This is a good thing.

ok cool glad it wasnt amp problem

i cant ever use the green channel, it just sounds boggy to me no matter how i adjust the eqs. though once the amp gets really loud the crunch at 5 on the gain is pretty wall pounding.
