Hello all,
I'm new here and I believe I looked through all the DSL15 threads so I apologize if this has been answered previously..
I recently purchased the 15H and I quite like it but wasn't overly impressed with the red gain channel. A little too fizzy too fast.
I checked the tubes and the bias and it was all excellent which is nice.
I did a bit of searching and came across this forum and found a few mods (snip a cap and a resistor here and there, adjust some values etc), I dia few of them and there was a noticeable difference which was quite nice to hear.
of course upon opening the chassis I noticed a few things (which are totally understandable at the price tag), super cheap Chinese caps was the first one that stood out to me ... also a fairly simple upgrade.
That said, finding a parts list and or schematic for this thing is proving to be nearly impossible. I know I can measure and read codes by looking at the board but I'm far too lazy to do that without reaching out to someone else for advice first ( I mean if someone else has already done the work for me ....)
Does any one have this information available?
I expect nicer components will make a world of difference.
Next step is to look for some nicer irons and see how that goes.
For the price of these amps they are soooooooo worth modding and upgrading.
