Or, perhaps a more appropriate question would be 'how close' can a DSL get to sounding like a Super Lead Plexi???

If you mean EVH Plexi tones then there's more to it than simply setting a DSL to resemble a Plexi. As many have memtioned, the Plexis have no Master Volume and Gain or pre amp control so pushing the output section is a must. It will be very loud!
Try some of the mentioned methods and play that bad boy!
You mention pushing the output tubes. There is a huge difference...for the better...when I use an attenuator to push the output tubes. It's a different amp.
Do you mean using an attenuator with a DSL? I've always wondered if I needed one for my DSL50. The consensus seems to be mixed.
*Edit- Just read your prior post. Seems it works great for you
As you probably already know, attenuators themselves can be very expensive. I don't have a very expensive attenuator so I am a bit cautious with it. I don't max out the attenuator...I put it about midway...and the sonic differences of the amp are very noticeable.
Nice How is the noise? Is there a lot added when you use the attenuator vs not?

Most Marshalls sound "similar", especially when recorded. The differences are mostly in how they respond to your guitar(s) and playing. I can make my DSL100 sound "similar" to my 1959RI, but it's a much stiffer playing amp and does not react to my playing the same as the 1959RI. This is not specific to the DSL100. In general, master volume amps just react differently than non master volume amps.
