I had a Marshall DSL40CR a few years back and would go back and forth between the Classic Gain Red channel and the two Ultra Gain Channels (primarily the Green one though) depending on the song being played.
I sold it to fund other purchases but recently, found myself missing it and wanting something a little more portable for practices than my YJM head and 2x12 cab so I recently purchased another.
That one had issues so I exchanged it for what have now.
On the current amp I have now, it seems the Classic Gain Red Channel is noticeably louder than the Ultra Gain channels. Why is this? From my past experience, as well as what I read online here, most state the Classic Gain Red and the two Ultra Gain channels are about the same volume & can all be assigned to the same Master, with the Classic Gain GREEN channel being the one channel which is significantly quieter.
My Ultra Gain channels are not as quiet as the Classic Gain Green channel, but the Classic Gain Red channel is noticeably louder, and enough that switching between both channels requires two different masters to balance the volumes out.
Anyone else have this experience? Is there something wrong with this example? The last two DSL40CR’s I had did not behave this way.
I should note all three examples I speak of were biased to 35mv, but the amp behaved this way prior to me biasing it as well.
Thank you.
