There are only a few voters there, but a lot of viewers.
Are you hesitating between the two choices?
The DSLs red channel..(which is the B channel to a DR) is FAR better with the DSL then it is with the DR...but their clean channels are very close in sound quality...with a slight edge going to the DSL for warmth..but not quite as tight..
I can't compare the B channel on the DR to the DSL; the DR uses the clipping diodes for the overdrive where the DSL uses tubes and it's apples and oranges for depth of tone and fun for the guitarist. I also agree the DR cleans are quite nice, perhaps because that's an all tube path?

NO diode on clean channel...I cannot remember what thread or who said, but I read that channel A (clean) also has clipping diodes. If the gain knob is low enough it won't clip or distort, but with enough gain it'll start to breakup, but there are clipping diodes involved.

I think that both clips had way too much distortion. I couldn't get past the intro riff
