DSL1CR : As a home (only) player I am really happy with this amp

If you want a tube amp and can only play in an apartment, this is the one for you.

Frankly, 1W is too loud in my place, even with the 1/10 switch (I doubt it really takes the amp to 0.1W, but hey). On the other hand, I don't think I could use it in a band setting - but those days are behind me. I'd probably get the DSL40 for [rock] band practice/concerts.

The FX loop is an excellent though unexpected feature at this price point. I expect it would help in the future when I buy an equalizer - mostly to be able to reduce the volume. But in any case, that's where you put your modulation effects, post preamp.

The reverb is alright I guess, but I'd have preferred a master volume instead. A volume pot on the clean channel would have been a useful addition, but then there wasn't any room left on the panel. Hey, at this brand name and price point it even comes with a foot switch.

Build is excellent. Noise is minimal. As a con, perhaps the gain on the hot channel could have been tweaked to kick in at a higher setting.
