DSL1HR : Little beast

5 years ago

I bought this amp to plug into now and then. I mostly use a digital preamp with headphones and this was just to have something real to play from time to time.

When i first plugged it in and played it sounded ok. But somewhere along the way I had tweaked it a bit and now really very happy with the amp. I've played it more than my digital preamp and really like the sound. It has enough gain to play some metal without additional pedals (Although i will try it with sd1/ts etc) and it cleans up nicely for rock and overdrive. The clean channel is quite bright. on Bridge pickup it is far too bright. but neck pickup tames it a bit. There is a bright cap that can be removed and supposedly makes it much more useable as a pedal platform. Although there might be better optiosn for that. I am a set and forget kind of person and like to just plug in and rock out and it has that classic marshall sound in a small but powerful package. You can go further with pedals and for the price it is worth a shot!
