Happy Families

Hey Jim:

The family is now complete. We had dad (tsl100 w/1960B) and baby (DSL401). And now we have mom (DSL100 w/1960A) to complete the family. Each one of them sounds amazing in its own way. Whoever thinks thay still play pipe organs in church on Sunday hasn't been there lately.

Thanks Jim

Hi Guys

Well done Marshall

You’ve made the most kick as 9 Volt combo amp.

This thing is wicked, First time I tried it everyone in the house couldn’t believe there eyes as I strolled in and unleashed a few licks from B.S “Wicked world” and Creams “sun shine of your love” everyone was like holly sh*t this things kicks ass… he he.

The funny part is my wife said I could buy the MS-2C mini amp because she thought it would quite compared to my 50 watt.

Now of coarse it’s not as loud as a 50 watt, but it still putts out plenty of sound, and with the over drive on, this thing sounds like a wild animal.

I take it everywhere I go, and living in New Zealand there’s plenty of nice spots to go relax and unleash the fury. Now If I can only convince my wife to let me get the Jimi Hendrix Super 100JH special addition stack I’ll be set for life ;-)

Cheers Marshall

Hi,

My Marshall is a DSL 50 with a 1960A 4x12. It’s an awesome set up and was great with my Fender Stratocaster going through it but just this Saturday just gone I went into another league. I bought a Gibson Les Paul Standard from Sound Control in Birmingham where I also bought the Marshall gear. The DSL is the best amp in the world and it has a hundred voices dictated by how you drive the amp, the settings and most importantly, the way you hit the strings.

You want to know about strange places? I play for a church band on a Sunday and we have a very modern approach to our music. The church owns a 2x12 Marshall combo so now I plug my Les Paul into that normally on a Sunday morning but sometimes we play outside or at another venue for a special kind of service and if that happens I take my own rig (the half stack). So there you have it, your gear is playing God’s music.

Many thanks for a truly outstanding piece of engineering brilliance.

What A Find!

What A Find!

I found this baby in a second hand store near my home town in England, i got it for 45 pounds, ha haa, it's a 1979 Marshall, under the Park moniker, and i have to say it has Killer Tone! Would love to show it off on the site, and the 20 Watts sound more like 50, Amazing!
