3 footswitchable channels. Footswitch included.
Overview
As JCM2000 technology has rewritten the book of great guitar tone, Marshall is pleased to introduce the next generation of compact combos. The DSL201 20 Watt and DSL401 40 Watt 1x12 in. combos bring you the advances of JCM2000 design and a whole host of pure valve tones. Powered by classic sounding EL84 valves, both the DSL201 and DSL401 have 2 totally independent, footswitchable channels, notably Clean and Overdrive which can take you from clean, through classic and modern "Crunch" through to super-saturated Lead overdrive.
The DSL401 offers a third footswitchable option between OD1 and OD2, where OD2 has a 20dB gain boost. The DSL201 and DSL401 both also feature a parallel FX Loop with front panel Mix control and a large spring "Sound Enhancements" reverb. For home recording the DI output is fully speaker emulated. The all round flexibility and compact nature of these toneful combos means that they are destined to instantly become classics for sessions, rehearsals, and club gigs.

Would by it again if it would be stolen. (How often do you read that in reviews? ;-)
Sound
Great tube amp. The Clean Channel sounds amazing especially for a Marshall. Can get a lot of different soundings by changing the gain and Middle amount for the Clean Channel, from totally clear to bluesy and crunchy sounds. The overdrive channel sounds pretty fat, creamy, warm. Specially the 20db boost provides good lead sounds. You should always use a little reverb but not too much (4-6). Both extrems (too much or too less) aren`t a pleasure to hear. I use an Ibanez JEM 7 VHW and an Ibanez Blazer both Strat Types + Ibanez TS9 Screamer + Dunlop CryBaby or Morley Bad Horsie Wah. Works all good on the amp. I`m interested in a lot of different kinds of music styles and this amp enables me a lot of different soundings. But actually you need an additional 2((4))X12" Cabinet for live gigs. Some people change the Celestio Speaker and replace it with a Vintage Speaker. Don`t do that!!!
Features
Gain, Middle, Treble, Bass, Reverb, Volume enalble to create 1001 different soundings (for a tube amp). The Foot-Switch for Channel selection is fairly bad. I am no Rambo on Stage but I am always afraid of terminating this thinny something. FX-Loop and Speaker Emulated D.I. work as supposed.
Quality
I own this amp for 2 years now and I never had a prob. I play it a lot but even the tubes are still alright. (But I… read more was really supprised that Marshall uses some cheaply plastic parts for this amp.)
Value
It`s worth its price. You need a tube amp for those wounderful sounds and tube amps are never cheap.
Manufacturer Support
It might be luck but I never had problems with my DSL.
The Wow Factor
I tried a lot of different tube amps and I had to buy this cause of the warm sound.
