The Best Tube Combo For Home? - Marshall DSL5CR Review And Demo (all valve guitar amp)
Музыка
Review and demo of Marshall DSL5CR. This is a pretty compact 5-watt all valve (tube) guitar amplifier (combo) with built-in reverb.
This combo has two channels: Classic Gain and Ultra Gain.
Gain and Volume for each channel. One equalizer for both channels. And buttons Tone Shift and Deep give you many options for setting the sound you need.
Also this Combo has a Speaker-emulated Line Output (which is perfect for playing in headphones), Audio in, Effects Loop for additional effect pedals and the button Low Power, which reduces the amp's power from 5-watt to a half of 1 watt.
What is really cool - is that Marshall included 2-button footswitch to the kit! So you can easily switch channels and turn on and off effects loop.
I think Marshall DSL5CR combo deserves to be called - one of the best valve (tube) combos for home!

Thanks for your Review and Demo. This will be my next AMP for Ukulele Use.
Perfect review! All reviews should be like that!
Nice review. I just bought one of these a couple of months ago and am figuring out what I can do with it. Thanks for the tips!
Great job! Thank you for the video!
About time for a good review of this amp.

Well done very good demo. Excellent.
Thank you, well displayed and played...
Thanks for the review! (helped me a lot in choosing)
Really nice review. Thank you
Great review!! Thank you!
Thank you MrHG!! I really appreciate you taking the time to do this review. Because of this review, I'll be adding this to my living room soon!!! :-)
Great video! THANKS
Great review, and a nice sounding amp. I expected the classic gain channel to have more crunch though🤔
Nice! Thank you for the video!
Good review. Thank you so much!
This guy is awesome. Great video.
Great review! Thanks!
Great review - didn't know the clean channel has gain and volume on the new versions, all the other reviews shown it with gain only, (including Marshall's own!) which must relate to the older version, considering one now it has that update 👍
great review you make
Thank you for the review, bro! ;)
Great review, brother!
I run mine thru a 1 by 12 and 2 by 12 cabs and it sounds huge and the 12 inch speakers eliminate all of the fizzyness . I find it easier to get vintage tones out of the 5cr than I can from my 40cr . The ultra gain on the 5cr seems to be voiced quite differently from the ultra gain on the 40cr
What a great review.
Thank you. Nice video!

Good review and amazing amp. I'm now one happy owner of one. Ty for the review my brother. 👏👌🤘
Nice one man.
Great review. It has that Marshall grind. Still prefer modelling for the bedroom though.
Interesting how clean your Classic Gain channel is 🤔 When I push mine above 4 (10 o'clock) in volume it distorts and gives me a great AC/DC sound. I also use a Schecter with active Seymour Duncan's too so that may be why! 😅
Great review. You’re cool. But I think I’ll go for DSL 20. I have a big house. 😄

Hi. Have a little problem. Was trying to mic my brand new Marshall dsl5 combo with sm57 and got an interference humming going from the power button of amp. In this situation I cannot mic my amp with close mic position. Is it OK? Thanks
Thanks! Interesting!
Yeah brother ✌✌
Hi, I had the 1w head and it was planty loud, in fact most of the time was playing at 0.1 w. I think in a house 5w is too loud.
I personally find the classic gain cranked gives a nice chunky AC/DC esque overdriven sound, I like it :) Regardless, that clean really shines, thumbs up from me overall, great small amp, great video my guy
A 10" Celestion Creamback is a great speaker replacement for this amp, too. Smooths it out considerably. The Classic Gain channel is an outstanding pedal platform. I prefer driving the Classic Gain with a variety of dirt pedals to the Ultra Gain for even the highest of gain sounds.

No issues with the review. It just seems like a lot of these amps nail really clean tones, and heavy distortion tones, but suffer when it comes to the mid level OD tones, like SRV for example. Pedals are probably the answer. But I do wish that on that ones I tried the High gain channel it didn't go into heavy distortion so quick and had more range.
このアンプマジで最高 アッテネーター付いてて5wと1wに切り替えて音量調整出来るしサイレントライン録音出来るから今の時代に凄くマッチしてる 小型のアンプ探してる人はこれ買っておけば合格点のアンプだと思う
Mykola, thanks for the review ! I have a question. Comparable to Katana Mk2 regarding of the souls quality and number of sound and effects which model will be the winner ?
@Nickw8336

Very different amps Elena....the Katana is a 50w modelling amp and this Marshall is a classic little valve combo. Both are brilliant but the Boss wins on variety of sound, I'd have the DSL lol.
Classic Gain is a joke: i play both volume and gain on 10, take a quite hot bridge p90 and play a powerchord -> completely clean! Otherwise the amp is perfect. Awesome video, thanks!

I would say that is not necessarily a bad thing. Often 5w amps are too compressed to even have a “clean” channel once you turn it up a bit, especially with hotter pickups. Guess just use an OD pedal on classic channel to get your crunch.

@@VintageRadius you are right! i didn´t want to sound to negative about it. the amp has got enough gain ready on the other channel and you can also use pedals. it is a amp with the best sound for the bedroom for my taste. i tried fender and vox but couldnt get good sound at low volumes.
How well does it take pedals?
awesome review! Can somebody tell me though, what is that cable on the right hand side corner at the back? plug it out and connect to an external cab or what???
@adamdeleon9058
4 жыл бұрын
You're correct. It's connected to the internal speaker, which you can also replace/upgrade. Just make sure your replacement speaker/cab matches the ohms/impedance for your unit.
Is the clean channel solid state? no break up at all, even at cranked gain and vol. Can some one please explain. My blackstar HT1 clean channel starts to break up at gain past 12 o'clock, like all tube amps, it shows pick dynamics as per how hard u strike the strings. But DSL 5CR does not.
Beautiful UA accent ❤😊
Мыкола,а как этот комбик для квартиры будет? Не слишком громко,как считаешь?
Distortion is amazing but ....seems to me this demo is showing that HB pickups react too flat and cold to clean channel if compared with typical strat single coils... I mean, if you consider it’s a tube amp we are miles away from a jazz tone or a rock sound with character...
Enze baaaaton! Mamma mía! Itse mi, Mykoletto!:-7
Where are they made now.
Had to put full stop filter on ears to understand hahaha jk jk, it was nice review brother!
I live in a flat. I am wondering if you crank the amp in 1 watt mode too activete the tubes, does it gets too loud for the flat? Can you compare it with a every day TV loudness or it gets much louder?

Older model better, has proper classic gain. It’s also full valve with a valve phase inverter these new CR versions have a MOSFET PI. The reverb is pretty weak too so better off with old version and reverb in the loop.

If you're a beginner, I would get the Fender Mustang. There are a lot of options and you can add in all different effects and see what you like. You might end up liking something completely different than you thought. You can also really get crazy with the signal chains and biasing and stuff if you want. ***BUT*** a lot of the Mustang presets are garbage so there is a lot to sift through. I have a Mustang GT-100 that I'm looking to upgrade to this DSL5CR or a Blackstar MK II HT5. My Mustang also does this weird thing where the volume/gain starts to drop out randomly and I have to restart it. I have read of it happening to other people so make sure you jam on one for at least 20-30 minutes before you buy it.
@bw1955

But of course this is just my opinion. If you're really set on high gain then this Marshall is probably a better choice. Less stuff to screw with and more time to practice. Up to you!
Can you gig with this. ???
When you were demonstrating the "Ultra Gain" channel at its most aggressive gain level, you said,you weren't sure what to call that type of sound; that would be considered a "metal" or (this is an older term: ) "heavy metal" sound. (These days, most people just say "metal.") That's generally the heaviest style of rock (and it has many subcategories these days).
GUUYS! This pedal comes with amp or wee need to buy it externally.
