The Marshall DSL1 50th Anniversary is a Limited Edition 1w valve amp based on Marshall's JCM2000 Dual Super Lead amplifier. The 1990s bought with them new technology and new technology meant amps could be more flexibile than ever. You didn't have to settle for a single tone anymore, you could have variety! The DSL1 is a dual channel tube amp that (like its forefather) can be controlled from an included footswitch.

The DSL1 offers up an impressive amount of gain and the tone can be shaped by the separate volume and gain for each channel and an overall 3 band EQ. And that's not all! Further sculpt your tone with 'Shift' and 'Deep' switches that allow the mid/bass voice to be altered.

This combo version has an 8" Celestion Speaker

Here's what Marshall say about the DSL1

By the time the 1990's rolled round, more modern technology meant amplifiers had more gain, and more features. In 1996, Marshall launched the JCM2000 Dual Super Lead which is the inspiration for the DSL1, the fourth model in the 50th Anniversary One Watt Range. Staying true to the original tone of the DSL and incorporating two channels, this amp will take you from a resonant clean to a classic high gain lead sound at the press of a switch. Tone Shift and Deep switches also reduce the mid character and add low end resonance respectively.

Although each of the five amplifiers within the 50th Anniversary One Watt range are unique, the series also have some common features; they are all made with pride at our UK factory, and will only be so during 2012 making these amplifiers limited edition. Each model will be available as both a one watt combo incorporating an 8" or 10" Celestion speaker (varying from model to model), and a one watt head. Other common features include 8 and 16 ohm speaker outputs on the heads and combos, era correct cosmetic details, a commemorative rear panel plaque, and a unique low power switch on each of the units' rear panels, allowing you to instantly take the power from 1 watt to 0.1 watt for the ultimate Marshall bedroom volume

    Bought this as I needed a practice amp for the house. I have a JVM410H and rather than buying the JVM1 I thought I'd go for a different sound and chose the DSL1. Sounds great and there is a wealth of tones available. It can be plugged in to a cabinet but I haven't tried that yet. FX Loop is great and the two channels are essential for the music I play. I have given the amp 4 stars as it was a little on the EXPENSIVE AS HELL side, but it's a Marshall and it's a limited edition (it better be). Also, I wish it was a little dirtier at full gain, but I can't turn it all the way up (too loud) so half volume may be affecting the level of dirt. I solved the issue by plugging my Blackstar Blackfire pedal into it to produce the required level of filth. Clean tones are beautiful and crunch sounds are great.

    Dr Who's tardis is much bigger on the inside.

    This little Marshall (and no doubt all its brothers)is the tardis of the amp world. Exactly how do they cram all that loudness and clarity into such a small enclosure?

    If you don't want to upset the neighbours late at night, stick to the 0.1W setting after 8pm.

    0.1W is Good for jamming along and practice.

    1 Marshall Watt is louder than you might first think!

    From Great cleans to well.... lashings of Marshallness it is first rate.

    Buy one you know it makes sense.
