Both channels have the option to add some dirt with the push of a button, channel 1 is divided into clean/crunch, channel 2 has OD1 and OD2. The layout is pretty simple, you have one shared EQ section for both channels, seperate gain, volume and reverb controls, a tone shift button to scoop mids and a deep switch to add some serious thump to the sound, really cool when playing by yourself at home with singlecoils. I know I'm still in the honeymoon period but one thing I can say for sure: my G.A.S.
I know there's a lot of hate out there for the DSLs since they are the first heads to represent the "modern" Marshall sound, but just the sheer variety of sounds coming out of this thing really satisfies me. As good as the tones are that the Valveking and the Jet City give you, there's just something I hear and feel in the JCM that makes me smile everytime I hit the first few notes. So where do I start? This is my first Marshall and the first higher quality amp I own and I think I finally understand what the fuss is all about now.
Awesome as he is he conspired with my mum, got that exact amp and they gave it to me as an early christmas/birthday gift. I had a drink or two with my dad the same day and told him what had happened. Only problem was that as a student I was still broke. The old made in UK version for 600 bucks. So I started looking for affordable alternatives online, something that would withstand the test of time or rather my playing for a couple of hours daily and I found a used JCM 2000 DSL 100 in a town nearby. To keep the story short: both my Valveking and my Jet City took a on me and made me realise once more that the old saying "you get what you pay for" is certainly true.
So a few days ago I opened up a thread regarding the reliability issues I experienced with chinese made amps and my anger caused by this.
