DSL100H vs DSL100HR Full Tone Comparison 

Thanks alot dude!!! Hope you got something out of the video 😁

Thanks for checking it out!

This was a 2x12 Marshall cab that I loaded with Chinese v30s

@@DeathMetalDevin alright thank yoy

@@amirtak9886 no problem, you can't go wrong with a DSL

@Death Metal Devin (DMD) yeah it sounds amazing. I wanted a jcm 800 but that costs like 2000 more and it's only a single channel amp that needs a boost. I saw some compassion videos of the jcm800 and the 100hr and the sound similar, the 100hr more suited for modern tones and the jcm800 for vintage tones

Agreed, u can do anything with them

I typically run volume all the way up and gain at 9 o clock

Sooooo…which one did you choose to keep?

Good choice

@@DeathMetalDevin still want to play a Savage though 😂

YOU DEF will!! @@mikechristy1840

You lived in ISS didn't u 🤣

Huh I’ve never heard anyone say that the new dsl sounding flubby . People complain about them being fizzy and they are until you get the volume up high enough on them, also I don’t think v30s are the best speaker for the DSL, unless they are paired with Cream Backs or G12T-75. If you crank the resonance up too much maybe they would get flubby but I don’t know, the resonance control is nice to use to adjust for cab and speaker combinations and probably at lower volumes but cranked up enough to get the power tubes working you might need the resonance completely off ? I play a Duncan Distortion into a sd1 into a dsl20cr and it might behave completely different than the 100 watt versions but playing it as a combo I tend to turn the resonance up but playing it thro a cab or combo and external cab I find that less resonance and more bass is the recipe. DSLs can be a scalpel super defined with the Marshall Clank with the right settings and boost , start with a SD1 and you might never need anything else. Anyway good luck to you, I’m not familiar with the Dimarzio pickup you mentioned, I’m more of a Duncan guy, but I can’t imagine how pickup making it flubby . You gotta mess with the dsl more than classic Marshalls but once you get that they can do just about anything you want them too.

@@brandonjackson5865 Yea I don’t know what it is but the new DSL models just aren’t tight. I know the dimarzio’s have a ton of mid range and low end but I didn’t have any issues with the JVM I had, or any older Marshall. But I tried the 40w combo and the 100w head for the new DSL’s and it just can’t cut it. Maybe an overdrive would help…but still I don’t know what they did wrong. Sounds nothing like the old JCM2000 DSL either.

@@greendayray yeah I don’t think they have to have an overdrive necessarily but I always use one in front of mine, some people just don’t get on with DSLs , everyone has their own ears and experience and if an amp doesn’t do that thing for you then it’s probably just better to move onto something else than try to fight it with pedals, they’re good to give you a little more of something you like but they’re probably not going to change your opinion of said amp .

HR got master volume and H does not

@@timchavepeyer1969 which would u recommend mate

There R stands for reissue . They no longer make the H100 . The HR100 has a master volume and the EQ had been tweaked especially on the ultra Gain channel red Channel is much more usable .

@@adamwatson6916 thankyou

Killer description man. I def liked the H more so myself and felt there was more to play with there. Just sounded more organic to me. I have yet to play the JCM2000 DSL and would bet that has an even more classic touch to it. Still waiting for the right deal to pop up on that

Interesting. At least when I had it in the room the HR sounded brighter to me! But hey all subjective of course. Thanks for checking it out!

At least once in your life, DSL is an awesome middle ground
