Marshall JVM 410H vs Marshall DSL 100HR |High Gain Amp Shootout 

JVM all day long !!! It has that that thick Marshall 800 bottom end !!!!

What a quality comparison. Straight into it. Tonnes of tone. Tasty riffs

They both sound great and you are spot on, jvm more present dsl more scooped. I really love the dsl and they're surprisingly affordability but the jvm is just godly!

JVM for me this time. It has got that modern metal feel to it that I prefer. DSL feels more compressed. Very nice and seamless comparisons on this channel...and sick riffing!

Every time I see you post a video with the JVM 410 I miss mine a little more, lol. It is such a great amp. The amount of versatility that JVM offers is unreal. That being said, one of my favorite ways to set that up was leave it on the amber/OJ mode of OD1 with the gain set fairly low (I think somewhere around the 9-10 o'clock). Still plenty of gain the riff with, but I thought it would clean up real well with the volume that way. I wouldn't have thought the interference from lighting and such would be so noticeable between the two, so that's something new I learned. Thanks for the video!

You have made me a new player! Thanks Bill

By far "THE" best amp Demo I've ever seen. Straight up Metal to the point and no bullshit. Just earned yourself a subscriber \m/

Straight forward and to the point! Gotta go jvm for the crunch... keep up the shootouts.

both sound great. that dsl is a killer! great demo

The JVM sounds way better, to my ears.

Dude, I love my Marshall DSL 100 HR...!!! I crank both master volumes and use the channel volumes to level out the volumes

DSL for me... Not because i own one but because it sits so Well in the Mix... I Sounds Like already Mixed and mastered in a Studio 😋🤟 and If you crank the master Volume it really opens Up... Awesome bang for the Buck 🤟

Thanks for the video, certainly preferred the JVM, sounds more open.

Good job getting them up to shred volume before comparing. We all know that's where the magic happens. Great methodology and comparison. Keep up the amp shootouts.

Awesome vid! Great purchasing decider guide!

They both sound great and totally different! JVM sounds really raw and aggressive, the DSL sounds thick and scooped, I can't decide, but I own a JVM... looks like I need that DSL too!!

Jvm410h takes my vote here. Thing is a beast!

Great demo 🤘

JVM for me. It's got that "gooeyness" that I love but I also think it will punch through the mix better.

Great stuff my friend 👍🏻 Happy Thursday!

Hmm? I wonder those two mixed ....both sound great...digging the riffs too!

Хорошее сравнение 👍

Amp comparisons aside, you are a fucking sick guitar player. Brutal and fluid all at the same time.

i had 2 DSL40CR and I loved them, so when I was consolidating gear I sold them and bought a DSL100HR. I've been running wet/dry with my JCM800 2203x. So far, so good.

After watching so many of these, you Ryan can make any amp sound good. Boss riffs. Thanks

I really like this vid. I’m fortunate to say that I own both! It’s a bit of a pain to remove one from my full stack and out the other one up haha

I own a JVM and was surprised of how much I like the DSL from your video. I love the scoop and actually think that for riffing/rhythm playing, it sounds tighter and more evil

Both sound sick

Yep, very different, I’ll take both

Great side-by-side! I've owned both and still have my JVM and a 1960 cab , which is retired to my practice room. The DSL sounds great and sits nicely in a mix, but the JVM has that little "extra" that pokes thru a live mix when it needs to. Since around 99% of my playing is on stage, opposed to studio, the JVM wins. I can make any amp sit in a recorded mix. BTW, the alleged noise from the JVM is just that...alleged. Mine just has a little hiss until I unleash it. Maybe turn the gain down a bit?🤘👽

I have a DSL and bought it practically new for just $484. Here in Europe it's cheaper on a dollar basis, and that was the old pre-inflation and Black Friday price. I don't use it for high gains, I just grabbed the opportunity and I'm happy. I admit that when it comes to high gain, JVM wins for me. It sounds raw and aggressive, but it's a matter of taste. For this I have a copy of the Mesa 2x12 Baltic birch cabinet on Chinese V30. And believe me it sounds. Reduction to 50W is also useful. I would probably choose JVM, but I'm just an amateur and I already have my Marshall ;), and I would pay 3 times more for JVM. Here in Poland it is a lot of money. You can always try used ones, but you know - it can be different with the condition of the tubes, and the choice has already been made. Regards, cheers ;)

The DSL has to be the best bang for the buck full size head out there.

The 100 straight up sounds like a jcm 800 and a Recto had seggs and cut thru the mix better imho. That said, both sound fantastic. Also, you can get used 410h for around 1000-1200. New DSLs are $900. In case anyone was saving up or considering one over the other due to price difference, it's not huge.

The thing with Marshall is that you have to spend a lot to get “that tone”. Never been a fan of the super leads and this video is the nail on the head. JVM IS that sound.

I do own both the 410 is very full and cuts through nice live, home studio my jvm and a 6 band mxr can sound to close to call

It would be interesting to hear the JVM against the 6505+...!

Both sound amazing. JVM is a lot more versatile though. Comes with a price tag. I have a 2000 tsl 100 and a dsl 50c and even though they both say Marshall they are very different amps. Just like you have showed here. All the amps I have seen on this channel are really dialed in. You make em sound fantastic and the killer riffs don’t hurt either.

The JVM kicks ass. I've got the JS version have you tried that? That version has a noisegate built in and is my opinion the best modern Marshall you can get.

1:19 Oh my god...where is that riff from? Sounds great.

What are you tuned down to it sounds great

410h all the way and for 1500 its a steal pair it with vintage 30s and you have a swiss knive of an amp

Great demo! I actually prefer the thickness of the DSL over the JVM. One thing with the DSL Series too is that they come with just ok tubes. Swapp in a set of Genalex Gold Lion 12AX7's and some Preferred Series EL34's and it will be a lot quiter and sound incredible. I did that with my 40C and it transformed the amp. Running a wampler Tumnus in front and it kills!

The DSL with the Les Paul was sick! Have both and a JCM 800, but the DSL has been the go to. None of them still hold a candle to my Orange Dual Dark 100. A real beast!

Is the Tone Shift on the DSL engaged? I Like it without the Tone Shift... Less scooped... Cheers

What are your EQ settings on the DSL? Including the Presence and Resonance.

Awesome comparo and killer playing Ryan! Both sound great but JVM by a hair for me, big difference in presence un-boosted. Boosted they become MUCH closer.

The jvm sounds a little mid honking and the dsl sounds bass fuzzy to my ears. If you could take both and make a 3 channel that might be something. Just my 2 cents.

I just bought a DSL and after this video I wish I got a JV

I need a pair.. JVM for solos and DSL for riffs 😂

Both are great, but I think I prefer DSL to JVM. Could you make a comparison between DSL100HR and DSL100H? Whether is there a big difference?

WOW. This is legit not a "this one is clearly better than the other" situation, this is an actual "both sound amazing but has it's own character" situation. I actually preferred the DSL, so my future wallet that MIGHT can afford a JVM is happy! Lol XD

What were your JVM settings, if you don't mind? Sounded sick!!

i just got a dsh100hr to complement my jvm205 . unlike the 205 and most of the vids of the dsl the bottom end is very sloppy and gooey in an old school sort of vintage power tube overdrive style , lots of push and sag . anything i cando to tighten up ? it does sound good , but its not a tight modern metal type of sound which lots of vids of the amp seem to nail well .

The DSL has massive balls on it.

if you can manage to tame fizzyness of DSL with EQ pedal in loop, than I would prefer it over JVM.

JVM has a more flexible tone that would be great in the studio. DSL is for up and coming bands who want a good Marshall sound for their live rigs. That’s how I think of this comparison anyway. I may be biased though, I own a JVM.

Damn... that DSL100 double tracked tone...

Honestly, I’m super surprised that I find the DSL sounding better than the JVM in this video. DSL at 1/3 of the cost of the JVM…I’m sold

The DSL's growl is more my thing tbh.

They both sound great but it sounds like the jvm would be a better lead amp and the dsl would be better for rythum

Definitely JVM.

Which one has more low end and gain?

How is it even possible? That I've listened to your 6505, mesa rectifier and JCM comparison vids. Yet still, the DSL holds the crown 👑🤷

Keep coming back to this video! Can't stop watching it!! Fuckin amazing playing... Ultra brutal stuff, thanks mate! Now... Like you said two different amps the jvm is the top of the range and an amazing amp but don't ditch the dual super lead folks!? If its good enough for dave Murray from maiden and Jon schaffer from iced earth it's good enough for anyone! To be honest I think they would be amazing played together in the same band. The jvm has all the top end and that 800 bottom (but don't get me wrong.. Nothing on the planet comes close to a good 800!!) and the dsl covers all the mid range scoop. Sorry for going on.. Just my two pence worth!

Marshall of Sweden is off to quite a start, No? What's the pay rate in Vietnam nowadays

JVM

Though they both sound great.. the jvm just sounds a little fuller and punchier ..

This really go back to old saying you get what you pay for. The JVM just sounds more superior where the DSL sounds like tin to me. I owned the DSL40cr and all though it was a good amp it always seemed to like something, and I never really considered it a actual Marshall. Now the old JCM 2000 DSL's has that more of a superior Marshall tone as well, Also in my opinion sounds better then the JVM. That's my 2 cents

Dsl 100hr is made in Vietnam is it reliable i think jvm410h made in uk is definitely more reliable

i made a mistake i bought the dsl hr, big mistake.. see if i can use it as a deposit for the jvm

Try crow🤘

The DSL100HR is lacking midrange, the critical frequency range that defines the sound of an electric guitar. Consequently, it sounds scooped and thin. It could work well for death metal, but for classic rock and classic metal, I'd go with the JVM410H. The more you pay, the more tone Marshall gives you, or, you get what you pay for.

JVM djent DSL death metal

The JVM 410H sounds better here.

5:00 DSL sounds freaking mean

I own both of these. I like them both but.. there's really no compairison for my ears. especially for leads.. the JVM sings. sustain on the JVM is much more than DSL100hr. The jvm really has that early EVH tone, the DSL doesn't have that. just my personal observations

JVM better, but cost/benefit? I dunno. A new DSL is way under $1,000!!!

jvm mejor sonido yo tengo un dsl y es mas brilloso el sonido el jvm es mas definido

just metal riffing dude??

the JVM is Garbage- I swapped it for an ENGL. the DSL Kills the JVM actually any amp till the JVM makes a good door stop!

Ok so I'm newish to good amps. Aka tube amps. N proud owner of non. But if I did buy the JVM 410h. What marshall cabinet would you recommend? I was thinking the marsahll 1936 150 watt? Or what you 🤔. Plz n thanks for your time
