Adders60

The Laney was ok but it didn’t have the warm tones and it felt cheaply made Much happier with the Marshall rig

It’s a pedal with Input and Output plus send and return. As mentioned guitars into input and output to amplifier Send and Return on pedal can be left unconnected

Ordered a pair of matched JJ EL34 tubes and swopped out the Marshall stock EL34 ( will keep as spares ) Replaced V1 and V2 with JJ ECC83S Pleasing results as it sounds warmer, fuller and less harsh at high gain which the better JJ tubes seem to be helping A nice easy upgrade

The DSL20 still sounds good at low volume ( better than many solid state in my opinion ) The channel volume allows low volume play at home unlike some valve amps that don’t have a master volume and you really need to crank them for a decent tone. If you only plan to play at home then a 0.5 or 1w amp is plenty but if you want one amp that allows home and small gigs in a band then a 10w /20w valve amp does the job well

The DSL20 is EL34 paired and I would say it’s more 80’s to modern day rock I have the DSL20HR and it’s a great amp and can run at home at 10w It will sound much better cranked of course when it really shines The Origin 20 head is better for 60’s 70’s rock and with a drive pedal in front would cover most ground. I had the Origin 50 head in my old band and it was a lovely sound. For home I think the DSL20 is a good choice as it can still gig or jam or play at home Boss Katana is a good choice too but I still prefer valves I briefly tried the Laney Lionheart Foundry 60 but it was poorly built and sounded boxy and average The current production DSL20 is a great small amp. Can be bright sounding but back off the presence and treble and it sounds great. I use a Standard Strat with single coils and play clean and rock

Yep it was so heavy and I didn’t like the channel switching on it The two channel DSL20 is a great head and the better SC112 cab, plywood construction and V type Celestion speaker make a neat lightweight rig Sounds lovely

Now we’re talking !

With the master volume and set on 20w you can play this quietly ( tv volume ) so perfect for home and jams etc if required

Marshall DSL40CR incoming ! Had a DSL100HR and 2x12 cab before and a DSL20 head and wanted a combo for home and jamming It can be switched to 20w and has two master volumes so I can play quietly at home A great amp

Update .. it’s going back The box is small so it has a boxy sound and lack of bass tone Drive is very fizzy so I decided I would return

Can’t post in General Discussion The start topic box doesn’t appear

Just ordered this Laney combo 60w switchable to 1w and 12” speaker Seems like a nice amp for home and jam sessions Anyone tried one ?

A good low wattage amp is the Origin heads by Marshall with your effects front end of amp. I think the 20w can switch down to 1w ?? Very nice tube tone

Looking for a good valve amp for home and jamming use Good clean sound and mild drive Low wattage and with reverb Having headphones out is handy Any recommendations?

Just left Basschat to join guitar chat No longer playing bass and all gear sold and now about to start playing guitar again ! Not planning on gigging ( done that ) but play at home for fun
