OWNER’S MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of this Dual Super Lead (DSL) amplifier from
Marshall Amplification.
The DSL provides the legendary Marshall tone, allowing you to express your distinct playing style and attitude.
From clean to distorted overdrives, the DSL 1 is a versatile all valve amp that allows you to easily dial in the sound you desire.
This DSL amplifier not only delivers the tone you expect from a Super Lead amplifier it is also packed with an array of features such as an effects loop, power reduction and studio quality digital reverb.
Your DSL has been specifically engineered to sound great at much lower volumes than its larger counterparts. This makes the amp ideal for use at home or other quiet environments.
We hope you enjoy your DSL amplifier.

OVERVIEW
The DSL 1 Head and DSL 1 Combo feature the same functions. The combo is equipped with an 8” Celestion Eight-15 speaker chosen for its ability to deliver exceptional tone at lower volumes.
The DSL features two foot switchable channels: CLASSIC GAIN and ULTRA GAIN.
The CLASSIC GAIN channel delivers sparkling clean sounds through to the more aggressive break-up of a Marshall JCM800 amplifier. The ULTRA GAIN channel provides even more distortion and break-up for players looking for higher gain tone from their amplifier.
Both channels share a passive three-band EQ, with BASS, MIDDLE and TREBLE controls. The EQ section also features Tone Shift, which when activated reconfigures the pre-amp mid frequencies making DSL ideal for contemporary metal tones, especially when combined with higher gain settings.
The DSL 1 features professional quality digital REVERB and a series FX LOOP, giving you rich valve tone at an ear-friendly volume.
