playing style and attitude. From clean to distorted overdrives, the DSL is a versatile
all valve amp that allows you to easily dial in the sound you desire.
This DSL amplier not only delivers the tone you expect from a Super Lead amplier
it is also packed with an array of features such as an effects loop, power reduction
and studio quality digital reverb. Right out of the box your DSL provides you with
the functionality you need to take your sound from rehearsal to the stage with
condence.
Your DSL amplier has been designed specically for those who need the full rich
tone of a valve amp. This makes the amp ideal for a live environment, studio or at
home thanks to the power reduction system.
We hope you enjoy performing, practicing and recording with your DSL amplier.

DSL 100/40 OVERVIEW
The DSL 100 Head and 40 Combo feature the same functions. The combo is loaded
with a 12” G12 V-type speaker chosen for its ability to deliver exceptional tone and
exibility.
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 amplier. The ULTRA GAIN channel
provides even more distortion and break-up for players looking for higher gain tones
from their amplier.
Both channels share a passive three-band EQ, with BASS, MIDDLE and TREBLE
controls. The EQ section also features Tone Shift, which when activated recongures
the pre-amp mid frequencies making DSL ideal for contemporary metal tones,
especially when combined with higher gain settings.
The DSL features professional quality digital REVERB and a series FX LOOP. The LOW
POWER function adds a further dimension to the DSL sound, giving you rich valve
tone at an ear-friendly volume.
For the most demanding players, the DSL 40 Combo and DSL 100 Head feature MIDI
compatibility meaning outboard MIDI equipment can access all the features needed
to perform.
