all-tube head for electric guitar with two channels, including foot switch
With the Marshall DSL100HR, the British rock'n'roll legend has given its most popular all-tube head a well-deserved makeover, adding useful details to the tried-and-tested two-channel design for use in the recording studio and rehearsal room. The EL34 power amp offers a power reduction, while the equalizer tuning has been revised. furthermore, an emulated Output with Softube speaker simulation is now available.
With "Classic Gain" and "Ultra Gain", the Marshall DSL100HR has two channels that deliver every nuance of the typical Marshall sound
Typical Marshall sound in Clean and High Gain
The preamp circuit of the Marshall DSL100HR is based on three ECC83 tubes and offers two channels. Classic Gain" and "Ultra Gain" each offer two sound modes that cover the entire spectrum of the typical Marshall sound. From the sparkling Clean and juicy Overdrive for Blues to the biting high gain for modern metal, the Marshall DSL 100 leaves no wish unfulfilled.
The Marshall DSL100HR is designed in the unmistakable look of the British rock'n'roll company.
Variable Equalizer and premium reverb
Both channels of the Marshall DSL100HR share a common 3-band tone control for adjusting the sound. A sensitive reworking has slimmed down the bass range, which is often perceived as too full, without losing any of its punch. With the help of the "Tone Shift" function, the midrange can also be adjusted, so that scooped sounds are also available for hard metal. Last but not least, the Presence and Resonance controls allow you to tune the bass and treble response in the power amp. The integrated reverb effect can be adjusted separately for both channels and convinces with a terrific spatiality.
The Marshall DSL100HR is equipped with an EL34 power amplifier that delivers 100 watts or 50 watts of power.
EL34 power amplifier with power reduction

Accordingly, adequate volume levels are available for the rehearsal room or the club stage. Thanks to the integrated power reduction, the head can also be played with 50 watts. This modulates the voltage and operating point of the tubes so that the typical sound character is preserved.
Emulated Line Out and Line In
The Marshall DSL100HR is also equipped with an Emulated Line Out, which allows the guitar signal to be conveniently picked up both in the recording studio and on stage. The simulation of the classic Marshall 1960 Cabinet, developed in cooperation with the audio specialists at Softube, guarantees a particularly natural reproduction.
