Not yet, they haven't been out long enough. To be honest I probably wouldn't take them on anyway, there's no point when Marshall's warranty is so good these days - three years transferrable. I don't work for a Marshall dealer now so I wouldn't see any of the warranty work.Quote:

Well, I was actually going to buy the DSL15 head - the first Marshall I've ever considered buying - until I saw that there's no effects loop, which makes it useless for my needs.Quote:

Not the JCA20H, the one that doesn't have an fx loop (stock) either, I presume? ;)Quote:

No. The JCA22H, which is the closest to the DSL15 in terms of target market. A two channel, high gain head. With an effects loop :)Quote:

I actually liked the old DSL's, from what has been posted so far it seems such a shame to mess it all up :(
Looking at the DSL100 head...sounds like its all upgrades to me at least from reading the blurb on teh website.
Me personally I've always enjoyed the DSL! Got to say I'm lucky by the sounds of things as apart from my first head (DSL50) which had a loud popping sound on the changing of channels...within a week of getting it new..took it back they swapped it no quibbles and the 2nd one gave me a few years of good trouble free service. My current one is the 1985C Anniversary combo...basically a 2x12 combo version of the DSL50. Sounds great to my ears, and well touch wood so far also has never let me down. Not a fan of the onboard spring reverb but that apart I'm a fan!
Played through the DSL100H in Guitar Center the other day. (I'm in Florida at the minute).
Keep your old DSL's. they'll go up in value.
The new ones sound bunk to me.
