At the end of the day it doesn't matter how they sound. Standing in front of a Marshall stack is just cool.

And to be fair, they do sometimes improve things - the new MG series for example, which has been out for at least a couple of years now and I've not seen or even heard of a single one - compared to the old MG-DFX series this is either a miracle or a sign that they've actually got them right this time.

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.
Bought another Jet City instead
Not the JCA20H, the one that doesn't have an fx loop (stock) either, I presume?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.

No. The JCA22H, which is the closest to the DSL15 in terms of target market. A two channel, high gain head. With an effects loopNot the JCA20H, the one that doesn't have an fx loop (stock) either, I presume?
Ooh, let us know how you get on!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
Will do. There are quite a few people hassling me to do a demo when it turns up (it's coming from the US ).
Don't really understand the valve choices, though. Marshall go for the 6V6 for the DSL15, and Jet City put EL84s in the JCA22H. Surely it should've been the other way round?
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.
