I think they match ok? No one said they didn’t and it sounds good to me.

Thanks Harvey! Would love to have you subscribe if not already!

Lord Winterheart oh wow! Thanks - I rarely get compliments so this is great to read lol! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks Lord!

Thanks Bill - yes many of the music stores have good financing deals! I"m still discovering all this bad boy can do!

I keep pronouncing Charvel wrong in my vids- I think my brain sticks when the camera is on. I did a Charvel vs PRS shootout, which as a premise is kind of ridiculous, but the Charvel rocks. I may still be my favorite. I need to do a full review on it because it does clean, Stratty sounds really well too. I think it's the best bang for the buck in guitars right now.

Thanks brother! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! 🎸🤘🏻

LOL I had to fight the urge to use it on this but across the two part series, I only used inexpensive guitars. Next week will be the clean channel. I used an Epi LP for part of that!

GearGasms Love the videos, keep it up!

Thanks for watching Bret we'd love to have you as a subscriber!

@@GearGasms consider it done buddy

@@BretCahill Thanks Bret!

Thanks Mike! I got this amp and a real Gibson Les Paul Std all in about a 2 week period so my head is gear-spinning a little from it all. It's a great, great amp so far! What Peavey do you have? I had a buddy in HS who had a Peavey Deuce and it was killer!

@@GearGasms I have it paralleled with a Marshall Code100 modeling amp and a second 100 watt Marshall, all with 4×12 cabs.

Holy hell, Mike - that's a wall of fire! What model of Peavey amp is it? Some of those old Peavey's are finally starting to get a little respect. I came of age in the Deep South Golden Age of Southern rock, and all of my boys, including Skynyrd used Peaveys back in the day. We had the factory just over in Mississippi! :-)

@@GearGasms It is an old peavey classic tweed 20 watt tube into 2 tweed 2×12 classic cabs. I grew up in the 50 and 60's and was a studio guitarist by 13. Played in with Eric Burden and the Animals, on several tracks of GFR , and some with Skynyrd, and one with Jimmy Paige and more. They called us the wrecking crew.

@@mikecarreca7864 Sounds sweet!

Thank you! I’ll have to go back and watch because I rarely plug a Strat into it!

Thanks Mike! I’m not happy with the way this sounded in the video - it’s not nearly as fizzy in the room! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! 🤘🏻

Yeah I mostly play it straight up raw dog! I also did a separate video for channel 1 if you’re interested! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks CJ! 🎸🤘🏻

@@GearGasms subscribed as I was watching man! I'll watch the other video now. I Actually lied when I say I don't use any pedals, use chorus for a couple songs hahaha. Probably not the kinda stuff you're into but check out one of our recordings (done with the marshall)... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n-B3dKmmltTSfac.html

Lol - honesty is the best policy!

Thanks Charles! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! I used the Marshall in my most recent video!! 🎸🤘🏻

I’m still trying to find my sound with it but for me taking it off the 50w mode and using it full on makes a big difference! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks

You're too kind! My video I did have ready to go this week got copyright blocked because of a 40 second clip of Neil Giraldo playing a solo in a Pat Benatar vid. I'm glad I had extra content produced and ready to go, else I would have had no video to post this week

@@GearGasms crap that sucks! Lots of people getting dinged with that lately. Sheesh.

@@oldguysguitarvlog183 Yeah the other 3 songs that got dinged were just warnings but I'm not monetized anyway so to me it doesn't matter. And if I do eventually monetize, I won't get micro pennies on a couple of old, low views videos. I think it applies under Fair Use which includes education, criticism and commentary - mine was commentary and gushing praise to boot, but if you dispute it and you lose, there are horror stories that KZfaq can nuke your channel with no recourse, no due process so I was afraid to even try to dispute it. When I make mistakes in my playing in my vids, I often joke that I did it on purpose to keep the YT police at bay.

@@GearGasms Well holy crap, LOL.

Thanks George! I still don’t know if this really scratches that Marshall itch for some reason

Perhaps. Or, more likely it’s my poor recording technique. I’ve gotten better at the audio part of making vids since then! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks

I cranked it up with earplugs last night and for the first time in my life I experienced the pants leg push! I’m probably sterile now but that’s okay- I’m too old to have any more kids anyway! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks Senor Death! 🎸🤘🏻

Try it with the Marshall Guv'nor!! The Best!!!

Thanks Michael! I usually just wing it in these demos but I’m getting better at trying to pick things to play that highlight the gear more effectively. Would love to have you subscribe if not already!

@@GearGasms you got it sir!

Had? What happened to it? Did you have to sell it?

@@GearGasms Well when my late father passed in 2002 had to sell to help with funeral expenses.

That's so sad - I hate hearing stories like that. Maybe get yourself this amp and rock the Marshall anew.

That’s a really neat concept, but now that I’m running that through my just awoken brain, it mostly makes sense! Please say that you’ll hang out with us and subscribe as that kind of insight is invaluable not just to me but for others who watch this stuff too! Great tip! Thanks Aaron! Tell a few friends! 🎸🤘🏻

@@GearGasms No worries mate.

Yeah it’s got some bite!

Thanks for the kind words! It’s a lot better amp than people make it out to be. They crap on the 5150 Iconic too for the same reason. Snobbery 🤓🤘🏻

​@@GearGasms You're welcome! What cab/ speakers are you running?

The 1960a cabinet with Celestions. Can’t remember which exact model

Would love to have you subscribe if not already! It's free and it really, really helps the channel! Thanks!!!

I’ve had no issues with OD2 so far, luckily, but I don’t use it too often. What cab are you using?

@@GearGasms The matching cab. MX412AR

Hmm. I got the 1960A used for about the same price as that. I’m told it makes a difference but it really shouldn’t be the cause of the issue you described

@@GearGasms Yeah it's wierd. I played it threw my dad's 1960 JCM900 cab and it still did it but not as bad. Then I put it threw my V30 4x12 and it did it a little and then it was gone. Might be a coincidence but even with the MX cab it would go away sometimes. It's really wierd but I'm going to do some more research and try to figure it out because I think it's going to be something simple.

I think some changes to Eq and reverb

Yes. On the newest DSL100HR version They added 2 master volume controls, tightened up and added a little more low end and reduced the fizziness in the highs on the red channel that people complained about on the DSL100H version. They also re-engineered the half power mode (and incorporated it into the front standby switch instead of having a switch on the back) so that it operates at a lower plate voltage rather than affecting the tube triodes, so now the tone isn't affected nearly as much as before at half power. Other than that, they stil sound somewhat similar. The new HR version is quite a bit better tonewise and has better features. The newer model also has an 3.5mm MP3 input, headphone output, speaker emulated output, more speaker output options and a MIDI input. There's also a new 6 button footswitch (sold separately) for it that allows you to use all 4 channels (2 green and 2 red) independently, as well as to turn the effects loop and reverb on and off from the floor.

That is some great information - thanks for adding it. I didn't know about the 6 button footswitch. Now I'm interested in getting that!

Lol yes, a ton. I bough my 100HR at launch and it's got many many upgrades over the previous version. Looks like someone already listed them and you don't wanna get me started cause I'll write a book about the 100HR. It's an incredible amo with many many "fixes/upgrades".

@@GearGasms It likely only works on the 100HR an 40cr versions due to the fact it's designed around the firmware and switching board on the new models.

I have not but I have had my eye on them, as well as the lunch box EVH 5150 ones. Do you have one of the Peaveys? Thoughts?

@@GearGasms the newer 5150's are designed by Eddie van Halen and are made by fender. They do sound great also. I have a peavey 5150 ll which was also designed by Eddie. Its 120 watts all tube and if you like playing van Halen style rock it really cooks. After eddie left peavey to make his own signature amps peavey kept making the Eddie designed 5150 but changed the name to 6505 but its identical in circuit design.

@@GearGasms also I just wanted to mention the first time I played ain't talking bout love through the peavey 5150 ll it blew my mind and you probably couldn't smack the smile off my face.

Yeah I’ve learned and still learning how to get the best out of it!

I have a screamer type circuit in my Pinnacle deluxe that does work well with both channels!

Im havin all the gain way down on any pedal i got but im on the front end not the loop on the head

Best way!

The combo for sure. The cabinet on this especially was heavy. I had to have my som help me carry it up. I played the 40 In a store and you don’t really lose anything! Thanks for the kind words Justin! Let me know what you get!🤘🏻🎸

@@GearGasms Thanks man. How about if I did a 2 speaker cab/ head? Would you still go combo?

Probably but I’ve never run a 2 speaker setup. This was my first 4x12 and it makes a difference and my old Ax2 has 2 12s and sounds great. Hmm I might lean toward the combo still because the head is still a handful and bulky. I’m getting some earplugs for Christmas so I can finally feel this thing in all it’s glory!

@@GearGasms That's awesome. Have fun. I think I'm going to get the combo this weekend. Merry Christmas to me! Lol Cheers pal! Thanks for the advice

I’m getting ready to plug in now and get loud! Merry Christmas indeed! Ps I did a funny Christmas video this year- check it out if you get a chance!

Thanks!! Welcome aboard!

@@GearGasms i look forward to it man

I think it would but I'm not sure how much. Either way - look for one used. I paid about $450 for mine used. Thanks for watching and I hope you'll subscribe!

@@GearGasms I'll hit the subscribe right now. Sometimes I feel like I'm not getting the sweet sustain that someone like a Robin Trower gets, and I play a rig similar to his. Idk... tone can be such an elusive thing

Indeed it can!

Uber geil! 🎸🤘🏻

Marshall 1965A- Celestions. Thanks!

@@GearGasms i forgot, they are all JJ tubes or stock marshall ? thx

Whatever shipped stock

Aw man that sounds sweet! Did you buy it used or a ling time ago?

It’s new amps from Marshall they have one called a studio jcm 800 classic 20 watts and the silver jubilee 20 watt head

Definitely buying the new studio 1959 slp vintage 20 watt with tax money

Yeah the Studio JCM is getting a lot of good reviews! Would love to have you as a subscriber if you're not already!

GearGasms those little 800 will sell like hot cakes same with the plexis

I’ll have to try that out Kramer! Thanks for watching and commenting and would love to have you subscribe if not already! 🤘🏻🎸

There is a loop and you just gave me an idea for a video!

The Southern in me sneaks in on occasion! Lol

Charles Benson I’m pretty sure it’s all tube

Yeah it has 4 preamp tubes. So i believe it is all tube.

Yuck that stinks! So far no issues here

@GearGasms mine is 5 years old and tech saz the board has an inherent flaw that causes bias drift...some other issues he saz he can clean up with new tubes around $500..He comes highly decorated and feels the amp will be set for many more moons 😁

Fair enough- don't you think engaging the tone shift button on Lead 2 Red channel sounds a little Mesa-ish? Lie to me man! I really want a Mesa and I'm trying to talk myself out if by imagining I already have one! lol Which one do you have? Please subscribe if you haven't already!

@@GearGasms that's why I ended up buying both Mesa is just a different monster. I love my JCM2000 but it can't reach Mesa sounds maybe closer to a Peavey 6505+ with more flavour and less low end.

Yeah me too! I’m super stoked to have both as well! I have a Mesa video as well if you’re interested! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks! 🎸🤘🏻

Hmmm. Interesting idea- I might just try that! Thought about the opposite- playing guitar through a Rumble. 🤓🤘🏻Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks

Yeah I’ve cranked it a few times with earplugs in. I find that there’s not much difference in the 50 watt setting at higher volumes. Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks! 🤘🏻🎸

Yo lo uso a volumen de dormitorio y me parece genial nada "muddy" lo uso apenas a 1 de volumen y es ruidoso como el infierno, a 4 creo que me quedaria sordo xD, es el amplificador más.articulado que he tenido es mi favorito por encima de mi evh 5150

El Mismo para me, mas o menos. Me gusta este amplificador en la casa.

@@GearGasms genial! Saludos amigo!

I’m thinking about getting the CR120 head and the single 12 cab!

@@GearGasms in my (limited) experience...Orange is some of the best. Tube screamer is a must tho for leads

I have a tinny terror tube orange head and its not even close to the dsl100 sound. Try them side to side and come back with updated comment

I don’t know how a tiny terror sounds but some of the comparison may be due to my poor mic work and me not knowing the amp well when I did this video. I since got an Orange though and have a couple of vids on those if you’re interested. Would love to have you subscribe if not already! 🎸🤘🏻

Thanks Joe! Would love to have you subscribe if not already!

As long as the impedance match is ok then yes absolutely! Great question- thinking about getting one?

@@GearGasms Yes I am, with the cabs.

I bet!!

Thanks Brian - The clean/crunch video is uploading now - should be up by 10am or so!

How do you like that cabinet?

@@GearGasms yeah i like very much, now i am playing night train from guns and roses.. my cabinet has celestions in it but the lower version perhaps.. some day i want vintage 30 on my cabinet but it was expensive hehe.. now my guitar, i used epiphone slash signature. It is a cheap one,

They should put that in a commercial !

It might need some pedal love but I think it could

Absolute truth!!! Great comment!

Like a champ, in either channel

@@GearGasms Great I think I got a new amp thanks my friend.

The 8 ohm out maybe? Lol No, I can’t swear it doesn’t but I don’t think it does. The smaller ones might though!

@@GearGasms Ah that’s alright, I’m just completely new to stack amps and was looking for a Marshall head with a headphone jack, I’ll keep an eye out still then🤞

You shoot guitars?

Theodore Dowmansteingold ???

@@GearGasms "guitar plinker", plinking always meant shooting .22s at stuff..

I’m starting to think that may be correct!

This was brand new when I bought it and I made the video the same week. I’m not sure there is a newer one in the last year?

This is the one that I have

@@GearGasms The DSL100HR has DSL100 under the Power Switches, Master Volumes, Five Loudspeakers Jacks, Emulated Out and Audio In. The DSL100H has DSL100H to the right of the Power Switches, no Master Volumes, Three Loudspeakers Jacks, no Emulated Out and no Audio In . You even have "Marshall DSL100h" in the Description.

Gotcha!

When a Marshall 100w head normally starts at $2400, yes $899 is inexpensive. A 15 watt Fender Blues Jr is $599. I have a handful of Line6 amps as well as Fender and Blackstar combos. Not every amp I own is in my backdrop. I stand by my assessment. I got my DSL as an open box for $630 and and my 4X12 used for $500. So yeah a 100W Marshall stack used to be almost $4k - I think putting one together for $1100 is comparatively cheap. Thanks for watching and commenting!

​@@GearGasms yea i got my dsl100 for 700 b stock , only thing wrong with it was it was missing the power cord, and last night picked up a 1960B straight 300 watt jcm lead for $400 actually in fantastic shape from guitar center. my only regret is getting the evh striped for $1400 i coulda done way better than that had i looked into things a bit .

Used or open box/b-stock is the only way to fly in my book! Sounds like you have a sweet setup. Please subscribe if you haven't already! Thanks

1k is VERY cheap......especially for anything 100watt....and Marshall. You really need a reality check.

That might have to do more with my lack of experience setting up and micing the amp than the amp itself. Thanks for watching and commenting!

you can Never judge an amp over KZfaq.

So true, Fu!

@@94SexyStang Then why even put it on youtube ?

Yeah I didn’t think it came across in the video. I should probably shoot another video on this. Thanks Buster! Would love to have you subscribe if not already!
