Man they both sound F'ing insane but the fact that the Mesa is $2800 while the Marshall is only $1200 is unbelievable lol

Dude @ 4:52 when it’s the DSL’s turn the low end on that riff is incredible

marshall has nice grind and mids. mesa has some sweet over tones and punch. they both sound amazing, and would be great together in a two guitarist band mix

I own the DSL100HR, love it! I also one day want to get the dual rectifier you have there. But for now, the Marshall does kick ass and has already gone up another $500.00 in price in just the last year. People are seeing what a beast this thing truly is, and all channels are workable channels. I don't like the scoop much, but it has its place in a mix depending on what you are trying to achieve. .

This was the video i was looking for!! Thank you so much man 👍🏻

In my experience I almost always prefer mesa over marshall for hi-gain recordings, but in a live setting the midrange of a marshall just cuts through sooo nicely and really helps bring everything together

Mesa and marshall either way you're not going wrong 🤘

Both really good. But Marshall can make It at much much cheaper cost which is absolutely amazing

Great stuff and amazing dude 👍🏻 Have a nice weekend!

Awesome demo man !

sick riffs brother, love it.

Damn, they both sound amazing. Great vid and comparison

Great review, love both amps!

Awesome work man!

Good work man, generally I like both Mesa & Marshall high gain tones, but its the Mesa for me between these two, sounds fuller and more lively. 🤘

Amazing playing man

Youre underrated man. Keep it up🤙🏼

both amps are amazing... nice review!!!

I love Marshalls! I love Mesa Boogie's! I love Gibsons! I love this channel! \m/

The Dual Rec here sounds crunchier in the boosted demo, while the DSL sounded sharp, but a good kind of sharp that sounds very smooth and menacing. Both have really unique characteristics that should both be appreciated.

Awesome video. Have watched several comparing these 2 amps and this is the best by far. Going to buy the Marshall now. Thank you.

Great video comparison! Halfway into the video I noticed one thing that stood out to me. That Gibson Les Paul Custom limited colours edition in translucent red. I have the exact same guitar.

I love the way he plays in his videos. Timing is perfect; he's got mojo groove going. Raw, not the most difficult stuff, but not exactly easy either, and it is quite melodic. It sounds so good, even if I am not a strictly metal guy, He totally gets into it, which just ads to the awesome presentation. About the amps, the latest Marshall DSL cost/benefit is hard to beat, even if it doesn't sound quite as full and thick as the Mesa, especially for this kind of music. Even though he does great job dialing in the sound, I still hear a little of the newer Marshall fizz going on. For whatever reason it's inevitable with less expensive Marshalls since JCM 2000s. I know that mid-high fizz bite helps in a live band mix, but it is hard to like when you hear it next to a cranked Dual Rec or other 6L6 powered amp that has thumping low-end mid scoop. That said, mid scooped amps are not as versatile, at least to my ears, as they are always dark and not as musical. Maybe it goes back to the headroom that big 6L6 Fenders have. They're clean amps because they do not break up as easily as EL34 powered amps, I don't know. Enough rambling. I have a big Mesa 4x12 V30 Dual Rec cab and nothing moves air like it, so I am glad that he used it for both amps. That DSL 100HR is a fantastic all-round amp for a gigging player though (for those of us who have not gone modeling/profiling), and you can get another guitar or cabinet (or both) for the same amount of money instead of spending on something like a Gibson, er Mesa Dual Rectifier.

“Pre gibson” haha

I have to give it to this guy I’ve never seen somebody come up with more melodies with a low D tuning👌

As the owner of dual and triple recs... that DSL is absolutely brutal... monumental...

that song with the jackson was badass as hell my gy

Excelente comparacion y sonido!!!.....saludos

Nice video!!

Damn they both sound amazing. I pick both.

Thank you!!!!

Fuckin' awesome! A blend between booth would be perfect! That Rhoads is very cool and sounds great! Cheers from Portugal 🤘🍺🇵🇹

They actually sound very similar to my ears, but I would personally prefer the DSL due to more affordable price, and the slightly more cutting tone.

That Marshall sounds sweet. What settings did you use?

Having played both, the tone quality is similar but the Mesa is a lot more versatile due to more voicings and ways to customize your sound.

Love the unboosted Marshall sound, so tight! Great playing!

I'm stealing that first riff.

I like the bite of the Marshall.... I like the overall lushness of the Mesa. I'd be perfectly happy with either. The Marshall is the deal, though - you can pick 'em up for $500-600 used all day long.

I own both and this video is a great representation of each, good job!....my newest best amp at the moment is the DSL20HR ...for the size brutal

That Jackson became a weapon with that DiMarzio Titan...! ;) (...w/ Mesa...)

nice

I'm quite surprised, I actually dug the Mesa more, particularly the boosted version. Just seemed to have some more lower mid heft to it that filled out the spectrum. However I'm confident the DSL could be dialed in more to my liking especially with a boost.

I want both

Considering the Price difference, that marshall DSL left me speechless

In many of your comparisons, you comment on the strengths and weaknesses of each amp, what use cases each amp may be more/most suitable for, and how they compare in terms of similarities and differences. I wish this video had that, as I really enjoy hearing your take on the amps. Also, I was wondering, how do you EQ the amps for these comparisons?

This dsl100hr sounds awesome! Are gtrs double tracked? Just a 57 on a 4x12? Thank you! Amazing channel

I just picked up a Marshall DSL20HR. With a tube screamer it's like a UK rectifier that keeps up with most modern hi gain amps. I just wish I could throw 6l6 tubes in it lol. But really great UK metal tones. I really would like someone to compare DSL20 to a Bugera G20 Infinium.

The Dual Rectifier sounds better here.

@TriCrow Studios where can we listen to some of your music?

Was happy to see thumbs down guy came through for ya!

Keep it metal bro 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Both amps seem excellent for chugging like COB or Pantera

I'd love to hear leads without the wah But aside from that awesome shoot out

How do the cleans compare? I have a dsl 20watt very surprised with its cleans.

Good job !! IR's ?

I think I actually prefer the mesa boosted but the Marshall without a boost.

Are the Post Gibson Made Boogies different than the ones that were made under Randall Smith? If so, in what ways? Any tonal differences, build components? Are they the same? Identical? Thanks

Mesa is beefier, Marshall cuts better. Both sound good but I prefer the Marshall.

Yeah the Mesa sounds a little bit better for heavy rythms while the Marshall has better lead tones (and for sure better clean tones), but you can buy 3 of the Marshalls new for the price of the Mesa new, and if you swap the stock JJ EL34 tubes for KT77's and add a 35 dollar Hammond choke to the Marshall, it will make it sound and react significantly better than the stock tone.

This video seriously has the heaviest, most demonic riffs and tones i have ever heard! My damn respects! If you had to pick one of these which ones would it best ?

Neither of these amps is overly tight without a boost, but I personally don't like when a guitar tone is too scratchy. It needs some low end in the palm mutes. I'm surprised to hear how tight the Rectifier is, considering its track history. If I had one, I wouldn't run it with any kind of boost. Also shocked to hear that the Marshall is more scooped. I like demos like this where there's a section eith and withOUT a boost pedal, so many people fail at something simple like that but I think it's important to show at least without a pedal, if not both like this

Unpopular opinion I like the Marshall not boosted I feel like the low end compliments the saturated gain, the boost sounds nice and tight but I personally prefer the thump

Honestly the both sound awsome but the Mesa’s got like an extra 10%. It’s much tighter sounding and has a more focused sound. Meaby you can dial in the Marshall to sound closer to the Mesa.

In this test I actually prefer the marshall. Sounds cleaner and less muddy than the Mesa Boogie. The Marshall has better clarity

How do you get that stereo like sound? It sounds very rich compared to just the plain amp sound

great amps but Marshall DSL price wow !

Witch did you use a straight or angled Mesa oversized 4x12

Hi. I’m planning to play live thrash metal gigs. Is it any good for thrash & live performance ?

What are you favorite metal pick ups ?

Csn you do a mark v vs dsl100 heavy metal only ?

i love the mesa boogie but fuck that dsl sounds great

Sold the rectifier, got a JVM, much much better to my ears. For the money the DSL 100HR can’t be beat tho, it’s all the amp a rocker or metal head could wish for. Stick a boss MT2 in front end of the DSL and oh man there you have the definitive metal heads tone.

Why does the Marshall have more low end in this video? Usually the Mesa has more.

The recto is more then x3 the price here... so the choice is obvious.. Marshall all the way if i didn't already own an dual rec. The DSL is 750 euro and the dual rec 2799 euro..

Does the JCM 800 SC20C sound as brutal as any of these amps you just played? I love the sound of the DSL100 I can either get a DSL40CR for $600 A JCM800 sc20C for $900 Or a dual rect combo for $1400

What cab u using

You really can't go wrong with either. The Mesa is bigger and fuller. The Marshall is nastier while still being just full enough. Just depends what your priorities are.

Can i find Notes of this track? On 3:50

The Mesa sounds more dynamic and lively.

Marshall all the way.

I have both - 2 each side of stage. Mic them both screaming...................demon

I know this is going to sound like a weird way to describe it but to me the marshall sound is more up front, raw and present whereas the mesa sounds more polished. I think if you had the 2 amps in the same band at the same time, the marshall would stand out more tone wise. I think the mesa would get lost behind the marshall and with the drums and bass guitar you would lose that low end too.

Put the Marshall on the red channell wtf

Marshall better

Marshall dsl is made in Vietnam not up to mark

Am I the only one who thinks the Marshall sounds like trash?
