Tonal profile

50-watt 2x EL34 head, the smaller sibling of the DSL100. Classic Gain covers clean and a woody Plexi-style crunch, Ultra Gain gives the saturated, midrange-heavy modern Marshall lead tone; the shared Tone Shift and Deep controls swing it from scooped to barking. A staple of late-90s and 2000s rock and metal rhythm tones.
