Marshall Jcm 2000 Dsl 50 Schematic Symbols

Hi - my name's Kid Klash, and I'm a Marshallaholic. 'Hi Kid' Thanks for having me. My problem started in 1989, when I ordered and recieved the first JCM 900 2500 SL MkIII with a 1969 slant cab in PDX. I had no idea how addicting my new 50 watt half stack Marshall would be. The smell of hot tubes in the morning. It's been to every gig with me since, it's been re-tubed, hand-biased and tweeked by Bob at Eurotubes, and gets the kid glove treatment. It's been recorded on seven CDs.

Throughout its history spanning nearly 40 years, Marshall has continued to produce amplifiers that have been successfully adopted and used by musicians worldwide. As the years progressed, Marshall amplifiers came offered with a variety of additional features to suit the needs and requests of musicians through changing times.

Nowadays, a fully equipped Marshall incorporates two or three channels, reverb, an effects loop, speaker-emulated direct outs, additional preamp stage gain, as well as a wide array of independent tones and volume controls for each available channel. Power requirements have changed as well. With today’s modern p.a. Systems being more than suitable to run the entire band, it is no longer required to run a Marshall stack at full volume and save the p.a. System “just for the vocals”.

Today’s guitarists playing club gigs will often mike up through house sound, hence the increased popularity of guitar amplifiers that incorporate their gain within the preamp stage instead of getting distortion by overloading the power tubes. There are benefits and drawbacks to this distortion approach and it is one that truly goes beyond the scope of this article so it will not be discussed here. However, when all is said and done, musicians in general seem to appreciate the added flexibility that additional preamp gain stages provide. Marshall’s JCM 2000 Dual Super Lead series of amps are designed for musicians that require two independent channels of pure tube Marshall tone at a reasonable price. Models are available in a variety of wattages, from the 100 watt DSL 100 head, down to the baby of the line, the 20 watt DSL 201 combo. For those in need of three channels and wish to pay an added premium, Marshall also offers its JCM 2000 Triple Super Lead Series. For this review however, we’ve opted to take a look at Marshall’s 20 watt DSL 201 combo.

As a practice amp, or as a club or gigging amp, the DSL 201 offers a wide range of tonal options. Features The DSL 201 is a tube combo that features twelve controls between its two channels. Channel one is voiced for clean and incorporates Gain, Treble, Middle, and Bass controls. Channel two is voiced for overdrive and includes Gain, Volume, Treble, Middle, and Bass controls. Both channels share controls for FX Mix, Reverb, and Master Volume. A standard Presence control, used by Marshall since the beginning, is oddly enough not incorporated on this particular amp. The DSL 201 uses a pair of EL84 tubes (most famous for their use in Vox amplifiers; notably the AC30 Top Boost) in the power stage and four ECC83/12AX7 preamp tubes.

The DSL 201 also has a single input and a standby and illuminated power switch. The back panel has a standard speaker emulated D.I. Twilight full movie indonesian subtitle for sniper. Out jack, FX Loop, loudspeaker output jack, AC 120V input receptacle, and two fuses. The rear panel also has a channel footswitch jack. Housed within the DSL 201’s chassis itself is a Celestion G12E-50 12 inch speaker 16 ohm speaker. Finally, a footswitch is included with the DSL 201 to allow switching between each of the amp’s two channels.

There is no additional switch available to turn reverb on or off however and this would have been a nice touch. All in all though, the Marshall DSL 201 incorporates a solid range of features that most players will find very easy to use and versatile. Construction The construction quality of new amplifiers in general is often a heated debate amongst musicians. On one hand there is the perspective that most or all new amplifiers being produced today are built with the lowest-grade components and utilize poor assembly technique to ensure the lowest cost as well as to ensure maximum profitability. Gone are the days of the “hand-wired” boards from the classic amplifiers produced in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. To those same people, those particular periods of history were also the times when amplifiers were made the best.

Realistically though, we need to understand that to hand wire components and chassis-mount all the volume and tone pots will result in a higher cost and that musicians themselves will ultimately have to absorb the difference. It is no secret that most musicians are sensitive to prices and so companies need to market and produce its products with those things in mind. A hand wired, point-to-point built Marshall (or any amp for that matter) could never be built today in enough quantity and at a low enough price to appeal to the majority of musicians. So with that realistic thought in mind, let’s now talk about the construction quality of the DSL 201.
