Marshall DSL40C 2 Channel 1x12 Valve Combo Amplifier

Marshall DSL40C 40-Watt 1x12 Valve Combo

The Marshall DSL40C combines two footswitchable gain channels with a single 12-inch Celestion Seventy 80 speaker. Its EL34 valve power section delivers 40 watts in pentode mode, with a rear-panel pentode/triode switch reducing output to 20 watts.

Two channels, four voices

Classic Gain offers Clean and Crunch modes, while Ultra Gain provides Lead 1 and Lead 2. Each channel has its own gain and volume controls. A shared three-band EQ, Tone Shift switch, Presence and Resonance controls let you shape the response from clear rhythm sounds to saturated lead tones.

Reverb and effects loop

Digital reverb has separate level controls for the Classic Gain and Ultra Gain channels. A bypassable series effects loop provides rear-panel send and return connections. The two-way footswitch switches channels and turns reverb on or off.
