Pre Loved DSL40CR 2-Channel 40-Watt 1x12" Guitar Combo with Footswitch

This pre loved Marshall DSL40C Combo is in very good condition and includes the footswitch.

The Marshall DSL40C is a 40-watt all-tube guitar combo amplifier from Marshall’s Dual Super Lead (DSL) series. It is designed to deliver classic Marshall tones with modern versatility, making it suitable for rehearsals, live performance, and studio use.

Power and Speaker
The amp delivers 40 watts of valve power and includes a power reduction switch that allows operation at 20 watts for lower-volume environments. It features a single 12-inch Celestion Seventy-80 speaker, providing a strong midrange, tight low end, and clear high frequencies typical of British-voiced amps.

Tubes and Circuitry
The preamp section uses four ECC83 (12AX7) tubes, while the power section is driven by two EL34 tubes. This configuration produces classic Marshall punch, dynamic response, and rich harmonic distortion when driven.

Channels and Modes
The DSL40C has two footswitchable channels:

• Classic Gain, with Clean and Crunch modes for clean tones through classic rock breakup

• Ultra Gain, with Lead 1 and Lead 2 modes for higher-gain and saturated lead sounds

Each channel has independent gain and volume controls, allowing precise control over clean and distorted tones.

EQ and Effects
The amp includes a full EQ section with Bass, Middle, Treble, Presence, and Resonance controls. These provide wide tonal shaping, from vintage warmth to modern aggression. A built-in digital reverb adds depth and ambience, and a series effects loop allows integration of external effects pedals.

Connectivity and Features
The rear panel includes speaker outputs for connecting external cabinets. The power reduction switch helps manage volume while retaining tube feel. A two-button footswitch is included for channel switching and reverb control.

Tone and Applications
The DSL40C covers a wide range of tones, from clean and articulate to aggressive high-gain distortion. It is well suited for blues, classic rock, hard rock, punk, and metal, and responds well to both playing dynamics and pedals.
