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.
JCM 2000 DSL-201 (Cover Removed)The back panel has a standard speaker emulated D.I. 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.
Amp has been updated with a Celestion Seventey 80 for maximum headroom.
