I’ve owned multiple amps over the years. And the only amp I still keep around is the jcm 2000. Such a great amp. And it helps that I found it used for $260 US

[murfdog]

Still the best Marshall of the past 30 years!

Classic Marshall tones,
what’s not to love

I got mine used for $550 about two years ago. Love it. So versatile! Another great vid, Leon. :)

I just re-tubed my DSL 100 with new power tubes this week. Love this thing. Had it since 1999 and love it. This video should have been included in the Marshall Manual. Most people do not have a clue of the versatility of this amp. Thank you for showing it!. Great Video!!

Gary Holt used one with Slayer for a little while. Good enough for me

I'm not a Marshall guy at all, but man, the DSL50 and DSL100 are such good sounding amps

Leon, I consider you the JCM 2000 DSL guru. You inspired me to purchase one in the past week. GREAT amp! Even better in person. Thank you for your thorough reviews sir.

Just picked up one of these for 400 euros, score! Biased and checked new tubes happy Friday . Thank you Leon for the great content

Dude, You are one of the only guys on YouTube that knows how to properly dial in perfect tones on a Marshall.. Cuddo's..

[Qaisjaan]

How awesome, this is my exact setup, Marshall DSL100 into a 1960tv. So versatile!

[michaelcline]

Probably the best demo of what this amp can do. Well done! They're overlooked because they're so easy to come by, but it's easily one of the best Marshalls ever made.

When i had my DSL, i always stuck on red lead 1, with a bb preamp in front. I was never a big fan of the other channels, except maybe crunch. On lead 2 I could never get along with that channel because of the compression and FIZZ. But lead 1 was the main event for sure. Always great to see how other players dial in a DSL, they’re amazing amps!

[stevenmgyori]

Well done Leon! Thanks for including the Strat! Enjoy the change in direction from valve to modeling and back again!
Be Well Brother!

DSL50 "sitting around" right to your left. ;)

Loved the demo. Most underrated Marshalls.

[seantoxikmartin]

I have been a weekend warrior with this amp for 10 years, I think the greenbacks are magic! awesome that you have love for these amps!! Great Video!

[chreld]

You are really about amps. I think that is why I love this channel so much.

[ronniecoffey]

that Yngwie super strat is freakin Sweet !! you sound Great as usual, luvin that Marshall set up

[xrayniner]

Could not agree more! The JCM 2000 series, certainly doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. Great video!

Hi, please make a video comparing the old JCM DSL 2000 against new DSL100. Thanks!
