The Triode (Half Power) option drops the DSL40C’s output to 20-Watts, making it exceptionally versatile.

Firstly this Marshall has been completely flawless and is built really really well. It is a very quiet amp and this helps especially at higher gain settings. Tonally this Marshall is a serious weapon. I have some really nice amps in the past and consider myself very picky when it comes to tone. I replaced two really good amps with this one single amp. I feel this amp is a serious toolbox for an amateur or a professional. The range of tones it can produce would satisfy most people. It can do everything from Jazz, Blues to Extreme Metal and everything in between. Add a Boss SD-1 to the input and a Tube screamer and some modulation pedals through the effects loop and you are in business. It has great clean headroom, fantastic blues overdrive and hard rock to metal tones. With the presence and resonance controls and the tone shift you can get very close to a Peavey 5150. Getting well known Marshall tones such as Plexi, JCM800 and JCM2000 tones are a walk in the park. The controls are very sensitive and help in getting the immense variety. While almost any combination gives some great tone because of the sheer variety and control one has to remember and record the positions of all the controls. I have made myself some diagrams so I can mark the control positions when I find a tone I particularly like. I really find myself in tone heaven and am playing simple power chords just to hear it roar. Till I get my daily fix of this amp I am just not satisfied. I could not find anything at all to criticize on this amp and consider myself very lucky that I find it is so affordable.
I had a few issues , UPS beat the amp up and smashed the footswitch. It took a week to get a return. Guitar Center gave me a gift card to say thanks. I got mine on sale $ 100's off and then a $ 25 gift card. 2 channels both voiced differently. The green channel in both modes cranked is unbeleavably early Marshall plexi meets JCM 800. A tube screamer in crunch moded is remakable. The red channel can be brite and fizzy at lower gain. I like the gain up on this channel it has nice breakup. I am not sure about the 70/80 speaker untill it breaks in. Then I will decide if it needs upgraded. Their are already mods being offered out there. Like dropping out the c-19 cap on the red channel to both channels match up. I would like to see a tube driven effects loop mod. This amp is loud and you feel it. I am glad they didn't put it in a smaller cab.
I have had this amp for two weeks and can say this is a nice amp. Good build and nice finish. It's louder than I thought it was going to be, even on triode mode. Not a bad thing, just louder than I thought. Very versatile between the two channels and modes. Big bottom end on the clean channel. There is a definate difference in how the amp sounds after a couple weeks of use. When the amp was brand new, the lead channel was ratty and raspy, but now it is noticably smoother. I assume this is due to the speaker loosening up. I cant wait to hear it a month from now. definatly let this thing break in before shaping components to "fix" it. The footswitch would be better if it changed channel/mode instead of channel/reverb. Other than that, I have no complaints, I bought one sweet amp...
