I can't believe I never noticed that on the schematic. Has Marshall sent a service bulletin on that? Is this an active place for a fuse, or is this something like Marshall using the same board for the dsl 50 and 100 and it is unused in the 50 but used in the 100? Here's a picture. I have the same issue on my JCM 2000 - DSL. Marshall JCM800 Footswitchable Solo Boost When I had a band, I have a problem, because I didn’t have the second channel on my JCM 800, to boost my solos. We were playing 80’s metal, so gain on my Marshall was on 10, and I couldn’t get through the mix with pedals. Throughout its history spanning nearly 40 years, Marshall has continued to produce amplifiers that have been successfully adopted and used by musicians worldwide. As the years progressed, Marshall amplifiers came offered with a variety of additional features to suit the needs and requests of musicians through changing times. Nowadays, a fully equipped Marshall incorporates two or three channels, reverb, an effects loop, speaker-emulated direct outs, additional preamp stage gain, as well as a wide array of independent tones and volume controls for each available channel. Power requirements have changed as well. With today’s modern p.a. Systems being more than suitable to run the entire band, it is no longer required to run a Marshall stack at full volume and save the p.a. System “just for the vocals”. Today’s guitarists playing club gigs will often mike up through house sound, hence the increased popularity of guitar amplifiers that incorporate their gain within the preamp stage instead of getting distortion by overloading the power tubes. There are benefits and drawbacks to this distortion approach and it is one that truly goes beyond the scope of this article so it will not be discussed here. However, when all is said and done, musicians in general seem to appreciate the added flexibility that additional preamp gain stages provide. Marshall’s JCM 2000 Dual Super Lead series of amps are designed for musicians that require two independent channels of pure tube Marshall tone at a reasonable price. ![]() Models are available in a variety of wattages, from the 100 watt DSL 100 head, down to the baby of the line, the 20 watt DSL 201 combo. For those in need of three channels and wish to pay an added premium, Marshall also offers its JCM 2000 Triple Super Lead Series. For this review however, we’ve opted to take a look at Marshall’s 20 watt DSL 201 combo. As a practice amp, or as a club or gigging amp, the DSL 201 offers a wide range of tonal options. Features 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. The back panel has a standard speaker emulated D.I. Out jack, FX Loop, loudspeaker output jack, AC 120V input receptacle, and two fuses. It is not a new program it replaces your current audio driver. It's a replacement driver for your onboard audio chipset which allows you to enable cool sound effects and improvements to your audio output. Gamespirit realtek modem. Realtek ALC-8xx/26x HD X-Fi@Gamespirit (SRS, EAX, THX TruStudio PRO, Dolby All, DTS All + Boost, BBE, Sonic Focus, PCEExs, Recording Plus+) Hey all, wanted to share this nice unofficial mod for the audio driver. For me it works perfectly - I can now enable sound improvements such as Dolby & SRS and much more. Only thing is that you have to check your motherboard facturer to see if it's compatible with your onboard audio chipset. 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. Construction The construction quality of new amplifiers in general is often a heated debate amongst musicians.
