Marshall DSL 100 HR plate voltage?

Hey guys,

Had anyone took and measured the plate voltage on your amp when your biasing?
I’m curious to see what it is before considering on buying one.

Why would buying an amp be based on its plate voltage? Just curious..

With the cheap Vietnam transformers probably the low to mid 400vdc.

I've biased the 100 watter, and it was somewhere around 450, if I recall. I've had the DSL40C as well, they're really not bad amps with good tubes and biased properly. Both were pre-HR/CR. I think those original 1st version DSL reissues sounded better. I wish I could say the same for the newer DSL20HR. It was a god-awful sounding noisy piece of shit. The "R" stands for REALLY bad.
