They go $800 used here. Can't justify that.

a cool amp but some came with the celestion 70/80, which was akin to mounting one of these in your combo:
i had one that came with a tech 21 power engine and no eq in the world could salvage that speaker. swapped it out with a scumback and the clouds parted.!

I think the OG dsl40c was the 70/80 and the dsl40cr is the Vtype. I can vouch for v type in the cr

I put in a Fane M65. That helped smooth it out a lot. It was still missing something for me - I threw Mullards in everywhere except V1, which has the stock Marshall short plate. I think that did the trick!!
I need to put it through its paces when I get a chance with some real volume but those Mullards really brought a lot of dimension to the overall sound that I enjoy, especially the midrange.

This is the CR with the V-Type. I may try the speaker again with these Mullards in place.
Scumbacks paired with Marshalls seem to have a great rep - but I am trying to work with what I have on hand for now.

They are $750 new from various places.
Marshall is selling B-stock units for $500 shipped right now:

The client chose to use this to cover their debt, and I paid them a bit of cash to cover a small gap that I unexpectedly made off of a deal I did for a friend, so it worked out well for the both of us!

Sorry, but what? You can get them new for that price. I see them all the time locally for $500 and I live in the same general area as you (except not in the liberal infested shithole city.)

Your house is 15 minutes from mine what you callin a "shithole" Bro LOL
BTW what Zactly is a "liberal" ? LOLOLOL
Ultimately the "price" of something is whatever someone is dumb enough to pay.
Im not paying $500 for mass produced Vietnam garbage.
Neighbors house recently sold for $530K your values don't align with ours.

I thought you said your made in China PIA was close enough feeling to the real thing it didnt matter to you, so I am confused about the Vietnam statement.
Maybe its the country of origin with amps you primarily worry about or is it the price tag? If it were lower priced, would you be more amenable to it or would it not matter?
Or is it Vietnam specifically?? Just curious what makes you opposed overall to this specific combo amp at a $500 price.

“Shithole” refers to the people living there and how they vote.
You are 100% correct saying “your values don’t align with ours” and I’m not talking about home values.

Very happy with my DSL40CR. Two usable channels, effects loop. I go direct in, or put an EQ pedal in front. Classic channel for rhythm, EQ boost for a hard rock lead; Ultra channel for lead, EQ pedal for another, pushed lead.
if I was still playing hard rock / thrash live, I'd use this amp, add a delay (maybe chorus too) in the loop and I'd be happy.
I have mine on an amp stand with a slight tilt up, sounds much fuller and less muddy than on a hardwood floor.
