Yep, another one. This time, I traded a 2 channel dual rectifier I had for sale for this TSL100, a Mesa Throttle Box Pedal and $250 cash. Fairly even but slightly in my favor.
The amp has had a Mercury Magnetics PT installed. Stock preamp tubes and =C= El34's in the power section, which was a nice bonus. Great shape overall, with 2 small bumps to the tolex on the front.
This amp is super tight, and definitely not buzzy like a lot of people tend to describe it. It's brighter than a DSL, but not in an unpleasant way. It seems to have a little more clarity, but I could see where more classic guys might prefer the warmth of the DSL.
This thing rules for Tight and punchy down picking, and chords sound pretty defined for a Marshall offering. The mids need to be pushed a bit more, but it definitely still has that upper mid marshall sound.
Here's aclip I did over lunch, similar to the ones I've been posting, so you can reference against a couple others:
