FJA Modded Marshall DSL 1

[ics1974]

Is there a reason you do your testing use Celestion 75's?

[back2backband1]

great playing and great demo! who modded the amp? sounds great man! what did they ad?

[shaneclemens]

The best DSL Ive heard so far.

[Piereligio]

I've a dsl100, I'd want an Angus Young tone (I bought dsl100 for the 2 channels).

helps?

[zzrock7]

your tone resembles Eddie Van Halen's at times.

[polishskaterdude32]

can u play just from the head?

[xXMEGAtallica1991Xx]

@polishskaterdude32 no

[petepetruzzi]

whats the cab man?

[FJAMods]

@petepetruzzi Marshall 4x12 with Celestion 75's

[petepetruzzi]

@FJAMods i have a dsl100, played thru a marshall vs412 cab, more of an economy cab, id like to get a 1960a or b. in your opinion would it really make a a big difference in tone, or would i be ok to stick w the vs412. trying one out myself would be the best way, but right now im just a kid trying to save a dollar

[romanozzy]

Its Sound like RATT from 80s.This amp fucking rule!!!

[partyboy93]

What tubes do you use in marshalls ? I have early(that's what i heard) dsl50 with drake tranformers. To me, it sound very fizzy and bright. Deep switch helps a little, but not much. I think the problem is in the tubes ( some old Ei on the power amp and mixed tubes on the preamp). Can you recomend me some darker sounding tubes.

[PieterFW]

Wow, this sounds actually quite good!

[shred5]

Wow this is by far the best sounding JCM 2000 I have ever heard.

[SplinteredSoulBand]

So what is it? A JCM 2000 or a DSL 100??

[TheSDH666]

@SplinteredSoulBand it's a JCM 2000 DSL 100 :)

[Nirvanamaster2]

@SplinteredSoulBand JCM 2000 DSL 100.

JCM 2000 serieis. DSL (Dual Super Lead0 100watt head.

[imwarcraftinyo]

@SplinteredSoulBand its both. JCM 2000. DSL (dual super lead) they also host the JCM TSL which is Triple super lead? i guess lol.

[brimill1980]

good vid what did ya do???? i have a stock dsl no mods or that but ive got a tone akine to this but then again ive rarely ever played it with the volume lower than 8 and gain on about 7ish :] marshalls love volume :] but thats probably why im half deaf...

[rhcpfan41]

nice tone :)

[sweetgyy]

sweet

[Freemasonry]

I have a DSL 2000, hook me up!! Mine sounds like shit!....well, the green channel sounds ok with a Boss OD

[DeryckGuitar]

u should maybe change ur pickuos then,that might help

[Darkvinx88]

@Freemasonry you should check your power tubes...old or gone power tubes fucks up your tone

[underliner6]

I think it sound like the 80's hair band RATT. Great sound, very sharp.

[brandon136462]

how is it modded

[JayKarnage1]

killer vid! Like many youngsters, i made the mistake of buying a dsl50 for metal. Especially when mic'd to a PA(through Vint.30's), i have to drop my treble and presence down to zero to rid it's "fizzy" sound. I'd really love to bring out my mids and lows dramatically(as it is very trebly) is there a mod for that? any recommendations? its all stock with jj ecc83's and jj kt77's(rebiased to 0.43mV) please and thank you!

[skatoharto]

its still bright with JJ tubes? they are supposedly the darkest sounding power tubes out there

[budubum]

you should have used JJ E34L

Hey guy's there are alot of questions that need answered here. If you are running a business it would be nice to communicate more. Not everyone on here is 14 years old.

[FJAMods]

Hey guy, my business isn't done on Youtube or Myspace, I have an actual website, email, and phone number. I also work alone here on actual amps so I don't have time to surf the web answering questions on 50 different sites. If you bother to read my profile on the main page you would see I don't conduct business on here or reply to messages here regarding business.

This site is just to get the word out. If you like what you see you come to me and get more info.

SMOKED

[Phil5150rocker]

That sounds amazing. What did you do to Modify it?

[ross216]

What's the first song he plays right at the beginning called?

[gibsonplayer9292]

watsa the difference in tone between the mullards and the jjs

[blowoffsorrow]

You guys seem to know a bit about amp modds. I have a DSL 100 and want to retube it to get more of a tighter chunky metal sound, I have heard that JJ valves are good. could you suggest what type would help with my sound? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

[FJAMods]

I like the new Mullard EL34's and 12AX7's best myself. I'm not a fan of JJ tubes at all.

[leejackson13666]

MUCH BETTER THAN A STANDARD DSL !!!! i so want my amp modded...but i live in france -__-

[spaceforlease]

oh and... whats the setting on this?? and what channel?

thx!

[spaceforlease]

my gosh... 0:11, 0:25 that is the PERFECT TONE!! wat mod is that? i bought mine second and the sound SUCKS compared to this!

[ofwolves]

how much does it cost to Mod? are there other Mods for it? my main issue is the reverb has no foot switch? can I buy one? I also wish I could swich betweent the 4 different settings

[Jimimarshallhendrix2]

Are you just playing through the Head?

[LesPaulCryBaby]

Good sounding amp! I'm new to the world of tube-amps. I'm planning to buy one so I'm testing as much as I can. Does anyone recommend an amp to get that old hardrock sound (like ACDC?). I would love to have an amp sounding 'crisp'.

Thanks!

[Acimon]

MAybe a Vintage series Marshall AMP would suite your needs, but general golden rule!

Always try the amp with your or at least with a quite similar guitar befor buying it, if it's available somhow.

[terminalninja]

do some research and by any marshall orgionaly made in years up until 1970

[PiperDawnsGate]

What mod did you use? How'd you do it? What exactly does the mod do? Love the sound you're getting out of yours.

[FJAMods]

Thanks! This amp has my standard DSL mod. The mod on this amp was done to add more gain and give the amp a better mid bite with a thick meaty tone.

[PiperDawnsGate]

i'm guessing to add the meaty tone you did something with the c12 cap? I'm trying to do modding on my own because i don't have the money to pay for modding. I just took out my c12 cap and left it open. Gave me a much meatier tone.

[FJAMods]

Nope, didn't touch it. That's just a bright cap and only really has an effect when the gain is below 12 o'clock.

[CaddyWumpasyyz]

what are your settings?

[lolrotflman]

what are your settings on this video?

[viperBSG]

What where the Mod's that where done to this amp?It sounds KILLER.

[FJAMods]

Thanks! It has my standard DSL/TSL mod.

[jay31486]

Would you be able to make a Dsl 100 switchable to 50 watts? Or is that only possible during construction of the amp?

[camosack]

What are the main tone characteristics differences between the mod and stock. I have a 100 watt DSL and the ultra gain channel sounds thin compared to the fat classic channel. What can you mod do for me, im very interested.

[FJAMods]

I can tweak it any way you like. This customer wanted a little more gain and more mid cut. If you need the tone to be thicker and chunkier I can do that.

[camosack]

thanks for the reply, i am definatley interested.

[FJAMods]

You're welcome, anytime! Shoot me an email when ever you're ready.

[jay31486]

Do you think the dsl is a well made amp? Some have said they are made like tanks and others thell me theyre problematic.

[FJAMods]

They are made OK as far as modern amps goes. I've seen a few problems, but they aren't junk by any stretch.
