Marshall DSL 100 vs. MG100HDFX halfstack

Comparing my Marshall JCM 2000 DSL 100 with 1960 AV cab to my MG100HDFX halfstack (cab loaded with Warehouse Speakers Veteran 30s). I'm playing my Gibson Les Paul Standard. I'm quickly switching between the 2 amps with an A/B switch.

Do u play the riff on the mg or dsl the first time through? I like the first on better.

[dcooper830]

@Mrsamlki the first one is the DSL

[T1mPlaysG33tar]

I hate the sound of this DSL... 0.o it sounds all watered down and muffled. The 100HDFX sounds much livelier

[dcooper830]

@T1mPlaysG33tar I agree it doesn't sound good in this video. I really need to do a better clip with some real mics.

those MG series heads sound like digital garbage

u should be in love with gibbons ;)

[ThrashMetalAJM]

you're a great guitarist sir! :)

[JEUXolim]

It's a fair test so everyone stop complaining. To me the DSL100 was just like heaven, the MG was actually a lot better than I expected but still didn't have that fat sound that a valve amp has.

[snoochez112]

the dsl 100 also has the mid scoop and bass boost buttons that the mg doesn't. Are either of those buttons engaged? that would make a difference too

[rickru1]

definetely the Marshall MG100 HDFX

[leanidis300]

The MG does seem sharper, would need to hear them both in person\

[Blackdragon52k]

Im into classic funk/rock/blues tone but I like to play mostly aside from Zeppelin and Kiss, is Iron Maiden and Slayer and me and my bandmate are trying to decide on which of the 2 is better for like metal but is just as good for like old rock and what not lol Any help on this is greatly apreciated.

[dewycatt2112]

trash that solid state junk! DSL sounds warmer and fuller.
