marshall heads...
whats the best outta these three:
Marshall - TSL100
Marshall - DSL100
Marshall - JCM800
Marshall - JCM900
i know kerry king uses a jcm800, and i like that kind of tone, but i was just wondering how the other three are in comparison to the jcm800

theres no best. its a matter of opinion. (duh)
the jcm2000 series are nothing special IMO but they're decent sounding amps at a good price.
the jcm800 is the only marshall I really like, crank it and it just sounds great.
jcm900's are good sounding but they do have their own ring to them, I'de say its in between the 800 and the jcm2000 series for me.

I'd say tsl100. Don't really like playing the amps without some different channels of gain. But then I don't like Marshalls that much cuz they're not brutal enough by themselves.

jcm 800's are awesome, but lack in gain bigtime...
jcm 900's are my favorites. especially the sl-x's
the jcm 2000's are great imo.. good clean channels and more modern voiced distortion.
i don't like using boost pedals.

JCM 800, boost it with a Maxon OD-808 or a Digitech Bad Monkey (Im not shitting you.. awesome pedal for $30) and crank it!
The JCM 2000 is a very bland a boring amp IMO..

Doesn't he use like Lee Jackson though, and he's got some nice guitars and he does use a helluva lot of chorus. |

i tried a DSL100 which i thought sounded good, then an hour later at another shop i tried a jcm900 2100, both into brand new marshall 1960s. the 900 had alot more balls and low end strength kompared to the DSL, which sounded thin and hollow, even with that deepthroat switch or whatever.
dunno bout the TSL but im thinking its the same piece of shit that marshall has been releasing for the last dekade. total fukken shit.
jcm800 are awesome, i like them for leads or something to complement another guitarists tone. zakk wylde and slayer use 6550 tubes, which im sure adds some balls to it.
as for rhythm, im looking for a powerball or dual rec and have the 900 augment that to kreate a fuller tone.

Oh, so he's gone simpler now. I was watching the Passage to the Reaper video and behind Roope it shows a DSL100 and it's like connected to a BOSS Overdrive. I'm assuming that's all he has it hooked up to and if that's the case, then that sounds fucking good just for boosting it like that. |

JCM800s are nice but you need to crank teh fuck out of them. Not very reasonable unless you are playing big venues. Also Kerry and Jeff from slayer and many otehr who use JCM800s have JCM800s from the 80s with gain mods

Oh shit, this isn't the "Alexi and Jackson" thread? Shit there's like smoke everywhere. Anyways, yeah the whole point was that if you've seen the video, he's using a DSL100 with a BOSS Overdrive and that it sounds fucking sweet considering that's all he's using to boost the gain on the amp.

I ve played the tsl 100 and it really fucking rocked, real sweet clean, good rock sound and excellent metal sound. I ve also played a jcm 900 slx and that sounded ok, but a bit to sharp and buzzy, not as good as the tsl. I also played a jcm 900 50 watt dual reverb head and it rocked. I dimed it and it sounded so fucking good, better sound than the slx but not as much gain
