Marshall TSL 100 Head-Any good?
I was just wondering if a Marshall TSL 100 Head is worth looking into?

Of course they are worth looking into.Keep in mind they have the most generic tone out there,and sound their best cranked.

I personally prefer the DSL , I think the tone for some reason is better.
I demoed both , I came away after about 2 hours trying each feeling the DSL sounds a bit better. Just my opinion.
Like my man above said these are not bedroom amps , Marshalls sound like ass at low volume , ya got to crank it , Loud is what a marshall is meant to be played.

I've heard from a few techs that newer marshalls doesn't sound better as they got cranked due to the newer power transformers and some other stuff to keep things "cheap"

I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt the DSL and I have no reason to not believe the TSL as well are meant to be played loud , I can tell you at low volume the DSL sounds like crap , but cranked it rocks .
So maybe they are talking about some other model. But if you dont believe me try one for yourself.

those techs are crazy. tube amps need to be played at certain levels to sound their best... not necissarily dimed, but turned up a bit. get them tubes cookin.
