The Dual Super Lead amps have long been a staple of the Marshall range, since launching in the '90s to great critical acclaim. Known for their ultra-versatile sound as well as their surprising proficiency with high-gain sounds, they eventually came to be hailed as a modern classic. Now Marshall have unveiled the latest generation of DSLs – offering everything you loved about the originals but with several tweaks aimed at the modern player!  

Those familiar with the DSL may well recognise the DSL40R; its predecessor, the DSL40C, proved itself to be one our most popular amps of all time. Several tweaks simply add to this classic amp's versatility and playability!

It's now loaded with a single 12" Celestion V-type speaker for a brilliantly clear sound that has alluringly vintage overtones. 40 watts is a big step up from the smaller models in the range, offering punchier, pronounced levels that'll perform brilliantly at gigging volumes. Thanks to the power switching options, you can make the most of the DSL40R's gutsy tone at lower volumes, making it an incredibly powerful practice amp too! 

As with the other models, you've got two channels at your disposal: classic gain and ultra gain, both of which do exactly what they say on the tin! The classic gain is warm but clear, and extremely responsive to adjustments, whereas the ultra gain allows you to tip into that full-pelt Marshall distortion that's so widely adored. This model also features presence and resonance controls, allowing yet more tonal tweaking; tame the Marshall drive to suit your own style, or use them to push your cleans into uncharted twangy territory! You can also choose between two reverb voicings – classic or ultra.

You've also got the same Softube-designed emulated output, which allows top-class cab simulation for direct-out recording. You can even disconnect the 12" speaker or switch the amp to standby for fully silent recording or practicing!

Combo

A combo amp is a guitar amplifier that combines both the amplifier head and speaker(s) into a single, portable unit. This all-in-one design makes combo amps convenient for practice, recording, and gigging without needing separate components. They come in a variety of sizes and power levels, from small practice models to powerful stage-ready amps. Combo amps offer versatility and ease of use, making them popular among guitarists of all levels.

Guitar Amps and Cabs

Guitar amps and cabs are just as crucial to a guitarist’s tone as the guitar itself. Amplifiers shape the sound—whether it’s clean and warm, crunchy and bluesy, or full-on distortion for rock and metal. They come in two main types: combo amps, which include both the amp and speaker in one unit, and amp heads, which are paired with separate cabinets (cabs) to project the sound.

Cabs come in various sizes, like 1×12, 2×12, or the mighty 4×12, each delivering different tone and feel. Speakers, cabinet wood, and even open vs closed backs all influence the sound. Matching the right amp and cab gives players control over their dynamics, tone, and presence—whether you’re playing in your bedroom, a studio, or on a festival stage.

valve

Valve, also known as tube, refers to a type of amplifier technology that uses vacuum tubes to amplify the guitar signal. Valve amps are renowned for their warm, rich tone, natural compression, and smooth distortion when driven hard. Many players prefer valve amps because of their dynamic response and organic sound character. Although they require more maintenance and can be heavier than solid-state amps, valve amplifiers remain a favourite choice for professional musicians seeking classic tones and expressive performance.
