The Marshall DSL40CR is a powerful and versatile all-tube combo amplifier that delivers classic and modern Marshall tones in a gig-ready format. Featuring two channels (Classic Gain and Ultra Gain), the DSL40CR offers a wide tonal palette—from clean, articulate tones to aggressive high-gain distortion. With 40 watts of EL34-driven power and a Celestion V-Type 12" speaker, it’s perfect for stage or studio. Onboard digital reverb, an FX loop, and power scaling to 20W make it flexible for any playing environment.
