I am yet to be uninspired by mine. Absolutely love it. I need to put together a 112 for conveniently changing locations.

I love the Killer Rabbit!

It's annoying having to clean up after him all the time. He makes such a mess with all the blood and bones everywhere.

I use Marshall Class 5 combo for practice.

The moral of the story kids? Astral Traveler is right and everyone else on the interwebs is wrong!! Muahahahahaha!!!

This is of course the correct answer and the thread could have been closed right here.

Are you using the Tube Screamer on the clean channel? I haven't tried boosting yet. That would add some variety.

Using it to push the dirty/red channel. I have that set with the gain at about 11:00, and the TS with the gain at about 9:00 and just above unity. Gives it a nice bouncy comping tone, then the boost in the loop provides a punchy tight lead tone.

Looking forward to the speaker breaking in - it has that usual Celestion harshness that they seem to all have when new.

Still kicking myself for not buying one of these when they were still being made.

I've always heard good things about those amps.

I use a Soul Food to do that with my 2203. My amp really does go to 11, but when you just need that little extra something to push it over the edge.... I'll try it on the DSL1.

In case you haven't noticed yet almost every thread derails at some point here.

Here's the deal: I've been looking for a practice amp for years now that doesn't make me feel like I'd rather not be playing. I went through all the usual suspects - small Peavey, Crate, Orange, Marshall, Fender, etc. analog solid State amps. Then moved on to what turned into a relatively bewildering array of small modeling amps. Everything has been a compromise, and nothing was satisfying to play through. So I ordered a little Marshall DSL01 combo. It's the right size and power and most importantly it's a tube amp that has an effects loop. So, I have high hopes I'll finally find something that will give me something approaching portable good tone at modest volume.

What are y'all using?

I'm using Amplitube through my PC with very nice Studio Monitors and if I like I can send the signal out to my power amp and through a 1x12 or 2x12.

Plenty of amp models, speaker imprints and tons of effects...
