NOS Pres for a DSL40CR
Posted: Fri Apr 30, 2021 8:11 pm
Hey guys (it's been awhile),
Hope everyone is doing great!
I've got a friend (the other guitarist in my band) I want to do something for.
His 17 yr old son went through open heart surgery 2 weeks ago. There were complications and he didn't get to go home until about a week later. He was only home a few days when complications came back and now he's in the hospital again.
I can't imagine the kind of stress and worry he's enduring right now.
So my idea to lift his spirits a little is to surprise him by throwing a couple nos or used os pre tubes in his combo.
He's got a DSL40CR the revamped version that came out a couple years ago. I know the amp's been revoiced but I'm not sure exactly what pre would open up it's world. Seems from what I've heard in practice the revoicing has made it much darker sounding, has alot more lower mids than before which kinda leaves it sounding a bit muddy, but that could be the stock speaker too. You guys might have a different take on it.
He is a classic rock Marshall Ace Frehley fan all the way and plays strats: mostly HSS.
So what pre would wake this amp up in v1 and possibly the PI slot?
Thanks ahead of time and I look forward to your responses.
