Question:

  I just played a Marshall DSL-100 and I love the classic crunch channel.  I know the amp is a literal P.O.S. with *issues*, but I love that crunch. What *classic crunch* amp is this simulating?  I don’t get this sound with my 1987.  winnard

Response:

My Rect-O-Verb has a simillar setting, it’s called Vintage mode.  It is the real sweet spot of the amp, but it doens’t sound like any vintage amp I’ve ever owned.  It’s sounds more like Metallica on Master of Puppets but that’s with the gain only set on about 6.  I think it’s a misnomer.  The high gain (modern) channel is un-usable at low volumes, but it can really punch at higher volumes. Maybe turn the classic crunch channel on when you are playing at high volume and you might hear some ‘oldie’ sound in there Mike
