these are both on sale from zzounds normal price, like 100 off and 100+ off on the origin.

the dsl is probably the better home player choice as it has built in reverb, a bit cheaper and 1 watt tube is really nice full sound for home use. Giggers choice has to be the 20 Watt Origin with Legendary EL34 tubes, however they both have the power scaling technology that is so nice these days, to get nice low volume tone even from an ear splitting 20 watt tube amp. So they both can be used at home. Origin is supposed to be voiced closer to older 60s 70s amps. It do not have any reverb but has footswitch with some handy switches PeaceApplause

Ultimately, your choice! This deal is sweetened (even sweeter than Sweetwater) by long term 0 percent interest no credit check, they give me 12 month when I log in but it could be because I've been a customer a while and have nearly paid off a $1000+ gibson les paul tribute guitar. it appears even when I did not login there were 4 and 6 month payoff options no credit check 0 interest (maybe for new zzounds account holders?)

there are matching marshall cabs on the origin also on sale, but I'm going with a 1x10 or 1x12 myself

ETA: great deals on the origins combo amps and a 50 watt origin @ proaudiostar

https://www.proaudiostar.com/mars...-unit.html <---- "open box" 405h


any in stock item at zzounds will give a pricematch to proaudiostar, so if you want to take advanatage of easy financing that's one way to go, to get a lower purchase price and 0 percent financing no credit check. however there is no pricematch for used/open box items at all. It's gotta be classified "new" for a pricematch.

also, some of the best prices from proaudiostar are "open box" and here's what a rep had to say about that:

Thank you for reaching out. "Open box" refers to a product that has been previously purchased and returned by a customer. It may have been used for up to 30 days per our return policy, or even briefly tested before being returned. However, it should be noted that the exact condition of an open box item can vary. It's possible that the item could have minor blemishes or signs of previous use, but it should still be in perfect working condition.

We do have a friendly 30-day return policy for all of our listings, but since they're technically used, they may carry a limited manufacturer's warranty and it'd be up to them the terms and conditions for this unit.

We also offer amazing prices on brand-new gear if you're interested in a pristine unit with a full manufacturer's warranty, just give us a call and we'll accommodate you with the best prices possible.

Thank you,

Peter K

be warned the DSL-1 only powers 16-ohm speakers. So, you can't pair this with the Monoprice 12" Celestion Vintage 30 cab for around $200.

If you are comfortable opening the amp up, there is supposedly an unused 8 ohm output on the transformer that you can swap out for the 16 ohm. Don't even think there is soldering involved.

Note: If you don't know what you are doing, don't open the amp up and electrocute yourself…

Kenr I'm huge H&K fan and I'm probably gonna get a puretone, duotone or triamp in the future. I found one of these babies for $200 but would also like to use with my Marshal DSL-1 please advise:

the one you picked is fine. However for slightly less get this https://www.thomannmusic.com/harl...intage.htm is is better. its $376 shipped, and you get 2 x V30 speakers , just run one and its 16 ohms and you have a pair of 12s if you want to run a higher power amp for gigging. The only downside its bigger and heaver, that maybe a plus?

thanks man. very cool website, and some of the prices on the highest end professional marshall tube amps are insane on that website EEK!EEK!EEK!

But I made up some test shopping carts and it seems they won't ship to the usa, although they will ship that sweet amp cab you pointed out Peace

Is the proaudiostar website not actually adding to cart for anyone else too?

If you go to Herley Benton's Reverb.com store, it's $369 shipped...
https://reverb.com/item/62760671-...tage-black

or $509 if you want UK-built Creambacks instead of V30's
https://reverb.com/item/76724108-...-creamback

I don't know why Thomann doesn't send us there instead of their site which has high shipping costs... sometimes the reverb savings is just a few bucks, but sometimes it's a lot more than just a few...
