What would you do? Just looking for opinions. Does the Bassbreaker do the Marshall crunch tones well? Can I still play the Bassbreaker at home volumes comfortably? The Marshall has the attenuator so I can use that and master volume controls to keep it reasonable at home. I love Fender cleans, but the Marshall 40 comes very close. I just love the tones on that amp, but then comes the Bassbreaker. Now I'm hesitant on getting another DSL40CR, as I already experienced a dead one, and the store display model had a broken channel switcher, so durability is a concern. I'm not currently gigging, so this is for jams and home use. The 40 is complete overkill for me, but is more flexible and sounds better. I'm finding the treble ice picky, and I'm having trouble finding the sound I liked in the 40 combo. The 20 also has a 70/80 speaker, which I know most people hate and I think that could be a source of my issues with the EQ. The new DSL models feature adjustable power settings, which delivers all-valve tone and feel, at any volume, from bedroom to stage. I'm also missing the crunch channel on the 40. The next generation of the Marshall DSL series amps are laden with Marshall tone, features and functionality for the novice, as well as pros performing on the worlds biggest stages. Get the top end in the gain channel and the clean is piercing my ears. Get the clean right and the gain channel looses it's top end. The shared EQ is not balanced between the two channels. The DSL20CR sounds similar but not the same as the 40. After some initial internal debating, I decided to go smaller rather than getting another DSL40CR and went with the 20 watt version. I ordered a DSL40CR after playing one, unfortunately that amp showed up dead on arrival and had to be returned. I would really appreciate any input on this.
