Pulled the trigger yesterday originally a 700.00 amp now they are closing them out at 399.00 with free shipping..my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe was starting to fade in and out it is 22 years old..never could get a high gain growl out of it..great for clean sounds..the CUBE 40 is too cheesy sounding although it is a modeling amp and I suppose to be expected..think the Marshall will blow both out of the water..since I played one at local music store..as long as they don't ship me a dud

Congrats on the acquisition Dayne.

at that price I thought about buying several and leaving them sealed in box ( NIB) and when they appreciate back to 5 or 6 hundred in a couple three years, for NIB Marshall DSL40C then I would re-sell them ... but I chickened out..

$399 is a good price, assume that its being replaced by a newer model, hence the price cut. Amps these days seldom appreciate in value.

DSL40CR is the new improved version..40/20 watt switch no longer on back of cab..and might have addresses channel switching discrepancy which I think involved volume drop when switched channels? Nonetheless I think it's a deal and a half..Black Star HT40 might have been ok too..

And I'm taking in my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe amp to music store tomorrow before the audition to sell on consignment

Amps seldom appreciate? Don't know about that if it stays factory sealed in original box?..it would be NIB and we know what a G.I. Joe in original box brings even if it is a 1960s new in box action figure..the trick is never to open the box

Thanks Jeff..

DSL40C is a nice amp with legit British tone, enjoy!

The HRD would probably sell for $400 used in good condition if it had a fresh set of tubes. Fading in and out sounds like worn out 6L6. I gigged with one for 5 years and liked it a lot.

one question, Dane...is Lynard enjoying the amp too? ya know...since you guys are "sharing it"and all.

congrats on acquiring such a fancy new amp Dane. hope it fits in your shopping cart and you can cover it with a tarp when it rains.

I was giving Glen grief earlier LOL.. the "alter ego" LOL.. I am convinced Glen thinks I am Lynyrd..ha

I got the fade problem fixed I think a long with that problem a sound like a big drop of water splashing with a reverbish sound would take place..I got some electronic contact cleaner spray and squirted some on presence pot and wiggled it back and forth probably a few dozen times and it seemed back to normal.. I kept it running never switched to standby and would go play a little every hour or so, and never did fade in and out again..over a several hours long period of time.. yes, Dave the salesman suggested $399.00 and I took his word as a starting point.. but you can buy a DSL40C for same price new? but the amps are marketed for two entirely different markets??.. that's what I've heard

Dane/Lynard....I was wondering which one of you would be replying!

You're not?!!?? Could be Glen isn't the only one who believes that. Just sayin'.

I can see why one would think that..LOL.. when one of "us" shows up the other mysteriously disappears for some time..LOL
