IMPORTANT: Read before powering-up
Before powering-up your Marshall DSL-1
amplifi er, you must ensure that an appropriate
speaker cabinet is connected to the loudspeaker
jack on the rear panel. Failure to do so could
result in serious damage being caused to your
amplifi er. Always use an unshielded loudspeaker
cable to connect an amplifi er to a loudspeaker
cabinet, never use a screened (shielded) guitar
cable. After use, always allow the amp to cool
down before moving.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Please refer to the ‘Warning’ plate on underside
or back of the product.
1. Power Switch
This is the On/Off switch for the mains electric
power to the amplifi er. This switch lights up
whenever the amp is switched on (and it is
plugged into the mains, of course!).
NOTE:
Please ensure the amplifi er is switched
off and unplugged from the mains electricity
supply whenever it is moved!
NOTE:
Please allow a minute or so for the amp
to ‘warm-up’ after switching on. This is normal
with valve amplifi ers as valves need to reach
their ‘working temperature’ to operate properly.
2. Deep Switch
This adds a fi xed amount of resonant bass boost
to your sound.
3. Bass
Controls the amount of low frequencies or
‘bottom end’ in your sound.
4. Middle
Dictates the middle register of the amplifi er.
Turning this up will make your guitar fatter.
Conversely, tuning it down will give you that
classic ‘scooped’ tone.
5. Treble
Controls the high frequencies of your guitar tone,
making your guitar brighter when increased.
6. Tone Shift
Reconfi gures the tone network and moves the
mids higher when activated (in). This combined
with the Middle control (4) turned down results
in scooped sound ideal for aggressive metal
stylings.
7. Channel B Volume
Controls the volume of the Ultra Gain channel.
8. Channel B Gain
Controls the gain of the Ultra Gain channel.
9. Channel B indicator LED
Glows red when Ultra Gain channel is selected.
10. Channel Switch
Selects which channel is being used. It is
overridden if the footswitch is being used.
11. Channel A indicator LED
Glows green when Classic Gain channel is
selected.
12. Channel A Volume
Controls the volume of the Classic Gain channel.
13. Channel A Gain
Controls the gain of the Classic Gain channel.

14. Input Jack Socket
This is where you plug your guitar into the amp.
You must use a screened (shielded) guitar cable.
Never use an unscreened (unshielded) speaker
cable. Your screened cable should be of good
quality. If you are in any doubt
regarding this, your Marshall
dealer will be more than happy to
help and advise you.

7. Mains Input
Your amplifi er is provided with a detachable
mains (power) lead, which is connected here.
The specifi c mains input voltage rating that your
amplifi er has been built for is indicated on the
back panel. Before connecting for the fi rst time,
please ensure that your amplifi er is compatible
with your electricity supply. If you have any
doubt, please ask the advice of a qualifi ed
technician. Your Marshall dealer will help you
in this respect. The correct value of mains fuse
located in the small drawer at the bottom of the
mains socket is specifi ed on the rear panel of
the amplifi er. The drawer contains a space for a
spare fuse.
NEVER
attempt to bypass the fuse or fi t one of
the incorrect value!
NOTE:
It is wise to carry spare fuses at all
times.
