Members surfcat Posted August 4, 2007 Members Share Posted August 4, 2007 I can get a good deal on a new Dsl50-like $400 bucks off since they're discontinued-should I jump on it? I play Hendrix, Trower for strat sounds and Zeppelin, Gov't Mule, Free, etc. with a Les Paul-classic rock mostly. Or, will the Traynor Ycv50 get those tones as well, better, worse-for still less money? I have a Ycv40 and it's nice but it's not a Marshall-the 50 has EL34's and is supposed to sound like a Marshall. Also, the stock 1960A cab with G12-75's-should I stay away from it and get an Avatar 2x12 or 4x12? Best speakers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chrispsullivan Posted August 4, 2007 Members Share Posted August 4, 2007 the cab youve got is finebut i really think that marshalls sound best when paired with greenbacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LionHeaRT07 Posted August 4, 2007 Members Share Posted August 4, 2007 I had a YCV50blue and I thought it smoked the DSL combo I paired it against.. just had a "smoother" sound to me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members surfcat Posted August 4, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 4, 2007 Thanks, anyone else? One vote Traynor. Btw, I don't have a cabinet yet-it's on sale too, but I've heard other speakers are better. It's a local store so no 30 day return policy so I can't buy it and try it. Finding a Ycv50 in stock is very difficult too. I don't want to make a rush decision on the Marshall if there are better amps out there that don't cost too much more-is the Modern Vintage better? I'd have to wait on that one due to extra cost. If the Traynor really gets that Marshall thump I might be tempted even if I need an extra 1x12 closed back to get there.

Members xbryanx Posted August 4, 2007 Members Share Posted August 4, 2007 so the DSL50 is $800 brand new? thats a killer deal for brand new, considering a fair deal for a used one is $700. as for a cab, i think that amp sounds amazing with V30s, people also like greenbacks too.

So I'd be out $150 if I hated it-plus whatever the speaker cab I ended up with. The reviews are love/hate though so I'll definitely have to try it out-wish they had a Traynor 50 next to it for a side by side comparison. They have a 100 watt for $900 but I think the 50 watt is better for most smaller clubs, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xbryanx Posted August 4, 2007 Members Share Posted August 4, 2007 i like the 50 just because it breaks up a little sooner, and i just personally like lower wattage heads - i dont need the head room. its just a great sounding head, great amp for rock especially with a Les Paul.
