Members Burstbucker Posted January 14, 2007 Members Share Posted January 14, 2007 Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I've heard that the Marshall DSL50 amps have no diode clipping at all, just 100% tube crunch. It might be a different story with the TSL line though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BillyCorgan Posted January 14, 2007 Members Share Posted January 14, 2007 The JMP-1 sounds VERY similar to the DSL heads so i dunno. I know the JMP-1 has diode clipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be a different story with the TSL line though. I believe they do have diodes. Someone posted a gut shot, and pointed them out. I could be wrong. What's the difference? The older JCM800 2205/2210's did, and are the finest sounding Marshalls I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was me, I posted gut shots of a TSL actually and I pointed out it had a lot of diodes (I think 8 total plus the rectifier bridge).Apparently they are not in the signal path.

There are sonme in the switching circuit and probably the rectifier, but none in the signal path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JerryP Posted January 14, 2007 Members Share Posted January 14, 2007 no diodes in a TSL signal... diodes in a Peavey XXX though The diodes in the XXX aren't for creating distortion. The DSL TSL don't use diodes either.Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
