seriously having a mass debate with myself over amps...!

Or the 30w. Why do you say you assume you'd have to get the 100w?

[Woogie]

'seriously have a massdebate with myself over amps...!'

Sounds quite funny :P

[varkunus]

well got ur attention you dirty perv :d Anyway if my 40w all tube dsl is at 4.5 a 50w would be cranked wouldnt it meaning clipping, so a 100w would be better?

You've lost me there- what's the 4.5? And 'clipping' in what context?

[Woogie]

delete

[varkunus]

4.5 master volume at band practice with dsl. And as in harsh solid state clipping

[sambo]

Ah ok now we're getting somewhere.

In that case I would go for the 100w personally, yes.

[Will]

You will probably find its the DSL's speaker that makes some of the harshness.

And you are aware that any OD is clipping? if you want more headroom, turn the master up, and the pre down

[varkunus]

yes obviously od is clipping but the harsh ss clipping

[Stevepage]

I'm also going to recommend a different speaker. Something with a higher wattage rating so you have more headroom, it sounds like the speaker is 'farting' as I like to put it.

Also try an eq pedal in the FX loop if the DSL combo has one. It'll take out some of that harsh sound.

Try and exhaust all possibilities before you splash out alot of money on a new amp.

[varkunus]

fact is man i really dont have any money. But i just dont think the dsl voicing is my cup of tea. At music college they had the jcm2000 100w head through a mesa 412 cab. And even that i found it a bit to "shril" for my liking. But would the valvetronix do mesa recto sounds well?

[sambo]

I think you've got to be realistic here. A Valvetronix is a nice little amp, but if want you really want a Mesa sound you'll be disappointed.
