Marshall DSL40C: 40W 2 Channel 1 x 12 Valve Combo
The Marshall DSL40C is a versatile all-valve 40W combo amp built for players who crave authentic Marshall tone and flexibility. Its dual-channel design—with Classic and Ultra Gain modes—lets you shift from crisp cleans to roaring distortion at the flick of a switch. A power reduction control allows you to switch between 40W and 20W, making it equally at home on stage or in the studio. Equipped with a 12” Celestion G12 V-Type speaker, it delivers rich mids, tight lows, and sparkling highs with classic British character. With five speaker outputs, MIDI compatibility, and an effects loop, it’s packed with professional-grade features. Dual master volumes, independent reverbs, and tone-shaping controls give players full command of their sound. At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the DSL40C is the ultimate gig-ready combo for tone purists and modern rockers alike.
