The Marshall DSL20HR 20W Valve Head is In stock available now for fast UK delivery online for GBP 369 + Delivery. This excellent piece of kit is manufactured by Marshall and in New condition and comes with a great warranty.

The Dual Super Lead amps have long been a staple of the Marshall range, since launching in the '90s to great critical acclaim. Known for their ultra-versatile sound as well as their surprising proficiency with high-gain sounds, they eventually came to be hailed as a modern classic. Now Marshall have unveiled the latest generation of DSLs – offering everything you loved about the originals but with several tweaks aimed at the modern player! 

Those familiar with the DSL legacy may have noticed that the DSL20HR is a brand new addition to the range; 20 watts is a big step up from the 5-watt models, offering punchier, pronounced levels that may well do the trick for small-venue gigging!

As with the other models, you've got two channels at your disposal: classic gain and ultra gain, both of which do exactly what they say on the tin! The classic gain is warm but clear, and extremely responsive to adjustments, whereas the ultra gain allows you to tip into that full-pelt Marshall distortion that's so widely adored. This model, however, introduces presence and resonance controls, allowing yet more tonal tweaking; tame the Marshall drive to suit your own style, or use them to push your cleans into uncharted twangy territory!

You've also got the same Softube-designed emulated output, which allows top-class cab simulation for direct-out recording. You can even disconnect your cabinet for fully silent recording or practicing!

20W

20W refers to the power rating of an amplifier, indicating it can deliver 20 watts of output. A 20-watt amp is ideal for practice, small gigs, and studio recording, offering a good balance between volume and portability. These amps can provide rich tone and natural overdrive at manageable volumes, making them popular with guitarists who want quality sound without excessive loudness.

Guitar Amps

Guitar amps are essential for shaping and amplifying your sound, whether you’re playing electric, acoustic, or bass guitar. They come in various types—valve (tube), solid-state, and digital modelling—each offering different tonal characteristics and features. From compact practice amps to powerful stage-ready combos and heads with matching cabs, this category covers all your amplification needs. We stock a wide range from trusted brands, offering everything from clean tones to all-out distortion, perfect for home practice, recording, or live performance.

Head Amplifier

A head is the amplifier unit of a guitar rig that contains the electronics responsible for shaping and boosting your guitar’s signal. Unlike combo amps, a head does not include built-in speakers and needs to be connected to a separate speaker cabinet. This setup offers greater flexibility, allowing players to mix and match different heads and cabinets to tailor their tone and volume. Heads come in various types, including valve (tube), solid-state, and modelling, catering to a wide range of sounds and playing styles.

valve

Valve, also known as tube, refers to a type of amplifier technology that uses vacuum tubes to amplify the guitar signal. Valve amps are renowned for their warm, rich tone, natural compression, and smooth distortion when driven hard. Many players prefer valve amps because of their dynamic response and organic sound character. Although they require more maintenance and can be heavier than solid-state amps, valve amplifiers remain a favourite choice for professional musicians seeking classic tones and expressive performance.
