All user reviews of 5/5 for the Marshall TSL602

Lamps with 60W amp 2hp 12 "
it weighs a dead donkey! 30kg, but at least he not tremble when you walk up the sound.
A single entry (I do not mind I have never used the low entry of other amps ...)
spring reverb
3 channels, clear, crunch and lead (EQ + reverb crunch and lead joint)
Direct output with amp simulation, useful for recording.
an effects loop.
2 adjustable output for HP 8 or 16ohm. Ie we can add a 2 * 12 cab or replace it with a 4 * 12
as said before bias adjustment easy = saving maintenance!
3 reverb footswitch channel + + fx

9 because of the wrists to the side would have been fine given the weight.

UTILIZATION

Setup could not be more simple.

its clear
bass, mid, treble.
gain in volume and still get a little crunch to high volume
crunch and lead:
medium bass treble in common. Everyone has a gain and volume for the preamp
a shift button that gives a more dry and heavier.

For the three channels, a button that digs deep mediums.

I put 8 on the Equalization crunch and lead joint.

SOUNDS

I play it with a Gibson Flying V Ibanez RG prestige or a microphone with super distortion and I must say it sounds fabulous.
great for blues, clean sound is warm, round and soft. Marshall grain is there.
I am using virtually no crunch, I use the lead channel with a slight saturation, resulting in a crunch with a gain a little tighter and has better sustain. Saturation lacks some precision when the rises above 5 / 6.
To get the sound I want, I use a small pedal magic, the boss sd1 (super overdrive), in addition to the marshall distortion (gain between 2 and 4), I get an excellent saturation and sustain further improved .
With that, I am a heavy metal that I was looking (for comparison, close to Zakk Wylde in ozzy)
Plus we play hard we take over his foot, and remember that it's Marshall, use the mediums to get Marshall sound.
This amp is really great, but if you do go your way nu metal.

OVERALL OPINION

it'll be a year that I really love the grain and inimitable comes out! Whether in light or in full, that's exactly what I was looking for in an amp, a nice clean sound and heavy and hard to grip.
Before buying it I tried other amps like mesa boogie lamp, fender, vox, peavey, all I preferred the tsl602 because it was more versatile than the bottom, I think it's marshall sound I was looking for. This now I have!
I think eventually I would offer him a small 2 * 12 (which will be 4 * 12) or directly in a 4 * 12 Celestion V30 and an analog delay.
A very good choice, I would not have done if I had listened to all those who spit on other than the marshall JCM800 2203 (not hard guys) and if I had not tried any kind of amp! I would do the same choice again.

View previous opinions Amp .. very comprehensive and well built.

UTILIZATION

Use very intuitive and simple ..
The equalization is effective in the Marshall style, and the shift and deep switches can dig the sound to a more modern register.
 Thoughtful and solid footswitch.

SOUNDS

I play in a group of Funky Blues. So I need funky clean sounds, blues sound, a nice overdrive, and a good big <a rel="nofollow" href="/guitar-distortion-overdrive-fuzz/tc-electronic/Vintage-Distortion/?utm_source=audiofanzine&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=netting&utm_content=product&utm_term=Vintage+Distortion" target="_blank">vintage distortion</a>.
And this amp does all that well. Generally speaking one must push it to make it sound well ; this is true for the&nbsp; EQ where the mediums are very important in the texture and body of sound, and true also for the presence and volume. (At least 6 in my opinion).
This amp never sounds as well as when one really pushes it, playing outdoor not mic'd for example. High volume is necessary to make the Celestion Volverine sound at their best because of their <a rel="nofollow" href="/dimarzio/high-power/?utm_source=audiofanzine&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=netting&utm_content=product&utm_term=High+Power" target="_blank">high power</a> handling.
Useful changes: To have a great sound at a lower volume I changed one HP by a V30 (more roundness, warmth and treble) and I set up a <a rel="nofollow" href="/other-accessory-for-musical-instrument/v-h-m/KT-50-kit/?utm_source=audiofanzine&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=netting&utm_content=product&utm_term=vhm+kt50+kit" target="_blank">VHM KT50 kit</a> that puts the power to 20W Class A using two EL 84 on special bases.
Advantage: the grain is really great (between Marshall and Vox) and can cranck the master just enough to make it sing without demolishing one's ears. Sooooo great !
FOR INFO: EH 12AX7 in V1, V2 JJ Tesla, TungSol in V3, V4 EH.

OVERALL OPINION

6 years without any glitch.
I love its versatility and durability.
I liked least the fact that we should really push to make it sound, but with the kit VHM and V30 is set.
It's not a JTM45 or a plexi59 or a JCM800, but well settled and with correct tubes, we can get very close to those sounds, whith a reserve of additional gain.
It's a real Marshall, as we like.
SMALL MUG SHOT: In general I do not understand people who give their opinion on the gear tried to hurry through a reseller, or worse, on the gear loaned repeated that we do not know the status lights, autres.Sur between this type of amp is obviously crucial, and that changes everything.

Amp 60 Watts lamps
3 channels: clean, crunch, lead.
Effect loop control by pdalier (CONTRL switch in and out through the rear of the amp), same for reverb (not CONTRL).
XLR line out, external speaker output for supplmentaire switch with 8 and 16 ohm.
Pdalier switch 5 provided: three switch for channels 3 + 1 + 1 loop reverb effect.

UTILIZATION

I use this amp with an Epiphone LP type upgrade with acute Gibson micro base (forget the REFERENCE) and Di Marzio Air Norton in serious (microphone that sounds a little dated but the death of this scratch!).
Recently, I also use a PRS SE Custom and I must say it sounds a HELL of this amp, so that it became my main scratch now.
Ngatif point: I use a multi purpose and can not control the channels in the patch because pedalier connecting the unit with a multi-pin plug. I had a JCM 900 100 watt front and c'tait gnial for this tip: intgrable channel amp in the patch! (Sold because the lack of tunes era: I have not! Regrets LORD, sniff!) If you have a solution, I am!!

SOUNDS

I play mostly rock and pop rock again in a group of friends and nickel rpond marshall my needs: the sound is the power too. Fit almost any sound if only one tape rglages good. Advice, and Master donf you rgler APRS channel volumes as needed and even pte serious drummer rclame a trve. Its clear for a nickel Marshall (brand I know well), even a US Telecaster sound tests over death. Crunch, great for good rock and roll gig. Lead, fucking it hard that the good! metalheads will find that the lack of precision but I love me, hahahahaha.
In short, THE TOTAL SON MARSHALL in this combo!

OVERALL OPINION

As you can see, I like the Marshall's and frankly the fact that even if I put a BMOL on the use of channel / multi-effects (see use). Important: The Bias must be well-rgl (see the notice in a clear trs post of this forum, but am not a specialist in running bcp better !!!). The amp you need for a good rock sound, clear, saturated donf and crunch! Good for metalheads, but may do better to buy a Mesa Boogie (which kills the sound but too expensive) or something like that (not likely to be of ...)
Go Kenavo good wind and the lil guy!

60-watt All Tube (4 and 2 12AX7 Svetlana EL 34)
1 output for external speaker, line out with an HP emulation, a parallel loop, a footswitch jack
3 channel clear, OD1, OD2 with EQ, gain, volume, volume and reverb loop separated.
Shift 1 switch (hollow mediums), a Deep switch (boosts bass).
BIAS ADJUSTMENT ACCESSIBLE panel arrière.Il Just remove the small rectangular plastic cover, connect a multimeter to terminals 1 and 2 and turn Knob located near (80mV recommended)
Footswitch for 3 channels, reverb and loop.
For me, nothing is missing.
The build quality is very bonne.L the rear of the amplifier is particularly well protégé.Pas any extraneous vibration, even at very high volume.

UTILIZATION

The EQ is quite effective. (No sound happens if the knobs are at zero).
In addition, the Shift and Deep switches can switch between a vintage sound to a modern sound.
It has access to a range of sounds fairly complete, depending on the guitar and the selected setting.
Marshall always typed anyway.
Minimalist manual.

SOUNDS

With good lights (he deserves it!), Well settled, is the surprise:
The clean sound is very successful, according to flapping smooth adjustments and the guitar.
This is not the sound Fender but anything goes, from the casserole dirty funky blues.
With the saturation found the Marshall sound.
the OD1 is perfect for rhythm and riffs to the TDCA.
the OD2 product saturations very melodious and powerful, without going through metal.
Contrary to an opinion read below, the loop works perfectly, and allows easy assay mixture with its dry and its effect.
In addition the amplifier supports very well the distortion pedals.
Completed a 2X12 cabinet with Celestion V30 in, that is happiness.

OVERALL OPINION

Soon 8 years and reweighed scene without the slightest glitch.
Purists, addicts "It was better before" and still probably miss the good old (excellent) JCM 800 ..
Still, the guitar "all terrain", his love of Marshall, will easily find their happiness with this combo reliable, well built, well equipped, versatile, powerful but not too much, and what one says is well within the spirit and sound of the brand.

Incidentally take a look at:

It is in English but you learn lots of things and the notes speak for themselves ..
