1. INPUT
Input jack socket for guitar cable.
CLASSIC GAIN CHANNEL
–––––––––––––––––––––––
TONAL NOTE: This channel is based on the
“Clean” mode of the DSL100H’s Classic Gain
channel – producing a tone reminiscent of an early
1959 Plexi Super Lead head.
2. CLASSIC GAIN CHANNEL GAIN CONTROL
Controls the Gain level for the Classic Gain
channel. As the amount of gain increases, so will
the distortion level in your sound.
3. CLASSIC GAIN CHANNEL VOLUME CONTROL
Controls the volume level for the Classic Gain
channel.
4. CLASSIC GAIN CHANNEL LED
This LED lights-up green to indicate that the
Classic Gain channel has been selected.
5. CHANNEL SELECTION BUTTON
Selects Ultra Gain channel when pushed in, and
the Classic Gain channel when out.
ULTRA GAIN CHANNEL
–––––––––––––––––––––––––
TONAL NOTE: This channel is based on the
“Lead 2” mode of the DSL100H’s Ultra Gain
channel – producing a high-gain, mid-boosted
tone based on a hot-rodded JCM800 2203.
6. ULTRA GAIN CHANNEL LED
This LED lights-up red to indicate that the Ultra
Gain channel has been selected.
7. ULTRA GAIN CHANNEL GAIN CONTROL
Controls the Gain level for the Ultra Gain channel.
As the amount of gain increases, so will the
distortion level in your sound.
8. ULTRA GAIN CHANNEL VOLUME CONTROL
Controls the volume level for the Ultra Gain
channel.
1. MAINS INPUT SOCKET WITH MAINS FUSE
Your amp is provided with a detachable mains (power)
lead, which is connected here. The specific mains
input voltage rating that your amplifier has been
manufactured for is indicated on the rear panel. Before
connecting for the first time, please ensure that your
amplifier is compatible with your electricity supply.
If you have any doubt, please seek advice from a
qualified technician. Your Marshall dealer will help you
in this respect.
OUTPUT POWER SELECTION
––––––––––––––––––––––
2. PENTODE/TRIODE SWITCH
When Pentode (full power) is selected the amp’s
output capability is the full 15-Watts. When Triode
mode (half power) is selected, the amp’s output is
halved to 7.5 -Watts. Triode mode also produces a
smoother, less aggressive sound.
IMPORTANT OPERATIONAL NOTE: The amp must
always be off before switching between Triode and
Pentode.
FOOTSWITCH
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
3. FOOTSWITCH JACK
For the connection of the supplied footswitch. This
allows you to switch between the Classic Gain and
Ultra Gain channels.
NOTE: The footswitch overrides the front panel
Channel switch.

9. TONE SHIFT BUTTON
The Tone Shift reconfigures the tone network to give
a new dimension to passive tone shaping. When the
button is pushed in, and the Middle control (11) is
turned down, the result is an aggressive, scooped-
mid sound, ideal for many modern metal styles.
10. TREBLE CONTROL
Controls the high frequencies of the guitar tone,
making your guitar sound brighter when it is turned
clockwise.
11. MIDDLE CONTROL
This dictates the middle register of your guitar’s
sound. Turning this up will make your guitar
sound fatter, while turning it down will result in a
sharper, “scooped” tone – especially when used in
conjunction with the Tone Shift button.
12. BASS CONTROL
Controls the amount of bottom end (low frequencies)
in your tone.
13. PRESENCE CONTROL
Turning this control clockwise adds higher
frequencies to your guitar tone, creating crispness
and bite and making the sound more cutting and
“in your face.” This is a function of the powerstage.
14. DEEP BUTTON
When pressed in, this switch adds a resonant
bass boost to your sound, increasing bottom end
thud while making your tone fatter around that
all-important low end. This is a function of the
power-stage.
REVERB SECTION
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
15. REVERB CONTROL
Controls the level of the studio-quality, digital spring
Reverb for both channels.
POWER SECTION
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
16. POWER SWITCH
On/Off switch for mains power to the amplifier.
LOUDSPEAKER OUTPUTS
–––––––––––––––––––––––
IMPORTANT OPERATIONAL NOTE: With all-valve
amplifiers it is imperative that the amp is connected
to a load whilst in operation and that the impedance
output(s) on the amp matches the total impedance
of the speaker cabinet(s) being used. Failure to
comply with these points will result in damage to
the amplifier.
The DSL15C features three outputs, a dedicated
16Ω output and two 8Ω outputs.
The DSL15C must not be run into an impedance
less than 8Ω.
IMPORTANT OPERATIONAL NOTE: The internal
speaker is 16Ω.
4. & 5. 8Ω SPEAKER OUTPUTS
For use when the total impedance of the speaker
cabinet(s) being used is 8Ω. That is, when using
either a single 8Ω cab or two 16Ω cabs.
6. 16Ω SPEAKER OUTPUT
For the connection of a 16Ω speaker cabinet. It
should be noted that when this Speaker Output is in
use the remaining Speaker Outputs (4 & 5) are not
operational.
