Ok, Myles I've got a couple or three questions for you.
I just got Marshall DSL 100 head last week, the shop had just sold 4 or 6 of the 4x12 cabs so I can't get a new cab for another week or 2. Therefore I have to use the 4x12 from my old Crate half stack. The cab is set at 4 ohms and I have the head set for 4 ohms but I thought the head would be louder than my old head. Does the resistance in the amp change how much wattage the head will deliver to the amp?
Secondly, the level switch for the effects loop, does the switch need to be in or out for pedals? The manual doesn't say, I do notice a difference in volume but I can't tell which way it should be.
And finally, which Marshall cab is the best to get to go with this head? I am really impressed with the clean tone and I get lots of headroom from the amp. I also like the distorted sound but I am not getting that infinite sustain feed back that I like to play with, any suggestions? Am I not driving the power tubes engough?
Thanks,
Kevin
