I sound like the best "me" I can through that amp.Sounds nice. They're somewhat rare, since they didn't make a whole lot of them, and the company folded a decade or two back, but I love mine. King and Ty Tabor of King's X, of which Dan Pearce also had a hand in designing before starting his own company.

Their lineage comes from the Gibson Lab Series amps, which were used by people like B.B. They are also solid state, which will raise some eyebrows, but I think they're as good as any boutique tube amp, without the problems that accompany tubes. These were endorsed by Torn, Holdsworth, Montrose, etc., to give you an idea of the diverse tones that could be created. FX loops for each channel, and a stereo main loop, along with onboard Alesis effects (which I hardly ever use). That mid control provides incredible versatility to voice the channels as you want them the two are voiced already as sort of a Marshall and a Fender channel. The Pearce amp (I'm using the G2r, two channels and stereo 200W) has two channels, 3-band EQ with a semi-parametric mid that comes BEFORE the distortion (bass & treble are after).

The really high gain sounds just seem too muddy.ĭo Pearce amps tend to do just one or two sounds well or are they more versatile? I'm not familiar with them.The Pearce amp (I'm using the G2r, two channels and stereo 200W) has two channels, 3-band EQ with a semi-parametric mid that comes BEFORE the distortion (bass & treble are after). I went back and listened to the samples of the Mesa/Boogie 5:25 Express on the Sweetwater site and this time I wasn't as impressed. My little Marshall Valvestate is definitely bright and, as you say, it doesn't do much except bright and brighter. and you can get them to sound pretty similar to a Marshall if you want to.Very interesting - thanks for the insight. The tone controls sweep through a bigger frequency range on them. After that, I changed my rider to request it instead. At one gig, the backline company didn't have any, but they had a Mesa Triple Recto. I used to use Marshall TSLs with the band I tour with. The midrange is voiced so high it's almost like an additional treble control. The thing about Marshalls is that they go from pretty bright to ear-piercingly bright. If you're thinking about a Marshall, I think the DSL is the best choice, at least if you don't need more than two channels. It seems the more complicated the preamp, the less toneful overall (or at least that seems to be the case with Marshalls). The 2 channel DSL sounds better than the 3 channel TSL, which sounds better than the 4 channel JVM. and you can get them to sound pretty similar to a Marshall if you want to. But what do I know? I use a Pearce.The 2 channel DSL sounds better than the 3 channel TSL, which sounds better than the 4 channel JVM. I like the Marshall lead tone, but I've not found them to be very versatile. Part of that Marshall tone is the 4x12" Celestion box, though. Re: Marshall DSL: If you're looking for the Marshall sound, it'll do it.
