I purchased a Marshall TSL 122 four days ago. It just arrived today and I got home and hooked it up and played it all afternoon.
This amp sounds absolutely great with every style. I purchased a Marshall TSL 122 four days ago. It just arrived today and I got home and hooked it up and played it all afternoon. This amp sounds absolutely great with every style of music I play, and I am amazed with how such a big sound comes out of such a small amp! I also have a TSL 100 Half Stack, and the TSL 122 to me, sounds better than the TSL 100! This is probably due to the fact that the TSL 122 has two different speakers. It gets a great clean sound, a great crunch sound, and a great dirty solo sound!
Infact, it is the only amp out of the 25 amps I own that can match the lead sound that Slash of Guns N roses uses on Sweet Child O Mine! If you are looking to buy an amp that sounds great, I would strongly advise you to take a look at the TSL 122, however since they have been discontinued, they are very hard to find. But, if you are in the market to buy an amp that will blow you and everyone you play for away, definitely look at the TSL 122!
Keep looking Had to play this as the house amp at a gig last week. I own a Mesa Rectoverb, Blue Angel, a Peavey Classic 50, and a Crate V-series V-50 to currently compare. Had to play this as the house amp at a gig last week. I own a Mesa Rectoverb, Blue Angel, a Peavey Classic 50, and a Crate V-series V-50 to currently compare this to. I have also owned the JCM2000 DSL401 several years ago that had enormous reliablity issues.When I tweaked and worked with this amplifier, I was astounded with it's inability to get any real warmth or depth. I usually like a middle of the road rock sound and I don't need chimey cleans, so I thought using this at our gig wouldn't be too bad.
This amplifier sounds dead on the cleans, and the crunch/drive channel is putrid. It's a very thin, 1 dimensional, fizzy tone at all volumes. EQ/Gain adjustments did not help either. I was able to tell that it wasn't having tube issues, and the owner said he had re-tubed and re-biased it last month. Plane Games Tu 46 Hacked Game. For the money, this amp is an atrocity, and if you want brit tone with crunch, dimension, warmth, and good cleans (pristine and/or gritty) Look at the Mesa Stiletto Ace combo much better value tone-wise, and reliability-wise for less money. Marshall is done, stick a fork in them. I purchased a Marshall TSL 122 four days ago.

Nothing can compare to Marshall's JCM 2000 TSL 122. Pure & Simple, this amp can do it all.The amp has so much Warmth & Bass.
My Hollow Body gets amazing Jazz/Blue Tones. I can literally play a bass guitar on this Amp and it sounds better than any other Bass amp I've used.Power? This Amp doesn't break up at any high volume level.
In fact, It sounds better louder. Distortion is the selling point of Marshall. It's what makes ANY Marshall stand out. And the Amp doesn't disappoint. Put this distortion against any Fender. It's not even a fight.
Plus you get 2 overdrive channels.However, I do agree. The price isn't pretty. But you won't get any better Modern day. This is the very first Marshall amplifier I have ever bought in the 37 years I have been playing guitar. I have owned a Fender Twin for many years, a Laney AOR through the 80s and 90s, and a Mesa Dual Rectifier half stack since 2001.
Let me say the first time I powered up this combo I was impressed with it's power, sweet reverb, and authentic benchmark Marshall crunch. I was thirsting for a bit more gain compared to the Mesa. After reading Technical remarks about this amps stock tubes, I retubed the amp with Groove Tubes, set the bias to GT's recommendations (I am an Avionics Electronics Technician) and presto!
My used 1999 TSL122 kills! The clean channel is bell like Fender with more body, the second channel you can set for that classic 80s 90s crunch and the third channel I get an awesome singing quality.
The 3 channel format is the only way to go when playing out. It is a brut to lug around but well worth the effort.
Reliablity seems to be a large concern, I recommend proper warm up before playing and cool off period before moving after gig. Tubes are sensitive, treat them well and you'll be rewarded. I love my TSL, the Mesa hardly ever gets attention now. This was a good amp for me, I wanted a dark sounding amp with a lot of crunch, and sustain for leads, etc.
I usually use the Lead and Crunch channels. I rarely use the clean channel.
I play slide guitar, and it sounds good on this amp. I use an Epiphone Dot 335 copy and a 1970 Gibson les Paul Deluxe with old DiMarzios, and I get a real good Rock and Blues sound. It has a foot switch, and what I generally do is, play rhythm on the Crunch Channel, and when a lead comes up, switch to the Lead Channel set at a higher volume.
I would suggest getting a power Conditioner with this amp. Without the Conditioner, this amp is too noisy.
I bought a Trip-Lite. I hear the Furmans are good also. I wish this amp came with Echo, or Slap Delay.
I wish Marshall could make these lighter, this Bad Boy is HEAVY! This is my first Marshall amp and it's an amazing piece of musical equipment. I've always wanted a Marshall. Now I have one. I got it used of course for a great price. The TSL model was made from 1997-2007 I believe.
Mine is a 2000 model. I opened it up and inspected the PCB and its a rev. 5 board, meaning it has the new PCB material and the correct resistors installed - no runaway bias! For an older amp mine is in good condition.
The TSL series in general is a fantastic generation of Marshall amps. The TSL has three separate channels - clean, crunch and lead. All three have separate EQ settings, and are foot switchable. The clean channel is very good, nice and clean, and doesn't break up unless the gain is really cranked (and I have my guitar volume on 10). The crunch channel is where I play most often and it has an excellent vintage sounding distortion when the gain is low (9 o'clock) and the guitar volume is rolled back.
Higher gain is available for those who want a more modern crunch sound. I like it at low gain on this channel. The lead channel has a lot of gain on tap - more than I would normally use.
I keep the gain low (7 o'clock) and the guitar volume moderate (6-7) and I get a nice searing lead sound that's not over the top. At higher gain settings with the treble turned up past noon the channel sounds fuzzy. I'm sure if I cranked the volume to maximum it would flatten out a bit but at moderate volume (12 noon on the Volume) it's too fuzzy for me at anything other than low gain. To each is their own. I am impressed with the overall versatility of amp and the great tone. I have a wide range of sounds available with the three channels and use of my guitar's volume pot. With the volume rolled back I can get the lead channel to clean up nicely, a rarity for a high gain amp.
Overall this is a flexible amp with great tone. I am very happy with the sound I get out of amp and would absolutely buy it again. Played with a standard tele today, and it sounds sweet through this amp. Like I read on one of the other reviews, add just a touch of gain and it sounds just like a nashville.
I have never played on a quality tube amp before, and now I dont think I will ever be able to go solid again. Really awesome tone. Wasn't able to fully utilize all of the options on it, oweing to that fact that all I have is an acoustic, but I love to spend all afternoon playing guitars at guitar center. I have now decided on the next combination of amp and guitar I buy. It will be a tele, and if not this amp, it will be another, cheaper marshall tube amp. Great sound, just a hare bit expensive, but all great amps are, so I guess it's a compromise. So many Marshalls, so little money!
Out of the wide selection of Marshalls now availalble, the TSL-122 Combo stands out. Start with 3 channels with infinite adjustablitly. From squeaky clean to low down and dirty, it's all there. Even jazz and country tones are beautifully done!
Of course that lovely, earth-shaking Marshall roar is just dying to come out, and with the Virtual Power Reduction you can achieve it without actually deafening a 3 block radius. Comunicaciones Digitales Bernard Sklar Pdf Merge. There's so much good stuff going on it's hard to get to it all! 2 effects loops, independant presence, reverb and fx mix for each channel, tone shift, deep switches.All this points to the effort Marshall has put into making this amp truly great.
The finishing touch on the combo is the 2 different Celestion speakers, one Heritage and one Vintage. They give the combo a fullness of tone that the head with a 4x12 simply cannot match. If you need 4 speakers, I highly recommend getting the TSLC-212 extension cab. It has the same speakers as the amp, and makes a great sounding amp truly awesome! I've played this amp a few times as our other guitarist has it. I have the tsl100 stack myself and must say I was impressed at the output of this combo, and seriously easy to move around. The sound output is very similar to the big brother, just slightly less volume but even on 4 its plenty loud for any local venue.
The only downside has been some reliability issues, and several blown fuses. While not having the visual appeal of the half stack on stage, it redeems itself through the big sound that comes from this small box. If it was more reliable it would be perfect. Basically, I'm writing this review cause after reading a few comments here I think someone have to say something on behalf of the TSL122.Mine works fine, looks great and sounds great!! It's a proper Marshall, it's loud, heavy and I can assure you that as soon as you plug your guitar you'll get a dumb smile in your face.I used to have a Marshall Valvestate I (8080) but this baby is the real thing.Pure Valve/tube tone!!
The only thing that I could point out is the rattling noise I get when I move/transport my amp (sounds like something is loose inside) but other than that I think the features and the tone are just what a guitar player needs. Do yourself a favor and try one. I bought this Marshall trusting the brand and considering the two thousand bucks I threw at it I though I was getting a top of the line amp.
WROOONG!This amp is the most unreliable of them all, mine droped half of its volume in the middle of a gig, after that, I send it to the shop. And guess what. It did it again!!! This second time just shut off out of the blue.leaving me in a big 'air guitar' act. Two bad gigs were enough.
I bough a Fender Blues and is being an excelent working horse.Crunch and lead channels are good but the Clean channel is kind of coarse.For 2k bucks I'll suggest to check other more reliable options. I'm done with Marshalls.
We get a constant flow of e-mail from CHP readers asking about the availability of a kit to install a five- or six-speed manual trans into a G-body. Based on a rear-wheel-drive configuration, GM produced these mid-size full-frame cars from 1978-88 (depending on model) as A-bodies (1978-81). From 1982-88, they were known as G-body platforms. Regardless of reference, there is no question that they're a great alternative to the high-priced musclecars of the '60s. Since GM made only a handful of these cars with manual transmissions during the late-'70s, today, gathering old GM parts to make the conversion is just about impossible.
Even at that, you'd have to find an overdrive transmission designed to withstand modern power. Well, there's good news. Keisler Automotive Engineering has just released a complete kit that includes factory-appearing clutch and brake pedals and most of all the other parts you'll need to convert your automatic car to a fun-driving manual-tranny ride, be it a five-or six-speed Tremec transmission. Last year, we featured Keisler's swap kits for Camaros, Novas, and Chevelles in our June and July issues.
During the Hot Rod Power Tour 2004, we got to drive several cars with Keisler's kits, including its awesome '65 Maximum Overdrive Corvette and Don Turner's sleeper COPO clone '69 Chevelle (Oct. These cars drove as though they came from the General equipped with the modern overdrive due to Keisler's system engineering approach to transmission swaps. Starting with a new Tremec TKO 500/600 five-speed or T56 six-speed, Keisler completely redesigns the shifter mechanism, case, and mounting configuration to allow the transmission to properly retrofit the body style, and places the shifter position in the correct factory location-a very important point for most owners. The company also includes a custom-welded box-construction crossmember, Spicer chromoly steel lightweight driveshaft, speedometer cable and driven gear, isolator mount, roller pilot bearing, hardware kit, and illustrated instructions. Its patented internal offset shifter with removable billet shifter mechanism actually fits within the original floor tunnel-a feat unachievable with a bone-stock Tremec TKO. Clearly, Keisler has set the standard for Tremec swaps.The featured '87 El Camino for the installation belongs to Jim Loveday of Knoxville, Tennessee. Originally equipped with a 200-4R overdrive automatic, Jim had longed for more performance and a bit more excitement to go with it.
He wanted a manual transmission with overdrive to put more power to the ground and get more control over engine rpm while still having the benefits of quiet, low-rpm highway cruising. Jim opted for Keisler's 550hp five-speed kit, which is based on the Tremec TKO500 and GM ZZ4 crate engine. With the ingredients in place, he took the car to Keisler's local installation facility, B&M Automotive, where owners Bob Marshall and Tom Carden took care of the upgrade. Because Jim's car was an automatic, the changeover to the straight shift required more parts than just the five-speed kit. Again, Keisler had prepared all of the requiredparts to make the swap a straightforward affair. This included: a new super-duty titanium-aluminum 11-inch bellhousing, a flywheel, a modern pedal effort clutch, a clutch and brake pedals, a complete hydraulic bearing kit with a direct-fit master cylinder, a chrome shifter handle with a knob, and a boot and trim ring.
With the car on the rack, the entire swap-from removing the exhaust, automatic transmission and shifter to installing the complete five-speed kit with accessories-took 14 hours to complete. Follow along as Keisler and B&M change this lazy grocery-getter to a performance street hauler. Keisler has even reproduced a super-duty version of the highly sought-after '621' 11-inch clutch housing.
Using the newer titanium-aluminum alloys with thick walls, this bellhousing won't crack under reasonable pressure. The modern CNC machining produces a high-precision, perfect-fit part. This replaces the existing four-speed bellhousing and is a great way to upgrade from a 10.5-inch clutch to an 11- or 12-inch pressure-plate assembly. Chrome and Chevy Orange powdercoated versions are also available. The transmission is assembled with the hydraulic bearing at Keisler's. The hydraulic bearing's internal spring will keep the bearing in constant contact with the clutch fingers, thus self-adjusting for clutch disc wear and providing a consistent clutch release at the pedal.
The hydraulic bearing has a long life, is sealed in several locations from contaminates, is rated for race duty, and has quick releases without lag. In the G-body, this hydraulic kit makes the conversion process from an automatic much easier because it does away with mechanical linkage that is usually difficult to locate and install. If you have a factory stick-shift G-body, Keisler's kit will work fine with it and retains the original mechanical linkage. Installing an overdrive transmission makes a huge difference in highway comfort, engine wear, and fuel economy.
Keisler illustrates this in its 'Best of Both Worlds' speed table. Engine rpm at highway speeds are approximately one-third less. This means 4,000 versus 2,500 rpm with the 0.64:1 ratio OD. You will actually be able to carry on a conversation without yelling!
Keisler states most customers report a huge fuel-economy improvement. The company's own Maximum Overdrive Corvette gets 25 mpg on the highway with 3.73:1 gears.
