You bought a DSL and I thought you were set on reissue JCM800. Very different amp but it has very nice tone also. Not as bright as the 800 but that's not a bad thing. In my area 100 watt heads are tough to give away because the bars don't want real loud music. Myself, well, there are certain sounds that can only be made when the amp pushes enough air to wrinkle you pant legs. Rock on.

If I had the budget, I'd have gotten a JCM 800 reissue. And I'd probably own a Les Paul Custom too.
 
Seeing that I'm not touring w/ Elton John or Shania Twain, this more modest set up is more than adequate. :)
 
This one does 50W/100W. 
 
I haven't played it as much as I would have wanted - news of the attacks on Paris when I arrived home with it really put a damper and made me quite nauseous on what was going to be a very happy day, me finally getting the amp I've wanted for so long.
 
But from the bit of time I've spent playing, I'm really loving the classic gain channel. The modern gain, I'm not yet so sure, I'll have to spend more time on it I guess.
 
The cleans are lovely - I love Marshall cleans.
 
Clint: It's a DSL. 2 channels, all tubes, no DSP, only reverb. :)

Very sweet, Rain! And my experiences with sweetwater re very similar! Love them!

I'm sure the DSL will meet all your needs Rain. It can kick some serious ass. As for your LP, they are all very similar guitars with the exception of bling. Rather than buying a better LP just focus on the pick-ups. I had the Duncan custom shop make my last set and the difference is huge. Of course I also think that an aluminium tailpiece makes every Les Paul sound better so YMMV.
 
Enjoy that rig!

Oh, I'm fine with the LP. I mean, cosmetically, yeah, the Custom is incredible. But I've had the opportunity to play with well-adjusted, fine guitars and expensive ones at that - and I wouldn't trade my Studio for any of them TBH. The neck is amazing.
 
Though eventually, I might explore the possibility of swapping pick-ups, I can't say that I find anything wrong with the current ones (498's, if I'm not mistaken).
 
Ironic that I can spend so much time agonizing over the sound of a kick in a mix, but I'm most happy with practically anything that ressembles what you'd call "a Les Paul through a Marshall" type of tones. I really don't have a set idea of what I want otherwise - as long as I'm in that comfort zone, in that range, I'm happy.

Nice rig, Krist!

Nice rig man and I'm glad you and the wife are better.
You were saying that GC is a painful experience for you.. I've had similar.  It's a painful experience even BEFORE I step foot in the store.  Same ole same ole.  You go in there and they either 1) don't have what you were looking for or 2) didn't know it was on sale and can't find the matching part...LOL 
 
Sweetwater has been a much better experience with emphasis on customer service.  Only wish they had a brick and mortar in California.
 
Again, can't wait to hear your new rig in action!

LOL
 
I rarely leave the house, ever, so my visits to GC are exceptional occurrences. And every single time I go, I make sure to check on their web site whether they have what I want in store. In this case, the closest GC did not, but the one downtown did.
 
Still... Mismatching head and cab, not knowing about the bundle deal and having misplaced the foot switch... That's a lot. :P
 
But I'm loving the rig, I saved a few $ and it spared me the looooooooong wait (4 or 5 days, I suppose).

That's a great looking rig.
