I have friends who modify amps and constantly tweak them, and try, among other things, to recreate very specific sounds - such as EVH's Brown Sound. They're trading schematics and talking in a lingo I barely can make any sense of.
I just love the Marshall sound, you know? If I plug my guitar in and find myself in that ballpark, I can find my way wherever I want from there. Which is why I know I'll probably be okay with the DSL (I have yet to go try one).
Maybe it's heresy, as us guitar players are supposed to be overly anal about our tone.
Me, I can dig all of those amps. At the end, unfortunately, I always sound like myself. :P
