On a lighter note, dear friend, fellow board member, and absolute lunatic @stonge noticed I was getting DSL- and P90-curious, so he brought me a pile of Marshall-friendly pedals, and two otherwise identical guitars - one with humbuckers and one with P90s! So whatever head(s) I wind up keeping, I have a little Marshall tone construction kit here.
Thank you thank you!

I mean, I prefer the DSL20, but they're very different amps.
I've never owned a Marshall, and this thing is collecting dust while I play my Mark V. I feel like a DSL has so much of its own thing going on that I'd play it more than I do the Invective, and I gotta dip my toes in Marshall land someday.
It would be very different than both the V and the Invective, so it'd be a cool compliment to the V. It's still pretty high gain, but can do a lot on the Classic channel; either cleans, or gained up "AC/DC" style crunch. Even more so with a boost/OD. I wish they'd have made it as flexible as the 100/40, given that it's not all that much cheaper, but it is what it is.
Bingo
Why they don't make a smallbox DSL40HR is beyond me. That would be an insane head.
I almost replied "if I find a 40C for a decent price it may end up becoming a head" lmao
Not sure where you're at, but Stagecraft makes a nice headshell for it. I've thought about it many times.
stagecraftgear.com
and after seeing a bunch used for cheap (400 near me) I think I’m gonna list the invective.
