I'm looking for a Marshall Cabinet for my newly aquired 3203 - It origianlly paired with a 4x10 but am wondering how it will sound with a 2X12 and also - will just any footswitch do? I think the answer on that last one is yes but I am not sure.

Hello, I purchased the DSL40C and MX212 Cabinet. I know the Speaker in the combo is 16-ohms. I also know the speakers in the MX212 are wired for 8-ohms. I know if I use the cabinet, I can't use the speaker in the combo together. My question is, has anybody ever put an 8-ohm speaker in the combo? I am thinking that two 8-ohm loads would give me a 3x12 config for extra beef! Would this work, and would the amp still sound just as good if I used it alone (to take to jam sessions) on the 8-ohm output? Thanks   

Hello, I know this has been covered here and I have read all of the messages, but I would like some newer feedback regarding my newly purchased DSL40C implimented with a Line 6 POD 2.0.

I realize you can't shut off amp modeling and that to achieve the least amount of colorization, and preserve my Marshall tone as much as possible, I should set the POD 2.0 to Tube Preamp, and EQs to 12 o-clock, which shuts off Cabinet Simulation.   I want to use the POD 2.0 because it has a bunch of presets I use, which I will modify and it gives me multi effects with a Pedal. 

How should I route this, given the effects send on the DSL40C is probably line level, and has no attenuator. The POD 2.0 has instrument in and I presume Instrument out. I know it will run -10 and +4 when using TRS. I will say I don't see any documentation on the DSL40C loop. 

This is my first Marshall setup and need advice from you gurus.

Any and all advice is appreciated.

Thanks so much!
