Apparently its arrived at home.  I'm at work.  T minus 5 hrs to unboxing....

I've just put in an order for the DSL5R!

You'll have to let me know how the 40 watt one sounds though.

Interested to hear your thoughts on this.... Happy (hopefully) new amp day!

Knowing @fastonebaz , £10 says it's back in the post by the end of the week.

haha @Lebarque we'll see!

So far, only had 5 mins on it, but already I can tell it's way more fun and versatile that the other amps I've been trying.  I think this might be a keeper.

I need more time to get familiar with it, but already I've found it easy to dial in lush cleans, roarty rhythm and searing lead tones and with more setup time I'm sure I can fine "my tone".

I can only hope my 5 watt version pleases me the same tomorrow!

Well @Lebarque you were right..... although, I'm only sending it back as it had a fault.  An audible (fairly loud) crackling noise could be heard even with all knobs at 0.  Couldn't possibly record with it.  Let's hope the replacement is better.

This doesn't sound good, I hope it doesn't become a pattern.

Ruh-roh!

So the replacement will be staying?!

We'll find out later this week if the new one is staying or not.
