Hi,

I'm new to the forum, i was just wondeirng out of curiosity what the presence tone knob actually does, obviously it alters the sound but what is actually going on?

I have a DSL100 and play punk/pop/metal shit and i use it on my lead channel, but i've never really figured out why i use it, haha.

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks,

Also, just to add to the TSL/DSL argument. i had a TSL100 but sold it to replace with the DSL100, for some reason the TSL100 didn't cut if for me when playing ska/clean bits in a band, the sound was just unbeleivably muddy, yet i adore the clean on the DSL, weird huh? i can't remember if the TSL had dual tone settings, i think it did - this is definately a plus as i would love dual settings on the DSL, but even with dual settings on the TSL i couldn't create the clean sound i wanted.

Cya
