Ah yes the notorious DSL 100. I have the DSL 50, heres the problem with these heads and what they are known or use to be known for.
1. Spring reverb tank fails after a while and not to long after. Replaced tank then its the circuit board inside. Mine is already gone. So I just pulled cable, and use external reverb pedal. you will find this issue on many forums with these heads.

2. Crappy solder jobs on them (Circuit Boards). I had my head looked at and cleaned up, again what the old ones were known for.

Otherwise, they are very versatile and can play any kind of music from Clean Jazz to Heavy dropped Metal. I love my head so much due to tone I want another one, but mine is an old original and I have KT77's in it.
