Marshall DSL1CR PreAmp 2026

## Marshall DSL1CR Preamp 2026 This collection contains Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) captures of the preamp signal from a Marshall DSL1CR valve amplifier, recorded directly from the amplifier's FX Send. Unlike our companion **Marshall DSL1CR 2026** collection, which captures the complete amplifier, internal speaker and Shure SM57 microphone response, these captures are taken from the FX Send output. The power amplifier, internal speaker and microphone are therefore excluded from the recording signal path. The objective is to explore the character and response of the DSL1CR preamp independently, allowing the resulting NAM models to be used with external power amplifiers, cabinet simulations and impulse responses. ### Capture methodology The amplifier was driven using a Cubase-generated test sweep, routed through a Radial X-Amp reamping device into the DSL1CR's guitar input. The FX Send output was connected to a MOTU M2 audio interface and recorded into Cubase. Recordings were made at 48 kHz / 24-bit mono WAV. The amplifier was operated in 1W mode, with settings and capture configurations documented alongside the individual models. ### Signal chain Cubase → MOTU M2 → Radial X-Amp → Marshall DSL1CR guitar input → DSL1CR preamp / FX Send → MOTU M2 → Cubase. ### Intended use These models are designed to provide the DSL1CR's preamp character as part of a modular guitar rig. They can be paired with external cabinet simulations, IR loaders, power amplifiers, FRFR systems or suitable monitoring equipment. For example, a NAM preamp capture can be combined with external overdrive, modulation and time-based effects, followed by a cabinet simulation such as a Two Notes C.A.B. M+. ### Available capture configurations The collection includes clean reference captures and progressively more driven configurations, recorded with the amplifier operating in 1W The 1W captures include: - Clean amplifier reference, without the pedalboard in the signal path. - Clean signal through the pedalboard. - Origin Effects compressor. - Origin Effects compressor and Wampler Plexi-Drive Deluxe. - Origin Effects compressor, Wampler Plexi-Drive Deluxe and Boss SD-1. An additional capture explores the effect of increasing the Wampler's volume setting within the combined pedal configuration. Individual model names identify the relevant pedal configuration and operating mode. Where applicable, pedal settings are documented alongside the captures.
