Well I've had a DSL401 since 2000 (1999 build) :-
Pre-amp tube heater rectifier changed under warranty after 2.5 years;
I broke and had to resolder the channel switch skt about 3 years ago;
I recently had to resolder the reverb pot connections;
Changed the power amp tubes for JJ's in 2002;
Made a matching 1x12 cab (GT12-75) a couple of years ago.
Just use the stock speaker in the combo itself.
Have played out with it solidly for just under 6 years now and just love it for tone. It's loud enough for pubs and clubs (have MV at about 7, channel gains at about 3, OD Vol at about 7).
I think that the 'doesn't have any decent tone' comments are bollocks unless you want something other than classic blues/rock sounds. It don't do modern rock sounds, but that's fine with me.
Try one out....
