yeah i played the JCM200 DSL 50 in a musiclab store in chicago, i loved that amp, one of the better marshalls i have played, though the DSL401 sound similar they aren't the same, the DSL401s are a bit "thicker" IMO not bassier, just not quite as thin sounding as the DSL 50s and 100s are. most marshalls take to pedals pretty well, but an distortion pedal on a marshall is kind of a waste of a marshall lol, you can get better overdrive tones from the amp itself than any pedal is going to give you on the clean channel, overdriving the dirty channel is a different thing, but sticking a RAT, or DS-1 or what have you on the clean channel is sacrilegious...... some day I'll have me a DSL50 and a 4X12..... I'll also have a JCM800, and JMP lol, might have a 8 foot shlong too........ LMAO
