Marshall Class 5 Valve Combo Guitar Amplifier FREE DELIVERY

For a limited time only, get a FREE Whirlwind SL25 25' Guitar Cable (worth £26.99) with this amplifier! 

Look quickly and you might mistake the Class 5 combo for Marshall's own Bluesbreaker range, with its sparse back-to basics looks and simplistic control panel. Aside from the guitar input, there are only 4 controls which are (from left to right) VOLUME, BASS, MIDDLE, and TREBLE... the only other cosmetics on the control panel are the Class 5 Logo, activation LED and the ON/OFF toggle switch.

Essentially the idea behind this amp is to create that great throaty Marshall sound of "everything turned up to 11", but at a reasonable and controlable volume - hence the reason why the amp is only rated at 5 watts output. However, its performance is enhanced by the fact that the Marshall Class 5 uses 100% pure valve tone with 2 x ECC83 Pre-Amp valves and 1 x EL84 Power Amp valve - and as anyone who's ever played a valve amp before will know, 5W from a valve amp is still plenty loud for most situations bar thrash metal gigs!

The speaker was specially designed and manufactured for this amp by Celestion, and is a 10" 16 Ohm G10F-15. The amp also has a headphone output for quiet rehearsal opportunities, along with an extension speaker output for when you want to beef up the tonal response even more!

A modern-day monster tone machine from the kings of british valve amplification... perfect for tone enthusiasts who like their ear drums intact!

So there we all were... huddled together in Ronnie Scotts, eagerly awaiting the launch of the new Marshall Class 5 Combo Valve Amp with none other than legendary guitarist Joe Bonamassa about to put this little beauty (or should I say beauties - he had 8 of 'em stacked together!) through its paces. We could see a stack of amps on stage, shrouded under the cover of a huge union jack flag until the time came for Marshall to proudly whip off the flag and reveal their new masterpiece...

 

I can testify that Joe Bonamassa gave a masterclass performance using the Class 5 combo along with his own Gibson Signature model Les Paul and a smokin' hot band. The Class 5 will delight guitarists everywhere - particularly  tone nerds that will only entertain true valve amp performance! Equally at home in the studio as in the rehearsal hall, if I were you I'd be placing my name on the pre-order list for when these little beauties arrive in late August 2009!
