Members Mr R Gecko Posted July 19, 2010 Members Share Posted July 19, 2010 Anyone here got one? Played one? Any opinions on it? I'm looking for a small amp to have around the house and it seems quite cool for the money. For the same kinda cash, I could get a Spider Valve 2x12 I guess and have fx built in but they seemed to get very mixed reviews... Thoughts?

I use a Marshall Class 5, and it is killer in the sense that it has a traditional Marshall tone at only 5 watts. The headphone out feature is cool as well. You have options as I actually powered a 4/12 speaker cab with this little guy and it ruled. In comparison to the Spider, well there really is no comparison, as they are two separate animals. The Spider has modeling and built in effects for versatility, but the Class 5 is a real British built Marshall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sandvich Posted July 19, 2010 Members Share Posted July 19, 2010 IT has no Master Volume, yet bizarrely a headphone out. This is kind of {censored}ty since I don't like using headphones. They should have just put a Master volume on it. I might have been interested then. $400 for proper Marshall tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point of the amp is to have a classic Marshall non-master volume amp with low power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So loud, in fact, that they're in immense backorder at Marshall due to reengineering them. They were vibrating themselves apart. Get a new one, and the issue's fixed. You're safe. Sounds like an older JCM in a little box. Did I mention how loud they were? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sandvich Posted July 19, 2010 Members Share Posted July 19, 2010 I think the point of the amp is to have a classic Marshall non-master volume amp with low power. Yeah, but 5W is still very loud for a tube amp. The 18w Marshalls are plenty popular, and this won't even be half as loud as that, not close. It's silly since it has a headphone out anyway. That probably has a similar effect to the master volume anyway. There could have even just been a switch to disconnect the power tubes and go straight to the speaker, I think a lot of people mod it like that.

Members Mudder1310 Posted July 19, 2010 Members Share Posted July 19, 2010 There is a design flaw with the back panel. A quick re cut fixes that. A friend of mine sells a replacement panel if you don't want to wreck the stock one. Changes tone, fullness of volume, opens up the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
