meh....5 watts is too loud for apartment/home use but not loud enough for full band/gig use. Plus, the blackstar HT5 full ministack with both cabs can be had at GC for 499.00. imo, that's a much better deal if you're going to go the 5 watt route.

 

 

Agreed. Add a master volume to the Marshall and it would be useful at home. As it stands now. . .not so much.

I guess you can make up a new cable to use the stock speaker in the headphone out as well. Mainly, do I want to give up the Palomino V32? Hard decision. Then there's the price diff between the Marshall and Vox. $249 versus $399

 

I don't know. For me if I really want something, I'd save up a $150.00. And I have the AC4TV. It will interesting to see the many threads the C5 will generate in the coming month's. The love/hate thing.

I don't see how you would get the tube break-up w/o using the Power section

thru the headphone out:confused:

 

 

found the answer

 

2. Headphones Output Jack

This is the output used to feed a standard

commercial set of headphones.

The signal here is derived from the speaker

output with added filtering in order to include

the power amp and output transformer

why didin't they make it something like 5-10-15-20 watt switchable?

 

 

Because three of those would be compromised. use the amp form the room, be it 5 watt, 15 watt 20 watt or 100 watt. Jack of all trades are masters of none.

 

They offer the Haze at 15 watts and the 2061 at 20 watts.

So this thing is built on a PCB whereas the 1974x is PTP right?

 

 

I would say that's a safe bet. The 1974X and 2061 RI's are part of their (relatively) high price hand-wired series. Production Marshall have been PCB since (ironically) 1974.

Class 5 is a nice little amp, but for people needing good tube tone at low volume ... they will probably be dissapointed.

But if you can play this 5 watts at full volume, it is good.

Hey Mike! what about cranking the amp and turning the volume down on your guitar? I do this on My Traynor ycv 20 and it works real well,The Marshall should work the same.
