One of the most iconic images in Rock is Slash standing holding a Les Paul in front of a wall of Marshall amps. Many people long to get the same tone but the size, price and volume of head and 4x12 cabs has been a problem!
Slash and Marshall have combined again to release a new signature model - the Marshall SL-5C - that should reach a much wider audience and deliver Slash inspired tone to many homes. Based on the success of the Marshall 50th Anniversary Models the Marshall SL-5 is 5 watts of pure Slash tone at volumes that can be used at home!
Here's what Marshall say about the SL-5 Slash Signature Amp
Marshall Amplification is pleased to announce the launch of the new SL-5 Slash Signature Amplifier.
The SL-5 is an all valve 5 watt amplifier incorporating various features, but above all else that distinctive Slash tone. Working closely with Slash after the success of the AFD100, it was deemed appropriate to make a more accessible amplifier that is ideal for home or studio use.
The SL-5 has two channels; Clean and Overdrive. A single volume control for the clean takes you from authentic Slash clean to Marshall style crunch. The Overdrive channel, consisting of volume and gain, nails the AFD style tone and more. Both of the channels have obviously been approved by Slash himself.
A master EQ section of Bass, Middle, Treble and presence is included, as well as a high quality custom voiced digital reverb control.
As well as providing 5 watts of valve power, the SL-5 can also be switched to just 1 watt at any time via the three way power switch giving you perfect Slash tone at bedroom volume. The amp also has high and low sensitivity inputs.
At the heart of the amp are three ECC83 preamp valves and a single EL34 valve for its power stage. Slash's favourite Celestion 'Vintage 30' 12" speaker brings the amplifier to life.
