Introducing the new, improved Marshall Class 5 C5-01 combo with power attenuator!

The new Marshall Class 5 C5-01 features improved construction with thicker cabinet wood. This improves strength and the overall resonance of the amp. Additionally, a new low power mode is available to reduce the power output of the Class 5 so you can get blistering Marshall distortion tones at the kind of volume level that is suitable for a bedroom or flat. 

Marshall Class 5

Marshall join the low wattage tube amp party with the 5w Class 5 Combo. What you see is what you get with the Class 5 - a compact, portable, class A tube amp, based on the legendary Bluesbreaker design that has no frills and bags of tone at bedroom, rehearsal or gig volumes.

The Class 5 dishes out warm tube tone without needing to be blisteringly loud; but crank it up and its 5 watts go a long way at small gigs! And it will even sound great mic'ed up when you get round to organising that arena tour! 

With just volume and 3-Band EQ on the control panel, and an all valve (2 ECC83 and 1 EL34) signal path, the Class 5 is a real purists amp. By turning just these 4 knobs, you can go from sparkling cleans, to crunch, to screaming British lead tones without having to endlessly fiddle with scores of gimmicky "whizzbang" controls!

As you'd expect from an all valve Marshall, the amp responds admirably to adjustments made on your guitar volume and tone controls too!

The Class 5 features a specially designed, 10 inch Celestion speaker. The pairing of the G10F-15 speaker and semi-open backed cabinet delivers a surprisingly present low-end whilst retaining midrange bite and clarity. If you need to move a bit more air, there is a 16 ohm speaker output on the rear panel. Conversely, if its still a little too loud, Marshall have equipped the Class 5 with a handy headphone output for those late night jams.

Marshall tube tone in a single portable unit that can be used at home, at rehearsal, at the gig and in the studio - we think the Class 5 is a real class act! Order yours now and be one of the first to get your hands on this versatile little amp.

    Coming from a solid state modelling amp I now understand what valve fans rave about. Excellent build quality and great tone. I don't miss the confusing multitude of buttons. Suprisingly loud so the low power switch with phones socket is a very useful feature.

    At first I was sceptical coming from a dsl50 head with gain and channel and reverb controls, but once i took the dive and brought this it put all my worries to rest this and an overdrive pedal is all you ever need is that classic marshall stack on full sound in a 1x10 combo not great if you want loud cleans but the cleans it does doe are brilliant, by far the best amp ive played.

    Great small amp with big sound. Experiment with other preamp tubes if you want to get even more sound out of it, i.e. GT7025. That wil help keep the noise down but you must accept some. The power tube sounds fine in my ears.

    I love the amp ant it looks just great - every babe loves baby Marshall... ;-)
