This limited edition Class 5 takes Marshall to a new, classier level! These were ultimately designed to achieve the classic Marshall Plexi tones at bedroom volumes. With the help of an attenuator mod by Yontz Sucre of Mad Science Works, you are able to crank this little beast to drive it into cranked territory at a conversation volume level. With the attenuator at full power and the preamp volume set around 3 o'clock, I was able to get the JTM-45/Bluesbreaker tones with a LP style guitar. Once you roll the volume to about 1 o'clock, the AC/DC 70's JMP crunch tones really take over and bloom into a rich sustain with every note. Dime to achieve ultimate rock tones without killing your neighbors :)

This Class 5 is in very good condition!

Class 5 was a tonally rich 5 Watt all-valve amp that featured true class A circuitry. The C5-01 combo produced pure Marshall tone with great feel and response. Conceived in the wake of numerous requests from both professional stadium fillers and bedroom widdlers alike, this compact combo was the answer to many low wattage, big tone prayers.

Created in the legendary ‘Bluesbreaker’ style, the C5-01 took things back to basics with a top-loaded, ‘Plexi-esque’ control panel comprising of volume, bass, middle and treble. Responding naturally to playing dynamics, and producing rich, second order harmonic distortion. This purist pleasing combo went from brilliant clean to full-bodied crunch and on to glorious lead tones.

All this great tone was delivered through a specially designed Celestion G10F-15 speaker which had impressive lower-end while retaining clarity and definition.

Class 5 was manufactured at the Marshall production facility in Bletchley, England between 2010 and 2012.
