Marshall Amplification Class 5 H Valve Amplifier, Owner'S Manual

Page: 3 / 6

1
The Class5H is a 5 Watt, all-valve, Class A
amplifier in a head format.
This little amplifier has been manufactured in
response to a very common request we have
received over the years, a request which
nearly always contains the phrase “Can we
have the Marshall Stack sound, but at a much
lower volume”. So here it is, a ‘baby Plexi’ if
you like!
Incorporating a very simple layout of Volume,
Treble, Middle and Bass, it is designed to
deliver those great cranked tones with
minimum fuss and environmental abuse. The
Class5H is a must for recording and is ideal for
rehearsals and smaller gigs. A headphone
output is also included for private practice.
Two ECC83 (12AX7) double triode pre-amp
valves and a single EL84 pentode power amp
valve ensure that the signal path is pure Class
A valve tone from beginning to end.
‘Class A’ topologies are known for their
generous second harmonic distortion
characteristic, which is very pleasant to the ear
and results in some classic overdrive tonality.
Cranking the amp up to it’s full ‘deceivingly
respectable’ output will yield some red hot
Marshall roar which can be driven into either
8
Ω
or 16
Ω
extension cabinets.
