The Class5 is a 5 Watt, all-valve, class A
amplifier in 1 x 10" combo format.
This small combo amplifier is in response to a
very common request we have received over
the years which nearly always contains the
phrase - “can we have the Marshall stack
sound, but at a much lower volume please”, 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, a
must for recording and ideal for rehearsals and
small gigs. A headphone output is also
included for private practice.
Two ECC83 (12AX7) double triode preamp
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 its full ‘deceivingly
respectable’ output will yield some red hot
Marshall roar, which can alternatively be driven
into a 16
Ω
4 x 12" for some of that extra
bottom-end resonance familiar to nearly all
Marshall devotees!
The internal 10" speaker is the newly
developed Celestion G10F-15 which is the
perfect partner for this amplifier and maximises
the tonal spectrum admirably considering the
compact size of this little brute!
