The Marshall Class 5 Head and updated combo that I mentioned in January has finally been officially announced. Marshall has recorded a demo of the amps that you can see below:
I played the first version of the combo last year, and, while I liked the sound, it was too loud for home use, which is what I was interested in. The new low-power mode on the combo looks like it’ll solve that problem and enable you to get the classic Marshall Plexi-style distorted tone at very low volumes. The head also looks really cool, but it doesn’t have the low-power mode if that is important to you.
I played this amp quite a few times. I love it! Sounds great cranked up.
Have you played the new version yet? I’m real curious about the low-power mode, and how it affects the sound.
