Marshall Class 5 - the sound of epic AKA "Amp in a warehouse"

[SixStringHarmonies]

I work in a 6,000+ sq. ft. brick building w/ concrete flooring that has recently been all but emptied entirely sans some office furniture and a few phones & PCs......I have been dying to bring my amp there and wait til everyone left at night to just hear that natural reverb you could only get from an empty space like that. This vid has officially driven me over the edge. I gotta do it now. I just hate the idea of being at my place of work while I'm "off the clock".......but, man that is rich.

[ghostblock1]

Theatrical but who cares Rocking...

[zaktan415]

Looks like a dark haired Jeff Hanneman :P

[MrFenderbender97]

im gonna buy a warehouse just to do this

[jokas96]

I wonder how would it sound if you kicked in a reverb pedal?

[SuperMarioZombies]

little to much reverb but still cool video

[stringslayer97]

@SuperMarioZombies the reverb is not from the amp but hes playing in a wharehouse

[SuperMarioZombies]

@stringslayer97 ... no shit really, i couldnt fucking tell. fucking stupid asshat.

[hillhead420]

I want to try this sooo fucking bad!!

[socccero]

thats cool!



[jimamundo]

Empty warehouse = Free reverb pedal.

[jazzepat]

Gotta say the class 5 sounds allot more "epic" in these vids than the HT-40

[MegaMo99]

@jazzepat Different guitars so you can't really compare

[Yodan702]

Screw the reverb on the amp, this is the type of reverb I dream of

[ZakkHendrix666]

he looks like ace frehly...

[fenriryannick]

second most expensive reverb ever. The most expensive one being George lynch buying a part of desert surounded by rocks to get his "natural" reveb. (seriously look it up)

anyway fcking epic chappers!

[MrGergen]

thats how you get reverb out of a class 5

[jhop5150]

YOU WIN!!!!!!!

[brib333]

OHHH GOD that just hurts so bad. Listen dude all name calling aside, if you think this sounds good then you got a bad ear, a REAL bad ear. OH NO WONDER! You don't even PLAY guitar and your fav. music, well so called music is ELECTRONIC!

And your interests are WUBELING AND WOBOLING and your influence is SUBWOOFERS!!!!!!

Man, go save your fuckin little bullshit comments for someone else I ain't got time for your bullshit.

[spiffication]

@brib333 electronic music is generated by a computer, without real instruments. its a fact not an opinion.

[thorftw]

one of the most awesome sounding/ expensive reverb units you could ever get. An empty warehouse

[squidy221]

y the switch from Orange Amplifiers to Marshall, Chappers?

[ac23AQ]

Poormans' Reverb.

[jg76aries]

Man, if I could have done this at every warehouse job I had in the past...

[brib333]

SOUNDS LIKE SHIT. A warehouse is NOT gonna give you a good tone. May be put some carpet down THEN may be.

[DeeWKnaD]

@brib333 Thats not the point ... your obviously retarded.

[brib333]

@DeeWKnaD

The fuckin title is "Amp In A Warehouse" Now obviouly this guy thinks that a huge werahouse is gonna give you killer sound. And that just aint fucking true. Sounds like totall SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[brib333]

@DeeWKnaD

So go listen to your fuckin shit rap you fucking faggot.

[DeeWKnaD]

@brib333 Yeah im totally the faggot here. I'm the one that doesn't understand why the amps being played in a warehouse. And i also can't think of a insult or a comeback so i'll just tell someone to listen to rap then call them a faggot. You should really consider spending less time Googleing pictures of horse cock, and maybe use some of that time to learn to play the guitar, or better yet, go back to school. Den U Mite Git Smaerter And No Wat Ur Tokin Abot.

[jezmundberserker]

Who needs a reverb pedal when you have a warehouse? Great vid. I got a Class 5 recently and it rocks!

[Saimenism]

hey man today i tried out some guitars on this amp! I didn't crank it at all (volume was like 1 or 2) and the cleans were beautifull!

[gibsonsggeni]

hello! what do you think abouth the marshall class5amp ? im abouth to get one. anyways nice playing

[eelabob]

cool , £300 for the amp , £300,000 for the reverb

[TheSchoolsux345]

his power stance is hilarious hahahahah at the beginning

[rowla]

more reverb than George Lynch ; )

[MTAlupyourass]

@rowla Loool George Lynch's reverb pisses me off..

[desr2395]

talk about natural reverb!

[smkonwater23]

Attn: All future Monkey Lord gigs shall be performed in warehouses! :)

[rocker940]

officially the best echo sound ever. now if only i had a warehouse...

[roccotanto]

this is one of the coolest amp demos EVER!

[maplegodx150]

no need for reverb....

[bigfish0886]

Great tone, but the cream one sounds better than the black one...

[ZepIV]

0:04 - POWER STANCE ACTIVATE

[spikestripe123]

did you use a reverb pedal? ;) aha

[MyxHarnett]

chappers does the class 5 take pedals well?

[emgduncanman]

this sounds awesome! i would love to get some of my amps into a warehouse such as this and just go nuts with the mics on to see what came out of it. so amazing.

[rtmilster]

that's probably the most ridiculous reverb/echo i've ever heard. awesome.

[MrBluesilverred]

Natural Reverb!!! I just beat off to that it was so good!!!

[lamborick]

one more thing i absolutly need to do before i die! xD

kudos chappers!

[LittleBuddah118]

if you had a few marshall double stacks it would be better

[Ukabumba]

is this guitar loud enough to go up against drums?

[littlewing62]

nice reverb hahahahahaha..

[MeanGreenMovies]

sunglasses are required to prevent shattering of eye balls due to the perfect match of: Marshall Class 5+bright white ware house+reverb that can only be put into the category of "reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerb

[andrewkadar]

REAL REVERB!!!

[Mancunion1976]

it sounds like a spring reverb anyway....lol

[TheSAJ11]

Fucking awesome

[SubGordonUSN]

I hooked up a Class 5 to a 4x12 and it freaking smoked.... if anyone doubts the power of the Class 5, run the same test and you won't look back.

[bloodybastard25]

You and I basically have the same hair! And badass guitar too! Can I get details on it?

[joeyrotten101]

THIS IS REEEVEEERB!

[Crossroadblues1]

Too much Reverb!!!

haha only kidding, good job!

[Itswarmeven]

Lame.

[baimun]

The Monkey Lord..... having more fun than is legal on five continents. :)

[FrankBottazzo]

so fucking cool..... and of course I PROSTATE myself ahahahahhahahahah

[HackerGuitarist]

I castrate myself before the alter of chappers and warehouse jam-age, please take my offering

[andrewkadar]

Reverb alternative if ur amp doesnt have any :D

[solerso68]

This little thing really does sound like an old super lead. the smart thing to do was to demo it in a hall like that. a plex wouldnt have sounded any better than the class 5 , heard in a 10 x 12 (feet) carpeted, sheet rocked and upholstered bed room.

[PGM992]

That's just cool.

[Zhorellski]

Now that's all Natural Reverb lol..

[oldGNRfan23]

It also reminds me of the Marshall amps before Master Volume. Was Master Volume where Marshall went wrong? Less gain=more tone! MARSHALL CLASS 5 RULES!! P.S. This is all just one person's opinion. Comment if you agree or disagree and state your opinion! Love to hear from fellow guitar nuts!

[RexSimplex]

@oldGNRfan23 i like the JCM 800 but i dont use any master volume, its on 9-10 allways. so i can "copy" the simple ciruit of a JMP/JTM with just using the gain knob. the class 5 is a little splitter, im 20, a lot of people i know would say that the class 5 hasnt got enough gain, is dark, and has too much bass. the class 5 is a amp for people who like/liked the classic marshalls, fans of a JCM2000 might not be fans of this old marshall tone. the class 5 can do everything, but it doesnt help you :D

[oldGNRfan23]

@RexSimplex True.  I guess thats why there are different amps. Different tastes and whatnot.

[joeydoit1423]

that sounds really really really bad. i'm not a negative person, but the tone and especially the reverb from the room is just bad.

[bmwm3cs]

What  reverb pedal are you using? Just kidding!

[teezer123]

home made reverb :L love it rob !

[RexSimplex]

the class 5 is the best marshall (for plexi tones), its like a 1959 superlead forced into a 5 watt combo. just great, this thing bangs away all the MG whatever marshall crap.

[oldGNRfan23]

@RexSimplex Much agreed. After having this amp for a while now, I think this is the best Marshall amp made in a LONG time, IMO. Everything on 10 reminds me of the early classic rock gods tones and just is awesome. Simple and LOUD! Better than all the modern amps that Marshall unfortunately puts its name on. I've gotta say, I think I like this more than the JCM 800 because this amp is just so warm and just so great sounding.

[wareaglebabe11]

at like :25 theres an awsome chappers pose and what looks to be somekinda shadow of the monkey lord under him look close its like a head or somthing haha

[Super9069]

now imagine putting a reverb pedal between that guitar and amp, then playing it in the warehouse.

[Poptartarsauce]

ommmgggggg this is fucking hilarious/awesome

[oldGNRfan23]

NICE!!!! That sounds awesome! What are your amp settings here? Is it all on 10? THANKS!!!!

[kamikazimonk1987]

I hear by call upon Chappers to Hook up with Gus G and have a Shred off in the Andertons warehouse with Blackstar series one 200's!!! :D

[superlou1s]

That's REAL analog delay!

[Malteboy777]

@ 1:59 blew my mind! ;D haha!

[metal1324]

i envy you

[AmethystMusic1]

Chappers is literally my idol, and this has just sealed the deal for me :) the gods of epic welcome you to the properous land of win \m/

[dingle1]

This took me back to hearing my first guitar hero, the deity that is Richie Blackmoore in Stafford Bingley Hall back in the 1970s, which was in effect a big ass warehouse. Rock on Chappers!!

[MrBrettDV]

Whoooaahhh, that makes me very happy. it's like the 80s all over again!

[musicman3527]

funny, got your monkey lord stance going on,lol

[robostomo1]

you shouldve played some surf music

[apmoro]

this is eargasmic. i have to do this one day.

[ZomBLord]

This needs to be in a music video...

[MrTomZombie]

jeez could u turn that reverb down a littlle...... ahaha i jest :P

[dlowrie290]

Now that's what I call

[wtftriskaidekaphobia]

What mic did you use to record this?

[thebytegrill]

you crazy man, I want to do that too :D

we'll need a new pedal anti-verb'

[Tacoguitar]

This is every tube amp owner's dream right here. To be able to crank it.

[theoryofgrey]

man i wish i had an effect with that kind of reverb

[jcwing044]

SO EPIC. awesome!

[Seany2shirts]

Amp sounds great but I really don't like Reverb! haha

[fletcherbarton]

that IS epic!!!! >:)

fletcher

[RobChappers]

@fletcherbarton Yes it is Mr barton - Almost as epic as you! ;-)

[Mattus1111]

Needs more reverb!

[Marshaboogie]

Natural effects!

[MJSalls]

...you know what would have made this better...get on the scissor lift....

[MJSalls]

This is perhaps the most beautiful thing I have ever seen....its like when you dream that you can fly....

I prostrate myself before the altar of Chappers.  \m/

[RobChappers]

@MJSalls The Simian Sovereign accepts your prostrations and bids you good day \m/

[downsfreak]

i think this is the coolest that I have ever seen :DD

[809Metallica]

Best Reverb Ever! Natural Reverb!

[MysticalMuffinDude]

now that is what you call hall reverb! lol good sound from the amp.

[NameInFlame]

All warehouses should be christened this way.

[RobChappers]

@NameInFlame Truth! ;-)

[KapaH8sU]

@NameInFlame christened my ass

[rwbrdms1]

@NameInFlame Absolutely!! 

[bikerpastor71]

you look way different with your hair down and the glasses on.  Way more metal. Cool video

[mike31jmb]

Thats a new one...lol. Used to be that you would walk over to your amp to get the feedback, but hell (since it's so small with such HUGE TONE) just pick it up lol. Nice!

[chadewatson]

that sounds:Epic

awesome win!

[LastXzIII]

dude... imagine a jvm+4 x 12 in the warehouse...:O

[RobChappers]

@LastXzIII I guarantee this will happen - and hopefully in a cave or something!

[robotfamilygchicken]

ive always wanted to know what a monkey lord would sound like in a warehouse..now i know

could be a reverb plug-in "call of the wild" monkey reverb

[RobChappers]

@robotfamilygchicken I like that! ;-)

[wackyoneone]

who needs classic spring reverb?.. when you've got...a warehouse!

[RyanUnplugged]

nice

[matty5spd]

Now that is what Shredding is all about! Just a man and his Axe!!

[MrLosfuegos]

Natural reverb... sweeeeeet

[lowdusk]

talk about reverb.... :) awsome!!!!

[dsvogel420]

Wow, talk about hall reverb! haha maybe they should make warehouse reverb! lol

[kaufmann94]

@dsvogel420 They do that on surround systems! :D

[JOEZEPPI1968]

nice place to record

[kaznerov]

Sick reverb over there :) nice man!

[guitaregh]

You'll have to play it in a warehouse, cause else people will notice it sucks balls. But that's just my humble opinion..

[Darfuria]

Ah man, that lick still makes me smile - from the jam we had in Trowbridge. You've got to record that track with that lick in it.

[RobChappers]

@Darfuria  This is true!!

[irritatedmushroom2]

Reminds me of Brian May's "Brighton Rock Solo" off the Live At Wembley '86 album. Great stuff!!

[dwg316]

u r monkey nutts dude

[tuft125]

haha i was actually thinking (dreaming) of doing this but having a marshall stack in each corner

[fivixx]

close your legs!

[DrewBlackstar]

Nice Lighting Dude!!!!

I wonder how a Blackstar would sound in that warehouse. Hmm only time will tell. Rock on dude!!!!

[RobChappers]

@DrewBlackstar Ha ha ha!! Look everyone it's Drew!!!

Boom! \m/

[AndertonsMusic]

@DrewBlackstar "BOOM"

[michaelgroenewald7]

[samgam69]

jawsome shit maan

[JustLearningGuitar]

Amazing!

[stratobiker]

Rob - I've been lusting after a Class 5 for ages but, during my research I came across reports of rattles. Can you comment on this truthfully?

TVM

SB

[RobChappers]

@stratobiker Hi mate, yeah I've heard the comments, all I can say is that I've just never encountered it... and I've played Class 5's for a while now, in fact I have used 4 different ones.

[stratobiker]

@RobChappers - OK, many thanks Rob. Have a great day, in a 'Rock' way.

SB :)

[AndertonsMusic]

@stratobiker There were some badly fitted baffles that caused a rattle on the first ones, but they're all OK now. There is a Class 5 vs other small tube amps on the andertonsmusic youtube channel - have a listen to that. Cheers

[stratobiker]

@AndertonsMusic - thanks guys. I'm gonna go look for that 'shoot' out now.

SB

[asda6572]

You gotta do more of these bloody warehouse videos mate. WICKED.

[sesstreets]

I loved the playing, but the tone was a little... flat.

[scott7d]

Your hair is getting epically long. You need an Herbal Essences endorsement!!

[m0j0101]

warehouse = reverb

[MSxLoNeWoLf]

You have the volume set on "11" ? ;)

[joshuaaewallen]

That just plain looks like fun!

[StaulkHolm]

this is how did it before reverb and delay pedals.

[ZomBLord]

Natural reverb.

[albedo0point39]

Full. Of. Win.

[GuernB2]

some EVH would have sounded nice here

[noslen1968]

Reverb done right.

[brunthroath6912]

Who needs re verb when you have a hall like this to play:D

[mudbone80]

For years I always brought the guitar to the amp rig for feedback, I never considered bringing the amp to the guitar. Brilliant. :)

[joemiracle220]

you should get like 3 full stacks and a wireless then rock out some Dire Straits - Money For Nothing

[Megdidar]

I would love to be able to bring my peavey XXX head and cab somewhere like that and play at full volume. So much win it might tear a hole in the universe.

[AStewart611]

yeah thats sweet, but ill just buy a reverb pedal instead of a warehouse xD

[TheDSparky]

I just got done playing one of those amps at GuitarCenter today, it sounds beauitful!

[RobChappers]

@TheDSparky Yeah mate - Did you try one through a 4x12 and a good overdrive pedal? Just awesome tones ;-)

[acefireburst]

Hahaha that's awesome xD

[rich2rock]

Are you at work? this is the job for me. : ]

[RobChappers]

@rich2rock Yeah - It's a hard job, music is a cruel mistress... But someone has to do it so it may as well be me! ;-)

[megabassmasta]

I'd love to try this.

[SteelSkin667]

I think everybody here would really like to see the same, but with a big super lead full stack.That would be MOAR than epic.

[RobChappers]

@SteelSkin667 Ha ha consider it done mate ;-)

[yoyodunno]

that was beastly reverb holy shit sounded amazing.

[ezquimal]

Good reverb!!!!

Please man can I see you with a Marshall Mayor full volume?

[wwit63]

Rob if you realy want to fuck with the peeps, try this. Re do with a full stack placed all the way in the back, you stand close to the front so that force perspective makes you look like your cranking that threw a mini stack....or not...lol
