Marshall Class 5

[Danthehorse]

Sounds very boxy

[dbf678]

Thats a wicked strat!! Beauty!

[repenthouse]

you need to learn a new lick....lickster

[sustainer82]

any chance you wanna sell the guitar?

[iatemine]

I'm loving that Strat! Reverse headstock! Badass!!!

[juankang]

Cool guitar . Sad that has been discontinued

[greendayhall]

hey im using the same amp as u,n im using a fender 70's reissue made in japan....made around the year 1984....any advice on how to get the crystal clear sound

[JamminJim42]

The amp sounds GREAT with that guitar !! I have never seen a stock reverse headstock strat before. Where did you find it? I want one.

[tminsf00]

It's a Flip HD.

[andrewkadar]

hey may i ask what camera were you using?

[90sRockWhore]

love the reverse neck strat, in arctic white?

great playing, great demo, im sold on these now, thanks.

[tminsf00]

@Deadfreeeak: You're due for a checkup. Please call the office.

[dessibel]

how do you players learn all those cool chops, all the tab I pick up off the internet are songswhere I have to stop and count in my head alot.

[SRV1DOORS1HENDRIX1]

Preyty standard question here but as for the volume,Would it be loud enough to get the next knocking at my door?

[oregoniv]

Thank you for posting this valuable demo. Very well done and greatly appreciated.

I run my Class 5 through a 4x12, and it sounds gorgeous. The best way I describe this amp is a "JCM45 head in a box". Portable, and great for recording and performance.

[armyqpzm]

@SubGordonUSN you mean marshall jtm 45?

[tminsf00]

With a pickup as hot as an EMG, you're going to get break up really early. You'll be fine as long as you're not looking for the amp to clean up much as any usable volume. One trick might be to switch the 12ax7 with a 12at7, which is a lower gain tube.

[DisasterBlaster500]

I always hoped Marshall would put out an amp like that. But for the longest time, the "rattling" thing steered me away. Now that I know it can be remedied, I'm seriously considering one of these. How do you think it would sound with EMG humbuckers? I'm not looking to play metal or anything like that with it, I just want good tone (Toys In The Attic-era Aerosmith or Dressed To Kill-era Kiss).

[itsonlyrcknroll]

I had to hit replay i enjoyed it so much. Great demo, no wasted time, everything you need to get a quick taste of what this amp is and isn't. Well done.

[tminsf00]

that's actually a BlackJack 21, but your question is relevant - the Fuchs is made with top notch components, and there's no getting out of the fact that the Class 5 is a mass production amp. The Fuchs is more responsive with cleaner harmonics. The Marshall is more of a straight ahead, one trick pony. It's just too cool and such a bargain tho!

[ebmx66]

How do you think it compares to the Lucky 7? In terms of cleans, crunch, and gain available?

Thanks

[tminsf00]

I think it's a steal at $400. If I was looking for straight tone, there are much better amps out there, but they're also a lot more expensive. If you need one killer amp, buy a Dr. Z, or go bananas and get a Swart atomic space tone (maybe the best combo I've ever heard). We're talking $2k tho....

[wedge070]

looking at the amp alone.. build/sound/features... do you think its worth the $400.00 tag marshall put on it??

[AWSH17]

so how does it take pedals?

[tminsf00]

volume on guitar on 10.

[Bernz67]

Nice demo. Was your guitar volume dimed or did you roll it back a bit?

[punkeratheart]

This man's fingers know what to say to a single ended el84 output section!!!!

[MarshallAmpMan]

Nice demo...would you be able to do one with this amp and a Gibson? Like a Paul or an SG and with the various volume settings. Seems like everyone doing demos is just playing it full blast. Your video is the first I've seen that has some variety....thanks!

[jammers5]

Wow man I really like your sound and style - thank you for sharing!!!!!

[univibe23]

Love that reverse headstock Strat!! Kind of turns it into a Gibson Firebird. I can't believe Fender doesn't produce these any longer--they could at least do a MIM version like the Blackmore Strat which doesn't seem to be selling very well from what I hear.

[p3droski]

hey i have this same exact guitar. its a Hendrix speacial guitar and the bridge pickup is also reversed..

[MrWoonoz]

Hi,

Do you use the effect pedals on the left of the amp for this demo?

[tminsf00]

Nope, the demo was straight in.

[darek277]

good job! nice tone!

[tankbrute6]

hey man, is this really loud enough to play like at a bar or club?

[jammers5]

Yes I gigged with it this weekend, the other guitar player had a 100w Marshall stach and I had no trouble hearing myself.

[mscarney302]

Are you in the USA. If so where did you buy this amp? I am in CA and cant find it any where...

[tminsf00]

The foam tape surrounds the upper opening the in back panel, where the panel makes contact with the amp chassis.

[gmlasam]

@tminsf00

Im glad you posted this video showing the obvious fix for that notorious rattle. Fortunately, my Class 5 does not have that problem, but I know some who do. I will refer them to your video.

[TheLaqueefa]

the class 5 needed a demo like this, good sound, good lighting, single coils, so where exactly did u put the foam tape on yours? like, on the little lower mounting corners of the chassis?

[TwangKing24]

Excellent demo...nicely done. The strat sounded great through that amp, especially with the volume around 1 o'clock. thanks for the demo
