Marshall Class 5 Five-Watt Valve Combo Revealed
Continuing the current trend for low output valve amps, Marshall has announced the release of its new Class 5 combo.
The amp was unveiled yesterday (28 July) at the legendary Ronnie Scott´s Jazz Club in London, with Joe Bonamassa playing a blinding set through the combo to an audience of rock legends, Marshall dealers and members of the press.
Built in the UK, the amp itself is a class A, five-watt model loaded with a pair of ECC83s in the preamp, an EL84 power amp valve and a 10-inch Celestion G10F-15 and is set to retail at around £300.
