Marshall Amplification Class 5 Manuel utilisateur

O W N E R ’ S M A N U A L

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 arshall 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, iddle 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

arshall roar, which can alternatively be driven

into a 16Ω 4 x 12" for some of that extra

bottom-end resonance familiar to nearly all

arshall 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!

From

Jim Marshall

I would personally like to congratulate you on your

purchase of the arshall Class5 amplifier.

One of my golden rules has been, and always will be,

to listen to what guitarists want from their amplifiers.

When the company started receiving numerous

requests to produce an amplifier containing all the

harmonics, feel and tone of a classic arshall stack,

but at a fraction of the size and volume, I set my

experienced R&D team the challenge.

In response, they have created the Class5, a single

channel, 5 Watt, all-valve combo brimming with

classic arshall tone. I was amazed when I heard

what this small amp could do, it really does punch

way above its weight and contains everything from

bright cleans to classic crunch and fantastic lead solo

tones.

The high quality construction is something I’m

particularly proud of too. Every Class5 amplifier is

created from specially sourced components and

materials by our highly skilled and dedicated shop

floor staff in our factory in the heart of the UK.

Their attention to detail and unwavering standards

mean your new amplifier will truly stand the test of

time.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you

every success with your new arshall Class5 amp.

Yours Sincerely,

Dr Jim arshall OBE

Technical Specification

1. Input Jack Socket

This is where you plug your guitar into the

amp. You must use a screened (shielded) guitar

cable. Never use an unscreened (unshielded)

speaker cable. The input to any guitar amplifier

is a very sensitive part of the signal path and is

therefore susceptible to airborne radio

interference, hence the need for a screened

guitar cable. This screened cable should

preferably be of good quality. If you are in any

doubt regarding this, your arshall dealer will

be more than happy to help and advise you.

2. Volume

This control sets the overall output volume of

the amplifier.

Tonal tip: It is practical to set this first to suit

the environment in which you are playing as

the position of the volume largely dictates the

optimum positions for the other controls.

3. Treble

This control determines the amount of high

frequency that is present and gives your guitar

tone a defining edge as it is turned up.

4. Middle

This controls the mid-range of your sound.

Turning this up will make your guitar sound

fatter and fuller.

. Bass

This controls the amount of low frequencies

(bottom end) in your tone.

6. Mains Indicator

This red indicator will light up whenever the

amp is plugged into the mains and the Power

Switch (7) is on.

Note: Please allow a minute or so for the amp

to ‘warm up’ after switching on. This is

perfectly normal with valves as they need to

come up to their ‘working temperature’.

7. Power Switch

This is the On/Off switch for the mains

electric power to the amplifier.

Note: Please ensure the amplifier is switched

off and unplugged from the mains electricity

supply whenever it is moved!

1. Mains Input Socket with

incorporated Mains Fuse

Your amp is provided with a detachable mains

(power) lead, which is connected here. The

specific mains input voltage rating that your

amplifier has been built for is indicated on the

rear panel. Before connecting for the first time,

please ensure that your amplifier is compatible

with your electricity supply. If you have any

doubt, please get advice from a qualified

technician. Your arshall dealer will help you

in this respect.

The correct value of mains fuse located in the

small drawer at the bottom of the mains

socket is specified on the rear panel of the

amplifier. The drawer contains a space for a

spare fuse.

NEVER attempt to bypass the fuse or fit one

of the incorrect value!

Note: It is wise to carry spare fuses at all

times.

2. Headphones Output Jack

This is the output used to feed a standard

commercial set of headphones.

The signal here is derived from the speaker

output with added filtering in order to include

the power amp and output transformer’s

contribution to the overall tone.

A 16Ω dummy load is connected across the

headphone output to maintain the correct

‘reflected’ impedance for the power amp.

3. Headphones/Extension Speaker

Selector switch

This switch selects the routing for the output

signal.

With the switch toward the ‘Extension

Speaker’ jack, only the internal speaker, or

extension speaker if used, will be active.

Nothing will appear at the ‘headphones’

output.

With the switch toward the ‘Headphones’ jack,

only the headphones jack will be active. The

internal speaker or extension speaker will be

muted.

4. Extension Speaker Output Jack 16Ω

This is the output used to feed an alternative

16Ω extension cabinet, a typical example being

a arshall 4 x 12". When connecting the

extension cabinet, the combo’s internal speaker

is automatically disconnected.

ALWAYS ensure you use good quality speaker

(unshielded) cables. NEVER use guitar

(shielded) cables.

WARNING! Never use the amplifier without

a load (speaker cabinet/s) attached!

Always use a non-screened arshall approved

speaker lead when connecting an extension

cabinet to these units.
