NAMM 2011: Marshall Announce Class 5 Mark II Amplifier and Class 5 Head

Man, the Class 5 combo amplifier from Marshall really hit the mark BIG-TIME last year... a 1x10" non-master volume TONE MACHINE that sounds waaaaay bigger than it's physical dimensions, was a HUGE hit.  Well, they have upped the ante in a very cool way!

Marshall have updated their flagship small tube amplifier - the Marshall Class 5 - and are now releasing a Class 5 MK2 with improved internal components, and a more home-friendly design.

The Class 5 MKII now features a "low volume" output switch - as even 5w is very loud for home use. That means, you can now  (now what? where's the rest of the sentence?)

Additional internal improvements to the Class 5 have been made. Marshall have assured customers that the price rise that accompanies the transition between the Class 5 MkI and Class5 MkII is worth it as you have a more versatile amp that is built for home use, rehearsals and gigging.

Also new from Marshall in the Class 5 range - a Class 5 Head & Cab. The Marshall C5H Class 5 Head has the same features as the combo and can be paired up with a Marshall C212 2x12 cabinet or a number of other Marshall cabs

The Class 5 MKII combo, head and cabs will be available from Andertons very soon and you can preorder by clicking the links below
