We talked about the Marshall Class 5 amp on it’s release a while back and it’s safe to say we were looking forward to hearing how it sounded.

The Class 5 is a low-powered 5-watt amp in the style of the Bluesbreaker combos (albeit smaller).  ECC83s in the preamp and an EL84 handling power promised Marshall valve crunch.

Now you can hear how it sounds.

Joe Bonamassa demos the Class 5, both in a band context and by showing how it sounds at different settings.

So, what do you think?  Does it do it for you?  Does the Class 5 rock your world?
