Marshall SL-5 Slash 5W 1x12 Combo, Second-Hand Overview
Marshall Amplification proudly unveils the new SL-5 Slash Signature Amplifier, designed to capture the iconic Slash tone in a compact all-valve 5-watt package. Following the success of the AFD100, Marshall collaborated closely with Slash to create a more accessible amplifier suitable for home or studio use.
The SL-5 features two channels: Clean and Overdrive. With a single volume control, the Clean channel transitions seamlessly from authentic Slash clean tones to classic Marshall crunch. The Overdrive channel, equipped with volume and gain controls, delivers the signature AFD style tone and beyond, all personally approved by Slash himself.
A master EQ section comprising Bass, Middle, Treble, and Presence allows for precise tonal shaping, while a custom-voiced digital reverb control adds depth and dimension to your sound.
In addition to its 5 watts of valve power, the SL-5 offers the flexibility to switch to 1 watt via a three-way power switch, ensuring optimal Slash tone at bedroom-friendly volumes. The amp features both high and low sensitivity inputs for added versatility.
Powered by three ECC83 preamp valves and a single EL34 valve for its power stage, the SL-5 is driven by Slash’s preferred Celestion Vintage 30 12" speaker, delivering unparalleled sonic richness and clarity.
