First video of the new Slash SL-5!!

Re: First video of the new Slash SL-5!!

Haven't watched chappers demo but it's not the first video of that amp PG and others have made one too. 5 watts 112 for $700.. still interested?
 
Re: First video of the new Slash SL-5!!

The official Marshall studio demo has been up for a few days to a week.

I am not sure whether I like it or not. Based on clips alone, I think the DSL15 and 40 sounds much better. The Slash sounds pretty one dimensional..i.e. here is Slashs sound..you can get it with more bass, or less..more treble or less...more mids, or less.

Still, the SL5 a nice tube " 2channel" marshall with a.closed back cab, and a high quality speaker at a pretty reasonable price ($599 is what I am seeing).
 
Re: First video of the new Slash SL-5!!

a nice sound yes but at that price, right why not buy a full sized marshall? again you really don't have to dig deep on a DSL to find those tones but with all the benefits of some drastically different voices and that of being a stage-worthy amp, regardless of the speaker or where it's made.

Still, plenty will probably find this a nice practice amp as I'm sure there are are plenty of Slash fans who do want to have that sound in their gararge

solos sounded cool. when he played some rhythms I dunno.

I'm hoping they release it as a head... IMO it would sound much fuller with at least a 2x12.

But I'm with the others here... I've played a DSL 401 and can get nicer tones...

IMO some of Slash's best tones were on the MTV Live at the Ritz concert, when they were just breaking through, and he's using JCM 800 2210 Channel Switchers, probably since they were the the only ones available, but he was able to still dial in his tone
 
Re: First video of the new Slash SL-5!!

chappers' demo is alil too distorted. I need a small amp I can use for practice and such as my HK solid state is dying.. does this have headphone jack?
 
Re: First video of the new Slash SL-5!!

No, there is no headphone jack. They probably assume with the one watt setting, there wasn't a need for one.
 
Re: First video of the new Slash SL-5!!

It's got two holes. Excellent idea. Sort of like having two overdrive channels, not footswitchable, but what do you want from a signature model amp at that price?
I think I'm a hole 1 guy.
Hole 2 sounds fatter with his Les Paul, and sounds a lot like Slash's recorded tones, but to me that's too fuzzy and high gain. Hole 1 seems more dynamic, with more cut in the attack.

I'm not real crazy about the tones from a Strat through that amp.

Looking forward to checking out some of Milli Vagilli's work.
