swleary Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 I could've got a class 5 last Thursday but opted to find something with a lot of gain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swleary Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 I'm still on the fence, Can you tell ? lol What I was looking for was a lot of gain....metal tone lol. I could probably put a pedal to boost the class 5 at low volume. Hmmmm...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowdown Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Well sh*t mate. I keep telling you to wait and you won't be disappointed. If you don't know what sound you're chasing then... The C5 will give you what you want if you're after balls to the wall overdrive "+" even more IF you use a pedal. I alternate between using a dist+ & TS-9(lean mostly towards the TS-9 because that's more my style of playing/sound now)but it will take any gain/boost pedal and push it. What more do ya wanna know...I get beautiful sounds outta this. Tell ya what - tomorrow I'll lay some solo beds down and post them on my Soundclick site for ya to hear. OK...

Putting some sound clips up would be awesome Lowdown, that'll be great. Do you ever use a reverb pedal on the Class 5? I have a Marshall reverb here just collecting dust and would be great to use it on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would truly prefer to keep it as clean as(fx wise)possible. The less garbage in,the less out. But,I'll drag out the delays/chorus/reverbs etc for you if you want OK.

swleary Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 Ok that sounds great to me :) One other question. What is the ohms rating for the extension cabinet? I have a 8 ohms, 500 watt rating cab just sitting here lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is no way way of hotrodding/rectifying that either. UNLESS,you can re-wire your cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwness Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 sw The DSL 401 are a nice little 40 watt that you could plug your bottom into also. Are you playing with anyone or just practicing at home. If you want gain go for the VM I got mine off CL for a steal ($800) looks like new not a scratch. I also have the Orange tiny terror. Now that has great gain got mine you guessed it off CL $375. I do most off my lead work through the TT. Great sustain ans pinch harmonics CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may venture out later to gig though [/quote'] In that case the DSL would be a little to much power unless you can turn it up. I live out in the country so I don't bother anyone. Try one of the small watters then. I like the TT but the Night Train is nice and so is the Blackstar. Krank makes a 20 watt that has tons overdrive. When we jam over here the Marshalls are turned up. I turn them up when I'm alone also can't help it just sounds better. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverbursted Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 The 401 is a great little amp. But little is not the correct adjective for it; that sucker is loud!!! If you are looking for a great sound that would be suitable for nearly any venue, the 401 is great. I ended up selling it because I couldn't get a sound I liked at low volumes. The price sounds about right, but make sure to get a post 2003 (I think it's after 2003), because of the overheating problems they were prone to. If you are looking for bedroom volumes, perhaps heeding the advice of others would be appropriate and wait for the Class 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefleppard Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 i had the tsl601 and had nothing but problems. it was in the shop 4 of the 6 months i owned it. this guy did say his had been repaired so i'd question him on the type of repair. the price is good if its in good shape. also, if the dsl is similar to the tsl, these amps don't have that classic marshall vibe. the dirty channel is missing that punch/crunch/scoop or whatever you want to call it.
