bluesguitar65 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 We'll see. I'm interested.. If it's around $200-$300 I might pick one up. According to this, the newer Class5 MKII will cost a little more. I'm thinking about $100 more than the current Class5 MKI. 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.

Riffster Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I gather, but other Marshall amps have the MK2 designation right? What does MK1 mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Bluesguitar65 - I'm talking about just the head. Stiffy - You say "mark one". MKI just means version one and MKII just means version two etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I see, I guess I was thinking acronym, like JTM and JMP. As much gas as this amp and now head give me my Mesa 5:25 head has the 5W setting with full features, I could not justify buying this amp. I do need to plug into one to chack it out.

Tim Plains Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 According to this, the newer Class5 MKII will cost a little more. I'm thinking about $100 more than the current Class5 MKI. That quote applies to the combo. Heads are usually a little cheaper than combos, right? So, maybe $450/$500 US for the combo and $350/$400 for the head? From the link in the first post.

When you say full features, you mean full of knobs, switches, and buttons, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Yeah, **** 'em. Hope they get a finger cramp turning that master volume knob. I used to like master volumes, but when I started playing at decent volumes, I found they kill tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
