A Touch of Class...Class5 Owners Welcome! - Page 20

I figured the fullness would add to the overall projection and sound coverage. It would be pretty sweet to have multiple C5s running in unison, we'll have to see what Santa brings for Xmas. I have seen any reds or whites at my local store yet though

IbanezMark · 11-02-2010, 08:24 AM

I haven't tried my C5 at practice yet, but I have a feeling it won't be loud enough as is.
We're a 3 piece, but we play LOUD. I'll probably have to mic it up and run it through the PA

DSL100 Dude · 11-02-2010, 11:18 AM

If when you practice you go above noon on your DSL's master then yeah, it is a safe bet that you will be looking to mic it up.

IbanezMark · 11-02-2010, 11:18 AM

how about 1'oclock on the master with the DSL?

DSL100 Dude · 11-02-2010, 11:26 AM

Nice! That is serious practice levels!

And yeah, the C5 ain't gonna cut it on it's own. Nice to know that there are still a few fellas out there that practice at gig levels.

Sadly, even some gigs aren't even at gig levels anymore.

IbanezMark · 11-02-2010, 11:43 AM

Told ya we play loud! When you rehearse in a rental space, it's nice to be able to turn it up and flex the gear muscles

I like to feel my pant legs flapping

White Marshalls are far more common than green, so theyre definitely out there. It seems they are popular though with RR fans, so it may not be that easy/cheap to get one. As far as I know they dont make White haze cabs

FYI Marshall made a green 1by 12 cab for the JTM 30 series amps in the mid to late 90's.And it was a 16 ohm deal.Every once in awhile you can see one on E bay for sale.I have a JTM 30 with 2 10'' speakers and the 1 by 12 extension cab.Great amp.Never had a problem with it.Hooked up my Class 5 to the 1 by12 cab and sounded great.Now I wonder how long it will be for Marshall to make a Class 5 with a stock 12'' speaker.That would be great

Just saw this 2x12" cab posted on my local Craigslist. Would make a sweet match to someone with a GREEN Class 5.

DSL100 Dude · 11-02-2010, 08:25 PM

That's what 4x12's are all about.

Awww shucks!

Shango · 11-03-2010, 05:15 PM

Hi folks! I am a newbie here, and from some of the posts I've read, I am afraid you guys will eat me alive!! Anyhow, I just got my green c5 on Monday, and this little sucker is a monster! ( by the way, got my green 5 from AMS and they are in stock now for the going rate.) Wow, the red and white ones are SWWWEETT!
This little beast has popped my "valve cherry" so to speak. My only complaint is the lack of control over mids. Don't get me wrong, I love that classic British mid "bark". I just could use a little more in the way of tone options. I was thinking an EQ might help?? Any advise?

IbanezMark · 11-03-2010, 06:43 PM

You earned it dude!

DSL100 Dude · 11-03-2010, 10:17 PM

I am hoping to pick up my 10" greenback tomorrow!

I plan on loading it up in the red one.

benjammin420 · 11-03-2010, 10:44 PM

I'm curious how the greenback will compare to the C5's stock one

Shango · 11-04-2010, 12:18 AM

Hey there, guys! I'm a newbie here in Marshall land and judging by some of the posts, you guys are gonna eat me alive! Anyway, I just got my green C5 on Monday, and I've been shaking the house all week!(the green one is in stock at AMS right now)I am new to the tube world and in total bliss! I've only owned one other Marshall. It was an early nineties valvestate 2x12. My only complaint for the C5, is I would like to have more tonal options. I was thinking maybe an eq. Does anybody have any suggestions? I don't know if I should go graphic, parametric, or something else entirely.
I intend on taking full advantage of all your wisdom and experience!

Sorry for posting twice. My first forum and I'm still learning!

Me, too! ...and I want to know how it fits in it. I definately want to swap the speaker in one of my C5s, but I don't know what I want to try yet! I'm hoping to find a speaker that will tighten up the bottom end.

I've sent 2 e-mails to David @ WGS asking about his 10" Veteran and his G10C. I haven't heard back from him so I may look elsewhere.

Bummer because I've had excellent service from him in the past, and I love my 12" Veteran, but I think the 10" is a little different.

IbanezMark · 11-04-2010, 09:40 AM

I'm gonna guess the greenback will give it a bit more clean headroom.
Interested to hear about it!

DSL100 Dude · 11-04-2010, 09:59 AM

I am giddy as a school girl waiting to hear from the shop that it came in on the truck. I am saving my lunch break for running out to get it.

From my experience though, 10" speakers are usually have a looser bottom end, which is kind of weird considering how popular they are with bass players. I've been spoiled by my 2x12 cab i think

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of... I would love to find (or build) a head cab and turn the combo into a 112 speaker cab. ...or, maybe convert one to a 112 combo like that one dude did.

If I didn't have 2 Class 5s I wouldn't even be thinking this much about it. I would instead be looking for a second low watter that would give me a little more gain and tighter feel, or something that would work well with a higher gain pedal like I've always done before. But since I love the looks and size and tone of the class 5 so much and I couldn't resist getting the Cream one when I saw it in person, I'm trying to go this route.

If I knew of a good amp tech I would take it to see if it could be modded to give me what I need. I'm only concerned with my black one. the cream one will stay stock except for the tubes.

Welcome Shango! always great to see more C5 love! I couldn't see your posts yesterday but they showed up this morning. That seems to happen a lot.

Anyway, I sometimes like to use a GE-7 as a boost and to jack up the mids. I also have an MXR Kerry King version but it's noisy and I only use it for the 2 outputs if I want to run two amps together. I usually put the GE-7 after a fuzz or before an OD. I keep switching back and forth between the GE-7, a boost or another OD set as boost. I've only used it to boost some mids and for that it works pretty good.

BTW, this is my first "real" Marshall too!

DSL100 Dude · 11-05-2010, 09:06 AM

Welcome Shango!

Yeah, this delayed posting thing is driving me crazy. Hope it gets sorted with the next update.

Anyway, I have no doubt that running an eq in front of the C5 will give you some different tonal colors to play in. What I would suggest is taking your guitar and amp to a local shop and test drive what all they have to offer. I personally have never used an eq pedal so I am really of no help on suggestions. I have colored the sound by using different OD pedals that I have used for boosting or kicking the C5 into that "80's hot plexi" type of sound.

Post up some pics of your gear and of course let us know how your tests go.

IbanezMark · 11-05-2010, 09:47 AM

I haven't fired up my Class 5 in 2 days.
This is a problem. I should spend some quality time with it tonight..

DirtySteve · 11-05-2010, 10:31 AM

OOh, I usually have friends over on Friday nights and we mostly jam acoustic, but tonight I get to have all to myself.

My C5 doesn't have a clue what it's in for!

DSL100 Dude · 11-05-2010, 09:19 PM

On the hunt for the post that has the C5 schematic.

First one to find it, post it up.

DSL100 Dude · 11-05-2010, 09:20 PM

Mark, play it everyday or it gets upset.

DSL100 Dude · 11-05-2010, 09:20 PM

Speaker didn't make it in this week. Hopefully next week.
