A rare Marshall amp - one of only 50 made: the Class 5 Roulette - an inside and out review with playing.
This Marshall class A guitar amplifier head was made as a very limited edition some while back, but in this video I show you the inside and out of this great little tube amp and how it sounds.
This one was purchased from Fair Deal Music at https://www.fairdealmusic.co.uk/ or call 0121 643 1685 where Punit, Garry and friends can help or visit them at 79 - 83 Holloway Head, Birmingham City Centre, B1 1QP. This amp was purchased by me and this is a completely genuine and unbiased complete review without sponsorship.
This 5 watt guitar amplifier head really is a rarity and this model is called the roulette head - it's nothing to do with gambling of course, but if ever there was a guitar head that you might 'want to try' with those tones then this little Marshall amp is probably it.
I show you the amp inside and out, its build quality and design, the components, the good and bad (if there is any) and I offer an overall score for this amp. I also play a track using this exact amplifier, a Tokai Les Paul, a Wah pedal and a 1x12 Marshall cab from the 'studio' series of Marshall amps. It all sounds pretty cool, but also importantly, this amp is a little gem if you're limited with volume but want real tube amp tones through a speaker or even headphones!

I have a link to a review of class A amps I did a while back here: Part one: https://youtu.be/JMFP64VMMEU and Part two: https://youtu.be/eM0vmGV4ieg so for anyone interested in this subject of great tones and tube amplifiers those two reviews might work for you.
Thanks for watching this video that is completely self financed right out of my pocket!
Don't forget to subscribe, ring the bell and click all for notifications to give my channel a boost - most appreciated. And also sub to evil owl studios channel if you can... that's operated by me too and presently there will be a studio PC upgrade to Intel 12900K, Win 11 and a host of other juicy bits as I show how it all installed and worked...
Lastly, there is no 'gambling' involved whatsoever in this guitar amplifier review. I don't show Andertons, Andertons Music or most of the other 'dealer channels' out there but I do show the Marshall class 5 head, known as the Marshall class 5 and you can see the demo right here.
