SOUNDS

Immediately the amp sends the wood 5W for training in more than sufficient room, you can play with the gain and volume to carved rendering, where I am less enthusiastic is that the sound signature a too comes in, it's still a more airy Mesa but was still a pretty significant compression, it is more the sound of the last modern Slash album, but to the side a little bluesy kind of drive JCM 800, I 'm a little less convinced, being a fan of the old period Slash ...
You can push the clean to have a natural drive, the result is quite satisfactory, but as soon as you drive rocker shades are not the same as we enter the bacon uncle ...
It stays clean for a Marshall clean So here it is said, after not to clean it takes Marshall
5W/1W I think it's a little too tight it would have had to 15W/5W because performance with HP is below, it lacks dynamic not to be confused with the volume
If we sound good british Marshall mix more with this law and the modern Celestion V30 after purists may not like,

OVERALL OPINION

This is a very good amp for training in an apartment which is still the target of this model after it is not rendering the JCM800 sound had not dreamed of being in possession of the JCM800 4010, I still has to keep a good time, that I wanted to replace this model eventually I'm not going to do it now, despite all the SL5 is a good amp, for the price against € 685 it seems a bit expensive for 5W made in China, but the sound is good as there after ... why deny it ...
