Marshall SL-5 Slash Signature 5 Watt Combo

So, it was June 2013 when I decided to go to Guitar Center and try the new Slash combo and see how good it was, I loved it and I had to take it home, It was the only one they had (go figure it's always that way at the GC stores) but either way I wanted it, the girlfriend helped me out and ended up getting it!. See it as I was taking it home: (I was actually going to trade that flanger but they offeref me like $30!)

After playing it for a while I've noticed that it has a ton of gain, the reverb is great for the Sweet Child O'Mine intro and for the most part using a les paul with Seymour Duncan Alnico 2 Pro pickups you will get plenty of distortion with the gain knob half way up. The clean sound is not that exciting, that's it's only downside.

Next I want to try it with a 4x12 cabinet and see how it sounds that way, I actually never owned a 4x12 so maybe it's time to get one.

Personally I love this amp, it sounds amazing even at only 5 watts I used it live for a fill in show with a cover band and it sounded great. The track below is me playing the solo of GN'R's The Garden thru the SL-5, my upcoming project (full lesson and performance of every GNR record) will be using this amp and hopefully a JCM800.

Stay tuned!
