Marshall 5010 Master Lead Combo [1982-1991]

Standard look of a marshall combo
- 30W transistor amp,
- 2 among high and low,
- A sotie hp / line output
- Pota: 1EQ, 1 master, 1 presence and 1 Pramp
no need for manual!

USE

The config is very simple,
it's a combo that is ready, I just used my home (for repet concert and I have another amp).
the person who lent me the are 2! he uses repte and concert, but he told me he lacks power (hey yes 30W).

SONORITS

The sonority is cool:
Initially it's true I've tried and I got kind of sonority marshall sizzling with clear sound (I do not know if it's the amps that wants to or if it was because he is vieu ...) and since I noticed is that the Pramp pota kidding when thoroughly and pat it I get a good, nice distortion.
for a brief vieu 30W marshall has going to play at either, but this concert is very fair (in any event have to be taken up by the sound).

NOTICE GLOBAL

I have been with me for a me, my friend who has 2, has for quite some time, if I souvien he has purchased either was given him.
one that is home
the +:
the sound is nice for a small marshall
the old school look
the -:
bin lacks a power nap (but then seems to me to blame kitsch has a 30w amp be a 30w amp ...)
which would cool t is small switch that boosts the Pramp
the quality of the pota that virtually all déconnent.

An amplifier transistor. I use it to play the harp on it but it's a guitarist friend gave it to me (after being rejected several times by other guitarists). Despite its size and weight (it has almost the same size as the valverstate 2000 ...) and the name of Marshall, I recommend for those looking for power (and his side, ca is not worth the quality of an amp Tube ).... Nice guy looking for his old blues ...

The settings are fairly simpas

Side connections, just two inputs (low / high), no headphone

Here are the instructions on the manual:

IC and transistors built

Loudspeaker, Specially Designed 12 inch 70 watt RMS 4 ohm

Power requirment: Mains input - Internally set 220/240v. 40/60hz. 110/120V. 40/60Hz

Max input power 65vA
HP Output, Approximately 100mW Into 4/8ohm
Appromimately DI Output 600mV RMS output level at 30Watts

UTILIZATION

My brother (guitarist) no one has tested only once: for him, he is nice but lack of energy and it is reminiscent of the old blues - rock a little to Johnny Rivers.

For the harp, with one good mic or shure (although I advise against it) of the Bluesmaster hohner, we get a cool sound, the old blues sound ... Only regret is missing the reverb.

I found the manual on the net (on the website of marshall I think) and even the diagram technique for components etc ... the manual is limited to the strict minimum, some specifications ...

SOUNDS

For the harp, I find it pretty cool, it looks pretty cool with its old potassium.

The usual setting of marshall (simple: all the potassium in depth!) Is prohibited.

In short, this is the amp that could give the lie to the reputation of Marshall (I'd like to see play on metalheads, they would be surprised!)

OVERALL OPINION

It'll be a year since I have it.

What I like most is his former side, simple (the amplification system is very simplistic) and robust (I have no pota sizzling despite age). In addition, it is rare to find other people who have it. The look suits me very well.

What I like least is its weight and size (even if it was a 100W lamp, I will understand), the transport is a hassle ... its lack of power, crunch (and not easy to get the clean sound, ideal)

I tested the 2000 valverstate my brother (for the harp, I would not recommend), the Peyvey Classic (I know if the 70w or 100w) tube (TERRIBLE!) And a Custom 30W transistor (very good sound for the guitar).

I remain convinced that this is not the amp that will make me play better ... even though my teacher did not try, I think any good harmonica player is able to make it sound.

Small Amplifiers Transisitors 30W with 2 inputs (high and low), it has no effect but with a Boss pedal SuperOverdrive it makes a truly unique sound for the blues.

UTILIZATION

The setup is all that is simpler, and we get easily a good sound, the sound is quite clear round and clear in the treble, as the manual, I have not (purchase)

his genial with some pedals

SOUNDS

Personnelemnt, it suits me to do, I probably resell it.

I had a couple Boss SupoerOverdrive for the blues for me Restituta a grain just right, I love, no breath, a great sound.
I try other amps (lamps and transistors), but it is only he who has managed to get this feeling. (But I buy more ...)

OVERALL OPINION

must have about 5 years I have, I love it, but not for the sound, look also for its simple, it seems all nice but it can be very "crunchy"! haha
all I can really blame him is his weight ... I think it is really very heavy!

I try a lot of other models before taking it, just to compare, and I am not at all.
for the quality price ratio, I know not being given that gift, so ...

PS: It is great for studio recording (coupled with a nice little SM 57 ...) but it is obvious that with its small power of 30W is not to do ... what a shame .. scne .
