Marshall 5275 Reverb 75 [1984-1991]

It's a transistor amp with reverb 75 w analog séparée.il a spring has an output jack traditional output footswitch, an effects loop on the back.
It dates from the 80 I have no idea of ​​the date in question, and I find very little information over the web, a priori, this amp is not very common.

UTILIZATION

I buy a flea market during the time for the modest sum of ..... 150 fr! there had a problem with reverb, in fact it was just the springs were gone! not a great deal!
So I have no manual nor the footswitch!

there are a lot of settings:

+ Volume Gain for channel saturated volume for the clean channel, and finally Treble Tone + + + Middle + Reverb Master Volume for the General.
the knob and a push and pull to activate the clean channel or saturated!
And finally a knob behind the amp to the volume of the effects loop.

You can really settle it with onions!

SOUNDS

I play it with mainly guitar humbuckers, I also have a stratocaster.

The resulting sound is very vintage, it sounds almost like a little lamp of the first series Valvestate out later, but warmer.
This gives a clear sound jazzy, it is not too crystalline at this level but the sound is very nice and friendly! it's almost acoustic.

In full, the receiver comes into its own, the crunch is perfect for the blues, climbing on optient a saturation limit Led Zeppelin's rock, climbing is a little heavy metal sound optient but without falling into the fat saturation trash-death.
In fact it has a very rock, but with the addition of a distortion pedal to the metal canl clear, it does matter!
or even an overdrive channel coupled with the saturated, it sounds very heavy, although the trash slayer.Des time I put a tube screamer ibanez on boosted channel, it matters to him more and it moves pretty violent!
This amp will please those who love Vintage sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since 1999.
I like this amp, it is powerful, it has a very personal and we can shape the sound you want, I regret not having the footswitch and especially not find the model that goes with it!
I try a lot of amps, and before buying one if I had mostly small amps 25 -30 watts, this is my first marshall, honestly I got attached, but now I am looking Instead, a modern sound that I can not have him, but I do not mean to part with it, or else for another marshall but I would have tried one that makes the vintage sound and modern sound, no obvious !
it's good amplifier and damage it so rare to find!
I would do this purchase was primarily a marshall fr 150 for just the spring that it jumped the fact!
I saw on a website selling opportunity has $ 375 so I think it can be found in the € 250 - € 300 a can near its price point, a condition to fall over!

It's a transistor amp.
It is given to a 75W.
HP: Celestion Sidewinder 150W / 8 ohm.
EQ: Bass 100hz/mid 450hz/Treb 10Khz
The boost Eq.
Adjustable reverb.
Clean channel + big + disto disto.
Trs is basic, but this amp starts dating.

UTILIZATION

Configuration very simple. You plug the power supply, the pedals reverb / distortion, the guitar and go!
This gives a sound easy, is it good? that's another story
Manuel does not exist, but is it necessary?
It is small, that's what made his relative success in a time less than 20 years can not know.

SOUNDS

I am playing a lot of styles, so it does not fit all that I play.
I use a hybrid guitar (Seymour Duncan and DiMarzio pickups, neck and body of luthier wood ???????), a Mexican Start and another skyscraper (sub-brand or other jackson I do not know) ...
The sound is the Marshall, trs not crystalline, but with my stratum gives a clean sound, color lgrement bluesy, not dgeulasse.
On my guitar hybrid, clean sound is not terrible, any trs. The sound without the distortion is qualisation trs garage rock, with qualisation is the distortion typical Marshall. So we like it or not.
With sub-machine, not great, but just the guitar that sounds pretty bad.
Anyway, I mainly used a pdalier. In clear, the effects of pdalier said. It sounded, but like the transistor, farewell beautiful heat lamps.
The DI output is pourrave directly on a console, the sound is unusable (but may be it comes from me). Ditto for the headphone output. In fact, as we do not pass through the HP, the sound is trs "synthetic", so ugly trs.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp for more than 13 years.
I like its small size (he dubbed the silent cube) and the power it DGIG given its size.
What I like least, that's a "monolithic", too. I mean, even in the qualiseur fiddling, change very little sound. But for those who like Marshall is not Gnant.

I had bought the 4300 era Frs. It made me proud and services rpt concert (configuration scnes bars and small), its power is largely sufficient. I have great affection for this little thing, a little nostalgic. It was my first real amp does even when! But as it is versatile and trs little heat that is sorely lacking, well, you get tired of this little bestiolle was always a frustration of not having a sound.
I think dj for the silent era's report qualitprix some lev (but you have to pay the small white logo on the amp).
Whatever, when you see the price of the amp now !!!!!!!!!!!

Amp 75 Watts RMS at 8 ohms Transistor.
Celestion Sidewinder speaker 8 Ohms 150Watts
Frequency of 100Hz to 10kHz
It has a footswitch input, Effect send / return, headphone output, speaker output for 8 / 18 Ohm and the most interesting output jack with a knob adjusts the level.

This is an amp uncommon in France. Blessed is he who has one.

UTILIZATION

Before this amp I owned a JCM800 75W combo which fell in the road after 3 years.
I had one wish to buy one soon but I have not found.
So in desperation I go into my local music store and the salesman showed me that this amp was there for a long time behind boxes.
I trusted Marshall I tried it on a guitar at random and I liked its power.
So I buy 2500Frs at the time.
On returning I plugged my Telecaster over and behold I discovered the sound of this amp.
Both say it's a wonder the sound that comes out is like seeing higher than that of a tube amp.
The sound is very vintage is exactly what I wanted.

SOUNDS

I use it with a Telecaster and I must say that even with a little adjustable wanted it reaches a beautiful sound.
Used with a footswitch to switch it clear sound with a warm distortion worthy of Angus Youg.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 10 years and it suits me perfectly.
In a group of funk or rock it fits perfectly.
A pleasure and a real power.
If I had to buy an amp that would be the one without any hesitation.
It is compact and light enough.

- What kind of amplification (lamp, transistor ,...)?
Transistors
- What is the power dlivre?
75 watts if I do not say BTIS
- What connection?
At the front: a jack of the guitar to + 1 for the footswitch jack
At the rear: send and return jacks for effects loop, a DI output jack with his potentiomtre, a jack and a headphone jack to connect an external HP.
- What are the rglages the effects? ...
Section boost: a push-pull potentiomtre Gain (which switches between an OD the other when using a footswich), a volume knob and one tonalitbr /> Section clean: a potentiometer volume be "Normal" (corresponding to prampli my opinion), an EQ with knobs for treble, and bass mdiums, a knob for rverb, and one for the volume g nral
So only one effect: a spring that remains rverb drinking until 3 or 4 APRS blah blah ...
9 although it is only because trs ct full connectivity, a nice t trmolo would like some Fender.

UTILIZATION

- The configuration is it simple?
You turn the knobs and playing.
- Gets it easy to sound good?
Oh yes, there is to do well, for against, the footswitch only allows to alternate between clear, a saturated ct and enable / disable the rverb the other c t.
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
A book? Why? And anyway I bought used so no book
9 only because I prfr the footswitch allows switching between clean and OD OD1/OD2 one hand and on the other.

SOUNDS

- Is it your style of music?
To play the AC / DC or KISS and other old rockers there may be better but the dj is good trs.
- With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?
Regular partner of Marcel's "Paulette" well sr (photo on my profile) for 1 year is also my reoit RGX420S YAMAHA.
Effects, it is my gnral KORG G3, but also some BOSS pedals (DS1, SD1, OC2, AW3, DD3, TR2, CH1) and adpend of my desires. Sometimes I want to play with some sweets or Trmolo chorus, otherwise, I moved on to reggae with self-wha and delay, and then like yesterday afternoon APRS happen to me here must STRID.
- What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
I said yesterday that overall, my sound is pretty chubby
- What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest?
When I put my YAMAHA 5 position (R1 + F1) I get a sound strat plutt fawn I love Clapton used to play the riff of "Outside Woman Blues"
10 because I still find it quite versatile

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
Since June 1998 I bought a 1500 Francs friend
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Dlivre for the power it is not too large an amp and it's pretty cool br /> - Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Before I played on my little ARIA 35W that I put in a deposit sales, but I never saw either the color or the money. Band of thieves !!!!!! No more for me DPTS sale
- How do you report qualitprix?
I have often said I m'tais ripped off, but a 1500 W MARSHALL 75 Francs 9 years ago, you could look a little ... Today it is well sr virtually nothing.
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
That's because I'm not too high roller, because if Marshall was small 20 W lamps for all 300/400 at best, a good kick my. A small all-tube Laney also please me.
All he wants to work, it will be mine ... oh yes it will be mine ... I love it so 10/10
