I play lefty and it still just looks wrong when I see another lefty.

[@the_releaser]

I'm the same. It's just looks wrong. I'm trying to switch but it's impossibly difficult to unlearn lefty and learn righty. Requires too much patients that I don't have anymore. For those interested in seeing how difficult it is, watch the video of Rob and Lee playing left handed guitars and you'll get some sort of idea how difficult it is when you know how to play and yet not be able to play because your hands literally don't want to do what you tell them to do.

[@glenkepic3208]

Great jam. Reminds me of grammer school (k to 6) and we're going to the multi purpose room (cafeteria) for a film strip. This was mid '60s. Bought a guitar recently. Wanted a Class 5 years ago. 5 amps already.

[@asda6572]

Chris is actually a real awesome guitar player, i'm surprised he's not really famous.

[@rikh78]

haha that blues jam didn't take long to turn into a shred fest :D awesome!

[@wsigona]

I think it was Slash that said about tone, "It's pretty much a no brainer you get a Les Paul and a Marshall tube amp and turn it to ten".

[@sergebardot]

@MrTomZombie - dude, yes it would. It's what I use. For a band practice, and for small gigs it will cope no problem. Where the problem is is in spread. It's just one speaker, and if you or someone stands in front of it they block your sound. For gigs I put a mic in front of it through the PA just to help the spread. It's a great amp, and the more I use it the more I like it. HTH SB

[@j2daworld]

just watching guys like these. Shows me how much I have to learn about the guitar...

[@5150RDH]

Amazing jam from two incredibly talented musicians on a kick-ass little amp!!! *****

[@MusicFillsMyLife]

@BelloKrebs why not, I rarely see anybody play live without pedals nowadays.

[@defnist47]

@050296gareth "On the rear is an extension speaker 16-Ohm out, so you can run your Marshall Class 5 tube amp into a 4 x 12" cabinet."

[@RobChappers]

Yeah mine doesn't really do that... but the cure for it is a Dunlop DD strap! It will grip your shoulder and keep it in place ;-)

[@AndyK.23]

@fretboarder I heard that you can connect the combo to a cab using the headphone out jack, and get a great built in attenuator.

[@RobChappers]

Hard to say, and depends on what you run them through... There's not much in it really - The Class 5 is very loud. But you have to drive them hard to get gain, it's a non master amp. Basically think mini blues-breaker on Redbull.

[@wsigona]

They have some 1 watt tube amps coming out this year but they are all limited production models and very expensive.

[@JeremyLam0]

that guy was crazy! he did marshalls demo for class 5 aswell i think

[@JeremyLam0]

definitely sounds great! although the blackheart handsome devil 15 watt combo is exactly the same price and seems to sound a little better...

[@neils68]

at 5:00 rob got called out!

[@Graiskye]

Chappers plays a pretty decent blues. nicely done boys.

[@bingefeller]

Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking of getting one in the new year perhaps for use at home.

[@DeadWhiteButterflies]

OMG, I was there today! I saw the guy in the green T-shirt. Didn'y know it was him. Creepy coincidence. I was the nerdy looking kid in the tight jeans and blue hoodie, if you saw me. It was a great show, tried out some lovely PRS guitars and got a photo taken with Jim Marshall. Mind=blown!

[@MaggaraMarine]

They have a low power switch (0,1 watt) in the new Class 5 combo.

[@samworthington123]

chris george and chappers are the MEN!

[@RobChappers]

Yeah actually I was just discussing this today! I takes them really well, especially reverb ;-) Tubescreamer's sounds nasty through them though which I was surprised at. If you can run it flat out then you won't need one unless you want searing rock like this. I would use a Big Muff, Hardwire CM2, Zvex Box of metal/rocks etc.

[@FaithGuitars]

That pizza needs more Cheese. Definitely not enough cheese..... Great to see ML and our good friend Mr George having a battle... Nice work guys.

[@fretboarder4752]

they seem like cool little amps but the thing about truning the amp up to get gain is a bit worrying since il only be using it in the house..

[@Goosemeyer]

agreed.. if you try to switch pickups and whack your John Thomas, it might be too low..

[@fretboarder4752]

yeah i seen that in a video here..only problem is then ive got shell out for a cab..if i was going to do that wouldnt it just be wiser to shell out for a better amp in the first place?? cheers..

[@RobChappers]

Thanks mate, yeah it was great fun. Chris is a really nice guy ;-)

[@adrianvdb]

Hey nice! I'm glad ur one oof those who understands that music is not about tapping on 400 miles/hour för 10 seconds. Its about feeling dude and you got it. cheers

[@RobChappers]

I should have prototype 2 in about a fortnight, proto 1 is on it's way to some retailers to look at ;-)

[@jamiehart1130]

What's up. Right On! cloistered expansion !!

[@RobChappers]

Great to play live, especially with such a solid band ;-)

[@JaredVanVlake]

I never said that Jimi was bad, just overrated and yes I do realize what he's done for music being the first to do what he's done. But there are just plenty more guitarists that I'd pick over him any day.

[@ADK_MSE]

Great playing, but his guitar is stupidly low and looks more uncomfortable than anything else...

[@RobChappers]

Wow... thanks mate, yeah great little blues to rip along to ;-)

[@CollyStrings]

We finally get to see the genius live playing of the epic Mr. Rob Chapman!

[@MrBIOSkunk]

5:46 After Rob get's knocked down he engages Monkey Strength and pulls out some mightly crazy solo - friggin awesome!

[@Darfuria]

Sorry about my shaky shaky filming guys! Chappers' usual camera dude couldn't make it, and I'm a terrible filmer - haha! That band were sweet though. Their drummer is ridiculous!

[@blitzedST]

I like the idea behind this amp and it sounds good too but its no bedroom amp its way to loud. wish Marshall and other companies would make a valve amp that can be used at real home volume levels clean and overdrive and with a 12" speaker they sound much fuller than a 10" IMO. I have an AVT20 and if you use some the recommended settings such as the JCM 800 one its so loud as to be pointless, and bare in mind this is a solid state power amp with only a valve pre amp. wish I could play louder :(

[@porgy08]

you can see Laurie in around 7:00 mesmerized by this shedding., lol

[@blitzedST]

Yeah I've seen them. I was interested in the JCM 800 one they are planning to release but it doesnt state which model in the 800 range its meant to be like. I've played through a 4010 and the 4203 (think those model numbers are correct) and they both have quite different tone. I guess the only thing to do is try when they come out

[@harryormemusic]

Oh man... Wish I'd been there. Chris and Rob are both such amazing players, massively jealous of all the guys there.

[@cplmac]

Just goes to show how bloody good George and Rob are.

[@gamerska]

Awesome man! Another one of your billion fans right here :)

[@RobChappers]

Yeah that's right mate It's a tuner - PWCT10 it's great ;-)

[@redbird963]

I CAN'T wait that long!

[@SilverSkyline92]

nice lil low down groove

[@stratdude83]

sick jam!

[@Killadey]

"These things go for £299". Wow, they are £500 now, they must be really popular. Maybe I should buy a HT-5R before Blackstar double the price.

[@motorrebell]

I recommend a BLACKHEART 5 watt little Giant Combo ( Has a 12 inch Eminence speaker ! ) - in combination with a Marshall Guvnor pedal !! AWESOME MARSHALL SOUND for not even Half the price !!

[@AlistairWedlake]

I was there and it was awsome. You cant do too much becuase it was a demo in a small room

[@snip84]

thats because his hero is SLASH!!! AWWWWW have to set my strap low as SLASH!!!! AAAAAHHHHHH

[@RobChappers]

Ha ha.. that was actually a bet! Someone said "I bet you can't open the solo and stay on one fret for more than a bar". Less = Moar ;-)

[@AJS19]

How did you have you Class 5 and BOR set? What the Class 5 clean, and then you used the BOR for the gain to keep the volume in the place reasonable?

[@PaulOuzounov]

You simply can't go wrong with EMG's.

[@bingefeller]

Rob how does the Class 5 take pedals? I'm assuming you'd want to throw a distortion pedal infront of it when practicing in the house...

[@Chipmonkcheeks53]

I think thats my favorite clip of you playing rob.

[@RolfGuitar]

If you don't think Slash has good tone, who does? Pretty difficult to have bad tone when you have a Les Paul with Seymour Duncans, 11 ga. strings, and a Marshall 100w tube head...

[@chopincookies]

Spot Tom Morello enjoys the jamming on the right.

[@broomiester]

incredibly, extreemly, awesome as always :D

[@d3reilly]

is this amp basically (concept-wise) Fender's champ, but with the sound of a plexi? Also, just my opinion put it seems like the Class 5s' aren't loud enough on the PA.....

[@lighteningboy]

The lefty is really good, man he hangs his guitar low!

[@RobChappers]

Thanks mate ;-)

[@Smudgie]

Couldn`t the Chris Dude find a long guitar strap?

[@JediNightiesVideos]

Chappers appears to have gone a little too far up that 'John Lennon' road in this video.

[@guitgeo]

Got to be the only band I've ever heard where the guitars aren't loud enough !!

[@MonkeyZo0]

Great stuff. Is that a Gibson Swamp Ash Studio Mark Trem...eh Chris George is playing?

[@VelezBiH]

good jam rob, btw i have the same shirt you wore in that video marshall is rock n roll

[@IAmTHEGoD0fHELLFIRE]

Ah pity guy on the left is a lefty, camera isn't placed right to see his finger work although have to say that was some stellar improvised jammin' from all involved.

[@Darfuria]

Rob is therefore now Italian win \m/

[@harmonic12th]

Chris' Les Paul is nearly touching his knee!! How can that be comfortable?? If that were me it would be catching the end of my... Just kidding!! Great playing Rob!!! (and Chris isn't bad either!!)

[@AlistairWedlake]

After the show i looked up the class 5, MA and Haze 40 and cant decide which id prefer.. any suggestions?

[@JoshDanielGuitar]

Only 5 watts? Awesome!

[@pjxdudex]

is it normal that the marshall is trilling inside when its in a louder volume? sorry for my bad english

[@jimihendrix19999]

Left hand drum and a left hand guitar! :D

[@the_releaser]

Dude! I didn't look at the drummer first couple of times, but you're right. That drummer is a lefty too. For anyone who is wondering how I know. It's something all lefties know cos it's a magical power we have. We can spot other lefties when we see them.

[@RobChappers]

Dude you did a great job ;-)

[@gmlasam]

I know what you mean. It seems like Marshall is back logged on these babies and can't meet the demand in time. Seems like the whole world is waiting to get these Class 5. For those you have these amps already, consider yourselves lucky blokes. I hope I get mine before XMas. I can't believe Marshall wants $399 for these amps. Talk about getting more than what you paid for indeed.

[@AlistairWedlake]

Hey Chappers i was one of the twins you met earlier. Awsome playing

[@austenslost]

a guitar strap is never too low

[@MrTomZombie]

dude would this amp be able to keep up with a full band like at small gig level... bigger gigs can just like mic it up and have no problems like but ive currently got a laney gh50l and im trying to shift it theres to much power there and i cant crank it but this thing i just wanna crank it and play so i get the full valve tone with a few pedals maybe what you think ?

[@samworthington123]

one of the best videos yet by the way!

[@Darfuria]

I'm quite fond of Domino's double decker pizzas. I can just imagine someone calling them. "... and what topping(s) would you like sir?" "... ANOTHER PIZZA!" And thus it was so!

[@twentysix23]

wow.... I like It!! amazingly !!

[@RobChappers]

Mine is just perfect, how do you mean unbalanced? Is your a 401 SM or a 260?

[@RobChappers]

Cheers mate, yeah I'll see you at LIMS ;-)

[@gewerh44]

This video is awesome, However I watched the vid cuz I wanted to hear a live performance using ONLY the Marshall Class 5, no overdrive pedals.

[@littlewing62]

i've tried the class 5 the other day. sounds a bit mushy to me full blast. i prefer the jcm800 1 watt amp.

[@cgavin1]

I was checking the classifieds today and you can literally buy the JCM900 heads for £350 used. Not sure why people want these twitchy little combos. The 'too loud' argument makes no sense. With the volume comes the tone. These combo amps just got no dick. I prefer a JCM on 0.5-1 over these.

[@Tolman18]

The answer is people want to push their power section power tubes and pre amp tubes as hard as they can. Reason is when this is done, you get an amazing over the top tone because tubes are supposed to be pushed hard if you want the best sound from them. I have a dual rectifier and I can't push its sweet sound, unless I'm at a large gig. If you have loud tube amps that are 100 or 50 watts, you can actually buy a power attenuator, which will allow you to push your tubes and keep the sound level at a much reasonable setting. Unfortunately they cost a good amount of money. I'm looking to get a small tube combo amp like this, so I can crank it hard and get the best warm rich tones possible. Hope this helped you somewhat. :)

[@skald98]

But a dual rectifier still sounds better at low volume than one of these boxy sounding tube practice amp at the same volume. You're not achieving any more so-called tube sound with a tiny tube amp than you would be with a full size tube amp in a bedroom/low volume situation. Even if the theory that 'well you have to turn dials more because it's not as loud right away, so the tubes are getting more work' held water, these cheap combos don't have the speakers or the box size or, in this amps case, the EQ dynamics to do anything you'd want long term. You'd never be able to dial in a great sound. It'd always be baby's first tube amp and you'd still be no closer to getting an excellent amp tone than you were before you bought it

[@Mr1GingerBread1]

Nice vid :) What is the Lefty doing at 6:33 ?

[@antihax91]

Chappers grooving out

[@JaredVanVlake]

Neal Schon or Richie Sambora to name a couple

[@saxby01]

Might be better off for everyone if they lengthened their straps a bit further so they can't reach the guitars.

[@Pink11oyd]

anyone know what the bass set-up is on this, is it the vba 400 or the mb450h sounds nice

[@Ukabumba]

so is it loud enough to go against the drums ?

[@defin99]

I have a bad back from looking at George with his floor guitar.

[@Darfuria]

Nathan certainly struggled with his... Ha ha ha

[@Griffo2001]

Loving the feedbacky bendy shizzle you were doing :) Yes, that is the technical term haha ;)

[@jonesr227]

That other guy's damn good (as well). Also, Rob, I'm concerned about your eating habits. Remember you are what you eat. :)

[@RobChappers]

Nice to meet you mate ;-)

[@guitari666]

This reminds me of the film crossroads

[@MojoPenguin]

You gotta love small venues, nice playing guys \m/

[@SoundboyStrange]

that...... plain and simple is a fucking brilliant jam...... *FULL STOP.
