Thoughts? A 5 watt el34 amp sounds like it could be a great recording and bedroom amp

Into it. I'm curious to see how the pricing of 'em will be.

Scroll down the page from that link.

Not of any real interest to me.

Looks like $450 for the 5 watt combo

Every low-wattage tube amp deserves a try. There's no real way to translate specs to tone, but I'm willing to keep an open mind.

I've never seen a low wattage amp with el34 power tubes before, so I'm excited. I'm not a fan of el84s.

These will take an EL34:

Tried one of these last year. It's pretty great.

Of course neither are really trying to do the Marshall thing.

This is/was a 5W single-EL34 Marshall that was capable of much more than the Slash signature would imply. Great amp, huge sounding for "only" 5W (had a very large cabinet for a 5W amp, that's probably partly why)

These look very cool. Love the power switching options. 50 watt down to 1/2 watt. Nice Marshall crunch, but also clean.....

Maybe Marshall made a Fender.....

"Marshall drive with Fender cleans" have been promised by many amps for many years. I don't think there was ever any agreement that it happened.

I love Marshall cleans, for the record :D

I've been looking for a used Class 5 for a few months, and the Origin 20C with low wattage power scaling is super attractive. Seems like a great little amp.

I feel like this line might have been interesting 5-10 years ago.

What's changed? It's a more "vintage Marshall" sounding DSL line, there's not really anything else competing with it. Small tube amps are either high gain (Orange, Blackstar) or Fender.
