Verified · 92/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The SL5 is Marshall's 5-watt Slash signature combo, unveiled at NAMM in January 2013 as a follow-up to his limited-edition AFD100 head. Clean and Overdrive channels share a three-band EQ and presence, with three ECC83s and a single EL34 running single-ended in Class A. A 5/1-watt switch, footswitchable digital reverb and a Celestion Vintage 30 bring a hot-rodded Marshall voice down to bedroom volume.
