Just played the SL-5

[Alpeggio]

Whats the purpose of this small low wattage amp? To low in power for a real gig unless mic'd. Is this part of the Marshall Low Watt amps for collectors and bedroom players? Asking because I don't know. Even 15 watts is light as a gigging amp.

Whats the intended use for this amp? Home?

Yes, Home use, or recording or in Slash's case, back stage warm up. Would be ideal for people who gig with the AFD, but want to practice at home with a close sounding small combo.
I'd be interested in it from a home recording point of view. It has one of the sweetest lead guitar tones I've heard, more retro than my JVM1 but with the same amount of usable gain.

Last weekend I just played this amp at our local shop.
First impression was great. Much better as another small wattage amps.
In two weeks I will take this little baby at home and will check it with my guitars
And cabs too. After I will decide keep or get back to the shop.
Basic it should be an practice amp for my son. My JMPs are great but simple
too loud.
