The Marshall Slash AFD100...OK, maybe I want a Marshall too..

[jhale667]

Just saw this demo Slash did on WoodyTone...sounds pretty cool. Especially if that's it (apart from when he plays the 'Welcome to the Jungle' riff w/the echo) un-adorned, no tube screamer or anything in front of it...me likes...




Apparently it's got 6550 power tubes...I'd like to check one out in person. Great thanks to Slash I'm GAS'ing for one of those Replica 'o the Replica LPs and the freaking amp...

Here's a shot of his settings..

Slash has basic Marshall / Gibson tone...

You don't need a special model to achieve tone that countless bands have been getting since Aerosmith arrived on the scene in the early 70's...

From the blog at afd100.com, it may have a variac switch or power scaling of some sort on it. And an input like the RR amp where one input is stock and one input modded. The protype is just a JCM800 shell to tweak the circuit but the finished model is to look like a plexi

Just buy a Kerri King 2203...

Best sounding "stock" amp of any kind I ever plugged into...

I've been interested in the KK amp, but hate the tribal markings on it.

Buy a different case...

You can get custom colors for around $250

Here's a link (they tend to help) if you're looking for a replacement head-shell...

I called Splawn to have one of their Marshall mods done but they weren't taking orders...

Their head boxes are top notch...

MojoTone makes nice ones as well.

Back chasis view to reveal 5 preamp tubes and a gut shot

I don't play enough anymore to warrent buying a Marshall tube head. I have a solid state Marshall head that's pretty cool for me. I can't remember the model but it's a decent head.It doesn't sound anything like that AFD100.

Played through one of those solid-state MGD50 stacks at that annual charity festival gig last year...um, HATED it. As a matter of fact, every other guitarist who played through it that day said they hated it too...


Except for a few modeling amps, and PODfarm for recording, not really a fan of solid-state.

It's not a tube amp but it's ok for me. I can't justify spending that much money on a head. I got used at Guitar Center.

If it works for your needs, rock it.
