Description
A 2011 Marshall AFD100 Slash signature tube amp head. This was a limited run amp, with only 2300 ever produced. The AFD100 was desigened to replicate two of Slash's classic amps--his modded JCM800 2203 and the modded 70s 1959 used on Appetite for Destruction. A must-have for any serious GnR fan. This amp has been cleaned and tested. It is fully functional and sounds fantastic. Includes original footswitch and slip cover.
From Marshall...
Introducing the AFD100--a dual-mode, all-valve 100-Watt head that revisits the legendary tones of one of, if not the most important, rock albums of the last three decades. As well as reproducing what is regarded by many as the "Ultimate Rock Sound", the AFD100 also contains some truly awesome features, the first being Marshall's new electronic power attenuation. This incredible technology allows you to precisely adjust the maximum power outputof the AFD100 without losing any of that sought-after tone. No limited wattage choices to click between and no compromising your tone, just smooth and consistent power attenuation that is simple to use and makes the AFD100 ideal for stage, studio and home use.
The twin modes--#34 and AFD-are based on two of Slash's legendary tones. The first is taken from Slash's 'modded'JCM800 2203 (complete with stenciled 34 on the side) that he has used since the late '80s. The second provides an additional gainstage and is, of course, based on the infamous 'Appetite Amp', widely believed to be a modified 1959 Tremolo from the mid-70s. Both modes provide a unique, harmonically-rich, natural valve-driven tone, ideal for thick crunchy rhythm and wild soaring solos alike.
