| Marshall AFD100 Slash signature amp - £1199 NOW IN STOCK (but hurry) Currently IN STOCK but due to sell out very soon.... The Marshall AFD 100 is based on the original JCM800 that was used by
Slash to record the album, "Appetite for Destruction" by Guns 'n' Roses.
Slash helped design and tweak the amp to make sure it is as close to
the original amplifier as humanly possible Slash loved this amp when he had it, and 'forgot' to give it back to
the rental company. In fact the rental company stole the amplifier back
out of the studio Slash was using some time later. This particular amplifier has since disappeared only to be talked
about in hushed voices, and some mystery has since surrounded the
amplifier which produced the exquisite tones that became synonymous with
one of the greatest albums, and greatest guitarists, of all time, and
seemed lost forever. Marshall and Slash have decided to limit production of the AFD100 to
2300 pieces worldwide, making it a sought after collectors item. The AFD100 is offers inbuilt power attenuation. This technology has
been developed in order to allow the output power to be modified without
affecting the tone. Unlike external passive attenuators, this feature
electronically modifies power amplifier parameters like HT, and
feedback, working together with an auto-biasing circuitry. Providing
attenuation inside the amplifier in this way enables the user to go from
full 100W down to 0.1W just by turning a knob. This type of attention
to attenuation guarantees not only full on Marshall tone but at any
volume. On top of this the Auto Biasing feature means that you can ensure
your amp is tuned up whenever you start it. If there is aver a fault
with a valve instead of having to test which one needs replacing the
indictor light will illuminate showing you which valve to change. The Marshall AFD100 Main Features Include: - Reproduction of the Marshall head used by Slash on Appetite for Destruction
