The
Marshall AFD100 has been co-designed
by Marshall and legendary rock guitarist
Slash.
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.
