Marshall AFD100 Amp Head Overview:
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.
