My AFD dreams are just that dreams. I love the sounds from the AFD album and from just about everything that Slash has ever done but I also require versatility so Im gonna go with the TSL as it has a REAL clean channel with no Shared EQ compromises, the individual EQ's is a huge thing to me because on every multi-channel head that ive ever had only one had a shared and it diddnt just have inividual gain and volumes but had a Contour knob that was assignable to either gain channel so i could scoop the 3rd high gain channel, this was a workable shared EQ but even though it was a great amp i still wanted that ability to really dial in each channel seperately. Im getting the TSL wednesday and Im gonna put it through its paces, ive heard from several TSL owners that it can provide killer tones but just takes a little bit of EQ work to get to sound its best. Ive also looked into a #39 mod on the 1st gain channel in case im not happy with it.
But I think Im gonna love it and I will take the time to really dial it in!

I've never played a TSL so I'm looking forward to your comments and review. What cab and speakers will you be using with it when you get it tomorrow?
Right now i have 2 cabinets, A Randall Warhead cab that is a little over sized and is a straight cab with the v30's, my other cab is a B52 AT-100 Cab which has some kind of "custom 120 watt" speakers in it, but its alot punchier in the low end than the vintage 30's. But if I had to choose one it wound be the warhead with the v30's

I think all Marshalls like V30's its a matter if you like them. My bet is it will sound great through that cab.
