new 5w AFD combo at NAMM

[Snakeface]

why would they release a head when they released the AFD100 ?!?!....if you want a Slash signature head, go buy the AFD100 or the 2555SL...the AFD100 even has EPA to play at bedroom levels.

Because it is a signature combo there will not be a head.

I'm not sure why that would matter....did u confirm this with a rep or is it just speculation?

 

[santiall]

Everything I've seen so far still suggests to me DSL line with the exception of the speaker and hi/low input sensitivity.

0% DSL content. In other words, nothing to do at all with any DSL.

I see it different. I'd much rather they do a low watt head that is NOT a sig. and I believe they will/are.

There is the 1watt series, plenty of options to choose from that's not a sig. This is just essentially a low watt afd with a few extras. I would expect it to sound similar to its big brother. Besides wouldn't there be a conflict of interest if Marshall releases a mass produced head vs. the limited head?

I would definitely get one and it's easier to lug around than the afd100 head.

What if the sound of this thing is killer? Sig aside?

It is killer, once the video demos start hitting the skeptics will change their tune. If the amp sucked I would say so. Both channels are impressive. The $699 is a bargain...mark it down.

Confirmed.

Also it would be loud enough for rehearing. ..no problem unless your drummer is a crack head.

Because everyone can afford a $2000 amp head, right? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Will you be able to change the tubes in this thing without having to take it apart like the Class 5?

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

On top of the use of an EL34, the other thing I like about the amp is that it goes back to the aesthetics of the original Valvestates with the angled control plate.

Ok thanks for clearing that up Santiago. I retract my earlier comment.

I'm pretty sure it'll be easy access.

 

[Stringjunkie]

I wonder if the combo speaker will work when hooked up to an extension cabinet. That would be pretty cool.

Thank goodness once again slash comes through with the goods! solid back, 12inch speaker, valves, reverb. It's almost jtm30 like. this thing should be REALLY good.

Now all I need is some slightly damaged ones and I'll get it cheaper.
