Well, I am starting to think the AFD 100 is the best Marshall ever

[EJstrat&JVM]

I've always liked the demos, initially I wasn't sure it was better than VintageModern or Silver Jubilee, but now I am confident this is really the sweet spot for vintage bright nasal sparkling woody tones. Initially I thought, well if Slash is not using it, it might be because the Jubilee is better than the AFD 100. But actually now I think Slash, like any mortal, is victim of the same mistake: judging an amp at bedroom level without an attenuator.
Also, not many people have the chance to buy and play such an expensive amp. And most importantly even if you mod your Marshall with a #34 or any other mods, it will never sound like an AFD 100.

Did you buy and play one?

Or are you just daydreaming.

Again.

It's certainly a good amp if you want to sound like Slash. I won't put it down for nailing that range of tones!

But my tastes run a bit "browner".

Nice Bait.

Browner?

You mean like this?

I fogot to mention that I am not a slash fanboy, never been that, I just like the sound of that amp. And I have compared all the demos on youtube, since I know very well the difference between live and demo, I am very careful before judging. Often what you hear live, is not what your ears really want to hear when you record it.

I didn't buy it yet, but I tried it in person, simply mind blowing. I need to save money now!

watafak I kept waiting for the actual real demo, knowing Ola, but it never happened lol

I played a Les Paul with SD alnico II pros through the first 'Slash' Marshall on my way to purchase a Jubilee. It was GREAT! So is the Jubilee I bought later that day. I was buying a Fender Eric Johnson Strat from the guy with the Slash amp. He was cool enough to let me jam through his rig. GOOD STUFF. All of it.

I’ll give you credit for breaking the norm for sure.If you would have said the Jcm 800 was the greatest Marshall ever you would be a saint on this forum.Not that I agree that either of those models are the greatest Marshall ever but if it works for you rock on!!

My tone was used as the model for that pedal.

Let's just say, it may be the best Marshall ever "in your eyes".

 

[Trelwheen]

The AFD can't possibly be the best Marshall ever.

Because

I ....

....have the best Marshall ever. (And it's not an AFD.)

So there.

AFD doesn’t sounds like the original amp by itself, it sounds like the recording. That’s why it sounds strange on his own (processed, sterile, body missing) but when you record it, it sounds perfect.

In the room many other amps sound much nicer - 800, 2555, 1959, Vintage Modern, etc
