SLASH Unveils New MARSHALL AFD100 Amplifier At NAMM

January 16, 2010

According to MusicRadar.com, Slash appeared at the Marshall booth at this year's NAMM (National Association Of Music Merchants) show to unveil AFD100, a brand new amplifier which recreates the fabled 100-watt JCM2203 the VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES guitarist used to record GN'R's seminal 1987 debut, "Appetite For Destruction".

Watch video footage of the unveiling below.

Slash told Guitarist magazine editor Mick Taylor, "That amp has been subject to a lot of talk of the years. It was an amp I originally rented from SIR, and of all the amps I tried out, it just sounded amazing. So basically I stole it! Then I left it in the back of the truck one day when we were rehearsing at SIR and they kinda' took it back.

"Over the years, there have been a lot of people out there trying to replicate this amp, so we gathered all the information and put it out as the Marshall AFD100."

Paul Marshall added: "Slash is going in to the studio for his new solo album which will be available from April 6. It's such an exciting opportunity for all of us to recreate that 'Appetite' tone, that we couldn't keep quiet about it.

"So for the very first time, fans of Slash and Marshall will be able to go online and follow the amp's development; the concept, the work by the designer, the circuit, Slash trying and testing it… right through to the launch later this year. We have a dedicated web site set up at www.afd100.com. We'll be uploading progress updates, video content and more."
