my guess is that Slash's new Marshall will be some kind of variation on the Vintage Modern amp which Slash used on much of the last VR album.

A VM Channel 1 and a 2555 Channel 2 with a built in Boss DD-2 would be a pretty awesome amp!!

The AFD 100. There's supposed to be a dedicated website www.afd100.com but it goes to bog std Marshall site at the moment.

Now it goes to the right place, looks like they were a tinsy bit behind the announcement getting it sorted.

It's more of an announcement that they're going to make an amp than anything about the amp itself.

No.

Given the best they (Marshall) can come up with is a Mega practice amp and an announcement about a non-existent amp (as yet) then I don't think it's anything to be straining one's wrist over.

It's about as exciting as me saying I'm planning on doing a very large poo on Tuesday, and that I plan on reading the new Guitarist whilst I do it, as it means I'll have something to wipe my arse on! Lets face it, it's about as much use as Guitarist is these days. If only they'd put a picture of that tw@t Simon Bradley in it so I could also get the satisfaction of rubbing his face in my post prandial (I'm Welsh, where on earth do I come up with these English words from) curry discharge.

I'm f**king STOKED about the MEGASTACK!!

If AFD were to be recorded now I'm sure Slash would use a MEGASTACK... Technology moves on and Marshall apply all the knowlege of the past to create the MEGASTACK...

I've heard that superstar guitarists claim that a new marshall "sounds totally slamming, the overdrive is crushing"

Hey where is the love for the major British manufacturer here? They (as opposed to many other makers) have their labour still from UK.

But yeah it's just a PR shamble at the moment. Let's wait and see what kind of amp they'll be able to build.

Its very mechanised in there, the handwired series is a bit more like UK labour.

i quite like marshall - they still make good stuff from time to time, the offical spares are quite reasonably priced, and they are always very helpful on the phone.

it depends on the price of course, but the AFD100 does sound very interesting

Well there's only so much chipboard and cheap PCB's we can take...

Seriously, they seem to have a lot of models nowadays, it's hard to keep up.  Marshall have a great heritage and it's good they are still huge but if I wanted a classic Marshall I'd get somebody to build it for me!

Aside from the tour, it's interesting how Paul Marshall refers to his dad as Mr Marshall, rather than Jim, or Dad... bit strange to me!
Title: Re: 8 hours to go!!!!
Post by: Afghan Dave on January 17, 2010, 08:41:10 PM
yeah I noticed that.. Calling your dad Mr Marshall?

He must have been beaten as a child, obviously the only rational explaination.  :?
Title: Re: 8 hours to go!!!!
Post by: Dmoney on January 17, 2010, 09:08:08 PM
but if you worked there i dunno, i wouldnt really need reminding of who the owners dad is.
I worked with a guy at a company which is dad owned, and he didnt refer to the owner as dad, he used Mr.
I think it can be a workplace thing. i dont think its weird or reflective of the type of relationship they had.

No, there is obviously a history of abuse and I can't ignore the warning signs... I'm gonna call the NSPCC.

Wouldn't it be cool if Jim had a hand puppet that actually ran the company...

"cheap" PCBs?

All considered, you pay a lot for a Marshall PCB amp.
