Is this exciting?

Doesn't seem so to me..

Should this be exciting?  :?

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!
