NAD: It's here! AFD100 in the house!

[Philly Q]

Fingers crossed they've fixed it properly!

[Telerocker]

That's good news.  :)

Quick update for everyone.  I've had a call to say my AFD100 is back at Sounds Great from being repaired at Marshall.  That's a pretty darn good turnaround - I dropped it off last Tuesday afternoon, so that's ony one week  :)

I can't get there to pick it up today, so tomorrow night will be testing night  ;)

  Wow ! That's really impressive !Great  8)!

Well I picked the amp up yesterday, and the biasing is now working fine which is good!  But the volume wobbling was still there  :?

At the suggestion of Mrs Twinfan, I've just spoken to Marshall tech support and the actual guy who repaired it.  How cool am I?  :lol:

The bias problem was a resistor that had blown, caused by me putting some cr@ppy valves in (whoops!).  The volume wobbling *may* be that I've got the power control on a crossover point, and moving it slightly up or down will cure it.  It's not a liner 'pot' as such, but a digital control that might be between triggers.  I need to get it happening again and raise or lower the power setting and see if it goes away.  Something to try over the weekend.

So I've got to say top marks to Marshall for the customer service, excellent so far!

Is it the YJM100 or JYM100?

Their proofreader needs a Red Bull!

Tried it, and it still does it.  You move the pot and it's OK again for a bit then it wobbles again.

Back to Marshall - double arse!

That totally sucks. Unbelievable!

If I had money kicking about I'd probably buy one. Plexi with an overdrive in front is THE sound for hellish mid-grind extreme metal. In my book, anyroads. Plus it's barely got any Yngwie livery, not like the stupid Kerry King head or the Slash nonsense on the AFD100, both of which are amps I'd consider buying, otherwise.

However, wouldn't the true Yngwie sound be a 50W instead of a 100W?

 :lol: You beat me to it! Yngwie definitely prefers the 50 watter.
Edit: It does have a switch to half the power though. :P

dang, that's bound to be annoying :(

[Twinfan]

It is!

Ah well, that's what warranties are for I guess!

[JacksonRR]

Perhaps they can put that feature on the Yngwie amp. It emulates his volume swells for you.
