It's not a liner 'pot' as such, but a digital control...
i'm all for being progressive technichally, but this sounds just wrong to me

So I've got to say top marks to Marshall for the customer service, excellent so far!
i agree, marshall have always been top notch in my dealings with them, and quite reasonably priced too

that sucks, man.

Didn't know the volume was a digital control.
I wonder if Marshall just swapped a PCB. heard of anyone else having a problem?
(purely speculation) the work they do to yours might end up being in later runs and you'll be part of the development... in a way.

the Yngwie amp looks great - a plexi with power scaling, effects loop and a foot-switchable boost in the front end.

whats NOT to like about that? - sounds like Marshall have put into place some improvements which encompass all the usual things that people bitch about when playing the old non-master volume Marshalls.

i was looking a the specs and thinking it was quite a sensible design too. classic good looks as well.

i wonder what the prices will be like.

can't imagine they'll be any more expensive than the AFD100.

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.

Hey, the Kerry King model is awesome!

i've liked the clips i've heard - but those tribal graphics are in doubtful taste IMO

Doubtful, but rather inobstrusive IMO.

Unobtrusive!? They're caked all over the front of it. Otherwise yes, cool amp. Likewise the Slash one, though the graphics aren't as rotten, the silly Slash picture/logo thing is still honking.

they should do a limited edition run in purple, because we all know that purple amps sound best  :lol:
