Agree. Release the Jubilee again and do it right. It'd become a mainstay/staple of the Marshall lineup in my opinion. Don't really understand why they ever discontinued it, but then I'm not a huge Marshall historian either.

I guess you mean a clean amp with two built-in boss overdrive pedals?
cause that would be a JCM 900 :lol: :LOL:

They're seriously dropping the ball here. When are we going to get a hot rodded Marshall? I'm not talking a JVM either. Something that sounds like Fortin or Friedman's mods! (yes, I'm aware they were in talks with Mike Fortin and it didn't pan out, but they should continue this pursuit).

That would be pretty awesome. But for 700 more then what they would charge you could get the handmade marsha :rock:

I'm a huge Slash fanboy but that is kinda lame. :thumbsdown:
I've owned a couple Caswell modded Marshalls and in the end my Fortin can nail the AFD tone and much much more.
There is no point to these amps with Fortin, FJA, Voodoo (etc) around.
Marshall should just make a proper JCM800 or bring back the Jubilee instead of wasting time with that AFD100.

What is wrong with the new jcm800s?
 
Well let's see what they come up with. I do think the AFD tone has something special. I wonder if that kind of pissed off upper mid can be got with a tad more low end without flubbing out.

Maybe they go down the Hardwired route with this one? It will come with two Masters and 4 inputs, so it could be an interesting platform.

Have you seen these from the AFD100 site yet?

I dunno, every newer Marshall I play feels like a toy. I think DSL's are decent and I didn't think the JVM totally sucked, but they just feel like cheap plastic and sound fizzy as hell. Even the old one's don't do it for me like the modded ones do.
And I also think the Use Your Illusions are better than AFD despite a few weak points. :dunno: I'm just so sick of AFD.
 
to me AFD is what rock guitar is supposed to sound like. all other gnr afterwards never sounded as good, especially the lead tones sounded kinda fuzzy or something on the later albums, nothing like the balls AFD had. and to whoever says that tone doesnt have balls i dunno, maybe your just used to playing with retardo levels of gain. i never felt gain = balls. AC/DC is a perfect example of that.
 
To me, the Appetite tone is very good, but it sounds dated. I think AIC's first couple albums are what rock is supposed to sound like. (for me ;) ) To me it's a tone that holds up better over time and is still just as valid as when it debuted. But that's just my opinion and taste. Don't get me wrong, I grew up on GN'R and love em, just sick of appetite.
 
Is it just me or was AFD recorded just with Slashs amp? What about Izzy's Mark III as part of the overall mix? Duno..not really excited about what he is going to do with this amp. Just another hail mary for Marshall!
 
I've always thought about that. Izzy seems pretty non existant in the mix.
 
Sweet sounds like a Bogner XTC blue channel no boost :D
 
I like slash and I like his tone for the style of music he plays.
