Where did you get that info from? First I've heard!mike buffery wrote:the main things that are selling it for me are the self biasing and the built in wattage changer from 0.1W to 100W output
Totally agree. I bought a new Slash Signature 2555SL in 2000 which was a limited run of 3,000. By then the amp had been in the shop in a busy UK City for four years with no interest. Even 15 years after the amp came out, you can still find them on ebay and they are still not 'silly' money considering the 'rareness' of this model.Lavox wrote:I think all 2,300 will be sold eventually but I doubt very much if the AFD100 becomes an unobtainable bit of gear within a year. If we walked into a music shop that had one right now, we'd all have a shot on one if we had the time or we'd at least hang around and listen to someone putting it through it's paces, but how many of us would actually buy one?
I know that might not sit well with you Slashwannabe, but honestly, 2,300 is PLENTY for those who would actually buy one.
Start saving or selling gear NOW. You'll get one. Don't worry.
I don't think so, that would ruin the tone. If it does have this option (and I have not seen that information anywhere) I would bet it is done using power scaling.Mats A wrote:Has it like a built in attenuator? How does it work?
100W adjustable down to 0.1W - I have to hear with my own ears if the amp keeps the tone at lower wattage.Appetite For Detail
The AFD100 is offers inbuilt power attenuation. This technology has been developed in order to allow the output power to be modified without affecting the tone. Unlike external passive attenuators, this feature electronically modifies power amplifier parameters like HT, and feedback, working together with an auto-biasing circuitry. Providing attenuation inside the amplifier in this way enables the user to go from full 100W down to 0.1W just by turning a knob. This type of attention to attenuation guarantees not only full on Marshall tone but at any volume.
On top of this the Auto Biasing feature means that you can ensure your amp is tuned up whenever you start it. If there is aver a fault with a valve instead of having to test which one needs replacing the indicator light will illuminate showing you which valve to change.
