Slash Live last night with the AFD100

[surfnorthwest]

This video just showed up from a performance last night. Not positive this is the AFD100 however you can clearly see the AFD100 lit up behind him. Also looks like he was playing a LP Axcess.

Correct! Slash is using a Les Paul Axcess on "Nothing to Say" (the most Metal song of his solo album - vocals done by M. Shadows, from Avenged Sevenfold).

It's a very nice tune. Live, there are 3 guitars on stage: Slash and Bobby Schneck (of course) but Myles Kennedy is also playing at that moment (on a PRS).

Ultimate proof ( ):

If you have any doubt in Myles Kennedy guitar capabilities:

I had the pleasure of seeing Slash and crew 2 weeks ago here in Melbourne.

I can confirm he's been using the AFD100 since Singapore early August.

This from the Marshall AFD100 blog:

Once the prototypes were assembled the moment of truth came. We met Slash with the working amps in Hong Kong on the 29th July before his first show on the current Asian tour. As his first impression was very positive he decided to use them straight away for the show and perform a real test in a live situation with the band. Feedback was quite good and just a small tweak was needed. Slash wanted the amp a little less aggressive, in his own words he simply wanted to make it perfect! Back to the sound room, a couple of valve changes and immediately we followed the tour down to Singapore. As usual Slash tested the amp during sound check and with a smile on his face he said: 'It is really good, I think we got it' plus some other words and praises that would be impolite to write here!

The rest of the story can be told easily quoting his Twitter entries. After Singapore: 'We've been tweaking the AFD amp & I think we finally have it dialled in. Could be one of the best sounding Marshalls ever.'
After Jakarta: 'Btw, used the latest prototype of the AFD Marshall last couple of shows, its ready for production. It really kicks ass!'

What I heard coming from Slashs rig a few weeks ago was pure bliss.

Also Surf, I can confirm it's an LP Axcess, like I need any more GAS!!! I had successfully put that guitar out of my head for the year or so and now it's back
