Finally, Chris George gives us a demo of AFD100

Pretty kick ass. Glad to hear the clean part and very suprised at how good the Strat sounded with it.

And as some of the lucky buyers in the UK get theirs already the demos are coming in.

me like

[surfnorthwest]

I like the sound a lot and again the power scaling seems to work really well. However I don't think it is as articulate as the 2466, I have to wait until I play it.

[joec63]

I would agree with that just based on what I've heard so far. And Chris says as well the main design parameters were focused on that than roaring distortion.

WOW! Thanks Chris! Its funny that no matter what he plays through he always sounds like him.

Anyway, I am so very psyched about this amp. Power scaling, two gain stages, and and an FX loop that can dub as a 10dB solo boost. Can't ask for much more than that.

I am however scared by all the crazy features in it. It does make life very easy, but I hope it wont malfunction over time or from being gigged with often. It's like when car companies start putting new features in their models. There are always 1000 recalls before things are working smoothly.

That is the best sound I have heard Chris George create. Finally something without fizz, what a great sound! That just triggered my interest even though the Slash and cartoon thing drags it down a bit. Thanks for sharing, Surf.

I like it, but I don't think it's going to be worth getting rid of my VM/JVM combo for. It's gonna suck yes, but just for what I'm doing and planning on doing I'm gonna need a super versitile rig, and from what I hear, it's not what I'm looking for. Dunno why that guy slammed the JVM so much either..

Don´t think the JVM has that much fizz. The fizz mostly comes from the amp beeing played too low not pushing the power amp. Actually the VM has more fizz on low volume than the JVM.

whats this fizz you speak of???? break your gear in! Like a god damned granny afraid to use the gas pedal then it carbons up the car!.

Honestly I've found every cab I've used to fizz until I pound the living hell out of it with the VM on 8-9 for a week then it loses that fizz and sounds great.

Here's the official demo:

Personally, I like my VM better.

Not official but I like this demo with band

[HF1600ie]

The AFD sounds really great and has nice features. The power scalling is the best in my point of view.

But somehow, I don´t think that it sounds any better than the VM. Just different and not that much. Havent tested one, so, I can be wrong.

[Slashwannabe1]

cool videos!

The #34 is quite the epic tone.

[kissfanps]

That sounds fantastic.

I think this will be a great compliment to the VM. Kind of makes me want to get a 2466 to use for clean/bluesy/vintage crunch and use the AFD for the heavier stuff.

I prefer the AFD mode to the 34 mode.

So what is up with using the FX volume as 2nd volume? Would that be just another master?

[Slashwannabe1]

The AFD100 does have that snarly crunchy bite to it so effortlessly no matter who plays it online thats for sure. Watched a few youtube vids and even amatures sound great.
