A little Van Halen throught the AFD ...

[gtrman]

I just added the EVH Frankenstein to my guitar collection and when I play through the AFD I get a cool EV vibe right away.
So I had to record something ... there's not a lot of good sound quality demos of the AFD yet .. mostly just cam recordings.
So I recorded my little demo here on my music workstation and although the guitar track is unprocessed I added a little reverb as Eddie did a lot of that on the original.
Setting on the amp is:
Power 3 - Presence 5 - Bass 5 - Middle 5 - Treble 5 - Master 7 - Gain 7
Using my new 1960AHW Greenback cab obviously will help a lot getting that VH chuncky rhythm part.
And as far as playing I did take a few liberties .. hey I'm no Eddie

I love my new AFD .. it's tone heaven as far as I am concerned ...

I'm a bank-robber on my spare time ....

Actually I sold of a bunch of stuff. 3 Marshalls - 1 Strat - 1 cab - some pedals ... and I was half-way there :-)
This is a ridiculous expensive guitar .. and I could have it built for a lot less but I couldn't be happier after playing it for hours this weekend.
I was able to try it out before buying so I knew what I was getting myself into.

was that afd or #34?

Both ... the main is AFD and at one point I used the #34 .. when is pointed out in the video.

That sounds so good, so I guess the AFD100 is not a one trickpony as some suggest. Sounded pretty brown to me, great playing to man. Now isn't that the guitar that cost what six new Les Pauls cost, whew you can't be married. Nice video.

Gtrman, awesome tone & great playing by the way. I must have listened to it like 5x already because the tone is so good as well as the playing.

Still searcing for that vibrator .. can't seem to find it in the fligthcase. I must have been ripped off
Thanxs man .. appreciate the kind words. I agree I love the VH tone I'm able to get out of this amp (in addition to the obvious Slash tones).
Too bad you can't get one yourself right now .. you would totally love it !
If you were in my neighborhood i'd invite you over to jam on it

[okgb]

Sounds decent
you're playing has pretty good feel
I think you could have thrown out a little
solo or so

Hey gtrman that sounds great could you do a few clips of GnR And Slash songs using the AFD and the 1960 AHW (is that the one with the G12H-30 Heritage speakers) as im trying to decide what cab to by myself while im still waiting for my head to arrive.Cheers
