Lovely amp , thanks for the info.
As a non gigging guitarist why you get such huge amps? (just a query)
My second rather rude question is what do these go for?
When I said non gigging guitarist, I should have said not gigging or playing in a band at the moment.
I've had the JCM 2000 TSL 60w combo for a while and used to gig with it.
Whilst the AFD100 is a 100 watt amp, that I'll never get close to ever using at full power, even if I do decide to go out and join a band and gig again, the power scaling feature of this amp that allows me to select my required power anything between 0.1 watts and 100 watts means that its actually more practical and versatile than most smaller low wattage valve amps. You can play this amp at appropriate volume levels anywhere while still driving the power tubes hard, from the bedroom to the stadium and anything in between as it has an appropriate power setting for them all.
Price wise, they're around R18k full retail for the head, but I paid substantially less than that.
Lovely amp , thanks for the reply..I have read about the SLash project to recreate the AFD amp but never actually seen one around to try.
As far as I know, these amps will be limited to 2300 units, with production being spread out over a couple of months. I got mine at Coastal Music in Durban, who are part of T.O.M.S so I'm sure T.O.M.S in Jhb will have stock if they aren't already sold. Coastal ended up with 2 units down here.
One of the things that made me giggle a bit is that the guys in the US who preordered the amp are only now starting to get theirs, while down here in the "3rd world" I've had mine a month already.
