Manufacturer's ID: AFD100-H
For decades, people have sought "that tone", the enormous wall-breaking sound that erupted out of Guns N Roses' 1987 debut album, Appetite for Destruction. Now Slash and Marshall Amplification have joined forces to re-create that revered "Appetite Tone" with the Marshall AFD100 amplifier.
Marshall AFD-100, a piece of history reborn. The intriguing history of the Marshall amp used by Slash on and its subsequent disappearance has now passed into rock folklore. Widely believed to be a hot-rodded, 100 Watt, pre-master volume model from the early 70s, this legendary amp was hired specifically for the "Appetite" sessions in 1986. Eager to hold on to the amplifier, Slash told rental company S.I.R. that it had been stolen, only to have it "stolen" back a year later during tour rehearsals. Ever since there has been little to no word on the whereabouts of that mysterious 100 Watt head, synonymous with a true rock icon and one of greatest rock albums of all time. The AFD 100 will give you the appetite.
