FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
MARSHALL AMPLIFICATION ANNOUNCES ONGOING PROJECT WITH
GUITARIST SLASH TO LAUNCH AFD100 AMPLIFIER LATER THIS YEAR
MELVILLE,
NY, February 3, 2010 — On January 16, 2010, at the Winter
NAMM Show, Marshall Amplification
announced that it has begun working on a project with the legendary
guitarist Slash to produce a new amplifier that recreates the sound
of the revered Marshall amplifier he used on the 1987 album Appetite
for Destruction by Guns N’ Roses. The new amplifier will be known
as the AFD100. Fans of both Marshall and Slash will be able to follow
the progress of the amp’s creation by visiting www.afd100.com,
where they will receive regular updates throughout its development stages
and can also leave comments. The final model is planned to be released
later this year. Marshall Amplification has had a long association with
Slash — the JCM 2555SL Slash Signature Series amplifier was released
in 1996.
