The profiles are of a 1978 Marshall Super Lead, modified by Tim Caswell. While working at SIR in Los Angeles during the 1980's, Tim modified the amp used by Slash (SIR #39) to record the Appetite for Destruction album. The amp was also a favorite of Dokken's George Lynch. That amp has been lost to time, but Tim performed the exact same modification to this amp as the original. If you want the AFD tone, you can't get any closer than this.
The mod includes an extra preamp tube for additional gain and other mods which give this amp a much more aggressive tone than a stock Super Lead. The mod can also be bypassed (unlike the original AFD amp), giving stock Super Lead tone. However, all of our profiles were done in the AFD mode.This is just a fantastic amp. We think it might be the best modded Marshall tone we've ever heard.
