Title: afd or 2250 and what about sozo caps?
Post by: tpruitt on April 19, 2012, 04:10:05 PM
First off what amp of the two would go from slash to zakk wylde? And second is the sozo caps worth the extra $30? My style of music goes from slash/zakk/hammet if that helps

If slash if your first big influence, i would say the AFD or the 2550, as Slash did like the 2550 quite a bit. The AFD is more versatile, IMO, though, as channel one has the classic plexi sounds we all know and love so much and with the right settings and pedals can cover alot of ground. Then channel two is pure Slash! Also the AFD has more tweaking options with the peaker switch and the trimmers for the pre amp cathodes...and it runs on 6550's! kick ass! also it has a PPIMV already installed. Very nice!

As far as the Sozo caps, alot of Marshall guys swear buy em, and it's only $30 from Nik installed. it would cost you more to buy em and install em or have a tech switch em out later, so why not go for it?!

Slash isn't really what I'm aiming for.just a start.alot of people forget george lynch used the same amp before afd.i figure it'll get me close...I'm into a little more gain now.more zakk wylde stuff.so if the afd#35 is more saturated then i'll take that one lol.

The difference between a metalized polyester (Mallory 150) and a film/polyester (Sozo) at audio frequencies are just not going to be audible in top quality capacitors.  Both are great for Marshall circuits.
