Title: AFD Tone Post by: ampkits on July 08, 2010, 09:49:51 PM Guys, Lots of talk abt AFD these days. How abt this? Just normal Plexi50 with 1 wire mod. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DcHBMnUvcw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DcHBMnUvcw) Dude's asking if he got the tone. I say he's quite there! :) Maybe I'll release it. AFD 501 - Amplifier For Daddy OK, those not familiar, AFD = Appetite for Destruction, ie GnR/Slash. Thanks!

This may sound like a stupid question for such a "simple" mod, but I have seen/read a few different explanations of how to do the One Wire Mod. Thank You Title: Re: AFD Tone Post by: ampkits on July 09, 2010, 07:12:42 AM Hi man,
There's indeed a few ways people seems to do it. But, the simplest would, as the name suggest, is just 1 wire. And this is basically separating the 470K resistors, and tying one of em to the 68K resistors. It's best to do it with a switch I think, to get back the stock plexi circuit. And perhaps, to have a bright switch. My plexi doesnt have bright cap even on the bright pot. With the switch, that can be selected. The hard part is, it can go a bit unstable when set very high. A lot of playing with the lead dress. But you dont have to set it at 10 all the time. Balance the 2 vol pots to get the sound you want I guess. I will make a layout soon. I'd footswitch the thing :) (normal switch can also be used of course) Thanks! Nik Title: Re: AFD Tone Post by: omron_g on July 21, 2010, 07:18:56 AM thank for detail :)

Title: Re: AFD Tone Post by: plexigibson on April 08, 2011, 09:14:53 PM Could someone make a layout diagram for the mod with a switch? I'm very interested, I love Slash's tone and doesn't the one wire mod make the 50w Plexi a 2204? I think this mod, a switch for a fourth gain stage, and a switch for the bright cap on/off would make this amp almost perfect. Maybe also a half power switch.
