Woohoo! I am really digging the new Brit 800 Mod. Any more info on the amp it's based on- Santiago #34? Is this the Slash mod? (I think it it was the Levi mod?) Is it based on a 2203? Whatever it is, me likey....
Well, there's a lot of controversy with Slash amps!
Here's some info:

If I understand correctly the real Marshall AFD100 SCE (Special Collectors Edition) has 2 modes:
-AFD mode (Led ON) is a recreation of the SIR #36 used in the AFD recordings: a Marshall believed to be a 1970s Model 1959 Super Lead Plexi Tremolo modded by Frank levi, this mod includes an extra gain preamp stage and master volume. #36 was supposedly the amp that Slash didn't want to return to SIR because it sounded so good.
-#34 mode (led OFF) wich is a recreation of a Frank Levi modded early 80's JCM800 2203 used for the UYI recordings and still owned by Slash
But this words are not set in stone: some people claims that AFD was recorded with SIR #39 instead of #36. Well, #39 is a 1970s Marshall Super Lead (Model 1959T).
Before Q7 we had in our Axe:
-Brit AFS 100 1: Marshall AFD100 SCE in #34 mode (JCM800)
-Brit AFS 100 2: Marshall AFD100 SCE in AFD mode (SLP)
-Brit Super: Marshall JMP 1959T Super Lead modded by Tim Caswell (SIR #39)
Right now...I'm confused!
Doesn't matter: Play your guitar and wet your pants!
