I’ve heard it said before that sometimes the 2 and 3 knobbers sound the best, and this one’s no exception! This build, a Bajaman design, is PCB Guitar Mania’s take on Slash’s signature Marshall AFD amp. Replicates the Appetite for Destruction tone very well. All high gain on tap. Of course I had to bring a Lester down to the shop to test this one to get the full effect and what fun it was. Basic Level and Gain controls are all you need here, unless your build connects to PCB Guitar Mania’s EQ sections. Pretty straightforward build - 2 J201s, one BC547B and a TL064.

Not much gain variance - seems like it’s on or off with the B100K gain pot. One tip - you gotta jumper the Send & Return pads if not using an external EQ, which is what I elected to do with my build.

Tayda 125b, Tayda ripple knobs, top hat decal is Cricut vinyl. If you’re a GnR fan, put this one on your radar!
