Slash's amps
Marshall JMP 1959T Super Lead
There is endless of speculation about the exact Marshall that was used for the Appetite For Destruction recording sessions. Most probably, the amp in question was a modifed Marshall 100 watts 1959T Super Lead, owned by S.I.R., a rental company in Los Angeles, and it was known as "Stock #39". The amp had been modded by Tim Caswell, who basically used the amp's unused tremolo circuit, with its additional pre-amp valve, to produce more gain. Also added to the amp was a master volume control.
Marshall JCM 800 2203
One of the most famous Marshall amp and one of the most representative of Marshall sound. Slash mainly played on this head during the early Guns N' Roses years.
Marshall JCM 2555 Silver Jubilee
The Jubilee head was released in 1987 to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Marshall. It is heavily based on the JCM 800 of the time, featuring a very similar output section along with a new preamp. This amp is part of Slash's live gear since Guns N' Roses era.

The AFD100 was limited to 2,300 pieces worldwide (2,300 because when it cames out, it's been 23 years since the Appetite For Destruction album).
