Le Taz

Everything is said below. I said that I tested and compared for 3 hours, pushing the volume and varying the guitars. Tested with a Les Paul traditionalist and a Musicman Axis Sport.
A noise gate or even a ch'tite reverb would have been welcome. 50w mode as well, but I will explain why.
UTILIZATION
Configuration very simple, even too. As the name suggests, it has only one destination and can not do anything else. But in his defense, he does really well!
However, having not even a second gain setting (like the JVM, for example), failing to have a really clear channel, it would was still comfortable.
SOUNDS
To be clear, if you buy a head bearing the name Slash, is that a priori we do not intend to play the BB King, Metallica's or with Yvette Horner. The drives are still typed rock, so we can go from blues Gary Moore sauce to the big fat Hard, Heavy, etc.. For some types of metal, it does not happen (like most Marshall).
The sound has charm, admittedly, but there is little opportunity to intervene in the very grain of the amp, unless you change some lights (in V1 and V2, as explained in the previous opinion ). And it seems necessary. The # 34 is much too sharp and aggressive in the register, even if he has a good base. AFD mode is more chubby, well-balanced. However, it lacks some definition for some quick shots (especially in legato), but easily correctable, as in the previous mode. Nevertheless, it gives body to single notes, and goes in very feddbacks music easily (to see also if it is not annoying live in certain contexts).
Overall, I found the grain and sound very nice, although not a fan of Slash (yes, it exists, dsl). I reproached her for missing body below a certain volume, and not too sharp, high volume of imprecision.
OVERALL OPINION
This amp has an undeniable charm, very easy to play, and I really hesitated before taking the final YJM100. It has a 50w mode, to play the least power reductor, and whatever the config, it was always a lot of body and definition, even with settings "fuzzy". This is especially (really) the sound "plexi" you can go from metal instruments Scandinavian signatory, but all the sounds of the greatest rock records (made in japan, Highway To Hell, the live Hendrix ... ) eventually attérir under your fingers after a few adjustments: one has the impression of listening to a disc, having first sound. In short, it was a slap, AFD 800 nor my favorite, could not fight. AFD is a good amp, but YJM100, despite its "signatory" risk of a huge cardboard critical. I can not explain what in the sound, we really did not feel like boxer in the same category. Let me be clear: this is not the AFD which is below is the YJM is above a large package of other amplis.Il is more "roots" to play (no adjustment fig leaf for the imperfections of the game). But I would notice on that page.
So I do not say "Fontaine, I would not drink your water" because the AFD is really endearing. I still hesitated before choosing (as it was unfortunately choose) between the plug'n'play without the fuss and YJM superior but more complicated to manage.
Meanwhile, a Les Paul, AFD is still the base for those who love the sound of the scratch high-hat.
