Default Marshall Valvestate 8100 - 02-01-2009, 08:51 PM

Hey guys, I just picked up a Marshall Valvestate 8100 (purchased online) and I uncharacteristically bought on impulse.

Seems the amp produces some kick ass metal tones, how does it do with rock, vintage and cleans? I can only find metal tone samples online.

Here is a couple videos of the Marshall Valvestate 8100

Weird day. One hour after I pulled the trigger on the Marshall, I picked up a Crate GX-130C (similar to the Ampeg VH-140C), but much cheaper in price since it doesn't have the all the hype.

Here is a Alice in Chains (Man in the Box) cover found on youtube

The 8100 is a killer amp, throw an EQ in the loop.....

very underrated.... enjoy it.

Hey Juggs, have you played the Crate GX130C? Apparently they are "very similar" to the Ampeg VH-140C (you owned one before, right?).

I think you would love the Ampeg too, it'll sandblast the skin off your testicles I cannot find one sound clip of the ampeg that I don't like.

Cannible Corpse uses / used the Crate GX-130C. So it must be a tight beast too.
(I'm not a fan of CC though)
