Marshall Did Something RIGHT With the 8100 Valvestate

[midnightlaundry]

None more reliable than a SS amp from back in the day..
My first amp was a PV Bandit little 8" Speaker when I was like 11..
Latter in my 20's I answered an ad for a band and it was this chick that had no business being in a band..
I ended upper sexing her over a couple weeks but we didn't do anything musically.
I felt shitty about the whole thing, and left my amp with her and never seen it again.
I want that amp back! LOL

Only Marshalls I can deal with for the brutal stuff

People say the most effective single-sentence horror story is "For sale: Baby shoes - never worn."

But I think a pretty good contender is "Nah I don't need that used 8100 Valvestate half stack just sitting over there in the shop right now for $200."

My first ever Marshall !!! Bought it the year they came out .

Me too! Then picked up a nice Randall 4x12 at a pawn shop for $250. It totally rocked!

Needed to set this up for a project.

It really is pretty damn good!

Beat to hell but it works.

A little tire kicking on the 8100 straight in:

And a raw mix test.

doesn't sound so bad here either ....... now I want another one

 

[MrHugoF]

I f it was good enough for mr Schuldiner, It will be good enough for you !

To be fair mine was the 8200, though I always assumed they were essentially the same thing

They sounded identical except for the whole addition of Chorus on the 8200. i owned both at the same time from 1999-2003 & played them all the time. The 8200 i got for a steal & bought it cause Messhugaah used one for a while.

One of my favorites.

If i remember correctly from back then.....he didn't use the 8100 until Human. Spiritual was an 800. I saw them a SHIT ton back then for that album & he was using an 800 with either a DS-1 Or SD-1 Depending on the show.

Looks like the 8100 was made after the album even.

Individual Thought Patterns was the beginning of his and Morrisounds Valvestate usage

A boosted comparison of a randall vs valvestate seems in order.

 

[CrystalSky]

People used to bag on valvestates but I thought they were a good sounding amp for the money so up yours TGP.

Chuck’s weapon of choice too

Against Pantera's own, head to head.

I want a RG100.

I do have a VH140C.

How do you feel about the VH140C? Another solid state one i've always wanted to try was the Crate XLP Preamp, which is supposed to be the Gx130C in a preamp form. I'd like to pair it with a Tube power amp to see what it sounds like.
