as title, anyone looking to get rid of a Marshall Valvestate 8100?

surely not! i thought no one liked these?

Mmmm, my first thought was why?

Um, lol, are you guys serious?

For what it's worth, i am a massive extreme metal whore, (along with loving other higher fidelity music styles)

Im refering to the older 80/90s model...not the newer ones.

But, listen to this:

If you're a fan of Sepultura, Death, Nu Metal etc...these are the shit. They have a brighter/fizzier, less refined tone, but when you want to sand peoples faces off, thats just the ticket.

ah i get it - thats some good tone for hard rock

i'm a mega sissy and love the fender tones through a jtm45 style amp

Have an 8200 that I have owned since new. PM me about it.

alright...how abotu an Ampeg VH140c?

anyone!?!?!

I have an Ampeg VT-120... but that's more a fender/musicman vibe than a metal thing, although the lead channel is pretty hot. Freaking loud though.

EDIT... oh i see, you're looking for solid state amps... carry on.

damn!

must...have...8100...

Jamil there is a mystery
Valvestate combo in my shed
Is that of any interest to you ?
Just say yes or no before I spend 1/2 hour looking
For it
As I recall it was about the size of 2x 12 box
But it may be 2x 10
Lots of knobs .. Lots of knobs
Totally forgettable as far as I am concerned
Might be the combo version ?
Dunno
Will I look ?
Or are you just wanting a head ?

if its a combo, im pretty sure its of no interest, and probably the newer stuff which sounds poo-ey? unless you can tell me slash pissed in it or something, then i might be interested

im really after just the head, 8100....

ok, apparently a Marshall Valvestate 8080 has the same guts as the 8100....

Ok found it
mystery combo is

Marshall 8240 2 x 12

Lots of knobs
Lots and lots

No idea or warranty expressed

will look it up now rick, thanks for looking

I used to have one of those Marshall 8240's. It had actually been "souped up" by the previous owner. No idea how. It sounded pretty good for what it was, but a bit sterile for my tastes, i.e. not good for Telecasters. I think it's still around somewhere in the the same building as my studio.

yeah, its not my cup of tea for "clean"...i dont think im touching the clean channel at all (unless im putting a horridly grindy pedal) , its for death metal on the OD channel

I've got one. Not that I really wanted to admit it in public, heh. Is that what you called me about when I was off chops on pethidine in hospital? Sort of remember dreamilly looking at my phone and noticing a message and pressing dial. I think you were as confused as I was, heh. Was like 3 hours after hernia surgery. Felt like I was in a Pink Floyd song.

Anyway, amp is pretty buggered but still works sort of, most knobs are stuck in position and has some weird gain issue. Call when you want I'm good now.

thanks for the replies guys, Rick and Heath. Prob gonna go with heaths
