Marshall 8100

[EOengineer]

I played with a guy that used the 8100 with a Boss Turbo Distortion and I remember it sounding confusingly good?

Not sure what I was expecting but it worked. He was playing punk and post hardcore stuff with a PRS and it worked in that context.

I recall these as the Crates of Marshalldom.

Traded for this amp years ago.

New they were under $500 from what I can find.

Really liking what it does.

Such a classic amp! I almost bought this as my very first amp, but I ended up purchasing the Peavey Supreme XL.

You‘re wrong. You should buy one.

I’m realizing the 8100 was simultaneously the first Marshall AND the first half stack I ever played through in a shitty strip mall music store in South Carolina.

I was pretty much only playing Hetfield riffs at that point and I remember my young teenage brain exploding the first time I hit those For Whom the Bell Tolls palm mutes through the 4x12.

I used to dream of getting an 8100.
