Valvestates Suck! I have proof.

Greetings. Once upon a time a billion years ago, some of you knew me. Apologies.

I'll apologize to those that don't already know me later.

At any rate, observe:

Take one shitty cheapo Schecter C-4 something er other who the heck cares? Set it up for Drop C.
Plug in a Keeley SD-1
Then a Marshall original 8000 series Valvestate, in this case 8200.
Mesa Standard (OS) 4x12
A Roswell Cab Mic Pair

Then play some classic Anthrax riffage. Result?

I rest my case.
 
I have a 8008 valvestate 19"
Absolutely killer amp.
I prefer the ENGL 920 (duh) but the valvestate surprises me every time. It has balls when dialed in correctly (not above or just slightly above 12:00).
 
I had a VS100 1x12 I sold when I bought my JCM2000. I wish I had never sold it. It was the perfect grab-and-go amp. I miss it every time my back goes out moving the 900 cab.
