    Ampeg has more body for sure. At first the Marshall didn’t sound too bad until the ampeg clip came in, then set the Marshall back to bland land 🤣 ampeg pwns!

    We need both in stereo. I think blended they'd really compliment each other and make one massive brutal tone

  • @lovecraftmusic8717

    Ampeg is early Suffocation and that tone slays the valvestate. More low-mids and chunkiness

      @Admiral_Bongo 3 года назад +1

      They also did use the Valvestate on Pierced From Within, though. Souls to Deny tone is what I love, though, so I vote Ampeg.

    The Marshall for me, it sounds like a chainsaw in the best possible way. A bit more mids would have been nice, I have a VS8100 as well and I know it can generate a brutal sound but with more body like the Ampeg. I even like it just as much as my modded 6100 30th Anniversary, it's an insane amp for the money! Cool vids by the way, I started following you because of the awesome VS8100 content. Keep it up!

      @@brokenlevelmusic happy to help! By the way, my favourite VS8100 guitar sound ever recorded, by a band from my hometown called Harrow. They were awesome back in the day. The production is huge for a ‘99 record and the Valvestate really stands out nicely, way different than on records by Death or Prong. 🤘🏼

    Run my 8100 with the 'Contour' control at zero.
    It's the least fizzy that way, and just get top-end from the 'Treble' control.
    NO boost out front...but an EQ in the fx loop does wonders.

    Love the Valvestate.
    Ampeg - wider bottom end, muffy lower-mids... saggier.
    Marshall - more shelved bottomed end, better mid & top end range.

  • @Lavabug
    @Lavabug 3 года назад +1

    Good comparison. I used to own the vh140c and the 8100. Eventually sold the ampeg cause it was worth a lot and the 8100 cut through a lot better with technical guitar riffs, the Ampeg got lost in a band mix. Still have the VHD pedal for that sound, sounds great by itself.

  • @ebozyn
    @ebozyn 3 года назад +1

    With a little Eq-ing ,(maybe a bit more mids on the marshall, just playing with the eq a bit) they could sound so close, a person would have a tough time telling the difference between the two.

    Nice vid! I have the same 150 head as well as two of the 140 heads and the vh70 combo. If you're ever looking to go the stereo amp route, I'm looking to trade one of my 140 stereo heads for a VH150. Same layout as yours with the knobs on the bottom

    Don't disregard the valvestate the EQ knobs do actually work and can get a more balanced and meaty tone by adjusting bass, mid, treble and contour.
