Marshall Valvestate VS265 vs Valvestate 8100 - Metal - In the mix comparison

[@AMT90]

Damn I have an 8100, a vs265 is up for sale locally and damn I think I need it

[@ballsofdoom3124]

Grab it while you can these are getting hard to find

[@AMT90]

@@ballsofdoom3124 waited till he dropped the price for it for $200!

[@phreak1118]

I have had a VS265 since the 90s. Just recently got an AVT150. Both are good pedal platforms.

[@Theshark15z]

I have the vs100 and the vs2000. This would be a great addition to the collection.

[@skxj]

I've got a VS265 and it sounds great for metal and death metal.

[@brokenlevelmusic]

Yes sir, things rad🤘

[@YosDeadman]

Good job bro, a real good comparison between two monsters of gain. Thanks to you.

[@randynelson9961]

I don't have my 8100 anymore. But you can get JCM 800 like tone with contour set at 9:00

[@johnmaddox1712]

great vid as always man! seriously makes my day seeing you upload a new vid

[@brokenlevelmusic]

Thanks John🤘

[@MetalZoned]

Awesome riffing man, and both of em sound great. I can totally relate to that "there's different stuff goin on here" thats me trying to describe any guitar amplifier haha!

[@brokenlevelmusic]

👊😂 thanks Allan🤘

[@classicrocker889]

I Love the V265 , it sounds Amazing.

[@bradrock7731]

Prices seem to be going up every day on the valvestate amps.

[@low_e_music]

Cool shootout! Kind of an upper vs. lower mids things between the combo and head. Would probably be a cool blended tone. Killer riffs too!

[@brokenlevelmusic]

🙏👊

[@ilikepotatoes1345]

The combo surprisingly (at least to me) sounded meatier here than the 8100, I like the combo better. Very interesting shootout, excited for when you compare the 8100 with the VS100!

[@brokenlevelmusic]

I agree🤘

[@siv.blok1984]

The combo sounds tighter

[@joshww2339]

Tone is ridiculous ! That riff is fucking sick man!

[@brokenlevelmusic]

My man👊👊👊🤘🤘🤘

[@recklesstoboggan]

I miss my vs265.

[@johnmaddox1712]

wait maybe I missed something, but when the drums kick in that’s the 8100 right with the much more top end?

[@brokenlevelmusic]

No, opposite🤘😝

[@johnmaddox1712]

@@brokenlevelmusic really?!???? are you serious.... wow what the heck my minds blown then. my 8100 has a ton of top end so I would’ve swore it was the other way around. i’m in shock. the 8100 here sounds super muddy in comparison

[@johnmaddox1712]

@@brokenlevelmusic super muddy in comparison*. I wonder if it has anything to do with how you are running it through the power section of the combo

[@brokenlevelmusic]

@@johnmaddox1712 it totally does, its losing something using the other power amp, I’m guessing.

[@johnmaddox1712]

@@brokenlevelmusic very interesting. great riffing as always!!!!!

[@lootbaglarry8.2]

Killler riffing !!👊💀

[@brokenlevelmusic]

Thanks dude🤘😵

[@BrandonKJohnson]

Love it! Love the riffs and the tone! Check out my valvestate tone! Even got a MG tone sample too 😄

[@kadestorm]

The 8100 has a more mid open sound than the 265, but something about the 265’s scooped tone sounds more aggressive in this mix.

[@brokenlevelmusic]

Ya for sure Kade🤘

[@donsmith5385]

I thought the 8100 sounded better, but the combo wasn’t bad just different

[@DreadNovella]

Well then something is wrong with that 8100. Probably needs a new tube. Because my 8100 sounds way heavier than that. I have a VS also and the tube went out so it made it sound real middy

[@brokenlevelmusic]

I’m thinking somethings wonky in the effects loop, Cuz on it’s own sounds gnarly🤷‍♂️

[@DreadNovella]

@@brokenlevelmusic who knows maybe. I just remember when my VS sound took a dump. I took it in and it was just a tube. I do think the 8100 sounds better than VS 100, but both sound great when you put an EQ through the fx loop. It seems like the 8100 has a better mid tone where the VS loses that mid tone at high volumes. John Browne from Monuments does a review on the 8100 and it sounds heavy as hell. Go check it out.

[@brozio77]

@@brokenlevelmusic i had a vs 100, the effect loop had something strange and was ultra dark sounding

[@ErrorlVlacro]

Something doesn’t seem right with the 8100…
