It was Punchier than the marshall BX Cabs i've tried. We played an Engl Blackmore, The Engl Savage 120 & a Roccaforte HG 100 Through it.......i wanted to own them all. The Roccaforte through that cab was amazing & with a bastard boost covered Fear Factory Tones with ease.
I played through one years ago at Derek B's house & it was one of the warmest punchiest cabs. i loved it! sadly i never got back over to his house to hear more amps through it.
Choke Mod? is that the one where i almost choked myself for selling a Mint Block letter back in 2008 for 800.00 & now i wish i would of kept it. The Amp literally looked like it just came out of the box. FUCK I'm dumb. :doh:
How do you feel about the VH140C? Another solid state one i've always wanted to try was the Crate XLP Preamp, which is supposed to be the Gx130C in a preamp form. I'd like to pair it with a Tube power amp to see what it sounds like.
If i remember correctly from back then.....he didn't use the 8100 until Human. Spiritual was an 800. I saw them a SHIT ton back then for that album & he was using an 800 with either a DS-1 Or SD-1 Depending on the show.
They sounded identical except for the whole addition of Chorus on the 8200. i owned both at the same time from 1999-2003 & played them all the time. The 8200 i got for a steal & bought it cause Messhugaah used one for a while.
