Solid State fun Ampeg VH 140 vs Marshall 8100 Metal (clip)

Quick reamping test. The VH 140 has tons of gain and might sound a bit fizzy , but it's a real beast! The 8100 can get really tight but lacks gain. Also, it is more versatile. I like both for different reasons!

OPEN UP THAT PIT!!!!

Both sound great though I think I prefer the Ampeg here, ever so slightly. Great playing!

 

[RaceU4her]

both sound sick!

Kickass! I prefer the Marshall just for the lack of fizz but the Ampeg isn't far behind.

Both sound great! Had an 8100 25 years ago as a practice amp….SD1 in front kills.

This is making me reconsider selling my 8100. Playing the 8100 is so different than playing a tube amp, it just responds so much differently, much harder to get the dynamics I am used to, but I like the fast response.

I like the 8100 more as it has much more Marshally mids and upper mids. Duh!

Like the 8100 more through my studio speakers, but honestly, in person could be a different ball game. Both are badass amps that I would love to play.
