Members kobe Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 Saw Prong a few nights back. Stood at the front of the stage and listened to Tommy Victor's glorious guitar sound from his two Marshall Valvestate 8100 for an hour and a half. It's amazing what a basically solid state amp and a great guitar player can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gitfiddler Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 i saw 'em with pantera and sepultura in the early 90's. HUGE sound from the valvestate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Toy138 Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 I saw him a couple of years back with Danzig. I liked his tone and his solos(or christ's) were great. I heard that he played for Madonna at one point, is there any truth to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kobe Posted January 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 12, 2008 does anyone know if tommy still tunes to C...just curious? from the gig i saw on thursday he played most of the set in 'drop' tuning...probably around 'B' but I cant be certain. He also had a second guitar in standard,that was probably 'C'. Again it's hard to be 100% on that due to it being a live show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members knucklechutz Posted January 12, 2008 Members Share Posted January 12, 2008 Prong RULES!!! saw along time ago w/white zombie!!! wish they'd come back to the mid-west again, their live playing amazes me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stephen Colbert Posted January 12, 2008 Members Share Posted January 12, 2008 Static X uses the same, no?? Or is it the MG? I read Static X used the MG in the studio. Prong kicks ass, I saw 'em play live in a small club about 10 years ago. IMO--- solid state amps sound dry and harsh, but both Static X and Prong have done a great job making harsh sound real cool.

Members Stephen Colbert Posted January 12, 2008 Members Share Posted January 12, 2008 I saw a band do some Prong covers last year. The guitarist was playing thru a Framus Cobra. It sounded {censored}ing killer!!!!!!!! Those damn Framus Cobras are NO joke! Gotta love those tube amps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jessz1 Posted January 12, 2008 Members Share Posted January 12, 2008 There is an 8100 at the local GC I was thinking of snagging. I think they are asking 200.00 bucks. Chuck and Tommy made them sound good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kobe Posted January 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 12, 2008 even though i'm mostly a tube snob! (see my sig) kinda makes me wonder what's the point of spending thousands on expensive amps when with a bit of skill such sounds can be achived with something like a valvestate.

Members simbasa Posted January 12, 2008 Members Share Posted January 12, 2008 There is an 8100 at the local GC I was thinking of snagging. I think they are asking 200.00 bucks. Chuck and Tommy made them sound good. You can make it sound good too. I have been playing 28 years and have owned many top of the line tube amps......And I love my MG 15 Ministack. It sounds great at bedroom volumes. Just as good as those 3000 dollar tube amps at those volumes. I actually like it better for practice- no tube sag- nice and tight and very agressive tones and the cleans sound good. Who cares what anyone says... If you like it, get it.
