Members Dr. T Posted June 6, 2006 Members Share Posted June 6, 2006 The bassist in my band just got a Marshall Valvestate 2-12 amp today for dirt cheap - 300$ used. He plays a little guitar and wanted a decent amp and also so I won't have to lug my Traynor over to his house everytime we practice (the Traynor weighs a lot). I helped him pick out this amp, and I was very hesitant about it after hearing things about it on HC but I plugged in, and {censored}, it's a pretty good sounding amp! And really versatile too. It has a warm, punchy sound to it. So why does everyone hate these amps so much? They're really not half bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW,I certainly wouldn't call $300 for a Valvestate "dirt cheap"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. T Posted June 6, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 6, 2006 well, considering that's half of what it went new, I'd say it was at the very least a really good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
