Description

Marshall Valvestate 8100. Famously known as one of the main amps used by Chuck Schuldiner of "Death". ・Clean channel w/ Crunch switch. ・Boost channel w/ Overdrive switch for more gain. [LEGEND] ・NOR - Normal channel ・BST - Boost channel ・CLN - Clean ・CR - Crunch ・OD - Overdrive ・CTR - Contour [NOTES] ・All the models are captured with 8x oversampling and 64 iterations for the highest quality possible. ・All controls are flat so you can hear the amp as it is with neutral settings. I may add additional captures with "ideal" settings, but that's not a priority for now..  。Only exception to this are the Overdrive channels. Each of them have three captures with the Contour control at 0, 5 (noon), and max. They are provided to cover the range of tone shaping that the circuit does. ・Should you wish to push more gain into the captures, use a separate gain utility/plugin and a clipper/waveshaper/limiter with a ceiling of -0.1dB or less before your NAM loader to prevent nuking the models if the input signal gets too hot. === First ever NAM captures with Architecture 2. About time I hopped on the bandwagon. A2 has been a significant improvement from its predecessor. I enjoyed the results so much that I decided to make NAM captures of some of my own LiveSPICE schematic files, primarily for convenience and CPU usage - especially with my music "workstation" being an early 2011 13" MacBook Pro as a Linux machine. More to come... === LiveSPICE: https://livespice.org/ Original LiveSPICE .schx schematic file: https://github.com/MARKTHERENCE/LiveSPICE-MK-Circuits === There has been some interest for me to have an option for people who'd like to donate for my work, so here's my PayPal link *only* if you feel generous: https://paypal.me/83ennui Making these captures take a lot of time, from researching the schematic diagrams (whether original or reproduced with certain degrees of verification), to cross-referencing from various gear presentations and demos, and several passes of training the captures to determine the adjustments needed with the LiveSPICE models/components for the most accurate/ideal simulation possible.

8/30/2026 UPDATE: Added captures of the OD channels with the Contour control set to 0 and max for tonal variety.

Thanks @83ennui for documenting this valvestate model 8100 as amp profile. The only concern that still makes me wondered that this amp profile somehow lil bit low volume, i'm not sure if it's from myself or others coz when I try to use this profile, somehow need to add more volume to boost this preamp to what it should be coz setting alone on multi fx pedal (valeton) for the eq on profile seems reach it's limit volume output as the preamp volume knob already push to the maximum value. Is it due to clipping circuit that caused this preamp volume turns out low. Or do I need to use external EQ or boost pedal in order to boost the preamp volume to enable the sound presented as it should be?
