One setting around 5:30 or so reminds me of that old Celtic Frost tone.Nice sound on the valvestate.An old band mate of mine had that w/ the tube preamp and a jcm900 run together as his rig.The 900 always sounded like broken glass (as 900's do for some reason like a failed experiment) compared to the VS which surprised me having no tubes in the power section. Nice demo.
Holy crap! It Does have a tube! I have an old VS65R that crackles after about 5 minutes at low volume. I figured it's all solid-state, gotta take it to the shop. Never got around to it. Then, after malmsteen80's comment, I downloaded the manual, and, man was I surprised! Can't access the tube easily, and no standby switch. Learn something new every day...
I'm aware of the "valve/tube" translation, mate! Haha But, I bought it used at a small shop, it said "Valvestate", but, I figured it was one of those "solid-state with valve technology" acts like a lot of companies are doing now! Regardless, it's still not working, so it doesn't quite matter what it's called! New tube, by the way...my Fender's way more reliable.
ohhh sorry misunderstood... the VS imo is one of the best sounding amps in thier price range, friend of mine has a 50 watt and it sounds worlds better than my marshall mg... i love fender amps for clean and slightly distorted tones.. bet a twin reverb would sound amazing with this pedal
i don't know why people marked your question down. it will warm up your sound, and if you keep your amp fairly clean and use the pedal for the noise, it should be fine.

Will the SFX-03 work ok if plugged into a solid state digital amp - such as Roland Cube 20x or will it sound rubbish?

no that marshal is all solid state. There was another model of Valvestate amps that did have a tube pre-amp but this one was all modeled solid state.

The MG is Solid State
That's a VS

At least all older valvestates do have tube pre-amp. That's what the valvestate-term means. Half valve

Dude it's a VS230. Only valvestate amps with 65w+ had tube pre-amps. I have had the thing for 10 years I think I know whats in it.

It's a mid 90's studio mahogany flat-top with P-90's :) I love them too.

Exactly - it's a kind of hybrid. I used to have a VS65-R. It was pretty good.
