Marshall 8200 Bi-Chorus Head - Oh poop!!! Its NAD:
- Thread starter Inspector #20
- Start date
Oooooh! I debated that at $375!….but now there’s a $40 price drop! The shipping is not too bad either….you gonna jump?
OP
Ya, I PM'd the guy...
I like it for the independent stereo capabilities….I could run it in a 10X12 configuration with cabs on hand….your posts peaked my interests….but it’s not something that I feel a massive need for….unless it’s stupid cheap…which….well….it’s getting to be.

Congratulations!

Like all British-Made Valvestates, It's not all solid state, since the Boost channel preamp uses a 12AX7 tube.
With two 100 watt channels the 8200 can create some very rich, wide sounds using its stereo chorus and stereo reverb.
The Bi-Chorus feature gives separate rate and depth controls for each channel plus two manually selectable chorus modes. The chorus effect is run through dual.outlut stages, each slightly out of phase with the other stage, for a rich, broad effect.
Other features include a foot switch input (for channel and chorus switching); stereo line out jacks which facilitate direct injection to P.A. or recording equipment; two sets (L & R) of twin speaker outputs for extension cabinet connection options; and two effect loops - a mono series loop and a stereo/mono parallel loop (mono send, L & R returns).

Congratulations!
I might regret it...LOL
But, I took a chance. Not as bad as playing Russian Roulette though...the shop has great reviews.

Not sure if it comes with the P803 footswitch, but they are easy to find. 5 pin, like a Dumbledore.
Looks like a simple two switch TRS job to me….

What a Christmas...
My entire musical life, I've either played hand me downs, or I've used gear that was a compromise from what I truly wanted. Yes, I've had GREAT guitars and nice amps, but never exactly what I wanted. I have played the Mk1 and Mk2 Valvestates for years, but never could find an 8200 Bi-Chorus head. I purchased a VS265 2x12 Stereo/Chorus Combo new, but it didn't have the depth and width of the Bi-Chorus.
Today is the first time in my professional life that I actually have the exact gear I have always wanted, without compromise....A Gibson Les Paul Goldtop and a Marshall 8200 Bi-Chorus Head.
