The 3100 is all about versatility.

It's unique and different because it has been designed around the goal to accurately reproduce the specific tone of any model of guitar you're playing with by offering 5/6 different convincing sounds vintage to modern.

No more talk. Check out this video below in which Oliver Hartmann plays from cleans, jazzy to AC/DC vintage crunchs to modern leads and metal tones out of the amp different models of guitars, and you will immediately get what I mean.

Note how Oliver easily switches among all tones in just one click (MORE VIDEOS BELOW).

No other head will give to you the same immediate tone and versatility in just one amp.

The 3100 also features some other unique functions you will surely like:

- a user -friendly control interface with each channel sporting the same controls and only two switches on the front panel.
- a solo function which boosts the level and the gain at the same time so your solo has more volume but also more   sustain. It's called "Boost".
- the possibility to assign external MIDI effects to the supplied footswitch.
- a 'shaping' function, on the Lead channel, that allows you to switch from a rhythm part to a solo with the correct   equalization on both in one just operation (a suggestion from our metal friends ;)

This makes the 3100 the perfect tool to reproduce the sound you have heard on record or live and then personalize it to make it our own. On the other side the 3100 is very simple to understand and use with just two switches on the front panel. Or do you need 18 like we have seen recently?

ANDREA BRAIDO

	"Ciao Gale, here they are hope they are ok I put all myself into it! In my opinion The Valve represents the top in this amps category! 3 indipendent channelsindependent every tone in a simple and indipendent way, a pindependent warm distortion, a clean which is truly "clean" and finally a very useful crunch in whatever situations and all the shades in between. In a few words, try The Valve in different situation and be sure they wil come up to your willectations! Hugs, el Braidus elettricus"

THOMAS DILL

	"Hi Gale, here are some of my favorite Settings. I wrote it down in a list (14 = 14 o´clock). Audio files with this settings are attached to this mail. Hope you enjoy it..."

RALF JUNG

	"Hi Galeazzo, I mainly use the 3/100 for distorted lead tones or real heavy rhythms. By using the shaping button you can set the amp up to be really ballsy for rhythm work – the bass response is incredible clean big but never muddy. If you use the solo channel for lead work I reduce the presence quite a bit and work with the treble knob instead – liquid tones are the result!"

JAVI VALERO

	"Hi Galeazzo!!! unfortunately I can not pick up the amp back to the artist for which I work now, he is out of Spain and he has the keys of the rehearsal room!!! So, but I can tell you my settings!They are slightly different according to the guitar I am using: I use shape mode sometimes in solos. Presence 1 is always 4 and Presence 2 at 5. I tweak the depth control depending on the venue I am playing."

LUDOVICO VAGNONE

	"Gale! The 3100 head is a mervellous amp, tmarvellousrsatility, the MIDI, the position of controls, everything is designed to make it extremely playable and comfortable under your fingers. An incredible dynamic a special tone clarity. It always delivers what you desire. Your cabs are also very interesting. I have 2 2x12 and I really love them both the mono setup as in stereo, or wet dry wet. A true pleasure for your soul!"
