#Bias amp 2 has a couple of celestion speakers code
I've never really been into modifing and upgrading, I bought a really cheap Code 25 and that was enough for at home. She's still a great amp, making a lot of noise (and humming). I didn't touch the Valvstate, just plugged straight in, like I did in the '90 and it played just like that, with all the dust an moist, like nothing ever happened. After that I got carried away and build my own 'partcaster' (Squier neck, body probably Fender and pickguard from a Strat Deluxe, with three Vintage Noiseless 3 single coils pick ups). I first replaced all the electronics in my Marlin Sidewinder, an unknown copy of a copy of a copy of a strat, where a long time ago a friend replaced the bridge pick up for a Di Marggio humbucker and gave it a new set of strings. I just recently picked up my electric guitar and this Valvestate VS100 again, which have been sleeping in the basement for about 20 years (I know, it's a shame). Stay tuned, another great sleeper amp is up next!

Another fantastic speaker upgrade would be the British Lead, which would add in a little more urgent midrange, plus even MORE solid bottom end. And yes, the Invader would be my #1 suggestion. The speaker is so easy to upgrade that yes, I'd probably suggest to folks that they do the swap.
Yes, the Invader is rated at 50-watts, but the Valvestate's 100 mosfet solid state watts are equal to about 50 old-fashioned tube driven watts RMS.

The VS also could deliver way better totally saturated tones at bedroom volume.The VS sported a UK made Celestion speaker.The VS was actually made in ENGLAND, the way a Marshall should be!!!.The VS had separate verb controls for clean and dirty channels, yes! Why don't all amps have this? Brilliant.The Valvestate was much more versatile, delivering better Fender type cleans, as well as better scooped metal tones.The Valvestate had way more authoritative and solid bottom-end.The Valvestate had a MUCH better looking circuit board, more robust, better lay-out, and easier to work on.Rather than get too wordy, I'll use bullet-points, and I will NOT get into techno-babble (your welcome). In a nutshell, the (much more expensive) DSL really disappointed me, while the VS was way cooler than expected.

A couple weeks back two Marshall amps arrived in my shop for repair, one was a DSL 40 full tube amp and the other was a early 90's VS100. Okay, before I jump into why I truly believe the early Marshall Valvestate VS100 is indeed a terribly overlooked "sleeper amp", I need to tell you how I discovered these amps.
