Peavey JSX Joe Satriani Signature Head
The Peavey JSX Joe Satriani Signature Head tears up the competition. Joe Satriani is undoubtedly one of the greatest guitar players of all time, and Peavey has built him an amp with the sound, feel, and flexibility he's always sought. With a punchy gain structure that boosts your playing with authority, this amp delivers sounds ranging from Classic 50 to vintage British, modern Triple XXX, and all the in-between tones.

The versatile and comprehensive control section supplies a master volume pot and independent volume knobs for each of the three channels (Ultra, Crunch, and Clean). Tone shaping is accomplished through passive controls for Bass, Mid, and Treble on the Clean channel, while the Ultra and Crunch channels use active Bottom, Body, and Hair (lo, mid, hi) controls. The Clean channel is pristine yet warm and is specifically voiced to work well with effects pedals. The Ultra and Crunch channels have gain controls and fat switches to further assist in taming this thunderous tube-powered beast while achieving killer sound.

Global resonance and presence knobs increase control of high-end tones, while a noise gate on the Crunch and Ultra channels cuts down on the excess noise generated by running the gain and EQ controls on high settings. Since the gate is fully adjustable, you can really clamp down, leave it slightly open, or just turn it off.

The JSX uses 3 - 12AX7 preamp tubes and 4 - EL34 power amp tubes. The power amp section delivers an earth-quaking 120W of pure tube power and can be converted to 4 - 6L6GC. It is also designed to work equally well into 4-, 8-, or 16-ohm loads.

Made in the USA.

This head is awesome, out performs my friends Mesa Triple Rec, and many Marshall heads I've owned.Now me and the rhythm guitar player in our band play Peavey heads. He used to use a 5151,2 which sounds good, but he loved the sound of my Triple xxx and now uses that. {It's as good as JSX just a different type of tone] I bought the JSX and a JSX 212 combo for practice. This head sounds beautiful through a stack of Triple xxx cabs.

The clean is really one of the best I've heard. A little delay and some chorus and it's heaven. The Ultra channel for leads is worth the cost itself! You can't go wrong with this amp!

Wow, thats all I can say. Beings this was a Peavey I thought it wouldn't be that great sounding of a head. But that proved me wrong. All tones are amazing and if you like the hard rock sounding crunch,this baby will pump it out for you. The clean channel is awesome to. It's not to bassy and not to clinging. Perfect pitch. The price is worth what you will be getting!!!!!!!

I always have been a Marshall guy for many years...I mostly play Super lead plexis for their warmth and tone...I swear on my own death..I tested a JSX(well..I love Joe Satrianis tone..and I knew he wouldn't skimp on that) I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY!! Normally Marshall tend to distort a bit on the clean channel at high volumes..the JSX was crystal clean and not too harsh..warm midrange(not tinny sounding) with tight low end that wasn't muddy. I tested this with a LP Custom...I fully endorse the Peavey JSX for ANYONE!!!
