If you look into the Peaveys, remember:

3120 = XXX (original, was to be George Lynch's first signature amp with Peavey, the Penta was to be the second, but Lynch split again!)

XXX II = JSX

Butcher = JSX 50 .

WOW . . . i never knew that !

I thought it is a brand new amp, all on it's own !

The only thing they did as far as I know other than cosmetics, were to make it 100w with a half power switch, and ship it with EL34, the JSX 50 was to ship with 6550s. You can still pull up Musicians Friend's page for it with specs by searching JSX 50..
All are killer amps though for sure!

The Penta was to be called the Brahma, they've since re-released it as a Gary Rossington signature. Original Pentas could be picked up for a song too sometimes, if you can find one, another great amp with awesome James Brown goodness, in this price range used as well, would be the Kustom Double Cross.
