JSX Super colossal??

[BloodRose]

Any one played one? How are these?? Im looking for an interesting small tube amp.. I have a PV classic 30 that I love, but want something alittle more aggressive. Im considering a Krank Rev JR, but would like to know more about the Mini colossal.. Well??

I've heard it is pretty good, but it sounds like some people are saying the gain gets sloppy when high.

I remember reading that it was more along the lines of a fender champ than a smaller version of the JSX. Which makes it interesting to me...

There is a clip on the Peavey site. I thought it sounded good just not my style.

I think it is pretty cool, but you are paying for the joe satriani, although the peavey valve king royal 8 is a similiar amp w/o the trem and it only costs about $200.

I know that you probably know but the amp is called the Mini Colossal. You might get more responses if you change the title.

You are also paying for chinese vs american made (jsx) which could be a quality thing there too.

I could do without the trem but it seems like a cool amp. There needs to be more mini high gain amps.

Doesn't the Mini Colossal have a built-in attenuator? Does the Royal 8 have that?

If so, does it live up to billing?

Re: JSX Super colossal??

Yes it does have an attenuator, a ted weber speaker i believe, and an effects loop. I'd say it is worth $400 to $200 on the royal 8, not sure about $500 to $200 though.
