I almost walked out with a JSX head the day I got my VHT Pittbull 100CL... 15 years ago maybe? I have zero regrets about choosing the Pittbull, still play through it almost daily, but I like Peavey's heads a lot and at 600 bucks I feel like I ought to try to find one of these for a backup. Considering a 5150 II goes for more than twice that, it's a steal. Would be interested to play through it again after this amount of time. The guitarist in the band I play bass for uses a XXX and it sounds great - pots seem perenially messed up and there's always some setting between channels that needs to be tweaked, but I can't complain about the tone. They aren't the be all/end all line of heads, but fantastic at bang for the buck.

Another cool thing about the JSX is that you can get it to sound very much like an XXX or a 6505/5150... But not vice versa.
