Peavey JSX

Re: Peavey JSX

Sounds like the Ultra channel on the JSX is more saturated than the ultra channel on my amp.. Anyone know if this is the case??
I really like to know about the ultra gain on the jsx compared with the ultra plus.. Sounds heavier in the store, but its hard to compare accurately..

I had an Ultra 120 and I currently have a Triple X. The Ultra series are a little grainier in texture and the highs are a little more rolled off and get a little more harsh when turned up. The Triple X and JSX are very similar, the gain was tamed a bit for the JSX. The mids were voiced just a little different on the Triple X. I think they were moved up just bit and the high end is smoother ala George Lynch input. "Heavier" is subjective, I run the Triple X pre gain on about 3.5 for heaviness, more than that turns to furry mush depending on the guitar.

Re: Peavey JSX

Thanks! Yeah, I know the Ultra Plus was the basis of the triple X. For some reason, the JSX sounded dirtier. Thats what I meant. I think now Im playing with more mids (Im a recovering scoop addict) so the JSX sounds thicker cuz the voice is more mid. That and the noise gate is nice too..
Its an impressive amp! Im torn.. I like the 6505+ too..

Plus the EVHIII.. But will never have the $$ for that one.
