peavey xxx

There is a guy in my area selling a peavey xxx head with a carvin legacy 412 cab for $435. How are these amps? Every youtube video ive watched have just been people doing some typical metal chug riffs with no solos so i have no idea what else this amp can do. At this price would it be possible to just sell it and make a profit?

I think XXX heads sell for about $600-$650 used, in good shape. $435 with a nice speaker cab would be a super deal, I would think.
Typical metal chug is kind of what those amps are known for. I've plugged into them on occasion. They have a certain raw midrange voicing that you either love or hate. It's there even at lower gain levels.

Thanks man, i was thinking i might just pick it up and try to sell it but every time ive tried to flip gear i always ended up keeping it instead.

The XXX, was a very cool amp. I'll agree with Kosh, they are more of a chugga type of amp, but they are very good at it, and I just so happen to like Chug.

Good deal. That cab should be loaded with Vintage 30's...
