Peavey JSX Joe Satriani Signature Head
The Peavey JSX Joe Satriani Signature Head tears
up the competition. Joe Satriani is undoubtedly one of the greatest
guitar players of all time, and Peavey has built him an amp with the
sound, feel, and flexibility he's always sought. With a punchy gain
structure that boosts your playing with authority, this amp delivers
sounds ranging from Classic 50 to vintage British, modern Triple XXX,
and all the in-between tones.The versatile and comprehensive control
section supplies a master volume pot and independent volume knobs for
each of the three channels (Ultra, Crunch, and Clean). Tone shaping is
accomplished through passive controls for Bass, Mid, and Treble on the
Clean channel, while the Ultra and Crunch channels use active Bottom,
Body, and Hair (lo, mid, hi) controls. The Clean channel is pristine yet
warm and is specifically voiced to work well with effects pedals. The
Ultra and Crunch channels have gain controls and fat switches to further
assist in taming this thunderous tube-powered beast while achieving
killer sound.Global resonance and presence knobs increase control of
high-end tones, while a noise gate on the Crunch and Ultra channels cuts
down on the excess noise generated by running the gain and EQ controls
on high settings. Since the gate is fully adjustable, you can really
clamp down, leave it slightly open, or just turn it off.The JSX uses 3 -
12AX7 preamp tubes and 4 - EL34 power amp tubes. The power amp section
delivers an earth-quaking 120W of pure tube power and can be converted
to 4 - 6L6GC. It is also designed to work equally well into 4-, 8-, or
16-ohm loads.
