To think Peavey could have had EVH, Satriani, and Lynch as endorsees, and now none, is heartbreaking.

IM GROOVIN ON THE CHROME

i got the peavey jsx combo about 2 months ago :-) it was so awesome to get my fav amp back ! :-D the combos nice it has a half power switch and reverb built in.

Best amp I've ever played

I am gassing for one of these here in 2020..

@IIHamishII Yes! I'am gonna start saving up for his signature or the Mesa Boogie mark v! Should come out this year?

Great guitarists are like Wizards. Look at their way of talking and acting. They are totally wizards.

i did some reading into it after. he got pissed they delayed the peavey jsx 50. he said they gave him the run around. he saids they kept saying its coming its coming its coming and he felt like they diddnt really care. just as he was backing out the jsx 50 was gearing up to come out they had it at a namm show and everything then he signed with marshall so peavey scrapped it

My amp is rated @ 120 watts. It also has hi and lo gain inputs. And it used JJ EL 34’s until now. One tube lost vacuum and smoked the 5A ceramic mains fuse. Putting EH EL34’s in it and see what it sounds like. I was using this amp thru 2-2x12 cabs and never cared for the sound, but I didn’t look what speakers the ADA cabs use - maybe Celestion classic 30’s. Plugged it into my Marshall 4x12 cab and had a totally different sound - it came alive. To my ears the treble and presence controls are waaay to bright and shrill once you start turning them up, but the tone controls seem to be active rather than passive. I will have to look at the schematic - ifI can find one. Been looking but not much out there. I still prefer my Marshall DSL100H over this amp though. One thing I like about this amp that the Marshall doesn’t have is the level controls on the effects loop. If you turn up the output level, you can get a nice volume boost for leads by stepping on the foot switch FX loop with no effects running thru it.

i love my jsx combo she does anything i ask it to do. i just got to dial it in

When he plays at the end I hear all kinds of reverb and delay. that amp has neither?

I bought this amp and mine does not have the direct out plug? It has line out! Wish I new this before buying 😮 love the tone off 3 channels but would be great to run to front of house along with mic on front of amp?

Crazy when you think that time Joe Satriani still has strong relationship with Peavey engineers. There is a website with his interview saying Peavey becomes unresponsive with the new JSX 50W project while in coincidence trying out a Marshal amp in a studio. Still a great amp and I thought the JSX looks better on him.

the jsx is awesome i had one had to part ways with her. i cant believe hes going to marshall. look up videos of joe when he first started talking about making his own amp he said how all the big guys want you to use what they make not want you want them to make. i dont understand peavey did everything he asked and then he leaves. why joe ...why???

Joe could play a Line 6 spider and sound like Joe

wait, isn't the JSX 120 watt head? why is this called the JSX100?

@IIHamishII Is this true!?

Agreed that they clean channel is a bit thin..But the compression they did remove.. You compare the original JVM 410h with joes and they nothing alike ! Joe's has the reall marshall sound IMO

hmm and now he's using a marshall jvm

Anybody notice the Electro Harmonix EL34s? Am I the only one? -.-

No mention of Ben Fargen...come on Joe

A really late response, but I guess the answer that we can come up for this is that: Joe said he was always a Marshall guy, and as soon as Marshall offered to make him an amp he dumped Peavey... It really upsets me, I have a JSx 120w head, and I love it so much. Does anything I want it to, but sad that Joe left Peavey.

Yeah but he dumped them for marshall jvm

Probably that horrible clean chanel works good for Satch, and probably that lack of bottom is enough bottom for Satch,,,,great guitar players can tame their own amps,,,

It just came out...and it fucking blows. Horrible clean channel, lacks bottom end, too much treble - just too harsh and compressed even though Joe claims they removed the compression from the gain channels. I much prefer the JSX.
