Peavey Triple X head. 6L6 or EL34?

[Shask]

I'd pick one up in a heartbeat if I found one cheap. People are really jacking the prices up, and nobody wants to ship them because they're heavy AF.

I love both the JSX and Triple XXX. The JSX is still one of my all-time favorite amps.

The lack of Resonance and Presence is the main thing that I wish it had. Damping on loose has the best bass, but it also makes the high end more harsh.

Funny enough, I also have a Gflex 212, and that is a great cab with this amp since it is dark. My cab with V30s / T75s are much harsher with it.

You could luck out with finding the right tubes. Maybe. You're better off modding the amp to get the lows and highs right. By modding, I mean changing or adding some caps in key places. The jsx fat switch adjusts a coupling cap value early in the circuit. The xxx does it automatically when changing channels. Smaller cap, tighter bass.

To tame the gain, replace the gain pot. XXX has 1M on both channels. Other amps in the series have 50K on the crunch.

There was a MINT G-Flex 4x12 on FB Marketplace a few weeks ago for like $400. I was SO tempted to grab it, but I just couldn't justify the need for it. Seller was right up the road too.

I'm talking to a guy about the El Diablo head and cab for $560. I don't really have any interest in the head. I tried one out a couple of times in the local music store, and as far as I remember, it was trash, but I could just flip the head.

There's a GFlex half stack for sale locally here for $1000 CAD ($700 USD) and he's willing to split them up so could probably get the cab for $400 CAD ($285 USD) but I've already got 7 412s...

Those heads are garbage.
