Ive thought about getting this but it would be an absolute ship anchor. I believe this one has been up for a while. Plug and go

As a boat anchor expert I'd say you could do a lot worse than a Triple XXX.

I don't like the tones from my XXX head except for the cleans. Every YouTube video I've seen has left me unimpressed as well. It's going on Craigslist soon. JSX is much tighter and has a lot more percussive attack.

They all have an obscene amount of gain and benefit greatly from a lower gain pre tube.
The XXX is the most raw and aggressive of the three imo.

Yes, a 5751 in V2 was my go-to. The JSX was tolerable, the XXX definitely benefitted

Yep, you recommended it to me, huge improvement!

I've had many Peaveys, the JSX is one of my favorites. There isn't much to complain about except for the active EQ maybe and the noise reduction diodes.

I'm working on annotating a JSX schematic to compare it with a XXX. I want to dispel some myths.
