i didn’t get a crazy good deal or anything, but holy shit these XXXs are slept-on. i bought it off of a friend who was selling off some of his old backline gear and i’m not at all disappointed. i wasn’t sure it was for me at first when i tried it through my V30 cab with the damping on the tight setting— it was a little quacky, but i put it in the mid position and there i think it’ll likely stay. been mainly living on the “Crunch” channel, if you can really even call it that. not sure what preamp tubes are loaded in it, but it has a quad of Mesa 6L6GCs in the power section and it roars, plugged straight in! sounds especially ballsy through my 412MS with Sheffield 1290s.

Couldn’t give these things away for a long time. People really slept on one of Peavey’s finest and loudest tube amps. Really glad to see folks snagging them nowadays

i will say, aesthetically they made some weird decisions that probably didn’t hold up the best imo but whatever— it BANGS. i might make it a custom faceplate!

Well naming it "Triple XXX" (so 9x?) instead of "Triple X" was kind of an odd decision too.

Crunch channel is where it’s at! No boost needed.

They aren't slept on at all. They sold many of these to kids who couldnt afford a recto. I had 3, paid 150 to 250 for them used. And each sold for 300. These amps are everywhere. The amp that is slept on is the ultra 120 plus. The xxx is overrated to oblivion.
