My JSX experience.
OK guys, I don't post hardly at all on the board but I do check in and read quite a bit.
I work as a mgr. for GC here in indy and for about 3 weeks straight I went in to work and played the JSX every work day and last week I finally had to have one.
I got the head and an Avatar red 2x12 cab loaded with vintage 30's and a metal grill. I have owned 5150 heads, DSL's, Mesa and even a Vetta. I considered the new Marshall Vintage Modern but I want versatility.
One of the reason's that I bought it was b/c of the clean channel. Stick a simple Boss reverb pedal in front of it and WOW!!!!! For a 3 channel amp to have a clean channel like this with the simple addition of a reverb pedal is great.
I was also really impressed with the crunch channel for good chord definition ala' VH. The lead channel will suit my needs too and if I want to really push it I could throw an EQ pedal in front of it for a Rhoads type tone or even a MXR Zakk pedal or maybe a Boss OD.
The amp takes pedals quite well and and has so much tweaking potential if that makes sense..... I will stick with the EL34 tubes b/c I am sooo sick of the 6L6 tones heard in so many of todays high gain amps.
At work I would play a Charvel strat style headstock guitar loaded with active EMG single coil sized active pickups (brass trem) and at home a PRS singlecut. I soon hope to have a Charvel EVH.
Just my 2 cents and if you all have any questions please give me a shout.
