XX Good

The Peavey XXL amp is definitely one of the most outstanding solidstate amplifier in guitar universe. If you've heard it in use, you'd wonder how the manufacturer pulled it off without having any tube in there; it sounds very organic with lots of definition. I only had a chance to hear this head's performance in a sample soundclip & wanted one badly...

Unfortunately, the head version of the amp didn't make it here, I had to make do with the 2X12 combo version which is absolutely unregrettable. The good Peavey people are not keen in incorporating imposing drivers in their cabs, instead, the ones in this one is a pair of unglamourous Blue Marvel, in-house units which are excellent, to say the least.

To date, the XXL series are unfortunately discontinued...

'good' is subjective. it's 'preferred' more like it...
