View the previous opinion. Head very complete. Aesthetically it is a nice product.

UTILIZATION

Very simple. Is heated and go.
The manual is present and explains all the functions but can do without.
The footswitch request an adjustment period but we made it fast ...
Otherwise, it is heavy, logical for a head lamp ...

SOUNDS

I play in a metal band with old (70-80). The JSX is ideal but not only. It is very versatile and can venture into other styles, or softer, more savage.
The clean channel is amazing. I do not have a vocabulary of guitar very developed, so to describe it, I would say it is "beautiful." It sounds at once and with a wide range equalizer is very effective.
The crunch channel is already a pretty impressive headroom, when was the ultra, then sending that severe .... Gros its insured and adjustments simple and really effective. I emphasize the versatility made possible by an equalizer that changes the sound completely. Just look, there is necessarily a good sound.
Otherwise, it's not an amp for playing in his room. It is powerful, very powerful ... That said you can still play a low retaining good sound. But it is for letting the horses!
I play with my 2 Jackson and his emg emg 81 and a speaker peavey 5150.
I add 2 pedals in the loop that I press for solos or clean sounds: A delay / chorus and a boost.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 3 months. I'm so glad that I can not wait to go and repeat to release watts. Like a kid with his toy what!
When I started looking for a head, I thought a lot of models (single correct, Mr. Hector Krankenstein, 5150, 6505, XXX, JVM410 ... etc.) and oddly not that one. Error ....
By any chance that my research I found one of OCCAZ near me. So I went to try it and I was hooked. By the sound it out, power, versatile side, and the fact that it is very comprehensive.
While counsel to those seeking a head: Add the JSX in the list and try ... It probably will surprise you.
