Members peavey_impact Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 My only beef with them is the whole series of amps which share similar topology (basically the ultra series) are fairly compressed. Fairly compressed? the XXX is one of the most compressed-to-fuck amps I can think of. That said, I think they are awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shane159 Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 I put a 12AT7 in the V2 ,used WingedC EL34's, and I loved the difference it made with my last XXX. Way less compressed and allot more usable gain. Elemenope has the amp now and he seems to like it allot also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I think they are awesome Well yeah they are both (compressed and awesome!) but the crunch channel set up carefully can be a bit uncompressed in character, like it will respond in the dynamic range of your playing, instead of the midi note behaviour some amps like the recto or 5150 exhibit in their all out modes...But in the ultra, you are there also. Pretty high gain the crunch channel as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ej Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 Is that a Randall Cab on the bottom? The XXX is a fun amp, I enjoyed jamming on it when in had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GibsonVMan Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 Sweet. These amps love v30s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Viesczy Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 XXX is a great amp. Sounds great at all volumes. I use the ultra as where all the rhythm work is done and come solo time I hop on over to the equally massive crunch channel for its brighter voice. Can't go wrong with a XXX.
