Members Grindcore13 Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 I have tried the Marshall and really like the tone and drive of it. I have been reading about the JSX from Peavey. Anyone play the JSX? What are you thoughts on it? How does it compare to the TSL100 from Marshall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sordid1 Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 to me they are both great amps but I personally prefer the JSX and obviously I bought one. With a set of 6l6gc's in it the JSX can hang with just about anything out there for great tone. The Marshall is great to but it's a Marshall so it's either a lovehate thing. I wouldn't mind owning both but since I had to choose I got the JSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members unclean hands Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 I prefer the tsl. Its clean channel sounds just as nice and it doesn't sound like a wah is engaged on the ultra channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sglespaulartist Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 I as well cannot speak for the jsx, but I have played the tsl100 and I really like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members M-III Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 If you *must* have the Marshall sound,(although the JSX can get pretty Marshally on the crunch channel for most people) get the TSL100, other wise the JSX is just as good if not better IMHO.(it can definately get more modern sounding for metal) Both of them are pretty flexable amps, with a slight edge in more versatility to the JSX(thanks to the power tube select, fat switches, global presence, resonance and active EQ's) and it will be cheaper than the TSL to boot.

Members D/FW XJ'er Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 This isn't even a contest. TSL100 all the way. JSX is a toy in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup sure is, I can't believe I was dumb enough to buy one as opposed to the Marshall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Firegoat Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 I've owned a TSL100, DSL50 (didn't learn the first time around) and now the JSX. JSX is the hands down winner in all regards. The TSL always had the "ice-pick" tone that made bandmates mad, and that was running the treble fairly low. It had no low end either. While the cleans were decent with the TSL they didn't touch my JSX. I had both the TSL and DSL retubed while I owned them and that didn't make them any better. Don't forget reliability, I had the TSL footswitch cord crap out after only a couple of months use. Knock on wood the JSX has no issues. I wanted the TSL and DSL to work for me but it just never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, taste is very subjective man. Comparing the JSX or the TSL for that matter to a toy is a baseless, strawman arguement as both are well used by touring professionals. Just be honest and admit you don't like Peavey man, it's okay, you aren't the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members meanstreet Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 Both are cool amps, but it really comes down to your tonal preference. I owned a DSL and a JSX. For my tonal preference, the JSX won out and I sold the DSL. My other guitar player owns a TSL and while he likes it, he comments that if he had to do it over again, he'd get a JSX. I'd suggest trying both out and seeing which suits your tastes more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dave_Mc_2 Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 i'm not too fussed on either of them... what type of tones are you after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tonemeister87 Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 Firstly, this thread is USELESS without a poll. +1 For the JSX. I own one and love it. Great clean. Great Crunch. And a really distinct lead voicing which I love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members taken Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 I've played both, and I have to say for what I like, I thought the JSX hands down. It was versatile as hell, and had a million awesome tones in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members batotman Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 The JSX is more versatile but the thing I like about the DSL is the Deep Switch. Without it, I would hate the DSL. PS, I know some people are selling their JSX's (me because I got the Randall RM100 with modules!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Banded-Morwong Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 I have a JSX and have played a TSL And i cant believe anyone in their right mind would ever buy a marshall over it.

Members sgmarshall Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 Seems I'm in the minority here, I've owned both, and still own the TSL. I thought I liked the JSX better at first, but playing 2 nights back to back, first night JSX, second night TSL, the JSX got traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
