Peavey’s Amp division is introducing the new Peavey® Triple X® II all-tube guitar amp head, is packed with lots of gain, power and exclusive tone-shapers designed to take guitar players from crystal clean tones to a satisfying crunch and everything in between.
The Triple X II (sometimes written as Triple XXX II) amplifier specializes in versatility and modern high gain with three channels that put tonal flexibility at players’ fingertips. Cranking 120 watts into 16, 8 or 4 ohms with four EL34 or 6L6GC power tubes and four 12AX7 preamp tubes, the Triple X II is powerful and versatile.
The Triple X II has two high-gain channels that are switchable with a footswitch between Rhythm and Lead, and they utilize active Bass, Mid and Treble tone controls that let players boost or cut the frequencies up to 12 decibels rather than just cut like a passive control. A mid-boost voicing on the Rhythm and Lead channels allows the amp to cut through a full band, while exclusive Fat switches add extra heft to each channel. Peavey’s adjustable Noise Gate quiets high-gain noise on the Rhythm and Lead channels, so players can crank the amp as loud as they damn please.
The footswitchable Triple X II Clean channel is a great foundation for layering effects. With the usual Treble, Mid and Bass tone controls and lots of headroom, the Clean channel maintains good clarity at high volumes without distorting—the ideal setup for using stomp-boxes and effects.
The Triple X II features a comprehensive control section with independent Volume controls on each of the three channels (Clean, Rhythm and Lead), Gain controls on Rhythm and Lead, and a global Master Volume control. The master section also features Resonance and Presence, Peavey’s exclusive tone-sculpting tools that adjust upper- and lower-end response by altering the power amp’s damping factor. Additional features include Line Out with Level control, a footswitchable Effects Loop with Send and Return controls, and a power amp that can use EL34 or 6L6GC tubes.
The Triple X II is built to last in the U.S.A., backed by Peavey’s free five-year extended warranty, and available now from authorized Peavey retailers. Check out their website to find the dealer nearest you.
