Gear Review: Friends With The Enemy guitarist Stu Petrie on His Peavey JSX Amp Head

What one piece of equipment do you use to obtain your signature sound?
Stu: A 120 Watt Peavey JSX amp head.

What about it makes it so important to you?
Stu: The diverse sounds you can get out of this amp is crazy. You can get just about any genre of guitar sound out of it, and with a little bit of style!

What are the major pros and cons?
Stu: Well, it looks cool, and sounds even better. It’s a super reliable Peavey amp, which I’ve always loved using. The only thing bad about this amp is you can only fit so many on your speaker box. [laughs]

How long have you used this piece of equipment and would you ever change it?
Stu: I bought this amp 6 years ago, and i still haven’t heard anything better. It gives me what i want, when i want and has never let me down. I don’t think I’ll ever change amps, unless it’s getting a new JSX. [laughs]

Any final thoughts or comments on the gear?
Stu: Throw your Marshalls, Mesas and Kranks in the bin and grab one of these, you wont be disappointed!
