Joe Satriani is known as much for his virtuosic playing as for the adventurous guitar tonescapes he creates album after album. We tapped this colorful guitar genius to create the masterful all-tube tone machines in his signature JSX® Series.

Loaded with three independent channels and comprehensive tonal control, the flagship JSX Head puts the full spectrum of guitar tones at your fingertips. Starting with a pristine Clean channel—the perfect foundation for layering Joe's outboard effects—and including exclusive FAT switches that add extra heft to the Ultra and Crunch channels, patented Presence and Resonance adjustment and a power amp that can use EL34 or 6L6GC tubes, the JSX is the ultimate tone machine.

Augmenting the original JSX amp's three-channel, 120-watt configuration, the JSX 212 Combo includes all of the features of the Head plus reverb in a 2x12, open-backed configuration that offers sonic possibilities you can’t get with a traditional head-and-cabinet configuration.

The JSX Mini Colossal, the latest collaboration between Joe and Peavey, is a 5-watt, true class-A amplifier with tremolo and a speaker-simulated direct out (cribbed from the JSX 412 enclosure) that actually sounds just like the amp. Built to run clean, crunchy or down and dirty, it’s colossally easy to get a great classic tone from the Mini Colossal.

Only a guitar virtuoso like Joe Satriani could design amps as original as these.
