Peavey Triple XXX II Review

The Peavey Triple XXX II all-tube guitar amplifier head is packed with high gain, high power and exclusive tone-shaping features that take guitar players from crystal-clear cleans to roaring overdrive and everything between.

The Triple XXX II's two footswitchable high-gain channels, Rhythm and Lead, utilize active Bass, Mid and Treble tone controls that allow players to boost or cut the frequencies 12 dB rather than simply cut like a passive control. The pristine, footswitchable Triple XXX II Clean channel is the perfect foundation for layering outboard effects.

The Triple XXX 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.
