Fun fact about the Peavey JSX, it has the cheapest noise gate circuit possible. Unlike more advanced noise gates, it uses crossover diodes, which works by simply cutting all the signal below a certain threshold (the Vf of the diodes used), introducing crossover distortion in the process, the "noise gate" control on the JSX is actually blend between the 2 signals. Amptweaker pedals use(d?)s them in their "tight" pedals line (tight metal, tight rock and so on...). Advanced noise gates are reducing the volume when nothing is played, using a peak detector, they're simply inversed compressors, that will reduce the signal during silences instead of during a signal, very different from cutting the noise floor ALL the time like the crossover diode noise gate.
JSX sounds fuller to me. Wider frequency range covered. I was expecting to prefer the 5150 but that JSX edged it here, at least to me it did. In the room it might feel different. I would say the 5150 probably comes through a band mix better though. Great video! Great tones and playing always!
You have the jsx sounding so mean! I love it's raw "stringy" quality and definition. I would pay for a clone of it on the headrush prime platform 😉 😜 😘

My noise gate on my JSX doesn't do anything and a lot of people have the same issue
Was just talking to you about this haha! Now I really can’t choose lol they both sound so damn good 😂

I'd still go with the Peavey, when I can't afford a Marshall, I was stupid like that...

Especially with the direwolf up front
Wild how similar they sound
Sounded a lot different to me!
Wow I liked the Peavey better 🔥
Great comparison. Thx! What cab/IR are you running?
Is the JSX stock ?? Its sounds brutal, and the Stealth is a hell of and amp.
I actually prefer the JSX over the Stealth
