What albums has Andy used a Peavey JSX on?

[Josh Burgess]

I know the Despised Icon album The Ills of Modern Man was boosted Peavey JSX... sounds awesome. I was just wondering, has Sneap used the JSX on any other albums? If so, which? Kinda curious to hear...

Also, anybody know if he's used the XXX/3120 on anything?

Anthems of Rebellion was half XXX, and Atrocity Exhibit A was XXX as well, IIRC!

That´s right, Anthems also blended with 5150 and Atrocity all XXX. I think XXX and JSX are pretty the same....

Nope, there are definitely differences, in favor of the XXX IMO (the JSX is like a more unpleasantly and weirdly metallic-sounding XXX IMO)

Agree with Marcus. The JSX has a really metallic vibe that makes it much more suited to djenty-type stuff.

Djent? ...I like Djent! Care to explain further? Is it tighter then even a 6505?

Chimaira Resurrection was a blend of JSX and Krankenstein wasn't it?

Found this....

Andy himself is not sure either it's 5150 or JSX, Alzheimer my friends...
Checked my archives, apparently it is JSX + Krank, Mesa Cab with SM57

'stein, not Revolution I think for the Krank part.

The JSX's Ultra channel is supposedly based on the XXX's Crunch channel.

i always thought it sounded like a 5150. shows how wrong i was. that album has fucking supreme tone though!

 

[GuitarHack]

It's my fave Sneap Guitar Tone and overall mix.

 

[GarethSE]

agreed 100%

 

[Ataraxia2320]

Wow, never woulda thunk thats what they used on resurrection. Then again i had no idea, its defiantly a unique guitar tone. My fave sneap mix/tone also!

 

[tobin1]

The JSX was only used for solo's and leads for Resurrection, the rhythm guitars were krankenstien and 5150.

 

[crillemannen]

I have a JSX and a Triple X and i have to say that i dont like the JSX that much. It sounds like a bad Triple X, more mids for sure and not as tight as a Triple x.

 

[JoshSylosis]

despised icon was just two tracks of JSX wasnt it?

 

[Andy Sneap]

i think so

Wroooong, look at the Sneap-quote above.

I dunno. The guitar tone on that Ills of Modern Man cd is fucking great. Nice and aggressive. Awesome lead tone too.

It seems to have a little bit more upper mid cut than the 5150, but overall not all that different sounding (atleast when both are boosted with a tubescreamer and going through a mesa oversized cab). I might have to look into checking out a JSX, since I've heard they have great clean channels also, something the 5150 definitely lacks...

The Resurrection guitar tone and Ills of Modern Man guitar tone actually sound very similar, but it's a little thicker sounding on the Ills of Modern Man, which I like more.
