"Saying the triple x is terrible is very subjective. First of all, this amp has active eq which makes it very touch senstive and doesn't make it idiot proof like a 5150. You actually need to take some time to dial in this amp. Secondly, this amp is voiced very similarly to a mesa rectifier and even hints at the mesa mark series which are both very well liked amps. The xxx also has a ton of gain on tap, so if you just crank the gain then you'll drown your tone pretty quickly. It's a much more"

“…versatile amp than a 5150 and many other amps within the high gain family. The clean channel is great too. If you’re looking for a boosted v4 tone then the triple x or anything in the same category isn’t going to satisfy you, but that should be obvious. Don’t disregard a piece of gear until you know exactly what it can do first hand. Some stuff just sucks, but many opinions are ignorant and biased.”
