Peavey JSX Amp Wins International Award
(Peavey | Posted 2005-05-24)
Peavey has won a 2005 Musikmesse International Press Award (MIPA) for its acclaimed JSX* Joe Satriani signature guitar amp head. The JSX earned Best Guitar Top honors in the annual event.
Since its launch in 2004, the Peavey JSX has become one of the most popular, lauded guitar amplifiers on the market, inspiring the new JSX 212, a combo-amp version with two custom 12" JSX speakers, as well as critical praise.
"The [JSX] is forgiving of inexperienced players yet infinitely rewarding for experienced hands," wrote critic Eric Kirkland in Guitar World magazine's March 2005 issue. Guitar Player's Terry Buddingh raved in its May 2004 issue, "The JSX separates itself from the pack by delivering the goods with an uncommonly refined sense of articulation and authority. The Peavey JSX is a hard act to follow."
The Peavey JSX previously won the 2005 Music & Sound Award for Best New Instrument Amp and a Guitar Player Editor's Pick Award in 2004.
Fifty-eight musical instrument magazines from around the world vote on the annual MIPAs, which are presented at the Musikmesse trade show in Frankfurt, Germany, each April.
Now celebrating its 40th anniversary as one of the largest manufacturers of musical instruments and professional sound equipment in the world, Peavey holds more than 130 patents and produces more than 2,000 products, which are distributed throughout the United States and to 136 other countries.
