As hot as the name implies, this newest member of the Ultra™Tube Series rips. From its high-gain

input to paralleled speaker output jacks, the Peavey Electronics Triple XXX is not for the faint of

heart. Engineered for today’s discriminating guitarist, this amplifier is loaded with practical features

useful in real-world applications. Delivering an earth-quaking 120 Watts of pure tube power, the

Triple XXX is easily controllable thanks to a master volume pot, as well as independent volume

controls for each of its three channels. The Ultra and Crunch channels also have gain controls to

further assist in taming this beast while achieving killer sound. Tone contour is accomplished through

passive controls for Bass, Mid, and Treble on the Clean channel, while the Ultra and Crunch

channels utilize Peavey’s exclusive Bottom, Body, and Hair active controls. Designed to work

equally well into 4, 8, or 16-Ohm loads, matching this monster to a cabinet is limited only by your

imagination. With footswitchable channel and effects loop, the Triple XXX lets you keep your hands

on the guitar - and your eyes on your dream.

ENGLISH

(1) POWER SWITCH

This two-way toggle switch applies mains power to the unit. The red POWER STATUS LAMP

(3) will illuminate when this switch is in the ON position.

(2) STANDBY SWITCH

This two-way toggle switch allows the amp to be placed in the STANDBY mode. In the

STANDBY position the tubes stay hot but the amplifier is not operational. Switching to the ON

position places the amp in active mode.

(3) POWER STATUS LAMP

This indicator illuminates when mains power is being supplied to the amp.

(4) MASTER VOLUME

This control sets the overall volume level of the amp. Once the desired balance between the

three channels in the amplifier has been achieved, the entire output level of the unit can be

increased or decreased by rotating this control. Clockwise rotation increases level;

counterclockwise rotation decreases level.

(5) HAIR

This control, on both the Ultra and Crunch channels, varies the high frequency response of

the amplifier. It is an active control (shelving type) and allows 15 dB of boost or cut.

(6) BODY

This control, on both the Ultra and Crunch channels, varies the mid frequency response of

the amplifier. It is an active control (peak/notch type) and allows 15 dB of boost or cut.

(7) BOTTOM

This control, on both the Ultra and Crunch channels, varies the low frequency response of the

amplifier. It is an active control (shelving type) and allows 15 dB of boost or cut.

(8) VOLUME

This control, on all three channels, sets the overall level of its respective channel.

(9) GAIN

This control, on both the Ultra and Crunch channels, controls the input volume level of the

channel. Rotating this control clockwise will increase the amount of preamp distortion and

sustain.

(10) CHANNEL ACTIVATION LEDs

These indicators signify which channel is active. Ultra channel activation illuminates the red

LED; Crunch channel activation illuminates the yellow LED; and Clean channel activation

illuminates the green LED.

(11) TREBLE

This passive control regulates the high frequencies for the Clean channel.

(12) MID

This passive control regulates the mid frequencies for the Clean channel.

(13) BASS

This passive control regulates the low frequencies for the Clean channel.

(14) INPUT

This 1/4" jack is designed to accommodate most any guitar output signal. Input signal gain

can be adjusted by the GAIN (9) controls (Ultra and Crunch channels only).

(15) CHANNEL SELECT SWITCH

This three-position toggle switch allows selection between the amplifier’s three channels. LED

(10) illumination indicates which channel is active. Channel switching can also be

accomplished by footswitch. See the FOOTSWITCH section of this manual for explanation of

switch operation. The CHANNEL SELECT SWITCH must be set in the Ultra position in order

for the footswitch to operate properly.

5

(16) EFFECTS SEND LEVEL

This calibrated (0 – 10) control sets the level of signal being sent to external effects and/or

signal processors. Clockwise rotation increases the amount of signal being sent;

counterclockwise rotation decreases the amount. For the quietest operation, the EFFECTS

SEND LEVEL should be set as high as possible. Generally, the SEND and RETURN levels

should be set oppositely. If the EFFECTS SEND LEVEL is set low, the EFFECTS RETURN

LEVEL (19) is set high to achieve unity gain. If volume boost is desired, turn both controls to

higher settings.

(17/18) EFFECTS SEND / EFFECTS RETURN

These 1/4" mono (TS) jacks allow signal to be sent to and returned from external effects

and/or signal processors. Using shielded cables with 1/4" mono (TS) phone plugs, patch from

EFFECTS SEND to the input of the external device, and from the output of the external

device to EFFECTS RETURN. Only devices that do not increase signal gain should be used

in this effects loop (chorus, delay, reverb, etc.). If the footswitch is used, the EFFECTS

SELECTOR (33) switch must be depressed to activate the effects loop. See the

FOOTSWITCH section of this manual for explanation of switch operation.

(19) EFFECTS RETURN LEVEL

This calibrated (0 – 10) control sets the level of signal being returned from external effects

and/or signal processors. Clockwise rotation increases the amount of signal being returned;

counterclockwise rotation decreases the amount. Again, SEND and RETURN levels should

be set oppositely, with the SEND level being high and the RETURN level low to ensure the

quietest operation.

(20) REMOTE SWITCH

This seven-pin DIN connector is provided for the connection of the remote footswitch. The

footswitch cable should be connected before the amp is powered up. See the FOOTSWITCH

section of this manual for explanation of switch operation.

(21) BIAS TEST TERMINALS

These terminals are provided to measure the bias of the amplifier’s power tubes. A knob

behind the back panel grill allows for adjustment. Bias adjustment should only be done by a

qualified technician.

(22) DAMPING SWITCH

This three-position switch allows adjustment of the amplifier’s damping factor. Damping is the

ability of an amplifier to control speaker cone motion after a signal disappears. A high

damping factor (TIGHT) reduces cone vibration quicker than a low (LOOSE) factor. This

switch works much like the resonance and presence controls on other Peavey amps, if those

controls were turned simultaneously. If the DAMPING SWITCH is changed, the volume of the

amp will also change and require re-adjustment.

(23) CABINET IMPEDANCE SWITCH

This three-position switch allows appropriate selection of speaker cabinet impedance. If two

enclosures of equal impedance are used, the switch should be set to half the individual value.

For example, two 16-Ohm enclosures necessitate an 8-Ohm setting, while two 8-Ohm

enclosures would require a 4-Ohm setting. Minimum speaker impedance is 4 Ohms.

(24) SPEAKER OUTPUTS

These paralleled 1/4" mono (TS) jacks are provided for the connection of speaker

enclosure(s). Again, minimum speaker impedance is 4 Ohms. The CABINET IMPEDANCE

SWITCH (23) should be set to match the load of the speaker cabinet(s).

(25) LINE OUT LEVEL

This control sets the level of signal being sent out of the LINE OUT (26) jack. It may be used

to balance the level of slave power amp/speaker systems driven from the LINE OUT (26) to

the level of cabinets driven from the SPEAKER OUTPUTS (24).

(26) LINE OUT

This 1/4" mono (TS) jack provides a post-power amp signal to drive another power

amp/speaker system while maintaining the amplifier’s tone.

(27) FUSE

A fuse is located within the cap of the fuse holder. This fuse must be replaced with one of the

same type and value to avoid damaging the amplifier and voiding the warranty. If the amp

repeatedly blows the fuse, it should be taken to a qualified service center for repair.

WARNING: THE FUSE SHOULD ONLY BE REPLACED AFTER THE POWER CORD HAS

BEEN DISCONNECTED.

(28) GROUND POLARITY SWITCH

This three-position, rocker-type switch should normally be placed in the center (0) position. If

hum or noise is noticed coming from the speaker enclosure(s), the switch may be placed in

the “+” or “-” position to minimize hum/noise. If changing the polarity does not alleviate the

problem, consult your authorized Peavey dealer, the Peavey factory, or a qualified service

technician.

(29) IEC MAINS CONNECTOR

This is a standard IEC power connector. An AC mains cord having the appropriate AC plug

and ratings for the intended operating voltage is included in the carton. The mains cord

should be connected to the amplifier before connecting to a suitable AC outlet.

U.S DOMESTIC AC MAINS CORD

The mains cord supplied with the unit is a heavy-duty, 3-conductor type with a conventional

120 VAC plug with ground pin. If the outlet used does not have a ground pin, a suitable

grounding adapter should be used, and the third wire should be grounded properly.

Never break off the ground pin on any equipment. It is provided for your safety.

7

(30) CABLE CONNECTOR

This 7-pin DIN connector is provided for connecting the footswitch to the amplifier REMOTE

SWITCH (20) via the cable included in the carton. Connections at the switch and the amplifier

should be made before the amp is powered up.

(31) ULTRA / CRUNCH SELECTOR

This switch selects between the Ultra and Crunch channels on the amplifier. The adjacent

LED will illuminate when the Ultra channel is selected. When the LED is dark, the Crunch

channel is selected. The CLEAN SELECTOR (32) must be in the BYPASS mode to activate

either the Ultra or Crunch channel.

(32) CLEAN SELECTOR

This switch selects the Clean channel and will activate regardless of the position of the

ULTRA / CRUNCH SELECTOR (31). The adjacent LED will illuminate when the Clean

channel is selected. This switch must be in the BYPASS position, indicated by a dark LED, in

order to utilize the ULTRA / CRUNCH SELECTOR (31).

(33) EFFECTS SELECTOR

This switch activates the amplifier’s effects loop (16 – 19). The adjacent LED will illuminate

when the effects loop is active.
