Peavey 6505+ or the 5150, can't leave those off the list...

Unfortunately, I wasn't happy with the Vypyr at all. I found the lows to be quite muddy and I got a terrible rattle from my speaker when on the dirty channel.

It DOES have a ton of features for a low priced SS amp, but most of them are simply throw-aways in my opinion. I would NOT recommend this as a starter/practice amp.

The Microcube just isn't worth the money compared to the 15x
Spider III 15W is crap. it's the worst outta the family, and it comes from a pretty crappy family.
MGs aren't that great, unless you're into the sound of 'em I guess.
Really, for low priced SS modeling... It's a toss-up between the Cube 15x and Vypyr 15W.. Both good amps for the money (Though, I prefer the 30w mates of the two, but, those are 100$ more). I say just try both of them out and see which one you like best. For the price, you can't beat either. Though, IMO, I say go with the Vypyr.

Some good ideas and nice features, but the sound quality can not compare to line6/bogner. Also there is a weird high pitch sound that I cant get rid of. Sorry but I give this amp the finger!

i have to choose between this amp or a Marshall mg15cdr. which one is best??

IF You:
1-Want MANY effects, and up to 4 of them at the same time (distortion, one of the effects on board (includes: chorus, termolo, phase shift, octave...etc), + delay + reverb.
2-not planing on spending any more bucks on stompboxes(effects pedals)
3-Like that clean sound out of a fender twin, or a really distorted sound like the 6505 (like the sound you hear from metal and hardcore bands) in one amp.

Then get this vypyr.

My 15 watt Peavy vypyr amp delivers! It has lots of options to experiment with and is loud! It is a motivating tool that you will play for hours (I couldn't stop).Dynamite in a small package sums this amp up!

Peavey highly recommends updating the firmware on these amps. You don't have to have a higher end vypyr to do it though. Just get a usb to midi cable and plug it in the back and it works fine. They're fixing all the bugs.

I don't have mine yet but I definitely plan on getting the 30 watt. I don't need anything louder. But I really wish they did the krankenstein channel some justice. It should definitely out-gain the recto and the 6505 but it doesn't sound very good on this amp. I wish it could do dime tones but it comes close. Recto with maxed gain, very little mids, maxed highs and 3/4 lows with tube screamer sounds amazing. Pinch harmonics have that awesome dime squeal to them. Just not enough gain to get his rythm tone though

Nothing else. It gets pretty loud, too. It's only 15W, but the speaker is rated for 35W. So there's not a big chance you'll blow it out.

I'd rather have a Roland Cube. An amp doesn't need all those extra features. Real effects that come from pedals and stompboxes sound way better.
