Features: Peavey has been working on building this digital modeling amplifier for over two years past the expected release date in order to out-do the Line 6 Spider series. They succeeded with flying colors. Peavey's Vypyr 15 watt practice amp packs in a dozen or so amp models with each having two different sounds: clean and distorted. The amp models range from the JSX to a named but non-credited K-Stein to a Peavey Classic to a 6150. There are tons of options here for tonal variety and a lot to mess around with in order to find your personal sound. Along with the amp models you get a dozen or so effects including a flanger, delay, chorus, reverb, tube screamer and the exciting reverse function. Each effect includes two adjustable parameter controls which are accessed by pressing the effects button in and thus entering edit mode. Along with all of this stuff, there are three banks with four channel save options. In relation to ther sizes, the Vypyrs have three times the RAM as Spiders do. On larger amp models starting at 60 watt, there is a USB port access so you can download the new amp system into your amplifier whenever it is updated instead of having to dish out a few hundred bucks to get the newest model. // 10
Sound: A lot of people thought Line 6 was the ultimate option for tone but the Peavey Vypyr series has got them beat for sure. With all of the different options avilable for your amp model and such, you can have nearly endless possibilities for your sound. You can take a clean Twin tube sound and pound on a tube screamer or chorus. Or you can put on the extreme distortion brought down by the K-Stein model. Anything you can make on a Spider you can produce using this wonder-machine, and this is just a practice amp! On the larger amps there are two effects options so you can have two effects running at one time. One of the most prominent complaints in regards to the Spider amps was the bad clean sound. It was okay but just wasn't cutting it. You can expect a much solider clean sound out of this little machine. You can produce the melloest sound you want or the heaviest distortion ever that could bring your house down! // 10
Reliability & Durability: Despite the small size of this amplifier, some might say that it is too small to be loud enough to work well without having a lot of feedback. On the contrary, I actually did an experiment where I played Live to some people with this amp not visible and with my 75 watt Spider on the stage turned on. Everyone thought it was the Spider I was playing through and they were surprised to find out I was using a 15 watt practice amp. One of the first mistakes I made when taking it out was I had to shake it out of it's tight box. It fell on the floor but remained perfectly intact and sounded exactly like the demo model I used. This amp would certainly be reliable during a gig. The only thing is that you can't use a foot switch with it yet. You can only do that with a 30 watt or more. // 10
Impression: This is a perfect amplifier to use for whatever style of music you play whether it be blues, metal, hard rock, classic rock, or whatever. This is a great value for the money because Peavey could easily increase the price of this piece of equipment and still get it to sell very well. At first all I used was Line 6 and it was all used. I was completely devoted to Line 6 but this amp series is so much better. If you are looking for endless tonal diversity and a gazillion options for your sound, just look up Peavey subsection Vypyr in the encyclopedia. // 10

Price paid: $ 100
Purchased from: Guitar Center
Features: Where do I start? This solid state modeling amp has more features than I can count. 12 distinct Amp models, each with a clean and distorted channel, 11 rack effects, three band equalizer, pre and post-gain controls, delay, reverb, a chromatic tuner, 12 fully programmable presets, a 1/8" auxilary imput to play along with MP3's and a 1/8" headphone out for silent practice. The only feature that I wish it had was a footswitch for switching from one preset to another while playing, but this is available on higher Vypyr models.
There are a few effects that just aren't up to par. For me, I found the Env Filter and rotary spiker rather useless, unless you spend a good deal of time manually editing them. Also, the Octaver dosen't sound good no matter how much I try to tweak it. To be honest the sheer amount of stuff that you can do with this amp is a bit overwhelming.
I am a beginning guitarist and use this amp only for practice, but it does have the ability to get quite loud, and I could see it being used at some gigs. Personally, I have never taken the volume up over 3 and it has suited my needs rather well. // 10
Sound: I have used this amp with both an Ibanez rg 120, and an Epiphone Les Paul Standard. What really impresses me about this amp is the variety of sounds that you can make. You can easily play anything from clean blues and jazz to heavy metal all with one amp and no petals. And since this is a solid state amp you can get all these sounds at a reasonable volume. However, none of these sounds will be done particularily well. You can get a tone somewhere in the ballpark of Angus Young, or B.B. King, but you'll never be able to get the subtle nuances of any particular sound. It's a classic Ack of all trades situation. // 6
Reliability & Durability: As I said, I only use this amp for practice, so I don't gig with it and it dosen't travel much (This really isn't designed as a performance amp anyway). Mine is in great shape and I haven't had any problems with it. But I must say that the plastic knobs and switches feel rather cheap, and I could easily see them breakinng off if not treated well. // 4
Impression: I think that this is one of the most versitile amps on the market, however I don't know if it has a great niche. As a beginner, the amount of sounds that you can get from this amp is great for discovering what type of music you enjoy playing. The auxilary in allows you to build confidence by jamming with your favorite songs, and the headphoe, jack lets you do all of this without disturbing others. However the amount of options that you have can be overwhelming since you may not know what some of the terms mean or what they do, so you won't be able to take full advantage of the many features. You might want to simplify things a bit with the Marshall mg15(solid state), or the Bugera v5(tube).
As an experienced player, you can use the many features of the Vypyr to their fullest, but you will likely be dissatisfied with the end results.
Ultimately, I think it comes down to price. At 100$ an amp with this many features is still a steal, and you can still geat an amazing variety of decent sounds. // 7

Purchased from: Guitar Center
Features: I've been playing for about a year now. This baby owns! it has 12 different Peavey amp models (clean or dirty on each, so 24 for those slow at math), plus 12 effects (Trem, Chorus, Auto Wah, Slap back, flanger, tubescream, bypass, octaver, phaser, rotary spkr, reverse, pitch shift) - all that you can fine tune. I bought a wireless headphone set and plugged it in for nighttime use (excellent btw), and often plug my iPod into the aux input jack. This lovely piece (which is the 15w version) is pleanty loud! // 10
Sound: I have an Epiphone Les Paul Standard with GFS Retrotrons (the guy I bought it from said he'd put them in for free). I like the heavy-ish stuff (Metallica, Pantera, Tool), grunge stuff (STP's, Pearl Jam, etc.), and the classics (Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, etc.). The 505 amp model is perfect for Metallica, the Twn is great for clean, and B-Kat (on dirty) is awesome with AC/DC. Sometimes it can get a little buzzy on distortion and clean, but you can fine tune the low, mid, high, pre gain, and post gain levels and fix it a little. // 8
Reliability & Durability: I can definately depend on this MoFo. I'm not sure I would this small of an amp in a gig (atleast the 50w?? ). Sometimes-I don't know if it's just mine- when I turn it on, a couple random lights show up and it won't play, but I just flip the Switch off then on again and it's all better. // 8
Impression: This is a very good starter amp. If you can't afford that Marshall and those effects pedals it is excellent. It can range anywhere from hillbilly, to blues, to great clean, to good distortion, to metal, and probably to death metal, too (lol). I might buy a nother one if it was lost or stolen, but probably upgrade to one with the MIDI port on it (30w atleast). It's a very nice sounding amp, and will fit in anywhere from beginners to experts. When I checked it out at GC the guy said it was waayy better than the Line 6 Spider III's. I wish it came with a Switch pedal though. That's about it! GREAT AMP! // 9

Price paid: C$ 180
Purchased from: Lee's Music
Features: Well, for starters, it looks pretty cool, with the fancy colored lights and such. It comes with 12 different amp sounds programmed into it, each of which can be switched from clean to overdrive. It also has reverb controls, as well as pre and post gain controls, along with a whole mess of effects like tubescreamer, chorus, reverse, and (my personal favorite) the phaser. You can dial in and change these effects with the 'edit' mode. All this, with the added bonus of a tuner. It took me a few hours to play around with all the buttons and effects to get the right sound I need. The first time I dialed in the effects it saved them, but I don't know how to overwrite what I've already put down. I shouldn't need to, it has 4 different memory slots for your settings (I Have 1 channel on Mega-gain, 1 on Crunchy, and 1 on clean). The clean tones were a little hard to get at; you have to knock the pre gain down really low to avoid distortion. So really, for features, this amp has a lot of options. // 10
Sound: Right now I have a PRS SE EG with 2 single coils and a humbucker, tuned down to mostly D or even drop C. I'm mostly into rock and metal, and to this end, the amp suit's me very well. This is one loud amp. I was suprised I was hurting my ears and it was only on 5/13. This is easily the loudest 15W amp I have ever heard. This amp mostly excels at high-gain metal tones, and the 505 setting is the most high gain. I have found that I have never been able to coax a proper pinch harmonic out of my guitar with any other amp I own. I thought this was because I was doing it wrong, but with this amp my guitar squeals like a pig. The 505 setting and the JSX are kind of noisy, but I just dial back the gain a bit and it works okay. The clean tones are... Okay. But that's it. I've yet to find an amp that doesn't distort clean signals at high volume, but you really have to back off the gain to get a smooth clean tone. The effects are really cool. You get a nice watery chorus, a reverby slap back, an auto wah (which really isn't strong enough), a flanger, a tubescream, a phaser, a reverser, a tremelo, an octaver, a rotary speaker, and a few more but I havn't really used them much. The ones I want to talk about are the tubescream and the reverse. Everything else works fine but these ones I don't really like. The reverse can be fun to play around with, but it only samples about 2 or 3 seconds before it plays them, so big long reversed sustains are out of the question. The tubescream would works as an overdrive, but don't try using it on any setting other than a clean one. It amplifies any noise at all (and I mean any), so as soon as you go to play something you get a whole Shwack of feedback and string noise. I can't even play a good vibrato without unleashing a torrent of noise with that setting. The distortion is definately brutal. It can be a smooth tube growl or a raw solid-state bark. I mostly use the rec setting for low end rythms and the k-stein for a bright lead tone, but the distortion is definately this amp's strong point. // 8
Reliability & Durability: I have used this for about 6 months, toting it back and forth between school and my house, I've dropped it once or twice, and it still works okay. Sometimes it wont turn on, or it just flashes green, but I just reboot it and it works fine. It has never crapped out on me while I'm playing, so I would definately use it on a gig. I've only ever gotten the volume meter to about 9/13 and then the bass rattles a lot. I'm not sure if this is because I dropped it or If a 15W wasn't meant to be that loud without consequence. // 7
Impression: If you play anything from rock to metal, this amp definately kicks ass. I have been playing for about 2 years. The other gear I own consists of my dad's Gibson L6S, an old 1970somethin' Traynor and a Peavey blazer. I tried this out in the store, So I knew what I was getting into the moment I played it. If it were stolen, I would be choked, but I would definately buy another one. Maybe a 30W version with the stompbox effects. I love that it has such metal versatility, from harsh mid death tones to scooped thrashyness to classic crunch. I don't hate anything about this amp. It was a kind of hard to get a decent clean tone, but you can just save it. It may have benefited from a foot Switch, so you don't have to bend over and hit buttons on it all the time. This is a great amp. And I'm not just saying that. I also tried a Line 6 Spider that they had there but it didn't have nearly as many options. The spider may have more versatility (I mean across genres- blues, country, rock, metal), but I would still pick the Vypyr anyday. Overall, if you like to shred, this is one of the best practice amps for it. I would definately recommend this amp! // 8

Purchased from: Guitar Academy
Features: Made in 2008, this amp is great for anyone Who likes to mess around with great distortion and 11 different effects. It has 4 channels and a headphone jack. I generally play heavier stuff but I like to Switch it up every once in a while. You will like this amp if you want a wide range of distortion. The amp can get a little confusing at first with all the controls and effects, but once you get the hang of it you will be pleased. I just use this amp to practice, and it's a fun little sound system. // 8
Sound: This amp suits my rock style, I usally play stuff like ACDC and Nickelback. I'm am using my Washburn OX with it and it makes my crappy guitar sound great. It can get a little noisy on some certain effects, and you could probably get better sounding effects if you got them seperate rather than built in. Effects like tremolo arn't quite strong enough if your not playing really quiet. But none the less, you still get what you pay for.Some of my favorite effects include tremolo, reverse, and octaver. The clean channel is very limited to the sound and I was a little disappointed. I also couldn't figure out why I kept getting distorting on the clean channel and I found out that you need to change the effects and the gains to a certain setting and it's annoying. // 7
Reliability & Durability: I would probably use this for a gig. I would fear because mine is only 15 watts it might not be powerful enough, but a larger version would work great for a gig. This amp works fine, never had a problem with it, I would use it without a back-up. I wouldn't use the effects on it though because I would fear they wouldn't all sound the greatest, but otherwise, I would. // 8
Impression: As I said before; fits my music style great. I have been playing about a year and a half and this amp came at a perfect time for me cause I really needed to upgrade from my starter amp. If it was lost or stolen I would definatly replace it. I wish I would have asked them to show me how to work it. My advice: Get them to show you how to work all the settings, it can be quite the pain in the a$$ if you don't know what you're doing. My favorite part of the amp is the effects, no contest. // 7

Purchased from: Stanford Music
Features: A solid state modelling amp with 12 amp settings, each can be clean and overdriven. Amp also features 11 rack effects, delay and reverb, an on-board tuner, tap temp and master volume. Also an auxiliary input and an input for headphones or record out. Amp also has 12 presets channels. Now if there was some sort of way to Switch between the channels quickly like a foot pedal (mine is a 15 watt so the Sanpera II cannot be used on it), that would be great. I'd also like to point out that the Reverse effect is useless.
It's also quite a loud amplifier, mainly playing at home, I can't crank it up over 1 (out of 13) just because it being so loud. // 8
Sound: I'm using a Squier Bullet Start and quite frankly, even this low end guitar sounds great. I mostly play metal, rock, sometimes jazz and blues. The clean sound nice and don't even let me get started on the distortion! I can get any sort of sound imaginable out of this (well, almost). Tried a more expensive Ibanez with it and my god did it sound wonderful. // 10
Reliability & Durability: I'd wouldn't actually want to gig with it for one simple error: after it's been turned off, it cannot be turned on for another 15 minutes. I have not idea what the problem might be. Otherwise there seem to be no problems with it, had accidentally knocked it into a wall and it stayed scratchless. // 5
Impression: This is a perfect amplifier for any sort of music style, perfect for a beginner and even for an advanced player. If it were to be stolen, I would maybe buy the 30 watt so I could use the foot pedal, but other than that, I would buy an amp out of the series again. I compared this to a Line6 Spider IV and the Spider sounded crap compared to this. Money well spent! // 10

Purchased from: Trade
Features: I believe this amp was made sometime in 2008 or 2009. The amp is only 15 watts so I use it as a bedroom practice amp. Has 12 channels each able to store an amp emulation, eq settings, an effect of your choice, and reverb (or none). Has an emulated headphone jack/recording out. Never use it so I can't comment on the quality. The amp can pretty much do anything moderately well if you spend the time to find the right settings for your particular need. Pretty darn good solid state amp due to the versatility. I give it a nine for features simply because it can't run multiple effects at once unless one of those effects is reverb. // 9
Sound: I play though this thing with an array of different guitars. It will suit any musical style if paired with the right guitar and dialed in to the right settings. Through the speaker you can hear a tiny amount of noise. Can't tell if it's radio interference or what it is. You literally have to put your head to the speaker to hear it though. Not a big deal. It's solid state so it runs the cleans clean and the distortion is consistent throughout volume selection. Doesn't sweeten up as the volume increases like a tube amplifier. If the distortions on the emulated amps didn't sound a little harsh and sterile I would give it a better score. Also the effects are fun to play with but some of them are useless to me. The octavizer and the pitch shifter are fun but have no real use to most guitar players. Across the board the effects sound good nonetheless. I give it an eight. // 8
Reliability & Durability: Its very light and the grill is prone to being dented and stretched by the smallest amount of pressure, but other than that it is well built. The pots don't come loose or anything and it has never failed on me. Pretty solid amp. Serves it's purpose as I don't foresee ever using it at a gig. I give it a nine. // 9
Impression: I wish the emulated amp's distortion settings had more detail than just differences in base EQ. If you tried you could use the EQ on the amplifier to make two different amps sound exactly the same. Wish I could run more than one effect at a time without the second effect having to be reverb. If it were lost or stolen I might buy a new one but I would consider a Roland Cube first. I love it's versatility though and that is what is most important to me in a practice amp. It should be able to do everything pretty well and it does. It's a great amp regardless of the few small problems I have with it. Definately one of the best solid-state amps you can buy. It gets a 9 overall. // 9

Features: This review is of the Peavey Vypyr 100 watt. It is a solid state amp. I play mostly metal myself, but this amp is DEVASTATING enough to play the heaviest of deathcore (and yes, death metal is well played too for you purists out there). It has the same stomboxes and rack effects as the 75. It includes the USB out, and the two jacks. One is for headphones (iPod headphones or other aux headphones fit). Each amp has two channels, and the amps are divided on either side. The left side has the high gain models (Krankenstein, Diezel, 6505, JSX, XXX) and the right said has the lighter amps like Plexi, Bad Cat, Brit, Twin Reverb etc. I am not familiar with the amps to the right side so I can't give you the original names of them all. The high gain amp models feature a green location for a lighter, crunchy type tone, and when you change the channel to red, it kicks it in to even higher gain. I use this amp for band practice, gigging, and bedroom use. It is well suited for both. There is more than enough power to do whatever you want with this piece of machinery.
There are lots of effects that I do not use, but there are plenty that are really good. The XR Wild, which I'm assuming is MXR Wylde sounds really good, and adds a nasally tone like Zakk's rig. There's a tube screamer which gives a bit of a boost to your overall sound, and an X Boost which just sends it into DESTROY mode. I could do without all the effects I guess.
I give the features an 8 out of 10 because while there are plenty of effects, many of them are not needed. Like I said, three or four of them are great though. // 8
Sound: Currently I'm playing through a Dean ML X, and it's just got stock hums in it. I plan on getting a better ML soon so it will probably sound even better through it. Like I said, I play mostly metal, but I have used the other ones to get great, buttery blues tones.
The 100 watt is solid state. And while we're on that topic, enough is enough with the solid state vs. tube argument. Look, it's obvious that tubes have a warmer, more organic sound, but DO NOT let that sway you. This amp sounds phenomenal. You will have no trouble covering drums, and I guarantee this would hang with the higher-end amps. The tone's of the two might be different (SS compared to Tube), but as far as volume goes, I can't see that you would ever need to get a higher wattage. This would most definitely get you through a medium sized club gig.
You can get some feedback if you're playing pretty close to the amp, but that is typical of alot of amps so no big deal there. It's not producing any hum for me, even at the higher volumes.
As far as general sound goes, in my house, I'm scared to crank it past like 4. It shakes the walls.
I would be willing to say that the clean channels do get distorted due to the Blue Maverick speakers in it (the 100w is a 2x12, btw), but I don't use those at that volume so I don't care.
DISTORTION.. what you've all been waiting for... Look no further for ANY amp in this price range. This will have to blown away. The Rectifier setting on the red channel will have you feeling like you've taken a hammer to the back of your skull. It is EXTREMELY HEAVY. The Krankenstein model on the red channel is so smooth, and it sounds great with the mids scooped. All of the other models are just as good. The 6505 model probably doesn't sound too much like it's real life counterpart, but that was expected. With that being said, that model still sounds really good.
For any metal player looking for the best possible amp that isn't tube, this is it.
The only bad thing about this amp: All models were uh.. modeled at a specific setting on each amp. For instance, the Krankenstein was modeled with the presence at like 7, so that's the sound you get. You can change the low, mid, and high, but that's it. I would like to be able to change the presence of these amps.
I give the Sound area a 9 out of 10 because it has fulfilled my every wish as far as sound goes. The only downside is that the amps were modeled on a specific setting, so you have to work around that. // 8
Reliability & Durability: I haven't used this at a gig yet, but I would. VYPYR's are known for being kind of buggy due to the fact that they are really just a computer. You can update firmware in the amps if you have a USB to MIDI cable to do it with.
It is built Chevy style, like a rock. The knobs do feel light, but the housing feels impenetrable.
My amp came with a 5 year warranty, so I count on this amp to last me awhile.
Im giving this section a 7 out of 10 because I've heard people mention that sometimes they can't even turn it on, but it's built solid so I feel comfortable hauling it around. // 7
Impression: I play heavy metal, and this amp suits my style perfectly. Any heavy sound you can think of can be dialed in on this beast. I'm just now getting into blues and other genres that don't use higher-gain type amps so I can't say for sure that this would be the best amps for those genres, but if you're looking for a high end amp, on a lower-end budget, then get this one.
I've been playing for about 8 years, and I've played metal the whole time. Up until I got this amp I was running a 25w First Act amp, because I didn't realize how important an amp was to your sound. Since I've had this I've wrote things that sound so much better now. Maybe my review is a bit biased since I had that piece of shit amp for so long, but I'm trying to be as honest as possible in my review to help others in my situation.
If it were lost or stolen, this would be the first thing I went back to buy. Maybe I'd look for the Tube 60, but it wasn't available where I was (small town, so I have to work with what I got). The differences with tubes vs. ss isn't enough for me to blindly go get a tube amp so I'm more than satisfied.
My favorite thing about it is the high gain amp models. Crank this baby up to 3, and you're treading waters with Pantera, Metallica, Whitechapel, and dozens of other bands who use amps like that. My least favorite thing is the effects. Other than the XR Wild, the X Boost and the Tube Screamer, most of them are not needed (for me, others might find them useful). I compared this to other amps in the price range and couldn't find anything that even came close. I literally mean there was NOTHING that sounded this good. I tried two or three Marshall MG's, and only one Spider. Not even worth a comparison. Apples to bricks.
The only thing I wish it had was adjustable presence, but that is so minor that I don't care.
I give this amp an 8 out of 10 because it is the best SS amp on the market. Of course the higher end tube amps will have a better tone, but as far as ease of use, outward sound, and tone this amp is incredible. These should be selling for over 500 dollars. // 8

I use it at my house, and it has enough power for that but for no more than practicing. It has 11 editable rack effects. Post gain, pre gain low mid high knobs. Headphone jack. Aux output (good stereo it is). // 8
Sound: I play it with an Epiphone Les Paul Standard with alnico classics and it sounds very good for a 100 dollar amp. It is noisy when you have high level distortion on, and especially if you put on the tubescreamer. The distortions pretty good, not good enough for death metal, but thats okay because I only play anything from acdc to twisted sister. // 7
Reliability & Durability: It is pretty dependable, although sometimes when you turn it on the settings are completely wrong (you can save up to four with the amp. And its not the toughest thing in the world, although if it droped I'm pretty sure it'd be fine. I wouldn't bring it to a gig without a backup. // 6
Impression: Like I said earlier I play anything from acdc to twisted sister. If I lost it I would buy something else (hoping to get a jet city JCA20H Half Stack soon!) I compared it to the Line 6 spider 4 of the same wattage, and compared to that thing, this thing rules. I wish it had more power than 15 watts, and that it was tube instead of solid state. Although if you just need a practice amp and an ipod player, this thing is perfect! // 7

I did have one bad time with were for what ever reason it wouldn't turn on, had to flip Switch to get to come on, don't know if it was just me or not. // 8
Impression: All in all you get what you pay for. For metal and rock, hell anything really, you'd be fine. For a combo I think its one of the best in the price rage. I own other amps, (tubes), and I play them more than this. But it's it perfect for just hagning out and playing. I probably wouldn't replace it if were lost. Its defently better that the Line 6 though. I love the size of it and the punch, but the tone is that great. So you get what you pay for, if your starting out or want somthing cheap and small I'd go with this. // 8

Price paid: £ 90
Purchased from: Byrds music
Features: I got this amp for Christmas last year and it owns! I don't know when it was made, but its amazing, its (as you should know) the new digital modeling amplifier technology from Peavey with 'four times more processing power than the other most advanced digital modeling amps out at the time'. But it keeps its not-so-digital sound due to the analogue way in which its wired.
It has 12 preset amp models (each with a normal channel and a gain boost channel), 12 effects to use (11 really, but the bypass 'effect' counts apparently) plus all the standard controls like treble, mid, and bass. Each effect has two adjustable parameters to it which can be edited by pushing the effects dial, there's also a headphone input/line-out jack, and an auxiliary input.
For a 15 watt, this amp is LOUD it competes with my friends drum kit quite well anyway... They say its meant to out-do the line6 spider series, and its safe to say that Peavey have had great success in that area. // 10
Its hard to say if this amp suits my style or not, considering it has a model for pretty much any style, and if it doesn't, that can be easily fixed with some tweaking of dials. Some say the clean channels are lacking in some respects, and I must agree, they distort at higher volumes quite easily, so its obvious this amp is designed for the younger generation who like it loud and crunchy.
I play anything from punk to metal, and my favorite settings are the k-stein with gain boost or the 6505 with gain boost, these settings are brutal by themselves, but with a bit more tweaking, they get even better!
The only thing I really dislike about it is the fact that it can't go past the halfway mark on the volume without it starting to distort badly, clean or not... // 8
Reliability & Durability: This is a bit controversial, because its almost completely digital, its obviously going to be more fragile, (remember, there's a small computer inside it!) but its still pretty sturdy, mines only fallen over once so far, and it still works fine, but it doesn't seem like the kind of amp that will be able to take a big beating.
I probably wouldn't use it at a gig due to its size, but if it were larger, (or I had it micked) I would definitely depend on it without a backup. // 9
Impression: I play mostly metal, but this amp would be a good match for anyone who's into music with loud distorted guitar parts.
Note: if your buying this amp, either read the manual fully or get the guy your buying it from to give you a demo as all the dials and buttons and flashing lights will confuse the crap outta you at first.
I had the choice of this amp, or a 15 watt line6 spider, this one costed a bit more than the line6, but had so much more on it, and sounded a hell of a lot better, so I'm happy with my decision. // 9

Price paid: $ 100
Purchased from: Sam Ash
Features: Wow. Where to start? Let me just say I was using a Marshall MG10CD for 2 years with a DigiTech RP50 before buying this amp. For $30 more, this amp blows the MG10CD out of the water.
The Vypyr comes with 12 amp presets, each one having a clean and distorted channel, 11 effects including a seperate control for delay and reverb making it 13 effects. It also comes with a gain knob (pre-gain) and an equalizer for your lows, mids, and highs, and a preset volume knob (post gain) and a master volume knob. In addition it comes with an auxillary input and a 3.35mm(1/8") headphone/recording input and storage for up to 12 of your own custom presets.
The only thing I wish it had was a USB input for easier recording. Also, for a 15 watt amp, this thing is LOUD. But not a problem as seeing as you can pretty much keep it at very low volumes by adjusting the post-gain levels or playing with headphones/earbuds.
It also has a cool but cheesy Christmas light show going on on the front panel if you turn it on without your guitar plugged in. // 10
Sound: So far I've played this amp through my Ibanez RG321MH with 2 humbuckers and I'm loving it. I play several different styles, mainly metal and it suits metal quite well.
The amp shakes my floor even at low volumes. It has powerful bass and I find the need to adjust the settings of most of the distorted channel presets. I dare not turn the master volume up to 2 for fear of my head exploding.
Overall the distortions are great. Obviously you can't expect tube quality sounds from a 15 watt modeling amp but for it's price it's one hell of an amp. I find the reverb and delay effects quite nice. However it seems every setting on the distorted models has some level of delay and reverb put in so it's a bit of a pain to have to turn it down or off everytime I Switch models unless I save it as a preset.
I've tried this amp also with my DigiTech RP50 (effects pedal) and the quality of pedal sounds a lot nicer on this amp than my Marshall MG. // 8
Reliability & Durability: As a practice amp I'm sure this thing will last me quite a while. I've only had it for one day before writing this review. The speaker is completely exposed in the back unlike my Marshall MG. I'm gonna give it a 7 in the reliability & durability area since I've only had it for 2 days. // 7
Impression: This is a great amp for practicing in your bedroom and for beginners. It destroys my Marshall MG. I recommend this amp to anyone who is looking for something with hi-gain tones without having to dish out a lot of cash. It's got a lot of nice sounding amp models and effects and the ability to adujts these effects will keep you entertained. Being able to save up to 12 of your own presets is a big plus.
One of my favorite features is the 3.35mm headphone input. My Marshall had a 1/4" headphone jack so being able to use your standard headphones or earbuds means now I can play all night but I'm sure most modern amps have this feature as standard. // 8

Price paid: $ 129.95
Purchased from: Mundt Music
Features: This amp is a very new model. I was skeptical at first, but when I got it home, WOW! This little amp does everything you can imagine. From soft country to the heaviest metal. It has more settings and channels than I can remember. The only thing I would recommend is to get the 30watt or bigger so you can get the pedal board made for it and run loops and change channels without stopping. A few models have the tubes but all in all this little 15 watt amp is a awesome at home practice amp. Great for simple recording to practice licks with. Highly recommend... // 9
Sound: I have played a Gibson SG to my little cheap peice of crap. Everything I have hooked to it has sounded great. I play several styles of musiic and it covers it all. Great sound from that little speaker. True Peavey sound. The only problem as far as sound goes is when you have a cellphone on top it does ring through the speaker by interfearance. That could be a good thing.. Lol // 8
Reliability & Durability: It is built like any other practice amp. I would not gig or take to a band practice but to sit at home for those inbetween practices. It works just fine.It gets a 5 ( it is a practice amp, not very sturdy.) When I first got it it did rattle when I turned it past 6 but all that was was a few loose screws holing the logo.. Few tuens of a screw driver and wa-la perfect. // 5
Impression: I would recommend this to anyone Who needs it all but don't want to buy it all this amp Litteraly has everything built in. I checked it side by side to the ZRoland Cube and the cube was a little louder but this has alot better effect and they are analog so it is a real sound. I have been playing for 18 years and this little guy is way past due. I have plans on buying the big brother for gigs and show. Check it out you won't be let down. // 9

Price paid: $ 120
Purchased from: Ziegler's Music, Baton Rouge
Features: This review is for the Peavey Vypyr 15, the lowest priced version of the Vypyr lineup. 15 watts of solid state power through an 8" driver. Not going to repeat info from previous reviews... features, specs, etc... there's plenty available already. So I'll focus on what it is about this lil' amp that I personally like.
First... the "price-to-sound" ratio is excellent, this lil' sucker packs enough amp models to satisfy most guitarist. That's especially true considering this is considered a practice amp. I've found about 4-5 amp models that I really like and find useful, the rest are just a bonus.
Have yet to try the headphone/record jack, so can't support the claim that the output simulates a real cabinet. Instead I close mic it with good results. It's a fairly clean amp with decent tone for a small driver and cab combo.
I just wish they would have given this model the option to support the pedals/switches they offer for the other Vypyrs, it's a pain to find the saved sound you desire with the tiny buttons and awkward labeling. // 8
Sound: I am currently using a MusicMan SUB with dual humbuckers, between the guitar and this amp sometimes there are too many choices for tone/sound. The clean versions of the Deluxe and Tweed amps are great, not too much coloration and an accurate reproduction of those classics. The other "high gain" amps in clean or over-Drive are also faithful recreations, even down to the amp noise bed... Humming away like a warmed up Plexi. This amp has plenty of power for my uses... Practice and recording, and way more distortion than I'd ever need. // 9
Reliability & Durability: It's solid state and it's a Peavey... Personally I've never had any problems with any of their products. So for me just based on the brand I'd expect this lil' amp to continue crankin' for many years to come. // 10
Impression: I play many different types/styles of music and by itself this amp does the job admirably. What even more sounds/tones, just plug in your favorite pedal(s)/stompbox(es). Like the amp models, some of the effects are quit useful... While others are just novelty. I was sold when I heard the backwards effect in the store, but it's really not too useful for me. I don't think the tuner is very accurate, I get better results with other tuners or my own ears. The "idiot lights" are fun, but they are also useful in seeing your settings at a glance. Not quit sure about the Post Gain control, even the guys at The Music store couldn't explain that one. Overall a solid amp, reasonable price and good tone... Just wish I would have gotten one of the larger models for the option of foot pedals/switches and the USB output. // 9

Price paid: € 119
Purchased from: Guitar Center
Features: It is a very versatile solid state modelling amp, it can do pretty many sounds, but it's more designed for metal-sounds. It has got 24 amp models (7 clean-, 5 crunch- and 12 Drive-models), 11 effects (Chorus, Flanger, Tremolo, Phaser, Pitch Shifter, Octaver, EnvFilter, TubeScreamer, Rotary Speaker, Slap Back, Reverse) each with 2 editable parameters + Delay (with tap tempo button) and Reverb. It has an EQ with low, mid, high, pre and post gain and a master volume knob. You can save up to 12 settings. It is loud enough and the distortion is brutal enough for what I play (Metallica, Slayer, AC/DC, Guns N' Roses, ZZ Top, RATM ...). I only use it for practising (also it's my first and only amp at the moment). I miss the additional effects which are only available on the 30W and higher versions and the Pantera footswitch compatibility. So I can't really use the effects and can't Switch between the amp-models dynamically. // 7
Sound: I am using an Epiphone SG Special at the moment, which is a very cheao guitar. The sound of the Vypyr doesn't always fit my style as it has too much distortion, and if you turn down the gain it sounds choked. The volume can also be a problem on the distorted amp models: On very low volumes it doesn't sound good and if it's cranked up, the high frequences sound terrible. It is generally really loud, you just have to set the volume to 2-3 for practising in a room. Another problem is the EQ. Some amp models like the 6250 or Rec are too bassy in my opinion. I just can't get a clear tone out of them, if I don't turn up the highs fully, and then I get problems with some terrible high sounds. Also the lower-gain distortion and crunch models sound choked and don't have enough sustain. So I don't even use most of the channels. The clean sounds are ok and don't distort on the volumes I use.
But a big problem is that the amp begins to rattle if I play palm mutings and deeper tones on the low E and A string on high gain, much bass in the EQ and higher volumes. This really messes up the sound, most of all the cleans. // 6
Reliability & Durability: Its reliable and never broke down in the 6 months I have been using it. I wouldn't use it for gigs though due to its sounds and the lack of a footswitch. The problems are that it's rattling and that the panel is wacky and I haven't found a way to fix those 2 problems. // 8
Impression: I got this amp when I had not much knowledge about guitars and amps and was blinded by the big amount of amp-models and effects which I only play around with. I wish I would have tried out more amps before I bought this. It doesn't fit my style well, as the most songs I play are from guitarists Who use Marshalls. I wouldn't buy it again if it broke or got lost/stolen, I would save up money for a tube amp. There's not much I love about this amp, but it's the only amp I have at the moment (besides a Marshall MS-2). The only amps I compared it with were the Line 6 Spider III which some of my friends own. I nearly bought the Spider, but I think I did better with the Vypyr.
I wish it had better lower and mid-gain amp models, compatibility with a footswitch, more useful effects like Wah and no rattling. Anyways it's a cheap amp and you get what you pay for. // 7
alot of people thought the line 6 was the ultimate option for tone? WHAT?!?! i dont think anybody thinks that to be honest.
+1 i just craped my pants when i read this, i really think that any digital amp will never get the same tone as a real tube amp. peavey XXX;
marshal jcm 800; now those are the ultimate option!
The settings for those amps are on this amplifier though and they do sound pretty legit. I was just never really into tube amps as much partially because they are expensive and you can't play a bass through one without blowing a tube (so my dumbass friend found out with his 1500 dollar Marshall head!) My needs were better suited by digital. Tube "warmth" just hasn't been a required element in my music and for those of you I know will say something like this, I do not sound like schitt.

Peavey 6505+ or the 5150, can't leave those off the list...
I bought this amp new from Musician's Friend just a tad over two weeks ago. I shipped the Vypyr back today and purchased a Vox AD30VT from a local shop as my new practice/recording amp yesterday.
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.
I've got a Les Paul Custom LE Silverburst and it sounds like pure awesomeness through this amp!!! Just through the range of sounds I can go from Ateryu's "Ex's and Oh's" and Dead Poetic's "New Medicines," to Daughtry's "What I Want," "There And Back Again" and Incubus "Drive!" I can even completely replicate the delay on Bullet For My Valentine's "Tears Don't Fall!" It's true the only thing I don't like is the lack of a switching pedal, but this amp is all I need in practice or live!!
I've been playing for a year and a half and I have just ordered an Epiphone LP-100. I need an amp and I have looked at:
-Roland Micro Cube 4W
-Roland Cube 15X
-Line6 Spider III 15W
-Peavey Vypyr 15W
-Marshall MG15DFX

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.
i ordered the 30w off of ebay yesterday and according to all of you studs listed above (with the exception of Big Boy J.J.G.), the experience will be like sliding down a rainbow with nothing but skittles of all different colors going in all seperate directions propelling you into a pool of marshmalloes.
i cant wait!!!!!
I bought a Vypyr 100.
I am returning it. It's ok at best.
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 got the Vypyr 120 watt tube combo last week and I ordered the Sanpera II footswitch the other day. I think this is a great amp but I should have got the 60w cause I haven't turned it past 4.....haha....the amp isn't that great without the footswitch so whatever one you get, buy the sanpera II.
i have the 30w and it is GREAT!!! i have played a couple of shows, but only one big one. for that one, i could have just turned the volume up to a little past 1 and i could have been all set with it. when we sound checked with it, my friend said he could hear it loud and clear in the balcony. the reason why your's doesn't work when you turn it on is because it has to warm up. the same happens to mine. just take your cable out of the amp for a minute or two and it will be fine when you put it back in. i'm gonna get the pedal for it soon soo...

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.
NOTE: you won't like this amp and feel that you've wasted your money if you need this amp for gigs, because you can't get the sanpera footswitch for this amp, so to turn effects on/off, pick amps or anything, you do that by your hands. hence, you can't use those effects for gigs, ( you won't go and swith things on live)..so you'd go "heck, i need to buy all sorts of pedals).

my vypr sucks and ive only had it for like 6 months i have to turn it on and off several times to get it to work also while playing some of the digital effects kick off and it will just crackle while not even being played very disappointed
I just picked up a vypyr 15 last Friday. It feels like you can push the front panel in. Built like shit. Had to return the first one cuz it was complete crap and the cab rattled on 1 with the bass all the way down.
The replacement works better but who knows for how long. Shitload of features though and fun as hell to play on. Just make sure you buy the warranty people!!
Yeah but not needed, the onboard distortions are leathal. I would recommend this amp for those who play metal, and dabble in clean sounds. coz it absolutely kicks ass playing metal, it managed clean sounds fairly well, but trying to get a decent rocky GnR tone out of it is like hell! Metal and Clean stuff. and bare in mind before you buy that they are REALLY f**king loud! i've only gotthe 15 model and it can be heard all around my meduim/large house on 1. 2 is just ridiculous and 3 seems terrifying at the moment

Do you want a professional sounding practice amp with both clear and wicked distortion? 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!
If I knew the vypyr series was out I wouldn't have replaced my spider III when it died.
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
i just sold my line 6 spider III and replaced it with this, and boy am i glad i did. this is so much better, the fact is has analog distortion makes it sound 5x better already, the clean channel doest match that of the vox vt15, but its still better than the spider. but the best thing about this amp is the amount of options and the versatility, yeh its best for metal but can do some great high gain disortion and punchy sounds for things like punk rock or even pop punk.
alot of people thought the line 6 was the ultimate option for tone? WHAT?!?! i dont think anybody thinks that to be honest.
The line 6 is a lot better. It may not have as many effects and all that but it is the best amp ive played(well the 150) so anybody should go and get the spider iii
I just put my 15 watter on volume 13 the other day, It wasn't brutal, but it got really muddy. I'm a bad judge of volume though because I've cranked a twin reverb just to hear what it would sound like and wasn't entirely impressed by the volume.

I need a better amp. its between this and a behringer v15. i have a boss gt-3 for effects, so its just distortions and amp modeling that im looking for. this cost $40 more than the v15. i think this would be better, but i need another opinion. id like to get something close to a tube overdrive sound (sweet child o mine) or kind of heavy (crazy train) sound. wich amp would do that the best?
Been trying to get one of these but there are only 2 stores that carry it in stock with one of them asking $30 more than retail for a used model and the other that sells them new at retail cant keep them in stock for more than a few days.
Top review: not only did the guy who reviewed it give it 10/10, but he also wrote "A lot of people thought Line 6 was the ultimate option for tone". Credibility = 0.
Vypyr is a regrettable surrender of Peavey to the wave of cheap Chinese-made modelling amps, with useless DSP effects and equally useless emulated famous amps sounds. If used manually, it is as bad as a genuine Chinese no-name, while fully using its digital modeling means sounding like a Communist kindergarten toy. What a disappointment! What a crap!
I wouldnt recommend any Peavey Viper Models
I own the Vypyr tube 120
I would of Brought it back But since I got a really good deal on it I will keep it
But if your looking Look for something else
i have this same amp and i was wondering...can i use distorsion pedal or some multi fx pedals like behringer fx600 or some boss pedal cuz i can go to the amp at the midle of song to change from dirty to clean or clean to dirty
Vypyrs are Total Crap. I had the Tube 120 I got 300 bucks of list Brand new from a store that basically sells to Bands Not kids
Fitst issue. The extras. The Librarian patch program never got Developed it doesnt work. Looks like a spread sheet.
Studio Quaility USB? HAHAHAHAHA You get Cricket sounds
Most people who bought it with the Free Revalver software Never received it. Customer service sucks
Noise Gate is not adjustable. And yes Unless you drop another 180 for the sanpera II Footpedal The effects are useless. Plus half the effects you would never use. They are Just Ugly sounding gimmicks
My wife got me this amp for Christmas because I wanted a smaller amp to practice in our house with. So far I'm quite satisfied with it. I play mostly sludge/stoner metal, and I can get a decent tone from this little bastard. Pretty loud too, it would hold up really well with a drummer during practice sessions.
hey guys, look, i live in argentina and i''ll be in miami for a couple of weeks now, i wanted to get this amp since it costs double here.... do you think i can take this as carry on luggage? or is it too big?
sorry for bad english
