Good sound, I like it over the Line 6 modeling amps but it seems the build quality is not the best (it feels cheap when you turn knobs...).
Just go to a store and play some modeling amps by diffrent companies and you'll see which one you like best! --- Why modeling again? Why not get a REAL amp?^^ --------------------  Gear: - Jackson USA Select KV2 King V with EMG 81/85 - Gibson Les Paul Custom Arctic White with EMG 81/85 - Ibanez Rg 8527 J Custom 7-String with DiMarzio Evolution and Air Norton - Peavey 6505+ head with Marshall 1960AV 4x12 cab - Peavey Vypyr 30 Practice Amp - Dunlop Crybaby From Hell, Maxon OD808, Boss TU-2, MXR CarbonCopy, ISP Decimator, MXR Custom Audio Electronics Booster |

If you are into modeling amps this one is a great choice and sounds very good!
 You should go to the store and try it out... -------------------- Need to ask about anything GMC related? Send me a pm

Why not get a REAL amp?^^ I like it over Line 6 too...it sounds more real.. (in videos, i didnt test it). A real amp costs too much here... the peavey vypyr 75w costs around 200 dollars in the USA i think.. here costs 626 dollars... A cheap head like the Valveking 100 costs 900 dollars aprox... so, its very difficult to get good things here... -------------------- |

This is a very good amp, and 75W is a very nice figure for small to medium venues. Nice modeling amp.

got it last year. it's a killer when you like modelling amps.
tried the line6 spider before, but the vypyr has definitely a better sound (esp. the 6505 sim for metal  ).btw Zakk is right - the knobs feel cheap - but they work  you should consider to get the sanperaII-pedal! two weeks ago i bought the vypyr 120 tube head.. man that rocks, too. and i can also use the sanpera with that one. .. and the knob-quality is better

Didn't know there are Vypyr all tube heads. How do they behave?

Vypyr amp concept is really good and Peavey is cool. They used to make awesome bass amps (and they still do)... -------------------- Need to ask about anything GMC related? Send me a pm

They are really amazing, especially to explain to the students the differences between different FXs and amps, using the same combo. I've also used the 35W (with a SM57 mic) to play a couple of live shows with the Sanpera. The only problem I noticed is a small delay (=silence) while changing patches but I know there's an upgrade from Peavey which fix this. -------------------- ::: Main Gear ::: Guitars: Washburn N4 Vintage | Washburn N2 | Washburn WI67Pro | Washburn WG-587 | Washburn EA20B Amps: Laney GH50L (head) | Laney GS410 & GS212IE (cabinets) | Rocktron PROGAP Ultra (rack preamp) | Rocktron Velocity 150 (power amp) | Marshall VS230 (combo) FXs: Rocktron Intellifex + custom pedalboard (check my video demo) Other: Shredneck | Intellitouch PT10 tuner Picks: Esseti Picks Software & Recording Gear: Cubase 4 | Overloud TH1 | Mackie Onyx 400F | EZdrummer | Korg Pandora PX4D ------------------------------------------------------- myspace.com/jerryarcidiacono Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

Hey Jerry, do you have the chance to compare the Vypyr with some Line 6´s Pods? The Peavey seems to be more real than the Pods... -------------------- |

I can't easily compare these devices unfortunately, I never had Line6 Pods. The only thing I can add here is that on the last years I've seen (and heard!) a overall great improvement from different brands on amp modeling. Real amps are still used on big music productions for recordings, at least it seems so

I heard about this problem - and upgrading the firmware of a vypyr amp is tricky. One should consider to install it by an official peavey dealer, because 1. you need a special usb/midi cable and 2. when browsing the peavey forum you read about a few problems when upgrading by yourself... Fortunately they offer a 5year guarantee for this series
