Heart of the Vypyr
Vypyr amplifiers are based on powerful 32-bit, floating-point SHARC processors that enable highly detailed, accurate modeling as well as vastly enhanced flexibility and features. The Vypyr amps also give you authentic tube tone, thanks to a real tube power section driven by 6L6 tubes. You get the best of the digital and analog worlds with these great amps!

When used with the optional Peavey Sanpera™ foot controller, the possibilities further expand from 12 in-amp presets to 400 programmable presets, with an on-board looper and more.

Built-in Interface
The VYPYR also acts as its own computer audio interface, with a built-in studio-quality USB 2.0 output on most models that is recognized by computers as an audio device. The entire six-model VYPYR Series features the easy-to-use Peavey WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) interface.

Hi Gain Models fantastic

by from Mass
June 6, 2011
Music Background: 38 years/occasional gig/obsessed gear head and player
This is now 2011. I have 3 Vypers. One tube.
I am now at version 1.7 for my firmware. I mostly play High Gain.
Mostly the Rectifier Model. The gentleman is right. The cleans are fantasti... read more [+]c and the ability to mold your sound is endless. I made my 60watt tube into a head.
I have never been so happy with an amp in my life. The left side of the dial is fantastic. If you don't play high gain then you wouldn't like it. The noise gate issue is addressed and gone. I play almost silent on the rectifier when not playing. I laugh when I hit a chord and people jump. So don't be put off by the other reviewer regarding the gain channels.
I use this amp exclusively now and have been selling off my other amps because the sound, ease of use and flexibility can't be beat.
Mine is a head now. I play a 4 x12 with three Emi Governor's and one Emi Swamp Thang and I would put it against anything. Simply Amazing.
No, I don't work for Peavey and I don't know anyone there either.
For gigging this is now worthy with the updates. You don't know what you are missing. close [-]

VYPYR TUBE 120

Music Background: Semi-Pro more than 40 years
This is a follow-up to my July 2009 review. I have performed the "firmware" down load into my VYPYR. It cleared up most of my issues. This amp has the best tone that I have ever plugged into. And,... read more [+] with all the 'whistles and bells" you'd have to spend four times the price to get anything better.

Peavey Vypyr Tube 120

by Jerry Taylor from Beckley, WV
July 1, 2009
Music Background: Long-time Semi-Pro
I got the amp in early 2009. It's "clean" settings are the best. In fact, I get the best tones from my Am. Deluxe Tele, that I've ever gotten from ANY amp. The "OD" settings are mostly garbage. Ho... read more [+]wever, the amp is very, very versatile, as long as you stay with the clean settings. The "amp" settings - on the left of the dial - are pretty much useless (even in clean). The "bank" and "preset" buttons are extremely difficult to access, located directly under the "stomp box"; "amp"; and "effects" knobs. I wish they were larger and more accessible. The amp is extremely noisy - when not being played. I must back off the Sanparp volume peddle between songs. I hope Peavey comes up with some fixes, and gives them to their customers. I'm considering getting the Vypyr Tube H - to use with my JBL D120 enclosure. Don't get me wrong, this is a GREAT amp and I plan to keep using it, in spite of the negatives. close [-]

My first impression of the Vypyr 120 was when I tried to lift it. That amp was extraordinarily heavy. Naturally, a smile crossed my face because heavy is really good in high quality audio gear, and ve... read more

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
