Wow

Great amp for the money, a lot of fun to play with!

Great little practice amp.

Many options on this amp. pre-sets are very helpful. Pleanty of punch for small rooms and for practice. Can spend hours trying different sounds.

AWESOME AMP FOR PRICE!!!!

Dude, this amp is badness for just $100. BUY ONE or TWO!!!!

What's not to like

Think about what $100 bought 15 years ago and then check out this amp! Unreal for the money, simply unreal. Great clean and great dirty tones, great effects. I'm particularly impressed that even the tone controls are modeled from the original! Good thinking on that one Peavey!

1 C-note ticket to dreamland

I'v been playing guit nearly every day for 38 years. Play whatever I'm feeling at the time. Been thru a lotta gear. This amp is simply the most fun you will ever have, especially for the price. There are many many sounds out of this box, sparking new paths of creativity. It's clear sounding, in your face, alive. Not muffled, not overprocessed, not squeezed, not distant. Like old players, I'm a guitar-cord-amp guy, using the amp's tube distortion. Been thru the floor effects boxes thang, fun but a mess of cords, batteries and noise. This amp allows to experiment with all those boxes, and a bunch of different amps, with a twist of a knob, quickly and no mess. Wish they had this kinda thing when I was starting off. Still, if you always have to depend on effects to play, that's a path that grows tiresome. Have had this puppy over 6 months now, and it has been reliable. Giv er a try, I say.

Very Impressive

I have been playing for a long time and I was looking for a small amp suitable for Practice. I went to Guitar Center (sorry) and they tried to sell me a Line 6 without even trying anything else, so I went to one of my other local Music Stores and tried the Vypyr 15. It is unbelievable! The Line 6 doesn't even come close. It is plenty loud for a 15 watt amp. I think I will sell my Crate that I use as a backup and buy a Vypyr 75. Peavey has really outdone itself.

Well worth the money

I was mad impressed by the sound of this amp. I'm more partial to acoustics (Love my Martin D-15) but I got one of them Chinese "Fender" electrics just to noodle around with. As expected it sounded like Sh*t, but then a buddy let me try his effects gizmo and the thing actually sounded kind of bearable then. I thought about getting one, but then I saw this amp going for around the same price and decided to check it out and man was I glad I did. The lows, mids, and highs are all crystal clear and the modeling controls are killer. Now I'm not gonna say my $100 Chinese guitar sounds like a strat thru it...but it sounded far better than I ever thought it could. I would definitely recommend it for someone who just plays at home or in the garage and dosen't want to invest a fortune in equipment.

Outstanding

I had quit playing my guitars after a short time with having Peavey 158 rage amp. Not that I didn't like playing but got tired of it not sounding like the music I was listening too. But with amp it is like a breath of fresh air. Has alot of different tube sounds that, making it feel like your playing with your favorite bands. For a beginner, this amp alone has inspired me to play more!!!

Awesome

I purchased the Vypyr 15 today and spent 2 hours with it. I have a Washburn tabu 300 (best)and a Dean Vendetta xmt guitar with a cheap 10 watt amp/ 6inch speaker. With my old amp I could get close to the tone I wanted but not dead on (AC/DC, Rush, etc). When I used the Vypyr I could not beleave how far off I was! With the hot plxi amp setting and the bypass effect it is dead on for AC/DC and Rush. I read the manual to find out how to turn down the default reverb and delay. I used many amp settings and could not believe the sounds and tone, from rock to heavey metal it seemed flawless. The 8 inch speaker is really great with table rattleing bass! It's so loud I can't get the volume past 5 in the house, sounds great with no speaker rattle/flub noises.

Great Starter Amp

As a beginning player, I really looked around for amps that 1) fit my budget, and 2) would help create the "sound" I wanted to play.

After much debate, I decided on the Vypyr 15. Small so that it would fit my budget and practice room, it puts out a great sound and can easily fill a large room. It has a great many amp models and effects so that you can customize to pretty much fit into any playing style. In the short time I've had it, I find that many of the settings I don't really use. While initially I didn't think I would use them, I realize that I've come to depend on the SAVE buttons (a total of twelve settings can be saved) when I want to play a certain style. I don't spend time fine tuning in; I just push that button and shred (at least try to).

The speaker gives a clean sound (relative to the output); it's spot on. I'm sure that there are many great tube amps out there, but for me and other beginners, I would recommend giving this one a look. The ease of use, the variety of sounds, and the price can't be beat for a beginner.

Great amp for the money!!

I got this for my daughter for her birthday. She loves it I researched it for a while I was leaning towards others til I found this watched the side by side demos on youtube.If you want to check out products there are many demos on there. They did a side by side with the line 6 and the vypyr was clearly better sounding. The crunch is crunchy. when you hit by pass you still get some delay I havent figured that out but it still sounds good. You want bang for the buck this is the amp.

Poor sound

I was looking for a nice little combo amp with some cool amp models and special effects for my kid. It has tons of tones and options AND LIGHTS. Hundreds of lights. Literally. The clean channels were ok sounding. The distorted and overdrive models, although fairly acurate, sounded muddy and noisy. The speaker, I fear, is the culprit. It's terrible sounding. If you wanted to invest a little more money for a better speaker, you might have a good little amp. I sent the amp back.
