QuoteHello all,
With NAMM next week, I wanted to give you a heads up on what's going on with the Vypyr Pro.

After NAMM last year, I was inundated with emails and PM's about it, which I kind of expected since it was still a bit of a work in process. I reached out to several of you to get your take on all things modeling amps in general, and got some great responses.

I don't want to steal my own thunder for the show next week, but what I CAN tell you is that the Vypyr Pro is without a doubt the most versatile and adaptable modeling amp Peavey has ever made. As you can expect, it's designed in a way that makes it appealing in a store situation, so that you can call up some great sounding tones quickly. However, delve into it deeper and you open up so much more. We really did push the envelope on what the dual processors would handle!

For years, the modeling amp world has been driven by bullet points and I think the industry realizes that we've kind of taken it to the point of diminishing returns in some ways. I mean, the fact that one modeling amp has 50 models and the next one has 60 doesn't necessarily mean the customer will buy the one with 60, make sense? To that end, what I've really tried to do is solve problems that players face every gig, and every Sunday morning. That said, the numbers are pretty dang impressive, over 100 total models, including 54 amp models alone! The cool thing is that these aren't just models, I spent a lot of time finding a partner that could help us with getting our hands on GREAT amps, not just OK amps. The Bassmn, for instance, is a real 1959 410, just stellar! One of the amps has been on most of the Pearl Jam records. There's a old 60's Supro on there, for spot on Pagey tones. There's just some great stuff in there!!

You asked for more delays, so there's 6. There's 7 reverbs. There 3 noise gates. (!!!!!) You can turn the noise gate OFF. You can make a single coil sound like a humbucker and vice versa. The editor that will be ready when the amp ships is a web app, so it will be fully updated every time you log in. You can move the signal chain around from the front of the amp in 2 seconds. You can have up to 4 amps on at once (but you knew that). You can do an unlimited number of looper overdubs and erase the last one you did if you don't like it. This one I like a LOT, the expression pedals on the Sanpera Pro pedal can be assigned to just about anything in the preset and the range can be defined, up to 3 parameters per pedal! SO, you can make the right pedal adjust the gain on one of the amps, the mid control on one of the amps and the output of a compressor, for an immediate solo boost, not just a volume or gain boost. At the same time you could use the left pedal to control 3 other things!

I'll be doing live demos at NAMM, and I'm sure some of the magazines will post online as well as other folks. When I get back I'll be doing videos here while the demo is nice and fresh in my 47 year old brain. I also think I'll be doing a fair amount of travel in 2015 so hopefully I'll get to meet some of you out in the world this year.

Thanks to dwimmerlaik for reminding me to send this, and thank you to all the forum members here for the input.

More to come....

This system packs a lot of power - first  announced at 2014 Winter NAMM at the Peavey booth, its been 20 months and finally available 
http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/namm-2015-peavey-announces-vypyr-pro-100-amp-and-sanpera-pro-controller-614202








At 2015 Winter NAMM Peavey were demonstrating a new  Peavey Vypyr Pro-100 Amp and Footcontroller that works in concert with the "fully loaded" AT200 DSP so the amp has a USB Audio/MiDI control interface built in and library of presets that showcase the Antares DSP Guitar Modeling. The system is deeper than the press releases reveal.

Peavey Releases the VYPYR® Pro 100 and Sanpera® Pro Footcontroller

New Sanpera Pro includes dedicated foot switches for changing the DSP Guitar Model types / Alt Tuning in the Peavey AT-200 Antares Autotune DSP Guitar



Peavey Electronics®, creators of the revolutionary VYPYR® and VYPYR® VIP series, announces the evolution of the most advanced modeling amplifier on the planet. The VYPYR® Pro 100 continues the tradition of appropriate technology using four stages of exclusive TransTube® analog gain to create the most realistic tube sounding distortion in any modeling amplifier, ever.

By using analog distortion, the VYPYR Pro 100's digital processor has the amazing ability to offer almost limitless combinations of additional stompboxes, "rack" effects, amplifiers and now even instrument models. The result is an overall better tonality.

Because of the advanced dual processor design, the VYPYR Pro 100 can run up to four amplifier models in parallel. Using the amplifier's unique architecture, the VYPYR Pro 100 is capable of designing a variety of signal path combinations. Four module bays, each with their own distinct LCD, can be assigned to an amplifier, effect, or stompbox, or in the first position an instrument model. The modules can be assigned in any order, allowing the user the ability to create the exact rig they desire, even if they desire to run two or up to four amplifiers in parallel.

With up to five parameters to precisely control effects, multiple delay types and advanced features such as MSDI (microphone simulated direct interface) direct output, effects loop, and MIDI control, the professional player can create the rig of their dreams inside a single combo amplifier.

AT-200™ Auto-Tune® guitar integration is a key aspect of the VYPYR Pro 100 design. The MIDI output allows the VYPYR Pro 100 to communicate with Peavey's revolutionary AT-200 guitar in order to change presets inside the guitar with one simple VYPYR Pro 100 button press. (Note: AT-200 integration requires optional AT-200 software upgrade available at www.autotuneforguitar.com)

Recording is a mainstay of the VYPYR Pro 100 design. With the most advanced USB audio system in any VYPYR, the Pro 100 was designed from the beginning for home recording. The VYPYR Pro 100 also features an analog speaker and microphone simulated direct out for recording as well.

With over 500 presets available and more than 100 different models of effects, reverbs, delays and amplifiers, the VYPYR Pro 100 is the most innovative and advanced modeling amplifier on the planet. Designed for the gigging musician by the musicians at Peavey Electronics, it is perhaps the most versatile amp ever created.

The perfect companion for the amplifier, Peavey's updated Sanpera® Pro foot controller unlocks all the power of the VYPYR Pro 100. Utilizing dual expression pedals which can be assigned to the default setting (volume on left, wah on right), and up to three other stomp or effects parameters, the Sanpera Pro foot controller is also range definable!  Plus, the foot controller features a boost switch, tap tempo, a chromatic tuner, and looper controls that allow users to generate multi-track loops.

NAMM 2015: Peavey announces Vypyr Pro 100 amp and Sanpera Pro controller
By Matt Parker (Total Guitar, Guitarist), January 21, 2015Guitars

The modelling amp gets an analogue heart

]NAMM 2015: Rolling off the production line for 2015 is Peavey's latest iteration of its modelling Vypyr modelling amps, the Vypyr Pro 100 combo, plus a complementary bells and whistles foot controller, dubbed the Sanpera Pro.

The new amp incorporates an analogue distortion circuit into the modelling process, which the firm reckons will make for a thoroughly realistic tube emulation. Onboard there are over 100 modelled amps, effects and instruments, which can be split between four modules in almost any combination (though instrument models are always placed in the first module). This clears the way for some fairly outlandish modelling possibilities (four amps, anyone?) and should allow users to make heavy use of the 500 onboard preset slots.


Also on the way, is the Sanpera Pro footcontroller, designed to partner with Vypyr Pro 100, which features two expression pedals and controls for all four of the Vypyr's onboard modules, plus other useful features such as a boost switch and onboard chromatic tuner.

I saw the impressive VYPYR PRO 100 / Sanpera Pro / AT-200
I'm very impressed with the capabilities of this "dream rig for the working musicians". These have arrived in USA - mine will be here next month.

It's obvious Michael Smith has been there / done that and implemented a real world solution which delivers a Maximum Spectrum Guitar System for live performance with the VYPYR PRO 100 / Sanpera Pro / AT-200 combo.

I hope to share my thoughts , workarounds , third party integration from a user perspective.

But I think Peavey hit a home run  - it all comes together here and Hartley hired the right guy for the task in Michael Smith. Great job on the new multipart VYPYR video manual now on YouTube

Vypyr Pro System Videos
https://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=16149.0

Just need a naming contest for this precise rig so Dealers and the public understands what this incredible system delivers.

Frankly I would have dropped the batwings and Vypyr  / Sanpera monikers - too much brand  confusion IMHO - Call any Peavey dealer and he will report "Yes I have Vypyr and Sanpera in stock - only to find its not the "Pro version - which IMHO is completely different animal 



Michael Smith from Peavey presents the Vypyr Pro 100 modeling amp and the Sanpera Pro foot pedal. Four stages of Peavey's patented TransTube technology gives you amazingly realistic distortion characteristics, and there are over 100 amps and effects to create your custom tone. Onboard USB lets you connect directly to a computer for recording, and a speaker-emulated output lets you plug directly into a PA system without sacrificing your tone.

PEAVEY VYPYR PRO 100 AND SANPERA PRO PRESS RELEASE

With stompbox, amplifier, effects, and instrument models plus an array of

2015 Peavey 50th Anniversary Catalog
http://peavey.com/catalog/PeaveyCatalog_2015.pdf

Chumly

I have read that the AT-200 has some teething issues such as the ground lead to the bridge simply being taped on and other construction concerns.  I know that construction concerns are not unheard of with other Chinese guitars let alone with domestic brands, but it would be nice if the AT-200 was up to the standards of the PRS SE line, or if not that then the mid-level Epiphone line.  Well, perhaps it is, but from what I have read of the reviews on Amazon and the like, it does not seem to be quite there yet.  Mind you, the price of the AT-200 is pretty amazing so perhaps this level of criticism is unwarranted.

I wonder if the Vypyr Pro 100 / Sanpera Pro are really needed  to bring out the full potential of the AT-200 in a real-time environment, or if the AT-200 will stand on its own merits to the point that any decent modeling amp with foot controller (or equal modeling  software) would allow much the same performance.

I wonder what the all-in, fully loaded cost is of the Vypyr Pro 100 / Sanpera Pro / AT-200 as it seems to require some sort of MIDI interface (which I gather does not have to be proprietary) plus some sort of cable (which I gather is not included but cheap) plus additional software packs for the AT-200.

I also wonder what Line 6 / Yamaha's response will be to the Vypyr Pro 100 / Sanpera Pro / AT-200 as they are unlikely to roll over and play dead, but you never know as Yamaha excused itself from the guitar modeling world for many years after the DG series.

Finally (and sadly for Peavey as I have always liked them) it seems the company carries an albatross around its neck, as it products are sometimes dismissed as Peavey = Junk whereas companies like Gibson, Fender, Marshall, PRS, et al can make products that may not even be Peavey's equal, but not suffer similarly in the eyes of the consumer.

Here's hoping for the best Peavey!

Chumly,  I  agree on all your points here.

Although what you describe with flaky Ground connections, any good guitar repairman could fix in 15 minutes

And if you read the early reviews of the Peavey AT-200, frankly most felt it was underwhelming - myself included when I tested it at 2013 NAMM show (I prefer Necks with a larger '59 Gibson profile)

Fast forward to late summer 2015 - many things have changed for a system where I can finally "connect the dots" and see what they were trying to achieve all along.

At 2015 Winter NAMM,  I spent nearly an hour with Peavey Product manager Michael Smith going over the complete "Wide Spectrum Guitar Rig  comprised of the Peavey Vypyr Pro 100 + Sanpera Pro  MIDI Footcontroller  + Peavey AT-200 Antares with the optional Antares "Total Complete Bundle upgrade".



http://peavey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=39715


add that Ive been a Luthier  / design engineer for 35 years does give me a leg up for fixing problems on my own.
But I was so impressed on how this Peavey system covers what I need for most of my live band  performance needs , I'm willing to give it a try.

Peavey now has a decent  warranty
http://peavey.com/support/warranty/warrantytext.cfm

The ATG-1 sounds great, but it eats up far too much real estate on the stage. and 99% the same great tones and features of the ATG-1 can be achieved with a "fully loaded"  Peavey AT200.

I recently located a gently used Peavey AT200 with the compete Antares "Complete Pack" software upgrade preinstalled for a great price     
https://transactions.antarestech.com/atgconnect/GuitarProducts.aspx

I can set the guitar up to my standards - or simply remove the Antares DSP hardware and install in a different guitar - particularly if the AT200 Neck is too thin or fret job is too horid or I want my Bigsby. I may assemble a killer Epiphone Wilshire with piezo bridge and Bigsby and AT200 Antares DSP guts along with a Sustainiac and a Tripleplay+RevPad  - as a proof of technology for generating a side income as a high tech guitar system integrator     

Behind the scenes Thomas Nordegg has implemented iPad wireless MIDI control ( using QuiccoSound mi.1 for the Antares internal kit ( which is very similar to the AT-200's DSP guts) for a major new guitar build 
  https://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=13462.msg114444#new



The new Peavey Sanpera Pro Footcontroller has enough things to like for my live perfomance needs in the control layout and enough flexibility for third party MIDI Controller expansion with its MIDi Output port

I can see myself possibly installing a Livid Guitar Wing on the AT200 for further control of the whole system using a DIY box with AT-200B Break out box guts and Raspberry PI USB Host to MIDI box ( or the new Primova   and feed the MIDI CC# message from Guitar wing into the VYPYR Pro.

   
But "live and in person" the Peavey Vypyr Pro 100 impressed me. Of course from an engineering perspective I'll have  to have a look inside and see how they designed the triple LCD displays  - and from a service perspective, with all my gear I like to take lots of internal pics - - just in case something smokes down the road,  I can see what the burnt part used to look like when new .

I realize Peavey has had several quality problems with past versions of the Vypyr, ( just do a google search on "vypyr problem"     

Quotehttps://www.google.com/search?q=vypyr+problem%22&rlz=1C1PRFA_enUS504US505&oq=vypyr+problem%22&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.975j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8

But I did the math, and I'm willing to try this system with my new band that plays a wide variety of musical genres  I absolutely need swift "point and shoot" editing  / manual course correction on the fly mid song, and it needs to setup / teardown fast, and be easily transportable, and sound great.

Back in 2006 I was using a Variax and Vetta Combo + Large FBV - but I had reliability issues and finally got tired of its almost there cold digital sound  - it did not breath well  - I need my rig to approach the sound of my Gretsch 6120 or my genuine 61 Strat into my '64 Vibrolux Reverb     

I still own a Line-6 "Dream Rig" ( Tyler Variax+ HD500X+ DT50- Tube Amp) but its near impossible to manage or edit on the fly at the gig without a laptop, and it shares the same issue I had with my 1970 Fender Dual Showman TFI  = "too f*&^ing loud" 

Since the complete "Peavey Vypyr Pro 100 / Sanpera Pro  / AT-200 " package presents for me an effective  / managable live gig rig with enough things they finally got right for my needs   -
( and after my FireHawk FX disaster leaving a bitter taste in my mouth to consider  sending even more money to Line-6 for the new Helix)

I'm willing to give it a try with this new Peavey rig


One thing is sure  - I have NO artist endorsement contacts, and have NO brand loyalty  - when I see something better come along for my immediate needs I'm willing to try it  - over the years Ive built up a sizable inventory of gear.  I can rattle off the  strengths & weaknesses of most DSP guitar modeling systems ever built .  These are simply tools for me - asking me which one I prefer is like asking a mechanic which tool does he prefer  - the crescent wrench or the Xcelite nutdriver?

QuoteFinally (and sadly for Peavey as I have always liked them) it seems the company carries an albatross around its neck, as it products are sometimes dismissed as Peavey = Junk

Brand perception means a lot to many folks -
Frankly if Peavey dropped the batwings, use a better wood cab, and installed  an extruded aluminum faceplate and placed the "Budda" logo on the front  - they could probably sell these at twice the asking price and sell like hotcakes

Very impressive!!  I had been waiting for the HELIX & ISP Theta Pro, but this might be a better option not to mention about 2/3 of the price.  People might shy away due to the fact that is in a "combo" setup and not in a Floor ped or Rack.  The sanpera pro reminds me of the Johnson J-12, built like a tank.  I'm a big Hartley Peavey fan, to get a good insight of the man check out "The Tone King" interviews at 2015 NAM, great stuff.

QuotePeople might shy away due to the fact that is in a "combo" setup and not in a Floor ped or Rack. 

I play far more gigs with instrumental groups, and no vocals - often there is 'no PA" because Im hired to play a pool party for local organizations and play instrumental guitar music ( Ventures/ Shadows / Dick Dale), and R&B  / SRV  / Tom Petty type stuff - but sound like the record.

The Combo format I prefer over a floor modeller ( no need to bend over mid song to tweak FX settings)  the Vypyr Pro 100 LCD displays are bright and legible and controls are within reach  and Sanpera Pro footswitch reminds me of sturdier multitiered design of the MFC-101 or HD-500  - where my shoes can target hitting one switch - and all the controls I use are already there  - like a Boost switch from any patch, and reverb  / delay tails after very fast patch switching

(unlike the Helix  / Firehawk FX where "all switches / same height on the  same plane  - and with big shoes its too easy to hit the wrong switch! 

https://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=15279.50
( reveals to me Line-6 R&D spent more time with the Helix sitting on an Engineers desk being programmed , than actually used at real bar gigs  - and look out when the stage lights go on ( or you play an outdoor gig at noon on a college campus ) and that large LCD display becomes a large non readable white sheet of plastic ( no gorilla glass here folks)

- and the Vypyr Pro 100 is relatively light, easy to program, and transports easy for rehearsing or last minute gigs  -without the need to pack a PA  - and full MIDI control as master or Slave

Read the Vypyr Pro 100  MIDI spec here:
https://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=16064.0

I expect the  Vypyr rig will not be used for playing synth Guitar parts  - just meat and potatoes guitar tones.

But I'll test with GR-55

You can stream 48K 24-bit audio over USB in either direction. For streaming from a host, the output is either the Vypyr Pro speaker or the Headphone Jack.


Where the rubber meats the road for me  is that most of the current crop of DSP FX modelers do not react well when used with third party stomp FX placed in front of them.

Roland  / Boss typically fairs better than most. On Line-6 you often get too much noise when you place a third party over drive between your guitar and the input on the POD , and forget doing that on a Fender Mustang DSP amp.

The Vypyr employs an analog front preamp  - the TransTube "Amp Modeling"  is Analog on the Peavey and can handle greater voltage swings and more dynamic range before your tone  "falls of the road"  - or gets unintentionally squished -  as happens too easily with the Fender Mustang Amps.

Easy test this if you still own a genuine tube amp  - try a typical guitar stomp fx with your All tube 20-50 watt Tube amp and play around with it set the stomp FX "VOL" to full up - and watch the decibel volume level boost as you engage the stomp FX for solos - then retry that same FX in front of a  DSP Modeling system  - often you get mixed results that sound nothing like what you expect  - often you get only a 30% volume boost compared to the tube amp test above - or worse, you get cracking popping distortion due to maxing out the gain before the active filter in front of the A/D converter before it hits the DSP   -  that is not desired. 

I still may carry my genuine 63 Fender Tube Reverb unit and use it in front of the Vypyr   - to nail the classic surf tones I need  - that was the signal path in 1963 Guitar > Reverb >Tube Amp.

After my latest real world Firehawk FX disappointment - ( Huge bursts of noise during each patch change, Non functional USB interface for Windows ( works great on my iPad),  -  my faith in  Line-6  has dipped down , then to solve the patch change noise anomalies the dealer advises - "just Palm mute all the strings before you step on the patch change switch on the Firehawk FX " - is just not an acceptable option for me.
http://line6.com/support/topic/13511-time-between-preset-swtiching-unbearable/page-2#entry112661

and waiting for Line 6 to release updates for known problems is getting old - Ive been an early adapter for Variax, Vetta, XT Live, HD500, Tyler Variax - all never got sorted or delivered promised features until middle of the 2nd year of ownership after the "rev 2.xx firmware release.   

as with most technology today - too much capital is invested and too many are being paid to endorse or cruise forums and be the hired fanboy - 

Will the Vypyr suit all my guitar needs? - no - but so far it has the highest ratio of "they got that feature exactly perfect for my needs"  - its the Amp / Floor controller / Guitar with most all the things I really need for my gigs today - without worrying about finding my iPad or laptop stolen off the stage after the 2nd set

QuoteAt 2015 Winter NAMM,  I spent nearly an hour with Peavey Product manager Michael Smith going over the complete "Wide Spectrum Guitar Rig  comprised of the Peavey Vypyr Pro 100 + Sanpera Pro  MIDI Footcontroller  + Peavey AT-200 Antares with the optional Antares "Total Complete Bundle upgrade".

Did you have a chance to plug in first hand & how did the raw guitar tones compare with other modelers on the market?

I live in a small size town with the nearest quality music store about 3.5 hrs away so I usually roll the dice and purchase without trying the units out.  I've had a fun year buying and selling gear (BOSS GT10, HD500x, GR-55, VG-99, Kemper non power amp, TC Nova system, & Bias FX).  Of those I only kept the 99 and Bias FX.  I loved the Kemper especially Michael Britt patches (Little Walter & Bogner).  It was a little overkill for me and given the $600 price tag for the controller I parted ways.  The only unit I didn't have the opportunity to take on a test drive was the GT100.

I placed my order for the Vypyr today and I'm looking forward to playing it out this weekend.

It felt like a tube amp - closest experience is go to any  local Guitar center and play through last years model  - the 100watt Vypyr VIP 3 (while in Electric Guitar Mode) - these are in stock at most Peavey Dealers and get good reviews

Sadly I just got news today from  Adorama in NYC that my 2015 Vypyr Pro 100 / Sanpera Pro  order is actually NOT in stock, but  Back-ordered until mid September :(
Tempted to cancel and re-order this upcoming weekend   - use any labor day sale discount codes from AMS, ZZounds - but most Peavey Dealers have already raised the Vypyr Pro 100's price up $100 to $599 street - and its likely in another month that when all dealers have these in stock mid september 2015,  everyone will be selling at same MSRP price @ $599

For best deal pick up the phone and call AMS

http://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i-PEV-SANPERAPRO


I have been skeptical of the Vypyr product line in the past - many stories of breakdowns  and unreliability for the 8 year old 1st generation models.
But I have enough skils to keep this amp running, and Peavey has always been great to sell me the parts i need to keep their amp running after the warranty runs out - but i might fabricate a front knob protector for use on the Vypyr Pro during transport  -  to protect all the knobs getting sheared off in tight door ways - but this is no worse than my Kemper 

Its true that "on paper" my 10 year old Variax / Vetta / FBV rig is a very similar  ( in stereo too) - but its 4 times heavier to move , and can be temperamental when playing a "concerts in the plaza " event  in direct hot afternoon sun.

The Vypyr Pro 100 sounds better to me , is more versatile with its USB Class Complaint interface  and is easier to navigate. and edit FX mid song at the gig. My Vetta Combo has controls raher like an old Vox AC30,  - while the Vypyr Pro 100 could be used with other FX stacked on top  - like my Kemper.   

But might want to let me be the first lemming to jump in the Vypyr pool, and let me spend some quality time with it. Part of my motivation is I'm getting tasked from some LA techs to assist in new Antares internal DSP system  debugging / programming , and the AT-200 with the "Compete Bundle" upgrade has the same MIDI command set as the latest high dollar Antares ATG Luthier Kit.

After owning the ATG-1 for while I realize its just a bit too big for me to use live ( that would change if it could be used as a MIDi foot controller  - but thats not out yet  )  - while a guitar ( AT-200) with the Antares internal ATG DSP + wireless remote with iPad ( courtesy of the QuiccoSound mi.1) lets me actually use the Antares technology at my gigs - with my "gently used AT200 guitar that i located recently. But Ask me again in October after Ive gigged with it a few times

Or buy yours from a Peavey dealer with a good return policy and one that will not cost an arm and a leg for the return shipping fees !

the new Sanpera Pro footpedal has got most things right compared to competing products

There is a good MIDi specification for   Vypyr Pro 100 / Sanpera Pro  with bidirectional status  - so adding the Quiccosound mi.1 + iPad remote to run MIDI Designer - its conceivable a complete remote control solution could be created- or allow a central show control computer to automate all aspects of controlling both Antares Guitar and Amp settings for the whole nights show.

Thanks for the news -

Look forward to using this comprehensive system


Re the AT-200 -

I just got a used Peavey AT-200 I'm playing with  - not much to enjoy -Its a starter pack type guitar quality,  but this is from my perspective.  I've been playing guitar since 1966, and grew up on Gibson's ( I own a herd of guitars) - I suspect  their target AT-200 customer being a young kid - the AT-200 suffers same symptom as 75% of all new guitars I play at Guitar Center  - I call it the John Petrucci Syndrome  - the AT-200 Neck Profile at 0.6" inch thick (back of neck to top of fretboard at 5th fret )  is just too damn thin,  and If I want to play Mike Bloomfield / Robben Ford  / Joe Bonamassa Blues guitar  - the AT-200 gives me shooting spasms in my forearm.

I admit - My dream guitar neck profile is not everyones cup of tea a  1994 Jeff Beck Strat , or Danny Gatton '52 Tele, or a '57 Les Paul Junior  - all have  a 1" thick Neck Profile  from Nut to 16th fret

Like bottom pic here

Thicker neck = better tone, better sustain, and easier left hand vibrato for blues


But the AT-200 is unchanged -  - but to get full use with the "Vypyr Pro System  - you need the Antares Complete Bundle upgrade - at $150

Or another option - (assuming you have Guitar Luthier skils)

Skip the AT-200 - and until Sept 15, 2015 - order the Antares Internal ATG DSP Kit - on sale 50% off @ $299 for Antares ATG Internal kit with hex PU, 2 encoders, Antares DSP board - this already includes the Antares Complete Bundle firmware - and is a better option than the AT200 for a pro player

From The Gear Page Vypyr Pro Thread
http://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/vypyr-pro-namm.1531582/page-11

QuoteIf your going to chase the tail of Line 6 Yamaha just admit it and move on. Learn a lesson, look at what they did marketing wise on their Firehawk. Look how many videos they already have up and it is just hitting the market. The market is informed and anticipating this product (not me).

FWIW - Ive been using a Firehawk FX for the past 4 months ( I'm SteveKC at Line-6 forums) http://line6.com/support/topic/13511-time-between-preset-swtiching-unbearable/
Just a warning re Line-6 Firehawk FX - this is a turkey

* No compatibility with Variax Workbench

* No MIDI control over USB

* No PC /Mac Editor

* Broken USB Audio ASIO Driver that is really a joke. ( the USB Driver is a joke  - fixed at 24 bit / 48Khz ) it distorts badly if you feed it Wave files at  44.1kHz )

* massive noise anomalies during patch changes while playing guitar

* No compatibility with Line-6 Monkey

* Its clear the Firehawk is just a AMPLIFI FX100 with a bit more switches and Variax VDI input. tacked on as a rush job

But for Line-6 to release a product with this many unpublished problems and lurking land mines puts me right off from considering a Helix.

FWIW - The new $1500 Helix has over a 1/2 second "gap / mute" between its patch changes - and that becomes an impossible deal breaker for many Guitarists playing in a trio



QuoteQuilter is beating them at their own game, not Kemper

Agreed! - the current line of Dave Quilter amps are great ! but still three times the price of a Peavey

QuoteI just can't get over the undercover boss and how the owner behaved
Hartly reminds me of Boss Hogg

Agreed - luckily in 2015 nobody watches CBS anymore. But those episodes should be a classroom example that negates the idea that "any media exposure is good exposure for promoting sales" (NOT!)

But it might land HP some movie roles

Couple that with TTK youtube Vypyr Clean Example videos where he can't properly mic an amp or set his Mic pre gain without clipping
Put on headphones  and hear the mic clipping at at 3:30 and 5:45 minutes) will have folks looking elsewhere.
( Yikes!)

Dr Andy Hildenbrand wrote>
The development of ATG and the People who Took Part
Four and a half years ago, I knew nothing of guitars. Most of what I have learned, I
learned from other people. I am an implementer of ideas and most of the ideas come
from other people. The ones that don't, do come from the general conversation
around us, in which I am a single voice.
The birth of an idea:
Occasionally, I walk around the office to practice my development of social skills. If I
sometimes discussed our Auto-Tune® market place, I would mention one reason we
are successful is the vocalist is the second most popular instrument. Second only to
the guitar!
Duh.
I said that for years. The skull never opened. The light never came in. It was only
while I was porting Auto-Tune® to a new DSP processor did I ask myself how many
Auto-Tune®s could go on that chip? A little calculation ... hummm, 6!
Wait, Wait ... Wait ... no light.
I was talking with with Fred Poole, from Peavey, about the ability of putting six
instances of Auto-Tune on a chip when we were discussing a different partnering
opportunity and he said "Oh, that's how many strings on a guitar."
Finally,... light!!!
That was in September, 2010. I wired a cheap hex pickup to a $100 used Strat, ran it
into Pro Tools and used six Auto-Tune® plug-ins to see what it did: it sounded
GREAT!! So by October, I had wired the manufacturer's development board to the
pickup and got the six Auto-Tune®s processing data on the chip, and that worked
fine too.
Then I made my second good move (my first was talking to Fred Poole). I hired Marc
to design and build me a board. Marc is a genius. He's a hardware guru and has a lot
of audio industry experience. He's been doing programming and hardware for as
many years as I have and together, we total about 80 years of hands on
experience. Marc designed me stuff I haven't had time to productize, like a tremolo
bar. In November (one month) he completed the design of the first ATG processing
board, called the LB6, including all purchasing, fabrication and manufacturing
information. By December he had the board fabricated, purchasing completed and
assembly completed. He checked out the power-to-ground connections (hopefully open) and power supply voltages. I received the first board about January 10, one
week before the NAMM 2011 trade show, loaded the software, found a single
problem that Marc corrected in one day, and it all ran the second day. The only
feature programmed at the time was String Tune.
Here is the LB6 (smaller than a business card):
Figure 5: LB6 board
This circuit board inputs six channels of audio from the guitar strings and outputs
one or two channels of audio. The largest chip is a Freescale 56724 processor with
two cores, each capable of sustained 250,000,000 multiply-adds per second (that is
250 million), cost about $5 in quantity.
In 1976 I was a Ph.D. research engineer at Exxon when a Cray or Amdahl Super
Computer cost about $1,000,000 per 5 million multiply-adds per second. And that in
1976 dollars! If those prices persisted, what would the LB6 be worth today?
Mummm, ... 250M multiply-adds * 2 cores / 5M Cray multiply-adds * $1M Cray
dollars * 7 inflation = $700 Million dollars ... about the cost of a wild cat oil well in
the Gulf of Mexico. Except for BP, which paid about $30 Billion.
Before that NAMM 2011 show, I hired a guitar player to do demos at the show. We
showed to a lot of people including several artists and most of the major guitar
manufacturers. Peavey instantly saw the value of a self-tuning, self intonating guitar
and agreed to immediately begin the design of what became the Peavey AT-200.
By the middle of 2011, I had added Solid-Tunetm, Guitar Models, Alternate Tuning
and Virtual Capo. I developed a digital encoder and control interface and
programmed encoders to control Models, Alternate Tuning and Virtual Capo. I
added MIDI controls and changed to a decent pickup.
At this point I have a guitar that has very low distortion, the ability to tune strings
from String-Tune, and the ability to keep the strings in tune with Solid-Tunetm, up
and down the neck, independent of geometry issues or finger pressure. The guitar
also provided physical models.
I had total control of the pitch: I added Alternate Tunings: Drop D, Double Drop D,
DADGAD, and some open tunings. I also added transposing the low E down an
octave (at the suggestion of my CFO, Operations manager and Corporate Counsel,
Georganna). I added a second channel to each string so that I could have a 12 String
and an Octaver. I also added a full two-octave Virtual Capo, an octave up and an
octave down, as well as Pitch Bend that can also go up and down one octave.
If you're into self abuse, try playing a harmonic, pitch bend up an octave, then capo
up another octave.
I customized several guitars with ATG technology and gave them to interested
guitar manufacturers.
I hired Henrik Bridger, who is an experienced Luthier and guitar builder. He is a
bass player, and when he speaks, you listen (in a nice way). Henrik Bridger is known
in the office as Honey Badger, which is funny because his antithetical to the "he
don't care" rodent. He has given us a lot of excellent advice on guitars. Together,
Henrik and I customized ten guitars for three companies for the 2012 NAMM.
Peavey and Parker showed ATG guitars at NAMM and Peavey has moved forward to
produce the AT-200 which was released in November 2012.
In the meantime, Marc had revised the circuit board to reduce costs, run on much
less current, and support piezos and mag pickups.
I must say, the guys at Peavey have spent many hours playing, building and selling
guitars. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Hartley Peavey. Hartley is made of
steel. He is smart and intuitive, and way too modest. Hartley's General Manager,
Fred Poole, is a visionary. He predicted this instrument would do very well. He built
a lot of AT-200 guitars to ship the first day - but he was wrong there: when he
shipped those guitars, he had 4 times that backlog. Michael Smith is a bulldog of a
product manager. Both Michael and Fred are guitar players, and they knew exactly
what their guitar should do. We all made it happen on schedule.
I continued software refinements. But I was light on guitar players, and I wanted
some truly seasoned and aggressive players to beat up these guitars in every way
possible. I hired Eric Barnett. Eric is a musical prodigy. He started out as a violin
player and graduated to be an award-winning guitar player. You can see him on our
home page video at www.autotuneforguitar.com. Check out Eric's web site at
www.pointsnorthband.com. Eric has been invaluable at isolating
extremely detailed issues in the software and has also contributed strongly to create features that are
useful to players. I trust his judgment and many features we have are his ideas.
Another gift has been Robin Macomber. Robin is the demonstrator in the feature
demos on the website. He is also a guitar teacher and has many students and a great
website for guitarist: www.navigatingmusictheory.com. Robin's uncanny gift has
been to ferret out any digital artifacts the software could create. I don't know how
he does it, but it usually involves doing everything other than plucking strings.
Thank you Robin!
Getting close to real time, I implemented several fresh ideas. These were:
The Doubling options were created by moving the multi-channel options out
of the Alternate Tunings menu. As a result, you can choose a 12 string and
tune it to an Open E, etc.
Fret Control was suggested by a user on the www.autotuneforguitar.com
forum. I programmed that after which Marc politely reminded me he had that
idea a year ago. This is what happens when you get old like me.
Eric created global settings. These are settings that remain in effect across
preset selections, power cycles and Feature Pack changes. They are Global
Gain, Global Transpose, Global Detune and Global Tone Offset. These settings
are discussed below.
The www.autotuneforguitar.com web site was designed and built by Jon Cattivera at
www.sleeplessmedia.com (great name, isn't it?). Our employee, web manager and
database guru, Trish Nielsen, designed and programmed our web store and guitar
download software in response to my grueling requirement that any completed
transfer has zero errors.
Finally, involved from the beginning, is Marco Alpert who does the nitty-gritty
marketing work at Antares. Marco has been with us since 1998. He has been a great
person for product ideas and messaging to the user. Lately he has taken over
implementing www.autotuneforguitar.com. He has also designed and maintains
iPad control files using the "MIDI Designer Pro" application to allow detailed control
of the guitar. He is working on a special new guitar product that I can't tell you
about.

I'm back -
I still think the Vypyr Pro System makes sense for a working musician today - and serves as a platform for expansion to third party tools - and not nearly as "closed box" as a 2005 Variax/ Vetta combo - or "Dream Rig" JTV-59+HD500X+DT50"

I'll do a shoot out of all the above in October 2015

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I was looking at buying a AT200 for the guts for a tele or PRS build.

Iv'e done the Graphtech & Roland build:





The AT system looks like it will fun system to build.

On a different note, a question for existing Peavey Vypyr owners (previous generation Vypyr).  Does Peavey keep supporting the product with firmare and expansions?  Given that this amp (Vypyr pro) is actually about 18+ old thanks to the FCC LED issues.  I would hate to think that a Vypyr PRO 100 II is being designed now.  I was a little surprised by the lack of hype for this release.  With that Budda badge it might be a different story  ???  I had never had an opportunity to test drive one of the Tube 60 versions, they seem to have received great reviews back in the day.

Have to look at past experience  on how Peavey provides firmware updates ( like here)
http://peavey.com/products/vypyrvip/

http://peavey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=32537


The Vypyr Pro 100 Editor and patch exchange  will be added here
https://secure.peavey.com/vypyredit/


- In general i only expect firmware updates to swat obvious bugs - ( rather like Roland)  - and not expecting a "Line-6 " or Kemper" or Axe FX "   - not expecting a new Vypyr Pro firmware drop every 18 weeks after purchase.

AFAIK -  the Vypyr Pro design team is still in USA, and this is a high profile product for Peavey - that admittedly has has a few bumps since first announced 20 months ago.

Its not uncommon in todays electronic industry

And I can always place my kemper on top and feed the FX loop return - and use the 4 model slots on  Vypyr Pro as FX only, and use KPA for Amp modeling.

But I suspect I won't have too - Play a Vypyr VIP Electric model at your local Peavey dealer for a taste of Vypyr Amp experience.

QuoteThere is absolutely no technical or marketing reasons that a competitor can't offer 75% or more of the capability of the Helix at 75% of the price.

The upcoming Peavey Vypyr Pro 100 has dual Sharc processors at a $599 selling price.

QuoteIt looks like Peavey is FINALLY going to release this amp! ETA right now is around May. Sweetwater even has it up now for pre-order. I'm stoked! I've been waiting for this amp for over a year now, and am looking forward to playing with it.

As I posted before, I would have to get on a plane or drive all day to test out any of the new gear coming out.  I decided to against the grain and kept my order for the Vypyr.  I was asking my rep if he had a chance to demo the Helix, Theta and the Vypyr.  Here is what he said

QuoteI've had a lot of hands on with all of them and by far the most gratifying and best sounding experience was the Helix. That thing is a game changer. Everything from the build quality to the user interface and customization is just astounding. I'd highly recommend the helix, you won't be disappointed!

After owning the Pod Live XT and a short stint with the 500x, I'm very trigger shy on spending $1,500 on another line 6 processor.

Ive owned many Peavey products, not saying I'm an old fart but I still have a Series 400 Bass head in my shop, that thing refuses to die  ;)

Really looking forward to playing this out next weekend.

After owning Vetta, HD500X, Firehawk FX - I'm less impressed with the Helix - it does not suit my live gig needs 
I dont want another box I have to pre-plan my whole songlist in advance,  because the patch to patch change time is too sluggish (yes its a big deal to me.), and the ergonomics and foot control  placement of Helix IMHO are very poor -  too easy to step on two switches at once, or have the fat lady sing and dance on stage and break the color LCD display with a $600 non warranty repair bill. I often play in the sand with surf band or in a vineyard in the dirt.  - foot pedals are consumables in my line of work.

- I'm spontaneous at gigs, and need fast patch changes, and fast editing  - Vypyr Pro system is a near perfect fit for 90% of my live gig needs
