Budda Twinmaster & Bad Cat Hot Cat..... Oh my!!!  :o

Sounds like the XLR out is a 4x12 emulation only.  Not sure how this will effect the clean models like the Fender twin.

watch and listen to the Vypyr Pro MSDI XLR out into a PA here

Just had my Iphone capturing video at Peavey booth at 2015 Winter NAMM last January ( I had never seen the Vypyr Pro System before) 

Totally spontaneous / unrehearsed getting acquainted with the Vypyr Pro System
Listen to me introduce myself to Micheal Smith (Peavey Product Manager ) as he explains the details of the Vypyr Pro System  - a typical NAMM trade show floor live demo. 

Not the best camera work - but the audio (mono sound  from an iPhone 6 Plus microphone) gives a 16 minute ball park representation of the Vypyr Pro System sonic capabilities and patch change time, Acoustic sounds and electric sounds etc..



the 1st part is the Vypyr Pro 100 speaker alone- then at the 2:45 minute mark he mutes the Vypyr 12" speaker , and connects the  Vypyr MSDI XLR output to feed the PA 

In hindsight,  applying the optional Youtube "Antishake" filter to the video was a mistake as it just added new levels of sea sickness ;)

Cool  8)!!!

I should have mine mid-morning tomorrow (Sweetwater).  Looking forward to the patch exchange!!!  It will be interesting to see what presets it ships with, and if they will be usable.

Mine arrived about 90 minutes ago. Gotta give it a rest and go back to bed so I can work tonight. lol

First impression: it's bloody LOUD! lol It defaults to the 6505+ (red), and even with the Power Sponge at 50%, the Master's only at 2...and it goes to 13!  :shock:

Ran into one issue I may be too tired to work out...changing amps in Bank 1 was easy as pie. But, when I tried to change Bank 1 to an Instrument, I'd lose the sound out. Only way I could recover was to reboot the amp...and then it boots up the default amp. Either I'm missing something very basic, or this may be a problem (software version 1.32).  :?

Will play with it more when I get home from work tomorrow morning (~0500 EST)...maybe before going to work later tonight, but that'll depend on the missus.

QuoteIt's probably still there, but it would be very quiet. Just changing from a 6505 to an instrument model really wouldn't be advised, you really still need an amp behind it to drive it. I just checked the one I have here next to me and at first I didn't think there was any sound either, but when I turned it up I could hear it. And yes, it can get loud!  :)

I'm using 1.32 as well.

QuoteI just got mine. I had no issue with changing to an instrument. One negative so far is the its hard to see the model bank displays from my seat unless I tilt the amp back. Would be nice if they were angled up a bit. Hopefully when the editor app becomes available I won't need to see the displays. Back to playing around ...

QuoteIf you are a gigging musician in a coverband, wedding band, hobbyband, etc. Hell, if you are just a bedroom guitar player and once in awhile play at a friends house. This is the amp for you!!!!!
My band does about 25 - 30 shows a year. I do this as a hobby, but have been playing since I was in high school. You can see the list above of items I have gone through. This is not saying any of the items above are not decent, and it is not an all inclusive list. There were others, Valvetronix, Vypyr Tube 60, Eleven Rack, you get the idea.(What's up X-Mann, saw you on the boards LOL)

The sound of this amp is fantastic and certainly is better than my Current rig of Blackstar ID100 with HD500 as controller and Effects. Also better sounding then my ridiculously heavy Blackstar HT60 with similar setup. It takes about a half hour to learn what your doing, then you discover the Power Sponge on the back, where the noise gates are and where the Presence and Resonance Controls are. Of course, I could have read the instructions, but alas I am a guitar player. Then you are off to the races. Did I tell you that the sounds are amazing. Marshalls sound like Marshalls, Triple Red sounds like a Triple Rec, etc.

The amps sound like tube amps, all the effects are top notch, and the ability to utilize a built in boost, delay and reverb tails and blending amps make the amount of excellent sound out of this amazing. Imagine taking a Marshall JTM45 and blending it with a Bad Cat to add definition. There have been many units that have done this before, my first recollection was the Digitech GNX4. (Yeah, I had one of those also) The point is that they really do blend two great sounding amps. Unlike other units where you blend 2 mediocre amps to get a good sound. This is just so much fun to use. This is what I was hoping to get from the Vetta, the HD500 with however many frfr speakers I tried, the Blackstar ID. Excellent sounding amps that feel good, and controls that are easy, useful and available in any combination that you can think of. This is a wicked setup and I am stoked to have it sitting in my house right now. The tweaking that you do is seemless and operates exactly as if you were using your pedal board with your favorite tube amp. You do not need to add seven different equalizers to get things to sit correct in the chain. It is easy to get a great sound with little effort.

Here are the things that they should have told everyone but didn't. The cabinet is a definite upgrade from the previous Vypyr line. They actually used metal corners and it feels like it is substantial. Not the cheap overseas cabinets that they used before. I swear those were made of balsa. Everything from the input jack to the USB and speaker switch are great quality. This is a huge upgrade from previous units. All of you guys who have been complaining that it will never sound as good as your Tube Vypyr need to open your wallet and go to Sweetwater's website and pony up the cash. This sounds just as good, actually better than my Tube 60 did back when I gigged with it.

Maybe it is the extra processing power utilized, maybe it is some other wizardry, but it sounds fantastic.
It is not a compromise for you folks, it is an upgrade.

Again, this is not to bash the Kemper, Axe FX, Eleven Rack, etc. This is just a review of an item that not only surpassed what I thought it would or could be, but is just a fantastic addition to those looking for a great gigging modelling system. I certainly have been searching long and hard. When I found the high priced units, it seemed like I had to add another high priced item to get the most out of them. (FRFR Speakers, Midi controller, Midi cables, Patch cables. midi splitters, etc.) Now I was using my labelled spaghetti of cables to setup my all in one time saving setup. You all know what I am talking about. In matter of fact, I have seen some of your pictures and some people have me beat with the amount of stuff to get through a cover of Gimme Three Steps.

This was different, I opened the box and plugged it in. After the debacle of release on the Vypyr Pro, I can say well done on the finished project. The Peavey Vypyr Pro is fantastic, and those tired of lugging your 16 cables, 4 controllers, frfr speakers, etc around should give it a try. I give it 2 huge thumbs up!

I couldn't find anything in the manual about blending, nor a list of modeled amps/effects.

Vypyr Pro 100 has four "Model slots" that can be loaded with a mix / match from the list below - you can have 4 Amps if desired - or use all 4 Model Slots for FX and feed a third party Amp Modeler/profiler (Kemper) in the Vypyr Pro 100's FX Loop for Amp modeling, and control the whole rig via MIDI with the Sanpera Pro:

( Instruments can only go in Model Slot #1)

Now that the Vypyr Pro is shipping, I'd like to open up a forum for comments and experiences. So far, I've seen one very positive review on TGP, also from someone that was so over the wait and somehow got banned from here (not sure how). In any event, let's discuss the Vypyr Pro.

Quote I went through all the Instruments, and while some worked just fine, these did not:

Fat Acst (FATA) - Pop, and no sound.
Bass (BASS) - Pop, and no sound.
Resonatr (RESO) - Pop, and no sound.
Sitar (STAR) - Whistle, Pop, and no sound.
E-Viol (EVIO) - Extremely loud constant Whistle (even when placed in Stand-By Mode).

I'm thinking there's something either wrong with the first dial, or something became loose during shipping. While I obviously haven't gone through all the other options, any preset I load works just fine. I think I'll be playing with those today.  :D

Oh yeah...these were tested after a Factory Reset, and I also disconnected the Sanpera Pro to take it out of the equation. I even tried making the changes while in Stand-By Mode, and that didn't seem to make a difference one way or the other...the ones that worked still worked, and those that didn't, still popped.

EDIT: Just spent the last half-hour going through all the amps, effects, and stomp boxes on the first dial...all work fine. It's only the above Instruments causing problems.  :(

We caught this snafu but not in time for the amps that were already on the way.  It just needs to be updated to firmware 1.33.   What causes this is when you have an instrument model in slot 1, but nothing in the other modeling slots, which I'd argue would be exceedingly rare anyway.

Vypyr usb asio reaper??
QuoteFirst you must install ASIO4ALL ( http://asio4all.com/ ).
Then plug in the usb from your Vypyr into the computer, and your guitar into the Vypyr...

In Reaper, select ASIO4ALL as your ASIO-driver, and open the control panel for ASIO4ALL.
There select the Vypyr as your INPUT device, and your soundcard as your OUTPUT device.

Create a track in Reaper, and select the Vypyr as the input.

The latency should be much better now...


One aspect to know, with current firmware VYPYR Pro does not support USB Streaming

dont really want to get the at guitar and deal with that...is that what really makes this amp? I mean if i dont use that feature am i wasting a big part of this amp? Just curious...like can i just hit 12 string and it makes any guitar sound like one? likely not huh?  All that clicking of switches in the vid ..it looks cool....i am really looking into this..

hsuru4u

is the power sponge like an attenuater? to vary the wattage?

I tried a Peavey 30 Classic at Guitar Center on a whim and man did it sound good- really inspiring.  I play mostly distorted guitar- but switch between metal and blues all the time.  Wondering how the Vypyr is at replicating the Peavey 30?-  I'm all over the place with this modeling solid state stuff that has come out.  Been looking at this Peavey for a while now, The Mustang has gotten good reviews and the Yamaha THR's are impressive- Played one of those and was really impressed.  Also Quilter in the mix...  Yamaha also just released a head for the THR and a pretty wild cabinet. - so when you look at the Vypyr which I assume the footswitch is a must (nice to have assignable 2 expression pedals) it's $900 or so I believe- which is up there with quite a few others that I mentioned.  If anyone has any experience with these others and ths new Vypyr, please let me know.  Christmas (and b-day) is coming and wife gave me the nod :-)  Right now I have a Mesa Dual Rectifier Tremo-verb- that I bought in '88 I think?  and it's the only amp I've had since.  and I'm not too crazy about it anymore.  I think I'm due...
