Laney BCC Ironheart 112 and Peavey Invective 112 Basic Clean Tone Comparison
มุมมอง 4623 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is a pretty bare-bones clean tone comparison. I misspoke in the video... The Invective is 20 watts vs. the Laney's 30 watts No reverb, no presence, no resonance, and the dynamics knob on the Laney is at zero. More to come! www.brgmusic.com

thanks for the tips! very helpful
I hope it helps!
Haha Bad Moon Rising was the song I would play clean too! Great stuff!
Have the exact same guitar, mid eighties, original owner.
A buddy of mine from Maryland grabbed this one. I really dug it. It wouldn't hurt my feelings to find another!
For me the Peavey wins.
These videos have been helping me immensely as I just purchased a VYPYR X2. Please keep em' coming... Bass too being I'm also a new bassist. 🤘
Good to hear! I am currently having terrible issues with my voice. As soon as I get that sorted, there's more coming.
Been playing guitar for about 35 years but I just purchased the X2 and my first bass. Thanks for the video
Enjoy my VIP-1, so I purchased a very clean VIP-2 so I could play bass with 12 inch speaker. Lesson learned. Don't test an amp on a Chicago front porch. Will call you in Iowa tomorrow in hopes of getting your advice. Thanks. Richard
This is a great Video. It really does change the sounds. But its odd.... It sounds better stock on some riffs. And other riffs. the Green Back sounds better. But all in all; Great comparison Video! Thank You!
You've sold me on the Catalyst. My Spider 1 might have to be retired
I like it more than the mini head.
I watched this video for a 3rd time. I have been playing guitar for 10 months. I practice and play 2-3 hours every day. Retired. I own the Vypyr VIP-1 and am looking at purchasing a VIP-2. Today, you taught me amp variables. A Peavey, with different guitars, with green/orange/red Vypyr settings, played on different bridge pickups has different results. Yikes. This means I can take metal like sounds (XXX for example) on the Vypyr VIPs which I don't enjoy and tone them down for my 73 year old hearing. Long comment I guess. Thanks for the education. Best Wishes.
@@RichardKraneisI'm happy to have been helpful with the amp!!!!
@benchristopher76 I have a chance at a like new Peavy Vypyr VIP-2 for $80. Are you still a big fan of the VIP-2 at such a good price? Thanks Ben.
For $80, I would grab it@@RichardKraneis
@benchristopher76 Thanks Ben.
Great videos. Thank you.
Thanks!
The major takeaway from the comments seems to be 'loud is good'. I support that message!
That's fucking sweet!
Uli is a beast, awesome guitar player!
My son is purchasing this same guitar for his first one, but we need a amp too, could you give me the description of the amp used in this video? Thanks!
@@brianstarr9871 it's a Peavey Vypyr X2. We have a bunch in stock Peavey Vypyr X2 60-Watt 1x12" Digital Modeling Guitar Combo reverb.com/item/50208723?
Thanks man! Cool lesson.
Which amp?
The X Series Vypyr behind me.
Your voice volume is almost imperceptible when the guitar is turned up to the right volume. Maybe simply speaking louder would solve the problem. But it is a good presentation of a little known but great guitar. This guitar needs more publicity! Thank you.
My voice is rough. I fight the worst laryngitis... I can barely speak right now. That's why I haven't posted in some time.
l'm a 50 year player and I purchased this very cool, light, sporty, inexpensive guitar and I rate it exceptionally high. I like playing this great sounding , feeling, and looking guitar.
That's great to hear! I was totally impressed with the guitar. Great price point for what turned out to be an exceptionally cool instrument...
Both amps sound great but the Katana kicks ASS.
Question are How much Guitar and Amp Volume are Needed to achieve the AC/DC tone Beit I live in a Apartment And can’t crank either or be evicted due to laud noise
Line 6 is too muffled it seems it wouldn’t cut through the mix as well as the peavy
What are those pickups? Theres one near me in cedar rapids
They're stock Legator Hive pickups. I think I've got 1 guitar left from this series, but it's a 7 string Ninja. We just got the new Super Shred Ghosts in, and thru have AWESOME necks
and they say you can't play 3 instruments at once...
If Kirk 'wah' Hammet was a drummer :)
Ha!
Damn, not too shabby.
Thanks, Mitch!
Hey really appreciated that you did this review using an amplifier that didn't cost thousands of dollars. EMGs seem to have a less intense high end than the Legator Hive pickups. In my experience it's much easier to "add" additional EQ than to remove it. Hive pickups seem to be totally acceptable, but may be more suited for players that are more experienced with equalizing.
Is the stock speaker a Sheffeild?
It's labeled a Vypyr speaker, but it behaves a lot like a Sheffield with some of the models.
So, what does the solo sound like?
Might I suggest you play it through first before breaking it down note for note?
The person probably thought the “frets” were too low.
@@leonardpoindexter5289 ha!
Celestion DESTROYS
Thanks a lot.I really need this two amp comparison
lol, they all sound pretty much the same to me 😮
Esp can build this and gibson is still trying to build a 59 lp....for 30 years now
jeeeeezzzzzz the celestion sounds horrible. Its like all treble no grunty mid range at all. No thank you.
How to get the best Metal Distortion Sound with out Max Volume on Guitar ect Live in a Apartment
Yeah.... No way the neighbors or the cops would like to hear a full stack at midnight
I don’t know what to do Seems it’s a No Win issue Got to have Guitar Volume Max A lot of gain and amp Volume at least 7-8 Seems a No Win Issue Live in Apartment and can’t find my way now
@@michaelstone4638 I would use the 6505 or 6534 amp models on the red channel... make sure the Pre knob is cranked and add the TSC from the inst/stomp knob
Possibility of tabs?! Please
LTD should make this without a Floyd! @espguitarsusa @ESPGuitarsJP
i can agree they have a non tremolo but it’s 13 hundred bucks, definitely gonna be a good guitar however the 200s are just as good!!
Combo invective? I didn't know such thing exists.
They are available here and there, just starting to show up.
@benchristopher76 Great video my friend! If the Jackson JS Roads 22-7 HT arrives in your shop, can you please do a demo of it? Possibly the new Jackson JS King V 22-7 HT? Both of those models are models that Jackson released this year! Around the $250, and $270 price. If it's possible, can you please do a demo of the $200 Jackson JS 22-7 HT guitar? I'd like to hear three of those Jackson models tested through the Peavey Vypyr VIP 2, and Peavey Vypyr X2. Keep up the guitar demos buddy! Also, please do some more 9 string unboxing, and demo videos! Would like to hear how those 9 strings sound when chugging, and playing those instruments through the Peavey amps you have in stock! Keep it metal brother!
I chipped my EVH Standard taking the back cover off as well.
Total freakin' bummer. Can't believe how easily it happens
X3 makes the X2 sound like a kids toy
Well, thanks a lot, man. I've had the same problem with my Iron Label 7 Ibanez. Really nice guitar I was about to sell just because of this. It's now fixed and I couldn't be happier with the result. I can't believe I was about to sell this guitar. It has the best humbucker splitted sound of all my collection.
That's aweome! I'm glad this helped!
Actually sounds like a death metal vocalist. You wouldn’t need a singer,..just another guitarist with a better sounding amp.
X2 All the way! Sounds like the record:)
Impressive sound. Plenty of gain.
It's pretty thick.
Awesome playing! Especially that Testament riff!
Thanks you!
Peavey has more Realism still to this day and you do not need a computer program to get the MOST out of a VYPYR either, unlike the Katana whose software updates are a pain.
