    I had this amp for the first 6 years of playing guitar, and it’s a great amp for how cheap it is.

    The moment you said "switch over to 6505" I knew exactly what I am expecting to hear as I've been playing a lot of 6505 2x12 combo lately... I didn't disappoint and actually amazed to be honest. It has the familiar bass and the lower frequency crunch of 6505! It may not be the exact sound but I thought they did a pretty good job mimicing 6505 sounding.

    The gain in this amp series is absolutely mindblowing considering the price. Better than a lot of more expensive SS amps. A cheap way to get that 'wall of distortion' sound that you see in live shows is to take this amp, another amp that has a different sounding distortion like a marshall SS amp and hook them both up to an EHX switchblade and use both A+B channels.

  • @BosomNogomPanjIzvali
    @BosomNogomPanjIzvali 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I owned this amp for several years, and it's brutal amp for the price. I used it on hunderds of gigs and not just for metal. I played even blues, funk, pop and dnb with it. In my opinion, if you play smaller gigs, up to 700-800 people, it is better option than some head/cab options.
    But one thing that bothered me the most is not the character of the amp, it is the high end hiss that every amp model produced when you implement the gain. If they fixed this problem, this very amp would be the next bandit 112 in terms of the mass usage.

    I am amazed to see a modern video on one of these! I bought a VIP 3 six years ago and it has served every need I had in guitar playing. I have never needed to get a new amp or very many pedals because this thing does SO MUCH. I can't believe how clear and present this thing sounds for a relatively cheap practice amp, I love this amp to death. Mine is beat to all hell, turning the knobs down actually makes them go UP for some reason, but using the software you can find online bypasses that issue pretty easily. I still use mine every day and only recently, after six years of using it, have I thought of selling it and using an amp sim on my computer. This thing still holds up against every other amp in its category and I wish more beginner guitarists would buy these instead of Line 6 amps. I can't say enough good things about the Vypyr.

I got a tighter, punchier response with more growl, increased clarity, and it kept up with our drummer way easier and cut way better without having to sacrifice EQ. Put one in the Vyper so I can hear it and go blow 500 on an amp and speaker I don’t need! Peavey is such underrated gear!

    Thanks for the great review ... you probably like the amp so much because unlike the Boss and Line 6 the VYPYR uses analog distortion (TransTube). The Power Sponge is also part of it and actually patented - it simulates turning down the power section of a tube amp, and the SAG of a real tube amplifier. The gate on it is really not designed to be the type of gate you would find in a pedal....it's more to get rid of background noise and we realize it could be improved. The VYPYR Pro does have an adjustable gate. I hear you on the interface ...hard to control all that stuff from the front of an amp...most of the competitors you have to use outboard gear or USB to access features at least you can get to all features from the amp itself - Thanks again! -Fred

    Peavey has been a great brand for decades, especially if you wanna do metal ! I loved the valveking, classic 30 (this one doesnt look like a metal amp, but it can do 80's heavy pretty well) and the Bandit 112 i had. I loved especially the Bandit for its warmth, sturdy construction and of course this grindin' distortion that became a classic. Apparently the Ultra is really good and of course the 5150/6505 is the way to go for metal, may it be oldschool or modern (also one of my favorites, never owned one, but always loved to play these). The Vypyr is no exception, but i'm not a fan of the digital processing thing goin'on inside, but that's more of a matter of taste from someone who owns amps twice his age ! So to sum it up, the vypyr is indeed good, and as long as it gets the job done, well, it's the right tool. Have a nice day everyone !

  •  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice review Ola. As the (former) owner of the VIP-1, I totally agree.
    Amp sounds great, although it's lacking noise gate settings.
    VIP-1 has 8" speaker which is OK for home use, but not enough for louder environment.
    My friend has a VIP-2 with 12" speaker, same as VIP-3, and that one is way better.
    I was considering replacing speaker, but I done some research and it seems that these Peavey speakers are tuned for use with this specific amp and it's amp models, so replacing it with something else (ie. Celestion) may not be worth it, as it may not necessarily give expected results.
    USB connection is useful for simple direct recording in DAW (amp becomes soundcard with all the benefits of built-in amp models and FX).
    (I put some samples on my YT "channel")
    USB also allows to edit presets and banks in the amp, with a simple yet outdated aplication. I didn't use it that much.
    When I started meeting a friend to play some music "live" again, it occured that my VIP-1 couldn't match his VIP-2 in "loudness war", so I (just recently) sold my Peavey VIP-1 and got myself something louder. :)

  • @DoomKid
    @DoomKid ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Firstly I want to say this is a great video and totally fair, as usual with Ola - BUT, I wanted to throw out there that, while I think the VIP 3 is pretty damn good, I will say that in the same general price range/category of amps for metal/small-level gigging amps like pubs and such, I think there are better choices. I like to play death metal and want a nice brutal tone, and the Fender Champion 100 on the Metal channel sounds more brutal overall in person. (I've owned each for a year now)
    Maybe it's a unfair comparison, since it's a 2x12 speakers vs 1x12 situation in favor of the Fender - that stereo sound helps so much - but still, I don't need 99 channels that sound "pretty damn good", i'd prefer one that sounds flat-out badass, and the Champion 100's metal channel just sounds so damn good to my ears, extremely sharp, rich, full, crunchy sound. You can't go wrong with either, but I think the Fender also cranks harder before it gets too loud and "flabby poo tone" kicks in.
    Other solid state combo amps in this size/budget range I've heard good things about are the Boss Katana 2x12, Blackstar ID Core 2x75, Marshall MG102CFX 2x12, and (despite being a little more pricey) the Line 6 Catalyst 200watt. If you get your hand on any of these starter-gig-level amps, I would love to hear your views on em!
