Thanks for tuning in guys! Let me know what you want to see if a formal review! 👇
Does this connect usb so you can direct record it without a mic???? Gotta keep it quiet around here...
It would be awesome if you can do a formal review, make sure you compare this tube version against the current Vypyr Pro.
Yes
Yo! Kinda sad you never got around to a formal review of this amp. The tube 60 is maybe the best modeling amp of all time. And by best, I don't mean necessarily the most accurate...I mean it's just the best sounding (which is what actually matters). Super cool that the amp tones/distortion is analog. Also cool
That the effects were done by the Damage Control (aka Strymon) guys.
@@kevinp_25I’m way late to the party but I’m genuinely thinking about buying a used one of these. Do you think it’s still worth buying in 2024? It sounds so damn good I’m just worried for the lack of support and discourse due to it being discontinued.
Goddamnnn that 6505 tone is brutal as fuck.
I too used to have a XXX, I'm still so surprised how underrated it is, totally slept on. I wish I still had it 😭😭😭
The 6505 setting is great!
i had one of these a while ago. putting a tube screamer and a noise gate in the signal chain makes it a beast
I had peavey vypyrs since I first started out 13 years ago and still have one for bedroom practice. They sound crisp and fantastic. I've heard full blown head amps sound worse
Great intro to this amp!! I would love to see the in-depth review you spoke of in this video! Thanks and congratulations on the family!
Combining the tube amp with all the extra effects and shit is pretty dope. Practice amps nowadays definitely don't suck.
In my opinion... the Vypyr 60 watt Tube series are tonally the best kept secret on the market to this very day~ especially for the price! The heavy tones you went through on this video really translated well! Great job, Taylor! 🤘😎👍
Just siiiiick. I'm sold. Listening to your riffs as I get ready for work is a pleasure. Thanks Taylor. Killer!!!
Man, you really know how to shred. You play with such precision!
I recently got to play an old Peavey XXL combo that my uncle came across one day, its basically a budget solid state XXX. And man, its a beast, I'm definitely going to have to get one. I also had one of these Vypyr 15-watters back when they were new. Leaves had some way underrated stuff. Cool demo, discovered your channel, subbing!
🙌🏻 i haven’t played an xxl, but one of these days I’ll own an xxx again
Nice! Been using this as my home amp since it came out. Rectifier on red our goto thrash around the studio setting. Always felt the Tube 60 never got the proper love it deserves 🤘
The tube 60 & 120 are the best of Vypyr line and still holds its own. I've had one for a number of years and it's not going anywhere. If yours has the stock speaker, try swapping it out. A good speaker upgrade really lets this beast roar. Sounds even better through a proper 4x12 like that Mesa cab you had it sitting on.
Awesome demo, Taylor. 😎🤘🏻🎸I’m a huge fan of peavey guitar amps and this vypyr amplifier sounds killer. I use to own a 2nd version of the peavey vypyr amp. It was such an awesome amp . It was the best modeling amp I’ve ever tried and owned. I do miss it. Peavey is planning on releasing a new version of the vypyr called the vypyr x. I can hardly wait until it’s release.
I'm sure the nuance of the amp sounds was lost between TH-cam compression and my phone speaker. However, I enjoyed watching it while making pancakes. That Jackson is badass too.
😂 enjoy your pancakes.
I was thinking the same thing....the metal amps all sound the same...not bad but the same...I am sure in person they have their differences in person.....and I think it cool that peavey would do a modeling version of the krankenstein....I have been eyeing the head version but I also want to save up for when a 50 watt version of the actual krankenstein amp pops up
Picking up a used Peavey Vypyr Tube 60 tomorrow. Thanks!
As always...great vid.
Gotta use a good noise suppreser with these amps though as at loud volumes it's proper gnarly!!!
Jay
Definitely go for the 6534 in the review. This actually sounds really good! My Vypyr has a craptastic speaker but outboard to a cab can pull out some chuggs. I didn't even know they made a tube variant of this. Cool man
Man that Kelly is so sweet . I’ve got a weird thing about Jackson’s headstocks . All the non reverse Jacksons I’ve played give me a claustrophobic illusion or something. It bothers me not being able to see much of the headstock . Is just a weird personal from my playing POV. They look great watching. They haven’t made a ton of cool affordable reverse headstock Kelly guitars. Kellys are my favorite explorer style guitar and I’m surprised more people don’t use them . You’re going to find your funny bone really quick playing one seated is the only drawback I have noticed . Anyway cool guitar and I’m glad to see some affordable gear getting some love . I wish Peavey would get back to making amazing value gear in the United States again .
Love your videos!!! Youre a good guitar player and cant wait to see more videos!!
I already have a Boss Katana 50 Mk2 but after yours and Ola's video on this I might have to get one of these.
I ordered it a few nights ago and it includes the Sanpera I pedal. I can't wait to receive it because this amp sounds beastly.🤘
Buddy of mine has a 2x12 combo version of this amp. Sounds huge
i loved these back in the day, killer amps
I just bought the 120 watt head cause of this video! I can’t wait for it to show up and see how much it rips in the room!
Hey man, i found on my local marketplace a used one available.. have you got the amp? If do how it sounds??
agree that practice amp is sick, I played one of those and was amazed how good it sounded
I sold my xxx in very similar circumstances...this actually sounds pretty good...great vid man...
😪 I miss my XXX every day. Thanks!
Tell Ya' What, I'm not a combo guy and always have and had a head and cab for the last 30 years but Just picked up one of these in near mint condition the other day and HHHooolllyyy Cooowww!!!!....Switched out the power tubes to Mesa str-420's and an 80's nos Jan phillips 12ax7wa....GGGaaa!!!!!!!!!!!! Will give my mesa mark iv a run for the money. What's also cool, is that when i plug in my boogie 1x12 cab out of the Vypyr's speaker out, The Vyper still produces sound out of the amp and doesn't cut the sound off like normal amps do when a separate cab's plugged in . I spread out the cab and the amp about 12 feet apart with a long speaker cable and it was pure brutal destruction in both directions with a faux stereo sound (6505) setting....Grab one of these...I'm a believer!
This amp is the best tube modeler to ever exist. And with the Sanpera 2 foot controller you can do so much more with it. I have one still to this day. Of course with all the Mesa gear i own, this Peavey sits in a closet with many other unused amps/tube amps. But it is a good amp for home use for sure. Good quick review video by you and killer shredding as well. Very clean.
Thanks! I really enjoy it. I just got it out the other day to start the review process, and was pretty impressed with how it sounded going through a 4x12
@@TaylorDanley i think you motivated me to get mine out this weekend.
How do you guys think the tube 60 compare to popular digital amp simulators, like pod hd, eleven rack etc?
i just got this. I like the XXX setting too. I play old school thrash and Iron Maiden type of tunes. Trying to find my preferred setting for the gains, mids and lows with XXX Nice vid!!
Ive always wanted the tube model. Ive got a 75w solid state with a sanpera 1. It holds its own against my Boss Katana, as well as my Randall Rg80. Pretty decent for a affordable combo amp.
I had the second generation of vypyr, the VIP 1 and that was easily the best sounding practice amp I had. I would pretty much leave it on the 6505 channel and was always happy with that sound
6505 channel is br00tz
Same here !
And that's the worst of the vypyrs. They are all awesome! Especially the tube models.
Hell Yeah! Sounds bad ass. Based on you and OlaI had to go get one! damn you guys! I would like to see you try some different pedals both in internal and external to make it sound even more brutal.🙌🤘
I think there's a Peavey Butcher as an amp option, would love to hear it boosted with a tube screamer
Great Vid! Looking at one of these and this vid helped me make that decision. Your tone is so killer, what tuning are you in?
All these years and my 120 tube combo is still a monster
Hell ya def would like to hear it through your Mesa cab!
It’s coming 💯
Great. You actually reviewed the Vypyr Tube as opposed to just the plain solid state Vypyr.
I've been using the old 100 watt one since high school more than a decade ago and bought the VIP 3 as soon as it came out.
Fuckyeah! That's sick!! Between you n ola my now new favs ❤
The 15 and 20 watt models smoke everything else in their class too... way under rated amps!
I have to vypyr 120 tube amps. I've been using them at live gigs for years great clean and mid gain tones.
3:11 ultra brutal riff.
You should try and see if there’s a head version of this amp and feature it on your channel!
There is. I bought this though because it’s a good combo for people on a budget, but also has a speaker output for a cabinet 👀
Or just plug it into the 412
@@TaylorDanley Interesting. I still would love to see a dedicated video on that just to see if there’s any difference in sound and such (In terms of how the speakers react and such!)
The idea of the amp is really cool. Shootouts with those models would be cool or budget shootout.... :) \m/.
It's like you know what's coming or something..
I bought this amp 5 years ago and I still haven't used or know all the features it's capable of doing! I bought the SPARK 40 2 years ago and I have the Fender acoustasonic 20 Watt 2 3 years ago! I'm all set unless one of them takes a walk!!!!
Just got done playing my tube vypr love it
that sounded pretty darn good
🤘
My uncle got the Peavey Vypyr 120 head and he's been using it since before I was born lol, I just bought one of the last Peavey Vypyr 120's on the Internet
I love mine especially the Wah sound on the Sanpera I have a 120 tube
Also has a midi
I should consider one of these. My back can’t take lifting my Triple XXX 60 watt combo any longer. Got rid of my 5150 combo for the same reason. I miss it though. This might solve both issues.
That’s why I went axefx/power stage. I was tired of hauling around a tube head and pedals!
I had this amp as my first tube powered amp it has actually few really good sounds on it
Cool, nice little Amp😎
I have a 6505+ 112 and a harley benton 2x12 with vintage 30s in my main practice soace and have my vypyr next to my couch! Sounds great, light, versatile and u can play it silent with headphones. Highly recommend the vypyr and a 6505 or 5150iii lol
Sounds like a killer amp. Might have to get one. I bought the Valetone GP 100 after watching your vid on it so…
🙌
Hello thx for that, sounds fucking great this amp did you use a padel at this amp?
I still have a Viper 1 twenty watt. Its great. Loud enough and small. Good practice amp.. I need to upgrade the speaker.
This amp sounds pretty good. Might be something to put on the wish list.
They have a head also, and if I didn't get a good deal on this, I'd probably just go right for the head.
@@TaylorDanley Awesome! I'm definitely going to look into that. Thanks for the info.
I had the tube version in 2x12, it was absolutely awesome. Underrated at the time because people had a hate boner for digital modeling amps.
Great, now I want one.
😂
I used to have the original version of the Vypr 15, it was my living room amp for a decade until it died two months ago. I’m now using a Fender Mustang Micro in that room, I’m sad because I can no longer annoy my wife with ‘80s AOR riffs while watching TV.. 😞
I still have mine! Going strong. Little 8 inch speaker in a big box…lol
Do u need to crank the volume for good tube sound quality or is there a 1/4 3.5watt button so u get the same sound quality but way less loud so u dont disturb anyone when u live in an apartment
How long did you let it warm up the tubes for when you first turned it on?
Also make a full review on this thing I’ll watch it more than once!
A few years back I bought one of these. I actually really enjoyed it especially because of all the Peavey high gain amps that we’re in there. Oddly enough, I got it after getting rid of my XXX. Lol
I want to start a FB group for people who sold their XXX amps...
@@TaylorDanley totally should do it! I’m always on the look out, if I see the right deal at the right time, I’ll buy it and hold onto it this time!
Plz do the full review!
The amount of people I've seen on forums, videos, etc that have owned a XXX at some point and regretted selling it is alarmingly high lol. A Peavey 3120 (XXX with EL34s stock) was my first big rube amp. Still got it, and there's a lot of signs that I shouldn't let it go. 😂
I have bought this Peavey 120 tube second hand recently and its great. But there's one thing, I can't be sure if its compatible with bass guitar and if so, is there a specific 'instrument channel' for that like in newer series? There are 3 banks A,B,C and 4 presets to each of those. Probably it doesn't matter what guitar I plug in: electric, semi-acoustic guitar or bass but Im not sure. Anyone knows?
I've got the vypyr 1 solid state and man I love it 🤘( didn't get ripped off this time too ) 🤣
Nice, glad that worked out for you!
I have a question, could this and be used as a Poweramp for fm3 fractal unit or line 6 or whatever
Im about to get the vypyr 2 non tube today and just found out theres's a tube variation...and as resulted, although did not think it possible, am more confused than ever.
Have u made the full review yet?
Dude do you think you could get the brown sound classic Evh 1 tone on that bad boy?? If you figure it out let me know lol
Would this amp be good for a metal core sound on a budget? Trying to get an august burns red tone without spending thousands
it sounds awesome, but you think it has better emulations than de multieffects pedals? POD HD500, Mooer GE200, Hotone ampero
I'd also like to know it
So taylor is this going fill the longer term need of the triple x or just a short term fill?
lol
Yet to be determined…
Hello it will be nice to hear this amp at a 12/4. Your vids are freat greetings from Germany
Awesome guitar! Do you have a review on that guitar?
Regarding the amp, it would be awesome to compare it with the Peavey 6505 MH and Peavey 6505 Piranha, if you have any of those.
👀 Next Monday. I don't have either of those, but I do have a couple more similar style budget amps coming.
@@TaylorDanley Ok. A comparisson with a Katana would be nice too!
@ChrisSchmalinski Its very nice of you to share your oppinion and experience. Thanks!
Have you played the DSL20 head? How would you compare it with the Peavey 6505 MH?
🤘🍺
@ChrisSchmalinski Thanks brother. Im a fan of LambChoper videos myself.
Cheers!
IS this loud enough to play with a drummer? i sold my 6505+ and i want something for by my desk for practice but be able to jam if the occasion arises.
How well does it go from one channel to the next with level settings and latency?
I don't know, but I will plug in the pedal and test it in the full review
What pedal you playing with sounds mint!
I don’t think I was using one 🤔
You should 100 percent review the vypyr x3, it seems fanfuckingastic, and they’re no reviews anywhere about it :( and I really would like to see if I should get it for sure
Dusted this guy off the other day for a gig. Ran the Pod Go with the Classic setting. It still kills
The whole reason I bought one XXX and 6505.
If I'm going for a Metallica/Megadeth/(insert other basic thrash band) kinda tone with room for diversity would it be better to get the peavey or a Line 6 tube?
I had the Vypyr 2x12 tube version, SUPER RARE. That thing was SO SICK on the JSX and XXX channels. The FX are meh, but the amp has some SOLID tones.
never met this gem before. sounds very good
It does! I'm thinking it will sound much better through a 4x12. The included speaker is sort of, weird... kind of hard to mic accurately
@@TaylorDanley as I read somewhere, XXX was a PV's take on dualrec, not sure if its true, Terrence of Suffo uses it, guess this fact marks this amp as a ruling one. I used it once in ponkrock application and it was very good. BTW. Do you have any triplerec around? My kemper expirience is asking you
I’ve heard that too! No I don’t have access to a triple, but I do have access to a dual!
@@TaylorDanley *well we're waiting* meme. there were some revisions F's, G's, something related to years and stuff like. Pretty complicated thing to film about it
One more video idea, yank one of those speakers from that cab sitting below and toss it in...I bet that thing would sound a lot better. Or, see if you can drum up some replacements for the best balanced sound vs what blows your mind (absolute biased opinion).
It has a speaker out, so I’ll be running it through my cab and also shooting out with some other stuff using IRs.
Lol. I just keep at least two vypyr 60s at all times. I traded a 120 even for a 60 simply due to weight. I love these amps...
There’s a new vyper amp series!
Can you get good tones out of this thing while having the volume low? Basically is this good for apartments, or do you need to have the volume cranked?
For the 60W tube, it definitely sounds better once you pass 2 or 3 on the master knob. In my experience, that has been too loud for apartments. It does have a headphone jack output (3.5mm), so you can plug in pretty easily if needed.
Plug in a pair of headphones and the neighbors won't complain
Had the 100w head version of this amp. Absolutely killer product, used it for shows and didn’t need a crazy pedalboard, just the sanpera controller that it came with. Even better when there was a backline provided.
I only wish Peavey would take the OG tube version and make it into a mini head that could keep up with a drummer volume wise.
And not gig volume wise, but full band practise in a tiny confined space volume wise. (I only say that as I have the 6505MH and although the tone in it is killer it couldn’t keep up at band practice).
I already know as soon as you hook this up to the 4x12 it’ll sound killer. The hi gain tones in this amp are beyond legit.
There’s a TON of noise that is just like a rumbley static
Nissssssssssssssssssce 🍻
Can it Julianne fries???🍟
I didn't order the optional Julianne fry feature...
The tube versions of the amp were AMAZING, kills me that they only put out the solid state shit now
Just got this baby, trying to figure her out. Thank you young brother!
BROOOO I was just loooking into this amppp but then i found a peavy vk 2x12 for the same price and its all tube
BUT DOES IT HAVE A XXX MODE?
@@TaylorDanley no lol but this amp is on my list tho,i just love how it mixes tube power with digital amps both of both worlds,is it loud like a tube amp??
What tuning are you in?
C standard
@@TaylorDanley sounded awesome man. I just picked up the same amp and a rg 450 dxb for 125 all together
How would you say this compares -- in terms of tone and loudness -- to the Boss Katana?
Katana is better.
@@TheCyberMantis I’ve heard similar opinions from others, but it’s usually on grounds of software issues with the Vypyr Tube. Would you say that when it comes to heavy, high gain tones and that tube-like fullness and perceived loudness, the Katana still beats out a fully functioning Vypyr Tube?
@@ordohereticus3427 It would come down to personal preference. All these solid-state digital things are typically used for practice, or band rehearsal. Nobody records albums with them. And usually, players use other stuff to gig with. Can you gig with a Katana head and a 4x12 cab? Sure. It would work. And if it gets dropped or knocked-over, you won't be crying about it. But would a EVH Stealth 100-watt head or a ENGL Fireball 100 sound better at your gig? Absolutely! So it depends on what you want. Do you want cheap convenience... or do you want the best sounds? For home practice use, the Katana or the Vypyr is great. Plus, they have built-in effects. That sweet tube head is going to need a pedal board, so that pushes the overall cost up even higher. You could spend $2k+ on the amp, and another $2k for a pedal board setup! $350 gets you a Katana head, effects included. Add the GA-FC footswitch for another $120, and go gigging. HUGE price difference, makes the Katana a serious option.
WELL I'M GLAD YOU ASKED. I actually bought this to compare to the Katana MK2 head and another amp... That video is coming soon. Spoiler. They're both plenty loud, but I much prefer the tone on the vypyr so far, HOWEVER, I haven't even opened the MK2 Katana yet..
@@TaylorDanley Until you hook that Katana to your computer, and use the "Tone Studio" software.... don't even try to pick a favorite.
Review that guitar first!
Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘🇵🇹
👀 It's on the schedule!
the permanent noise gate was i real issue here 🤦 i liked the 100w head the peavey speakers are really garbage...but get the matching floorboard also its highly needed to get everything out of that cool thing 🎸
White over gold
Genious
Lol, I spent way too long trying to make that part legible
