PEAVEY VYPYR SPEAKER UPGRADE - METAL
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 มิ.ย. 2021
- So I upgraded the Peavey Vypyr combo and installed a Celestion Heritage GM12 speaker in there. Just trying to figure out if it's worth upgrading, it would be fairly easy to get a used peavey vypyr and a used celestion for a good price. Check it out and hear the comparison between the original and the Celestion.

Alright so I finally got a chance to upgrade the speaker in the Peavey Vypyr, did it improve? Check it out. Also have a great Friday!
your wall has a leak. you see the water streaks?
It was great
To be honest I often find it very difficult to hear the more subtle differences in sound on TH-cam videos. Also when you are using microphones the sound often seems verry muddy. Maybe it has something to do with how TH-cam compresses the videos when they are uploaded. So most of the times I just rely on what you're telling about the sound instead of relying on how a pedal or amp sounds in the videos on TH-cam.
Can you review *PEAVEY 6505 MH* ?
Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘🇵🇹
Ola The Improver
Performing a speaker transplant while the amp is still on is one of the most metal things I've ever witnessed.
Hot swapping = pure metal
Dang
Lol. That's a crazy Swede for ya!! Love him 🤘🤘🤘
Thats a precious way to be pure metal!!
Ola, the type of guy that doesn't even turn the amp off when changing the speaker.
Stressed me tf out haha
@@hibernativeyeah, a tube amp would have died from having no load connected.
@@Quetzalcoatl999 It is a good thing that we have better technology. Still, I would not want to have the power amp on while I am handling bare wire.
You can pop a solid-state amp doing that, too. I would have unplugged it, before doing the swap.
@@TheCyberMantis a fuse maybe but the whole amp is unlikely.
Ola using a Greenback so he wouldn’t have to pronounce Vintage Firty.
Who doesn't enjoy saying Wintage Firty?

@@trulsolsen683 LOL. You wouldn't happen to be the same Truls Olsen who served in Esk 4, Pbn in 2008 right?
@@Nghilifa I don't think so because I'd have been 7 at the time lmao
"Oh what's there. Oh. Struggling to find a hole. Just like in real life." 😂😂😂
Ola is the best.
I thought he said just like on a real wife either way off the cuff funny like always
and he's a pervert too
Cliche but still funny.
@@Mikau-gb8uo and he belches regularly too ! He's a metal dude who doesn't give a shit lol
Both sounds great. But I would go with the original speaker. Its quite brighter and wide.
This just proves to me that once again, a lot of a what makes a good amp is the speaker.
Speaker / cab does so much more for your sound instead of buying a crap load of amps .
Seen guys chasing a tone forever and then they put in a good speaker = different world.
I don't understand how people don't know this yet honestly.
@@MangoMeoww Yup, the speaker is what moves the air. People buy all kinds of headphones/speakers for music listening to chase musical valhalla but when it comes to guitar... haha
Yeah crazy how people will obsess over tone wood and tubes, but not pay attention to the speaker they're using. Yeah v30 works but there are other options.
Personally, it sounded just a little better with the regular speaker to me, however there are any number of factors that could be contributing to that. On my earbuds, it sounded like the original speaker did have some extra fuzz in the sound, I think it's personal preference as to which you like more, or not...
Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like you could get about the same effect as Ola did by changing to the Celstion speaker, just by turning the gain down a bit. Hahahaha.
My opinion is not the only right one. On another note, this guy's riffs are SICK!
I like the BASS response on this thing muhahaha
Hail satan!
Hey man!! Muhahaha
Sounds evil, right? 😈
How many people have sold their souls to you man?
Truly !!!
The original speaker wasnt bad at all, but the Celestion killed it especially after Ola tweaked the settings a bit
I got a peavy VYPYR 3 because you did the video of the stock speaker and the upgraded speaker I like the sound of the upgraded speaker so I’m going to do the upgrade thank you for what you do . You are a awesome guitarist I appreciate everything you and your videos are putting out there keep up the awesome work 👍👍👍👍
Man I've been waiting for this video since you did the original review. I actually just bought the Vypyr VIP 3 with the Sanpera II foot controller 3 months ago. I love doing upgrades and mods and before the amp even came in I was wondering about changing the speaker. This though... Really helped make up my mind. Thanks Ola you're the man!!!
"Ola changing shit!" 🎸🎶👀
Thanks for making this! I was really looking forward to the vid. Really looking forward to that next vid!
Great concept here. I have a Katana combo and was wondering the same. Would like the 4x12 hookup video. I enjoy tinkering like this!
Yes, this is the kind of stuff that floats my boat.
Love this "Upgrade" video idea, good job Ola!
It sounds cool, I always felt that amps with digital modelling were meant to have neutral sounding speakers, pretty much stereo speakers, so the cab sims can do their thing.
Thumbs up for Ola the swede helping out with budget gear.
I have one of the older model Vypyrs as my bedroom amp, and I tried connecting it to my 4x12. Impedence was the same (8 ohms) on the cab as the speaker but after about 2 or 3 minutes all sounds stopped. I shut it off and fired it back up and same thing. It may have just been me but for whatever reason the output section of my amp did not like pushing that large of a cab. Be careful and don't blow something up....the few minutes I got to mess with it sounded ok...or as ok as it can going through 4 celestion G12t-75s. Good luck and may the chug be with you.
I said on the last video i run my Vypyr 75 through a greenback and its hell on earth. So glad you did this.
I put my fender GTX 100 through my Line 6 Powercab + with a clean tube preamp (also with my Katana 100mkII) that I use with my Neural and STL laptop rig, and the difference is 💯 better!
I have an older Vypyer 75 that has been collecting dust that I am going to go dust off and try now! Thanks Ola! Awesome vid!
The midrange growl added with the heritage sounded great. Dropping a bunch of hissy treble frequencies was great too. I’d say it was an upgrade for sure
Thanks for following through!!!
Very interesting test. Thank you Ola 🙂
Honestly, I liked the first tone a lot, but maybe because my amplifiers are kind of cheap🤣🤘💯 ROCK ON OLA!
Agree
I liked the first one a lot more, sounds more aggressive to me.
The new speaker is obviously a lot darker with the same settings, but when he tweaked it a bit it sounded a lot better to my ears. Way more body and a more compact, punchy sound.
@@dreammfyre I'd say not all of us have the same preferences and that's awesome 👍🏻
That new speaker made a world of difference. It's like a whole new amp on a new higher level. I really want to go grab one of these Peaveys and try a G12k100 in it. Thanks for the vid!
Try an EVM 12L.
I really enjoyed this. It was really different and I was intrigued
I fucking love my vypyr dude. Peavey makes the good shit for sure. Ola you fucking kill it too man. I always watch these videos man they help me get through chemo and keep me motivated to play guitar on days when Im not doing so good. Thanks man 🤘
Great video, I've been thinking of switching the speaker on my ValveKing 112 for awhile and I think this is a nice comparison for that.
Another great video, thanks Ola
Awesome video Ola!🤘💯
Yeah, seems like the bass response did get better. Especially the low end. Damn, may have to try this with my Line 6.
Try it, line 6s have mediocore speakers.
I have the Valve king, but never had payed attention to this amp before, It sounds amazing
It does sound better. I recently pulled the stock speaker out of my 6505+ 112 combo and put in a Peavey Scorpion speaker. Took away all the shrill high frequencies and got me more punch and clarity! The Peavey Scorpion speakers rule and I bought two of them for $40 on craigslist.
That’s crazy! I’m in the process of doing this myself, except on the VIP1 with an 8 inch speaker.
It sounds immediately better! although the high response was the first thing to notice that change i get impressed with that bass definition when you chug. Great video man! looking forward to see what happen with a 4x12 cab
Word up Ola!! This vid shows once again just how much the speakers have on your guitar sound. If i was to record with mic's on the amp, I think it would be worth the speaker swap. Rock on all!
A lot more low end and a lot less sizzle. Very well rounded. Would love to hear the difference on this amp between the g12 Heritage and a g12 v30.
I actually tracked bass for a song one time using the Viper and can confirm it actually worked pretty well
Really enjoyed this video! I’m intrigued what a 4x12 with V30s in it would sound like! 🇬🇧
Wow that's a huge difference with the new Celestion👍 see I've owned one of these amps and one of the things I hated about it was the cheesy POS speaker! I'm impressed it sounds much much better like Ola said it sounds like a real combo amp now. Awesome great job sir 🤘
I bought this amp at a pawn shop and talked them down to $80.00. It’s a great amp, I am a keyboard player and I’ve played my keyboard thru this at small gigs. I also use it practice my bass and guitar at home, but I’m sure it’s loud enough for the stage, when its mic’d.
Enjoying the upgrade theme.
I have an older Peavey Vypyr 30 and I swapped the stock speaker (Blue Marvel) with a Eminence Governor. It rounded out the tone a little and gave it more "oomph", a worthy upgrade. The old speaker tone would get lost playing live, whereas a better speaker helped the tone come through much better. The Vypyr 30 isn't an overly loud amp so it didn't help volume-wise.
I also tested the same combo with a 2x12 Zilla cab which was a huge improvement. The speaker change was one thing, but a hefty cab made all the difference. I may be tempted to get the Vypyr converted into a head sometime, as changing the cabinet was by far the biggest improvement.
Actually worked really well in that combo. I’m surprised since Greenbacks don’t normally like open-back 1x12 kind of applications. They get woofy. I do hear some of that in the lower mids (should be easy to dial out), but overall it’s a really nice improvement and gets rid of the nasty hair and fizz.
First speaker sounded good by itself. I can imagine the GM12 fit much better in the mix.
I really liked the sound with the upgraded speaker now I’m going the go buy a peavy vypyr and upothe speaker your the best oh yah love your dog congratulations he’s beautiful love everything your doing with your you tube show metal onnnn 🤘
Cool vid Ola. I really dig those little Vypyr's. For like a month I've been thinking about installing a celestion in mine too. That or keep the Celestion in my Line6. Keep it on the clean channel and buy the EVH overdrive pedal. Hmmm...Decisions. So funny to see this vid. The universe is speaking to me lol. Cheers Ola! 🤘🏼🎸
The greenbacks are the smoothest, creamiest sounding speakers IMO I love them
Take the Roland micro cube and make an external output and plug it in a 4x12 closed back and see how it sounds.
This
Or a Marshall ms2
@@theunholybakery1990 I've done it with an MS-2, its exactly what you'd expect
Dude! It definitely makes a difference on the viewer end! My 17 y/o wants to learn, and this is a great solution to purchasing a crappy ‘Starter Pack’ ! Cheers! Keep it going dude! -Chris
As a small time guitar dealer I can definitely tell you that if you get our child the VYPYR, it will not only last for years, the amp will be able to grow as their abilities grow.
What I mean by that is after mastering the basics of guitar they can start adding more effects. There is also a USB out available on it. And, the Sampera foot controller, either the small or big one, REALLY opens the amplifier's capabilities up.
Good luck my friend!
Check out the katana artist and blackstar silverline, i have both and love them dearly.
Great video bro. Refreshing....
The Peavey Vypyr Pro 100 is hugely underrated as well. The distortion is very nice!
i love the woofyness of the celestion but love the presence of the og speaker
I own this Amp and have to admit that I'm biased. I use it for both guitar and bass and I'm in love with the amp as it comes from Peavey. I will say that I've been eyeballing purchasing the Solar e1.7 cannibalismo guitar and hearing the e1.6 through it has confirmed that it will absolutely be my next guitar purchase.
Definitely an improvement. The new speaker sounds much tighter with much less of that top end staticy fuzz.
Sounded way better after. I was thinking of changing out my speaker in a 6505+ combo. Definitely going to do that now.
to everyone who is looking to change speakers in their combo oder cabinet:
DON'T FORGET THAT THE SPEAKER WILL NEED A BREAK-IN PERIOD BEFORE SOUNDING LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO.
Don't be mad if it doesn't sound like you expected it, when you first change it.
It will change over time.
He put an under powered speaker in it, imo.
@seanhammer6296 it being lower power means that it will reach the highest sound pressure faster.
It sounded very metal man I love it man makes me want to go out and buy one thanks Ola you are so cool thanks thanks for all your videos man
I switched out the stock speaker with a V30 and I am absolutely impressed! Much better clarity and is very close tone wise to my EVH 5150 III but with just a tad less bass on the 6505 setting. I just had the V30 speaker sitting around but if I were to do it again I think an Eminence Governor would be even better, although similar.
Was it a British or Chinese v30? I have a harley benton 1x12 with a v30 but its the Chinese one. The ones in the mesa cabs are British. I'm thinking of switching the stock speaker out for the Chinese speaker I have not being used. But I like using the vip 2 for bass as well.
OMG, I dig this with the new speaker.
Thank you.... i love this amp
Nice. I've got a Celestion 70/80 in my stuff. Was thinking about swapping the speaker in my Vypyr. Did not realize the stock speaker was for bass, too (I should have, though). Looks like I'll install a switching jack as a cabinet out since the 70/80 is in a separate cab right now.
Laughed way too hard at the "struggling to find the hole" comment.
A friend of mine has the small Peavy Vypyr (w/out the lcd screen) and we both agree that the bass response was just too much. he likes to play rock riffs and choruses, where I like to drop D + palm mute everything, yet I couldn't help but chuckle when a stock Washburn Stratocaster was making the walls reverberate.
Good video for the versatile amp! Now I can tell him to save up for a Celestion speaker.
or an eminence dv-77 >:D
I've been waiting for this one ! I have one of these same modal amps setting on a shelf. Maybe I'll do the same.
I like this upgrade video. Upgrade videos rock for us budget guys. Haha
Hi Ola, love your work! :-)
Ola's goes from chugga chug, to Darkthrone and back to chugga again. Thats metal.
The tube power section on the Vypyr Tube models smooths out some of that harshness already. I think the cabinet of the Tube 60 combo may be a bit bigger as well even though it's also a 112. The 120W Vypyr Tube combo was a 212 and I'd imagine that'd have some more bottom end too. The tube models do not work with the peavey vypyr edit software though that the newer vypyrs had if you really want that feature.
Much gooder with the new speaker IMO too.
As for the "IR infront of the speaker" that might actually also be true. I remember the original vypyr series got a software update where you could set 4 different sounding modes. Also an Idea instead of switching speaker: add a jack socket. I still plan to do that for mine...
I have a 1st gen vypyr still laying around. I am glad to see they took the stupid plastic fangs off of the newer ones. I had to remove that mess myself.
wait I have an older vypyr too (100w), what fangs?
Great video, dude.
Ola ! Great job 👍 keep it up you crazy Swede brother rocker oh mine! Great video on the speaker upgrade for the 40 w iconic evh combo!! Any other suggestions on speakers? 🤘🤘✌️✌️🎵🎸🎵🎸
Great shit, Ola, as always! 🤘🏻 You should do more this kind of gear modding and some frankenstein stuff videos, they are really interesting.
”Ola pimpin’ shit”
I switched the speaker in my Katana 50 mk2 to a vintage 30, and it made it sound great. I highly recomend.
I added a eminence governor to my tube vypyr and its sounds excellent
The Peavey speakers can be
Very good depending on the
Application. I have a 25 year
Old Peavey Blues 210 with
Two 10 inch blue marvel
Speakers. They really deliver
A great sound. Lots of comments
And compliments over the
Years.
it surprises me that so many of the commentators here didn't account for one thing. Ola bought this amp used, meaning the original speaker is broken in. The new Celestion is not.... it will sound even better after it's "broken in". Totally worth the upgrade to my ears.
These vypyrs are one of the few modeling amps i would swap the speakers on. Line 6 usually dont do well with swapping the speaker in the combos because they are voiced for modeling but Peavey use their standard voiced speakers with this line of amps so the swap sounds great.
Because the vypyr is using a real guitar speaker like the boss katana? The other modeling amps use full range speaker with cab sims. well the spider got an upgrade where u can turn off the tweeter and make it sound like a guitar speaker.
badass. gonna do mine
sounds good . . I like my Peavey Vypyr 15 . . . I just got a Fender FM 212 for $ 85. the best deal of the year . . .sounds very good.
I've heard similar results when people put a V30 in a Boss Katana. I think these modern modeling amplifiers come with near-FRFR speakers because the output section of whatever model being used has its own EQ curve.
Newer speakers are better than the older.
@@user-be9ey4jb3ckatana speakers are wide band speakers which means that they need modified signal. Otherwise there will be a lot of high end noise that is filtered by the guitar speakers (5-6k and up)
You know what would be awesome? If Solar guitars made a Dimebag shaped guitar, that would be badass!🤘
Great great videoooooo Ola 🤘🏻
Damn alot of love for the vypyr. 🤘
Just remembered you couldn't turn off or change cab sims on the vypyrs but on the originals(15,30,75,100, tube60 and tube120) you could change the speaker "voicing" by holding down one of the four preset buttons while turning the amp on. It has been a while since i had them as they were sold to help pay for their replacements which were the red stripe bandit that i mentioned earlier and a Supreme XL head. I really liked all 4 of those peavey solid state amps and if the price was right would buy all again. Liked the bandit and supreme xl so much I would play a piranha thru the bandit/Supremes power amp until i got rid of the piranha while keeping the other 2. Sadly I ended selling them both to fund an Ultra 410 which I ran combined with the ms412 for a 4×10/4×12 "full stack" which is still my favorite rig that ive owned \m/ with a joyo vintage OD up front and fish and chips EQ in the loop it was metal AF
I have mine hooked up to a Marshall 4x12. It's a great amp
The Vypyr sounds amazing. Damn.
Sound is better than BEFORE
I had an original vypyr 15 and an original vypyr 30. I connected the 30 to the speaker of a red stripe bandit to make a ghetto 2x12 separate cab vertical stack. I also ran both the 15 and 30 on different occasions into a Peavey MS 4x12. I always turned off the cab sims while doing this with both amps and cabs. To me I always thought it sounded pretty decent for what it was and probably would have been even better with different speakers than the sheffields in the bandit and the 4x12. I always liked running an overdrive in front of the vypyrs(bandit too) which again to me improved the tone. Being a broke joke bedroom player I used cheap clones of ts9 ts808 and a boss sd1 but was still able to get metal tones as heavy as your moms cast iron frying pan. And before anyone wants to clown about running an OD in front of a solid state amp try playing with one in front of the vypyrs or the bandit as well because not only does it work but sounds good too and much better than the TSC setting on the vypyr 30. I would love to hear Ola run his vypyr through a Mesa 4×12 and maybe a couple of different ODs up front
I also have the original Vypyr 15 and 30w but i never heard of a way to turn off the amp sims on these amps,how did you do it with your Vypyr amps?
Ahh nice. I'm going to have to switch the speaker on mine. I use to play bass through it but use something different now. I also love speakers and have a bunch around including the one you used. Teeheeeeeeeeee
I have 2 first gen vipers and they are awesome
Great vid, great amp.. Please Ola could you make the test of the old Peavey 5150 212 combo🙏🙏🙏
His face every time that he adjusts the amp and gets a slightly better tone is priceless hahaha
Nice playing I got the viper 30 .that thing is great sounding amp .if a speaker change makes it better it's one hell of a amp I'm in the market for another one to play in my room .wazz thinking of trying the boss katana 50 or black star
Snagged a 60w tube version. Haven’t played it yet, but as soon as I saw there was a triple X preamp mode, I knew I had to get one…. Also, it has a Krankenstein preamp mode in it, so I really want to compare that to my Krank as well! 🤘🤘
Never liked "explorers" but I think I might have to have that one. Good God that guitar looks wild
