That amp sounds HUGE for its size AND price! This would be a nice, lightweight package for us older folks with bad backs who want to keep playing out, but need to lighten the load. These amps can be miked or fed directly into the PA system and deliver all the sound you need!
That’s what I do it works good
When you said that this was made in 2012 it made me realize how much time has passed its already 2016
I was thinking about the same thing as I'm surfing around on amps and guitars
Same, lol, this amp has been updated a few times already.
#2017squad
now its 2017 XD
2018 ! 💀
I've used this the day I started playing and 5 years after. It's the absolute perfect starter amp because you can play around with tones and effects.
It's true I used this amp at a few shows and everyone was shocked that this huge brutal tone came out of this little box.
That guitar is like 80's miami meets Jersey
I just bought a leftover one of these in a box from a dealer on ebay for $75. It rocks, and I saved $54 over the new VIP Peavey replacement model!
Now it's 2020, I still got it, and still kicking! With my custom Stratocaster HH.
How does the krank amp sound?
Its 2018 bought it used $30, slapped on the 10" 75 watt rajun cajun by Eminence speaker and its Twice as loud and clearer its 8ohm so it runs cooler and puts it at 37ish watts. Sounds better than my Orange 35 watt combo. Love the different amps
Great video. I have this Amp and I don't even know still how to kick the hell outta it :). I'm still learner due work, study and family constraints. Keep it up!
I still have mine! 13 years later and I’m rocking my Floyd equipped Jackson Kelly JS32 with it! Sounds badass!
Peavey has always done a great job for working stiffs. Can't count the number of guys still using those great little PV Bandit 1-12 amps
Nice Video TTK. I love the amp. You can't come close to anything like it for the price. You will definitely pay more and get way less. I have the Vypyr 75W and have loved it. It's packed with effects and it sounds great. Way more power than I need but I can plug straight into a pc, etc. to record. Love it! I also have a 15W Roland that sounds nice but no way near the versatility and amount of effects. The Vypyr Rocks!
Just used my 1st gen 15 watt amp. Love the little guy, i want ALL the 1st gen amps
I bought one a couple days ago....man my new best friend I cant put it down. Buy one you will not be sorry. Wow, kick ass .crank it up
the vypyr review was what brought me to your channel in the first place :)
Tried one in a music shop today with a tele, ibanez 7 string with emgs, and a epiphone les paul. Sounded super cool. It can do just about anything.
TK -- Shoot this out against the Fender Mustang amp.
Rock on !!
I remember the Vypyr video, it was THE reason I bought my first, a Vypyr tube 120. Now I have it's little brother, the 30W, and they are both great. Thank you for the great videos. I can't make the live webcast so rock on now!!!!! Kidpip.
I gotta say I'm impressed by this little Vypyr. I never paid it any attention but I think i made a mistake. You really need to delve into the gain side of this with effects. I'm gonna have to look into these.
I had one of these and loved ig. I want to get another one. Only reason I got rid of it was I went back to playing drums and sold it for drum equipment. But it was and is a killer amp. If they made a rack mount verison of it I would talk my guitar players into running them. Nothing but good things to say about this amp. And it puts the spider 4 to shame.
I have this amp and it works so good with a pair of headphones,an aux cord,and a backing track
do you know where can I buy one too because I cant find it anywhere..
+VanjelThe AnusDestroyer you can find them online like the other guy said you can find them new and used online. I actually got mine around 2011 ish. there is now a newer model which I have played, and I'm not to convinced that they made a better one. its about the same as the old one, a bit better look I guess. awesome amp though..endless combinations
I just bought one for $25. I cannot believe how good it sounds! The SC x2 I had sounded very boxed in and tiny. This thing sounds like a way bigger amp, and is plenty loud. I cant stand the look of the face and Ill be giving it a new home with a 12", and it will kick some ass.
I bought this amp last one in store with no instructions. I need to learn how to get more out of this amp.
Hell yes... Peavey bandits were the staple amp of the gigging guitarist when I started playing!
I recently bought The Vypyr 2x12 100 watt Solid State. I love iut now on the 15 it does not have the 12 stomp box preamp effects that are analog like my amp does. I think you get the Stomp box pres starting on the 30 watt versions. I will say this its amazing I got rid of my Line6 Spider 210 120 watt and bought this and would never go back to the line6. My Vypyr sounds like a tube amp the sounds Im able to get from this amp all in one unit is phenomenal. Great as always TTK Thanks Bro!!
As long as you're not playing at high levels, this little fucker is absolutely amazing for distortion loving players, and hell even clean channel/funk and more.
I actually play this little guy with my Les Paul Studio and it replaced a Orange Tiny Terror I had in just a lounge room as my go to farting around amp.
The only pedal you need would be for switching out channels on the fly honestly, as this thing is capable of fantastic tones and distortion free of any Tube Screamer pedals or pedal mods, right off the 6505 and utterly fantastic 6534 channels.
A noise gate/suppressor might be needed for active pick ups on those channels, but I run a noise suppressor through my 5150 EVH Block Head using just the built in distortion with my ESP/LTD EC-1000 with the EMG 81/85 pick ups anyways.
If this thing had a Marshall 1960a speaker thrown in replace of it's current one, it would without a doubt be the best distortion amp in it's class, up until around the $500 mark honestly.
(Given at the $500 mark you can buy an all tube 5150 and 6505 combo, but loose the versatility of this little guy in sacrifice of having a pedal loop station).
My only complaint is the general ugliness of newer Peavy products and that the chromatic tuner built within, isn't good for low tuning, such as C tuning for heavier music.
Through on a Boss Chromatic Tuner and you're good to go.
Another note is that I tried this on a cheaper guitar, an Ibanez (S series?) Les Paul copy cat, (with no mods/changes, other than the enamel painted neck being stripped down to wood) which goes for around $300 USD, and even that sounds fantastic on this.
You must be tone deaf.
Wow i just picked one of these up for £26.00, sounds great thanks for the video
It's funny every time I play guitar with my friends they spend all night trying to get the sound I'm gettin with my old black front vyper. I have a bunch of tube amps. My back is not so good anymore. I don't want to carry a big hevey amp like they do. It's funny
Wtffff I’ve had this amp for a while i didn’t even know about all this lmao, I found it in my front yard one day and the back was missing but an amps an amp
It comes without the back so you can replace the speaker easy
Lol what the fook
TRY setting; K-Stein (red)- Pre and post full cranked - slight scoop on midrange - Delay feedback third light on with level 6 light on- adjust tap tempo- It's one Badazz setting
I have the vypyr 30w and for the money it sounds nice and is versatile. Not amazing, but its cost effective. For the price you really can't go wrong.
My bands frontman/rhythm guitarist uses the 30w version of this with a Boss ML-2. It's a beauty of a tone, and an incredibly good amp.
This is the amp I throw into the trunk when I head to the lake for the weekend. Sounds good, has everything I need, light weight, and if someone spills beer all over it...I am only out a $100 (or whoever did the spilling). It blows those "micro amps" like the Line 6 with the 6" speaker or the Vox equivalent right out of the water (get it? Lake...water? lol ). I love it!
I'm gonna buy this baby... Was planning on buying a phone but this amp kicked out the thought of buying phone...
Really awesome amp... Amazing features suits my genre a..
BTW peavey vyper ??
Man, I have this amp and I love it!!! You can plug your phone into it and play with backing tracks. The distortion rocks. And the clean Chanel's sound great too.
whiteschecter thanks I'm loving it
Is it good? Also does it sound good for hard rock tones?
I used to have an old Selmer valve amp which was the size of a wardrobe but only had volume,master treble and bass on it, the sounf was immense but the tone was dire. this is great!!!!!
you didn't know what you had....you could have coaxed some more treble and upper mids out of it and wound up with a signature tone
I sold it for about £100!!!!
Your video has improved 100% since the Old Days and your playing has improved too. At least you can hear the improvement in your playing, with me I'm in a stage of lazyness. With my arthritis I have good & bad days and the bad days just make me just want to polish the guitars. LOL I really need to commit to at least 30 min a day of pure practice, scales, theory & stuff like that. Anyway, great video TK.
Ive had a Peavy inter series raptor 1 guitar for years and they are great budget guitars as the tremolo is super and sound and it is a strat with their own tweak on it super sound it's actually better than most of the squier guitars I e tried I still keep it for the tremolo
I love this guy! Such a nice bloke and loves his guitar gear!
I've found that to give the Vypyr amps a fuller sound it's best to crank the post gain control on most models.
Ok so I bought this at a garage sale for $30, I'm a bassist but I couldn't pass it up. I find that it makes a great little practice amp right next to my bed. My question is -
How do I defeat all the effects and basically just have a little amp that pushes a fairly generic bass sound? I think this is an awesome little amp and well worth $100. I played around with it for a bit and got the desired sound needed. However I'm getting about a 5 second delayed repeat of everything I play.
The Roland GX is good u can plug your phone in to the amp and go on you tube and play along with ure favourite backing tracks wher you play the lead ...it actually comes out the amp so your guitar sounds like it's on the record I first played pink Floyd comfortabley numb guitar solo version of the live pulse record David gilmour..is replaced by... you...a great practice amp
This because the analog distortion and preset effects make it a seriously good sound for 99$ with all the presets so you can practice with changing levels.
I had four Peavey Vypyrs over the course of a year. Had nothing but problems with all of them, even with the latest firmware. As in, got one, took it back, got an exchange, took it back, waited a year, got one, took it back, got an exchange, took it back. Now I won't touch Peavey products. Still giving the review a thumbs-up though because it was a good review even if I don't care for the product.
Okay, here's a good test to consider: Fender Mustang, Roland Cube, and Line 6. Maybe toss in a Vox VT if ya need to stuff something else in there. I bet Vypyr will still come out ahead.
Man have you improved in your playing abilities tone king!
bought this as my 1st amp over a year ago, and it kicks ass \m/
Thanks for the good representation for a low budget amp. Sounds as if it's an alright medium, tone-wise amp.
Enjoy this channel, friend. Keep up the good work
Peavey rocks. The vypyr line is great for any budget
Very nice Amp TTK. For the money you can't go wrong. I like the sound and the size. Good personal amp.
Only thing I did not like about this was how much there was going on with each knob. Was looking for something to drag a lot to jam.
The volume is pretty good for light jam sessions (no crazy drummers or electronics) and it's really portable. It has a LOT of options and it's a little sensitive. Hard to see in a dark room. I also used a label maker to add text to help underneath. Presets are your friend! If you set them ahead of time, you can make tone and gain adjustments on the fly pretty easily. I'd probably get the amp model that works the best for whatever you're trying to do and go for the preset tone and gain positions to be as close to high noon as possible. This makes it easy to adjust depending on the situation. Effects are a tricky to make adjustments to in real time. But there are plenty of presets available so you can set some of them up with effects as well.
FUNNY THAT THE XXX IS JUST THE JSX BECAUSE JOE LEFT PEAVEY AND WENT TO MARSHALL, SAME THING WHEN EVH LEFT PEAVEY AND THE 5150 WAS CHANGED TO THE 6505
MB215 I have this exact amp (got it in 2010) thing is peavey no longer produces this amp the vypyr line was redesigned, and features from this one were removed altogether
The jsx was the xxx before joe. It returned to it when he split.
Yes... But the mics never catch the song as good as the recording outputt.
But you are right. Using the recording out may make the amp sound better then it might be...
GREAT REVIEW/DEMO AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE VIDEO OF CLEAN SOUNDS !!!! YOU ROCK !!!!!!
I swapped the stock speaker for a Blue Marvel and I am never going back ;)
I'd like to see you play it with a lower-priced guitar like your new Jay Turser seven string. That would also let us hear how it sounds with lower tunings. Also, I'd like to hear how the amp's speaker sounds.
Your playing is very good in this one.
ONLY THING THAT SUCKS ABOUT THE 15WATT VYPYR IS THAT YOU DONT GET THE EXTRA BANK OF STOMPBOX EFFECTS LIKE THE TUBESCREAMER AND THE WYLDE OVERDRIVE AND THE ANALOG PHASER AND CHOURUS AND THE REST OF THEM, IF ANYONE IS GONA GET THIS AMP DEFINITELY GET AT LEAST THE 30 WATT VERSIONOR BIGGER BECAUSE THATS WHERE YOU GET THE STOMPBOX EFFECTS
I would rather spend time playing then messing with an amp. I love Peavey and the TransTube technology. But prefer the Rage,Envoy,or bandit with an added overdrive pedal for a little extra gain. Much like Zakk Wilde does with his Marshall’s. After that a couple of effects and a wah. The sound is real and not complicated
Here we are in 2012.
hey men, i always see your videos and they are very useful and not borring like others.
May be you can compare this vypyr and the vypyr tube, it just an idea
You my friend sold me on this one nice shredding
@danizappa First of all, be very careful about judging tones based on TH-cam audio. It is very compressed and not a true representation of what it really sounds like. Second, the answer to your question is yes, it can be infinitely tweaked to get whatever sound you like. TTK is just giving you one sample. Third, play one yourself. Guitar Center and many others carry this amp. You may be pleasantly surprised!
They discontinued the series, RIP Vypyr. your awesome tones will not be forgotten.
i have the 30W version, Im not really happy with the range of sounds. It indeed has a nice clean tone, but the low gain amp distortion sounds dont sound real good through the speaker. Ive noticed everything sounds fatter through the headphone jack. the speaker is pretty meh, but VERY loud. but the delay and reverb this has are very good and very easy to use. doesnt really matter if it doesnt have tubes, this is pretty much the best $100 amp out there and the vypyr 30 is the best at $200.
I'd say go for the special 2 and the peavey vypyr. I used to have an epiphone les paul and one of these amps and I loved it.
Depends which version, I've owned a peavey vypyr 15 and fender mustang ii 15 and a spider iv 75. the spider sounded the best out of all of them and with the most features (such as being able to plug into ur pc and upload settings and update the effects and sounds). The vypyr and the mustang ii are long gone and I cant say I really miss them. Though there is also the watt difference and therefore price difference.
@hahafender Couple things. TTK comes on gives product reviews. He also does not play any copyrighted material on reviews because Im sure people would report hes playing copyrighted material and he would get tossed off of here.he provides us with amp sounds and some improvisation! This is about the product the sound not his musical skills. I use his product reviews all the time in purchases. Also We Are The Tone King Army so i suggest you find a Rusty Cooley video to watch!! Thanks DB
he stops talking at 5 and a half minutes in.
Only bad thing is the "bank/presets/tap tempo" buttons are small and black on black background. ...I painted white. now is better! :))))
@femaledeer I own both. The Vypyr is more feature rich, but the Mustang has a better overall tone. You can't go wrong with either one, really.
I just ordered the amp. I'm so excited!!!!!!! :D It sounds great!!
I've had the Vyper75 for about 4 years now. Not a big fan of the tone. Jack of all trades, master of none kind of situation for me. After a while, that constant switching and fiddling is actually a pain in the neck. Anyone else feel the same?
Yes i totally agree! I just sold it for $230 . The distortion sounds way too fuzzy once you crank it up it makes that nasty feedback noise. It works great using a noise supressor but that's to much shit to deal with. I feel if you are gonna buy an amp that's over 200 it better sound good and not have to buy extra pedals when you can just get a cheap/crappy amp that has a good clean and set up a distortion pedal and a few others. I'm getting the Blackstar ht 40.
Mini Tube amp shoot out. For example, Orange tiny terror against the Blackstar HT-5
have one since 1995 , solid everlasting
Hey you should do one over one of those really old Peavey Maces... Like the ones Skynyrd and Molly Hatchet used
Enjoyed that one, a lotta kick for not much cash
TK, just out of interest would you consider miking an amp with an SM57 in front of the speaker?, If not its cool i only have an SM57 :P still love the demo's keep em coming :D
If you have lots of effect pedals then the Marshall if not I would suggest this.
I have a vypyr 100, it has hiss, which is annoying, BUT, the knobs with the lights on them now don't work! I have to turn them like I'm cracking a safe! I HATE modeling amps cause in theory, computers have issues, so why would I want a guitar amp that is a computer. I had a fender mustang amp and liked it, but it was too digital too. I just want a straight solid state or tube amp, or tube powered ss (hybrid) amp
get the vypyr tube 60, you probly probably have too much gain cause I have the tube 60 and it makes no noise at all when I'm not playing and I play with the volume at about 1 or 2 o'clock which is LOUD
not sure if the new Marshall MG15 is 99bucks, but it would be cool to see if the new MG4 range sounds better than its MG series predecessor in a shoot-out
I paid $89.00 new THE BEST AMP for the Money comes w/the same top of the line Motorola Processor as its Big brothers , you can mod it to get the extra stomp box fx & looper thats on the bigger ones UNREAL little AMP!!!!!! I had'nt turn on any of my tube amps since I got this little MARVAL FORGET Line 6, Vox valvetronix.........
great video as always, TTK!
I would like to see a shoot out (it's gonna be hard) of the effects of this amp and an average/beginners (non boutique of course) effect from the same type.
i.e the chorus on the amp vs Boss CH-1
Really wish i got this rather than my Roland 20XL oh well, might see if i can get it in a years time
I am deciding between those two exact same amps. What makes the Peavey better?
I think it has better distortion effects, more choice and more control over the tones you can get
I'm all distortion so I'll go for the Peavey, thanks for the help!
I actually think doing some modeling amps would be cool. I'd especially like to see the Line 6 Mark II 212, I've been interested in them.
i think actually you can do that. some of the marshall models are pretty similar to the sound of slash
Compare Behringher and Peavey modelling amps...that would be interesting.
I have the 30w and i love it!!! I would like to see you choose your fav amp model and tweak it to YOUR tone...very interested to see what "the tone king" can come up with! :-)
Thinking of getting this
Never used to like the sound that peavey amps gave me. Then I discovered the solid state peavey bandit. What an amp I love it to death definitly brought my interest into the peavey lineup of amps. Just wondering if you have done anything or plan on doing anything with the bandit?
I've got one and love it. Highly recommended.
New pickups look GREAT!!
Thanks for the input.
A Shoot out between the vyper and the mustang 1 would be kewl to see
I'm kind of torn between a new Spider IV and this so that would really help a lot.
had this amp for years. Honestly I've never liked it. Biggest issue is it's unusably loud. I mean earsplitting loud with the master on 1. Only useable amp is are the fender copies. Luckily i use them more. Also, since i play mostly clean and blues if i'd understood what sort of music i'd be playing more (i was a beginner) i'd have gotten probably a fender amp or something more towards the non overdrive tones. Through headphones a few models are usable but i don't do that often. Regardless I hear it's good for metal. But i just don't have the ability to play super loud nor do i play a lot of really distorted music styles.
PS we r talking 30+ yr old solid state that sounds like tube and still going strong.
you literally shredded for the 1st minutes
I would like to hear if it can do an american metal tone like the Blackstar series one. I don't hear much gain or crunch in any of the tones so far.
Standard solid state vypyr amps rule, I use the 30w and sanpera 2 pedal there is nothing better
