Peavey Vypyr VIP 3 – 100 Watt Amplifier
Once again Peavey Electronics revolutionizes the modeling amp industry. Introducing the world’s first Variable Instrument Performance amplifier, the VYPYR V.I.P. The world’s first amp that contains Bass guitar, Acoustic guitar and Electric guitar amplifier models. Now for the first time ever using our Variable Instrument Input a single amp can provide amplification for a variety of instrument types. Not only does the amplifier morph from a bass amp to an acoustic amp, to an electric amp. It also, for the first time ever in an amplifier in this category, allows the electric guitar player access to instrument models as well. Using appropriate technology, Peavey uses a combination of powerful 32-bit, floating point SHARC processors and patented Transtube analog circuitry to create the best sounding modeling amplifiers available. Nothing sounds as good as a VYPYR. All VYPYR effects, amp models and parameter controls can be accessed via the amp itself, with no need to hook the amplifier to a computer. Peavey’s WYSIWYG control surface quickly allows the user the ability to see and adjust the control position, no guessing where the control is supposed to be, or having to manually move it to where it should be preset to preset. VYPYRs new USB bi-directional data and audio port provides and easy way to record, and or connect to our VYPYR software and store presets, get lessons, and practice to backing tracks while connected to your computer. All of the revolutionary features from the original VYPYR series now even better. More power, more effects, more amp models, Variable Instrument Input, instrument models, and more make this the ultimate amplifier.

I’ve tried them all! I had a Vox Valvetronix, that I used as my practice-modeling Amp. The Valve went on the thing. I went to Guitar Center & tried ALL the modeling amps. The Marshall, the Orange, the Fender Mustang, the Blackstar… the ONLY ones that I’ve ever liked in terms of “modeling”, is the Fender Mustang & The Peavey Vypyr. I am a Metal Head & the Peavey just made sense for me. The sounds out of this thing are quite simply amazing!I am talking Crazy Distortion, but also VERY controlled and…
Nice! An amazing amplifier! The big question I had with the 20 watt version was, will this be loud enough on stage when being mic’d through the PA. Yes. It delivered very well. Of course when playing to a crowd larger than 100 people, you will mic it through the PA. Most sound engineers I work with insist on that arrangement anyway because your amp becomes your on stage monitor and they can control the mix from the board. This amp is great for practice, with my acoustic and when shredding on…
I highly recommend purchasing the Sanpera foot controller along with this amplifier
