Peavey -Vypyr 30 Review - It is a 30W Solid State Modeling Amplifier which Peavey claims to be 'the most technologically advanced and affordable guitar modeling amplifier available'. Featuring 24 amp channel models -- both the clean and distorted channels of 12 popular amps for the first time anywhere -- plus 11 editable preamp "stomp box" effects and 11 editable post-amp "rack" effects with dual-parameter control. Players can use up to five effects simultaneously. When used with the optional Peavey Sanpera™ foot controller, the possibilities further expand from 12 in-amp presets to 400 programmable presets, with an on-board looper and more. 32-bit floating point Sharc processor. Studio quality headphone out. MIDI in/out. MP3/CD/Aux input. The entire six-model Vypyr® Series features the easy-to-use Peavey WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) interface. I've been getting some great sounds with an Ibanex GRX20, which is a budget instrument ($170), but it does the job for sure! The amp can do so much...You can sit and fiddle with it for hours, creating incredible tones. Now all I need is to buy the Sanpera II Foot Controller. The Sanpera II allows the user to remotely control virtually any feature of the Vypyr Series modeling amplifiers, and increases the preset storage from 12 in-amp presets to an astounding 400 programmable presets. This controller features dual, assignable expression pedals with tap switches, dedicated tap tempo and looper control, as well as footswitches for accessing presets, preamp "stompbox" effects, post-amp "rack" effects, delay and reverb. There's so much power in the Vypyr 30, that I don't need anything more than that. I suppose if I were to start playing live gigs with it, I might go up in wattage a bit...The Vypyr Amps are 15w, 30w, 60w, 75w, 100w, and 120w. With an input for my MP3 player and the great-sounding headphone jack, I've got all the amp I need... I recommend the Vypyr line; Nice work, Peavey! read more

Terrible labor practices. Products can't live up to their reputation from decades ago. You're better off spending your money somewhere else.

Also just saw undercover boss - horrible - i can't even believe they had the nerve to televise it. i have a peavey amp, but no more. ridiculous. read more

We bought a Peavey Escort 3000 and it was a piece of junk. Peavey, however, gave us an entirely new unit and it works great!

Purchased a speaker basket from Zzounds 8 months ago for $137.00. Last gig speaker was rattling, disassembled and noted a manufacturing flaw in the voice coil. Contacted Peavey customer support with pictures and receipt. Took them 5 days to respond to email was impossibility to get anyone on the phone. Received an email from rep Mike Brown who informed me "Just cut it and flatten it out" I am NOT in the speaker repair business, now the speaker doesn't work at all and contacted Mike Brown via email and was informed to take it back to where I purchased it! Any idiot knows you can NOT do returns after 90 days. Flat out refusing to stand behind the product warranty. They are not the company they once were and now everything is made in China. The only reason I hang onto these is the fact they were made ion America. read more
