Cool! Those will compete with the Vox series when I go to get one for my son to replace his Aria/Fullerton strat pack one.
My buddy who runs the local store was showing me the brochures for the new Vypyr amps from Peavey. They are quite inexpensive.

They are modeling amps, and will compete with Vox, Fender, Roland, Line 6, etc. Since the price is low on these amps, the competition between these brands of modeling amps is going to be more fierce than ever. That is, if these amps sound any good. I don't know yet, but Peavey seems to know how to make good amps.
With double the processing power, models and effects of competitive modeling amplifiers, the VYPYR Series dramatically redefines the power and scope of modern guitar amplification. VYPYR amplifiers are based on powerful 32-bit, floating-point SHARC processors that enable highly detailed, accurate modeling as well as vastly enhanced flexibility and features than ever before available in guitar amplification.
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. The VYPYR also acts as its own computer audio interface, with a built-in studio-quality USB 2.0 output on most models that is recognized by computers as an audio device. The entire six-model VYPYR Series features the e

Ha! Tele-ish now inbound.
Yeah, they could be the Line 6 and Vox Valvetronix killer!

Well, since Derek is fired up to keep playing and will need something better than the little thing included with the Fullerton, I went and looked at these more. The Vypyr 30 looks a good fit, but adding a 6L6 tube in the Vypyr 60 makes it tempting. We will have to see about the street price. It also saves on buying another looper and pedal tuner since those are onboard, plus you figure at least some of the effects will be decent. Oh, oh, son induced GAS. He just really likes the cool logo.
He played through the vox AD that is a 2x12, but complained that it buzzed. Must be a bad unit. Then he told me a Marshall would be ok. LOL!!!

They are dirt cheap - why not get one anyway? It's not about what we need, it's about eating what GAS feeds us!

For a kid amph, I am thinking the 30 beats the Vox AD30VT at that price point. My wife will think that is a lot to spend on an amph for him anyway. Well, we will see.

yeah, but only if your going to drive it into power tube distortion, otherwise I'd reverse that and say a warm tube preamp into clean solid state power amp might be a better option. I'm on that bandwagon again after a mate decided that the best "crunch" he could get for recording his new prog metal cd came not from his JCM900 and vintage marshall cab, but from a JMP into the desk...Originally Posted by tot_Ou_tard
But aaaaaaaanyway
+1 Peavey. I have the Ultra112 60W tube combo and it's been great! In 10 or more years all it's needed has been a set of Sovtek 6L6's and a fuse.
Not necessarliy so, I like tube amph cleans.Originally Posted by Ch0jin
A well known method is to run pedals into a tube amph set clean.
On the other hand, in the above set-up the pedals are pushing the tube preamph.

Ok, I'll admit it. I drooled a little. I love how easily and with real knobs you can edit the stompbox parameters. I just have a hard time with led displays and up and down buttons. Knobs are better. Also, there seemed to be a nice variety of sounds. Cool!

Many of my mates are on-line for the Tube120 2X12 version of this Vypyr... good news for the retailer that offers best-deal on these.
Very nice cleans & sounds in general.
They need to do another demo without all the noise in the background.
