Peavey Vypyr VIP 3 1x 12", 100W modelling guitar amp combo
Product no: 9000-0005-5112 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The affordable Peavey Vypyr VIP 3 (100 watts, 1x 12" speaker) is superior to just about any other guitar amp in its price class. Not only does it spew out an impressive 100 watts of power, it delivers an array of sounds thanks to its modelling technology. Another added bonus is that you can hook up your acoustic guitar or bass if you want! Simply select the right instrument, and the Vypyr VIP will give you the best audio settings in a flash.

Amplifier, stomp box and instrument modelling

Plug in your guitar and go crazy with the 36 different guitar amps, 6 bass guitar amps and 6 acoustic amps that are available; the tube types sound particularly convincing as a result of the patented TransTube technology. You also have a number of channels available per type at your disposal. With a flick of the wrist, you can set up stomp box effects or turn your guitar into an acoustic, a 7 or 12-string, a mandolin, or even a baritone, resonator, violin or bass!

Everything you could possibly need

Practically everything you could possibly want in an amp is available in the Vypyr VIP 3. It has a chromatic tuner, a looper (driven by the optionally available Sanpera), a tap-tempo function and a headphone output. Hook up an external audio source using the mini jack input, and a USB port makes it possible to use the VIP as an audio interface so you can record files on your computer. Any way you look at it, it's a practical modelling amp for use at home or on stage!

This is my first venture into the world of modelling amps and as a newbie, I have the following reviews:

Seems fantastic value for the quality of equipment.

Very good sound and effects range.

Good, helpful response from Peavey forum members.

Fairly pathetic users manual, especially for creating and saving new pre-sets.

Not sure I gained anything over the cheaper VIP 2.

Ampli 100w(réglable de 1 à 100w) à modélisation,je l'utilise depuis 6 ans et je l'adore toujours autant ! J'ai essayé les réçents Boss Katana 100w ,Marshall Code 100 et Line 6 Spider et aucun ne me fera changer d'avis car au niveau des Bass fréquences (pour les étouffés corde Mi-grave par exemple),il est juste monstrueux !! C'est malheureusement ce qui manque à ses concurrents (si non ,ils ne sont pas mauvais ! ) , le pédalier Peavey Sampera 2 est idéal pour profiter du looper ;de la pédale Wah et tout les réglages de l'ampli ! Si vous êtes assez amateur de son hard ,je vous le conseille très vivement mais comme pour tout les autres amplis du genre ,les sons qu'on crée nous même sont souvent meilleurs que ceux programmés ,je referai ce choix d'office !

De peavey vypyr een futuristische uitziende amp met een magnefiek geluid en eindeloos veel mogelijkheden wat kleiner en lichter dan de 100 watt Fender. als je als gitarist veel tijd en veel geduld hebt is dit een prima amp .

Als je als hobby gitarist met een drukke baan af en toe snel wat riffs wil spelen is een wat eenvoudiger in te regelen amp misschien handiger.

Pluspunten zeer goed geluid, eindeloos veel amp en effect variaties ,zeer degelijke, relatief compact en licht,ziet er mooi en modern uit.

Het vergt veel tijd geduld en experimenteren om de juiste sound te vinden,

Autumnal Offerings from Fender

Wednesday 28 October 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

Whether you've already started thinking about your Christmas shopping list or not, Fender has one or two items you might want to add to it. Guitarists can choose from a Special Edition Standard Stratocaster Black MN, aChampion 100 Snow White amplifier combo, or even a Rustler six-string Banjo! Please note that the guitar and the amplifier are strictly limited editions, so if you want one, you'll have to act quickly.

The Blackstar Artist Series: Classic and Versatile

Monday 2 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

Blackstar has gone from a newcomer to an established name in a short space of time. One of their greatest assets is the Infinite Shape Feature or ISF circuit (as it's otherwise known) that they developed themselves. With the ISF circuit, Blackstar managed to greatly increase the versatility of tube amplifiers without the use of digital technology. The new Artist 15 and Artist 30 models both have an ISF circuit fitted and can produce the typical American 6L6 sound, as well as beloved British AC clean and crunch.

The VOX VTX Series - Evolution Accelerated

Wednesday 4 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

It's already been more than 10 years since VOX turned the amplifier world on its head with the Valvetronix series. This series of amps combined digital modelling technology with convincing tube sounds. Since then, models have slowly but steadily improved along with digital technology. Now however, the time is ripe for VOX to introduce another series that, rather than show another slow and steady improvement, offer something more like evolution accelerated. Meet the VT20X, the VT40X and the VT100X, the first three models from the new series.

Mesa Boogie's Mark Five Now Available in a 35-Watt Combo and Head

Friday 6 November 2015 By Lizanne

Mesa Boogie now introduces, alongside the Mark Five Twenty-Five, the Mark Five Thirty-Five! Mesa has continued their glorious tradition by using four EL-84 power tubes in the amplifier, contrary to the earlier Mark Five Twenty-Five, that had to manage with 'only' two. This amp, preceded by the Nomad, Mini Rectifier Twenty-Five and the Caliber, has been released onto Mesa's mini platform in a combo as well as a head version.

Friday 13 November 2015 By Lizanne

We're talking about the Analog Valves, which come in three sizes and are best described as a modelling tube amp combos.

Wednesday 20 January 2016 By Lizanne

Renowned instrument colossus Roland first introduced their Blues Cube amplifiers back in the 1990's. The idea was simply to program a transistor amp to sound like a tube amp. Now, more than twenty years down the line, they've perfected that idea. The result is the brand-new Blues Cube Hot: a portable 3-watt combo in Black and Vintage Blond.

The two-channel Fender Twin Reverb, popular among guitarists who love that warm '60s sound, is now available in a special George Benson edition.
