Peavey Vypyr..the only combo amp I'll ever need

[Orion Crystal Ice]

Random parts of random riffs and lead breaks from a Skyliner song..



might have to turn it up a little.

This is just the 15w version and the volume is about at 2. Far and away the best amp emulator type combo out there, and this one only cost me $108.

Damn.
Sounds way better than it should.

I sold my big crappy Line6 Spider combo for $100 and went and bought it and the Line6 doesn't even compare. That amp was so irritating in so many ways. Most products from that company are terrible, except for those huge tank-like pedals, one of which I use in my stack (the Uber-Metal, because I can't afford a head that gives me what I want - what you hear in the video - naturally). But this, I don't have to plug anything up to it at all, it gets rich and heavy and crisp enough for my needs all on it's own. In the video the setting is a Rectifier mod, it's the first preset I finished. The amp models include some of Peavey's own. I have a JSX one which sounds really good too, which was surprising because I couldn't get as much drive out of the actual head when I played it in the store.

I hope Line6's D/I recording stuff is decent.

I hope Line6's D/I recording stuff is decent.

Matt always recommends it, so I'd expect it to be fine.

Wow, that sounds incredible for a 15w practice amp! I think I'm gonna go see if they have any at the local shop and check it out in person.

Cool. Neat power/speed tone. I want to try on out, now.

That video sounds good! I've heard a lot of reliability issues with those amps though.. Have you got the firmware update?

I hope Line6's D/I recording stuff is decent.

You can get some good tones with it, but it'll never sound as good as a good amp miced up.
