Now continuing the tradition of innovation and excellence, Peavey launches the VYPYR X modeling amplifier. This latest evolution of the groundbreaking VYPYR series features updated styling, superior cabinet design for premier acoustic performance, and improved TransTube technology.
Each VYPYR X is equipped with Peavey's exclusive TransTube technology. This true analog distortion not only sounds better, it leaves the amplifier's processing power dedicated to the effects, allowing the VYPYR X to run up to 5 effects simultaneously. When playing live nothing "cuts through the mix" like a VYPYR. Many modeling amps simply can't be heard in a live setting because of their poor digital distortion and practice amp EQ. TransTube technology is designed analog to emulate real tubes, and sits perfectly in the mix in a live environment.
Many competitors claim their amps have multiple effects and models, but most of them are not fully functional without the use of external software. With the VYPYR X you can access ANY of the features of the amp, right from the front of the amp itself or with the use of a footswitch in the case of the looper. This is a key advantage found on all VYPYR X amplifiers. No hooking up a computer in order to edit your favorite preset or swap out an effect, you can do it right from the amplifier itself.
VYPYRs use the same technology found in stompbox pedals that cost almost as much as a VYPYR for a single effect. For the same amount of money, the Peavey VYPYR X1 gives you 12 effects in addition to 2 instrument models and 36 amplifier models.
