I've been playing guitar since 1984. I've had Peavey, Marshall, Crate and Fender amps in the past and have had and probably currently have too many guitars to list. So I think I have enough experience to give a fair evaluation. The Peavey Vypyr series of amplifiers may be the most feature rich and versatile low-price combo amp series available on the market right now. It's all here. Glassy cleans, fat crunchy blues with good compression and some real searing, rip your head off high gain metal distortion along with just about every conceivable sound in between. The amp modeling adds another layer of versatility and tonality, and also adds to the realism of the selected levels of gain, reverb, delay and modulation effects. I haven't found the amp to be digital sounding in any discernable way and not suprisingly, I've found it be quite analog sounding in most respects. My Marshall valve amp may have an ever so slightly "smoother" gain stage, but not by as much as you would expect. And the kicker is, no more tubes to maintain. 99.9% of musicians wouldn't be able to tell the difference in an A/B test. There are YouTube vids that prove that out convincingly. For bedroom practicing and possibly even some coffee house playing, it's plenty loud, so have no fear about 20 watts not being enough in all but live gig situations. The 8" speaker reproduces electric and acoustic guitar convincingly with a slight limitation on the deepest bass notes at higher volumes, as would be expected. I do believe the amp sounds better with passive pickups as the pickups in my Schecter are active and do cause some over-saturation if I don't roll back the volume a little when using the 6505 Model with maximum gain on the high gain (red) setting. With the clean model selected (green setting) and light gain, it's a non-issue. That said, I play some bass on the side and thoroughly enjoy being able to plug in without needing a seprate bass amp for practicing. And of course all modulation effects are available in that mode as well for your creative enjoyment. The acoustic guitar amplification is on point as well. The full range of capability of the specially voiced speaker allows the electric/acoustic guitar to shine through with the nuances that you usually need a good microphone and PA system to emulate. The limiting factor will being the quality of the pickup in your acoustic guitar. Which brings me to an important point. I've noticed that the amp really emphasizes the characteristics of the pickups installed in whatever instrument you are using. If your pickups are cheap or sound poor, it will show. If your pickups are good, you'll be able to appreciate just how good they are. The only downside to the amp is that although it's inexpensive for the quality and versatility you get, you really need the Sanpera Pedal to unleash a few of the options. 1) The Wah Pedal function. 2) The Volume Pedal function 3) The Looper Function I don't think it's really even open for discussion that the Sanpera Pedal should be an immediate purchase along with the amplifier. This of course brings the total investment cost up significantly, but unleashes the complete potential of the amp in a most positive way. As a side note, in addition to the Sanpera Pedal, I also purchased an inexpensive noise gate as I feel this gives me complete playing control and a more polished sound when performing, especially at high gain settings. The headphone output jack is only a 1/8" as opposed to the standard 1/4" found on most high end amp heads and combo amps, which I feel is a little on the light side for my purposes, but nonetheless I'm glad that it has the option and it does the job and sounds terrific. The USB direct out reproduces well for DAW recording and still conveys the subtleties of your playing very convincingly if you have a good sound/recording card and recording software. I honestly can't think of any downside to this amp, and having compared this to everything else in this price range it more or less blows away the competition. I've had bigger, louder ( and 5 times more expensive) combo amps that sounded great, but none have had this kind of versatility for home use. I would definitely purchase this again if I my amp grew legs and walked away. Edit: So I have even more time with the amp and still feel good about this purchase. It still sounds pretty awesome with the analog amp modeling capabilities and the gain versatility is really unmatched. The only downside I've found, and this is with the VIP 1, is that you can only stack so many effects at a time. So if you for instance want both the tubescreamer effect, the compression effect and the univibe effect at the same time, you're out of luck. You can only choose one of those stomp boxes at a time on the VIP 1. Also, I like to stack gain stages as well. Now, yes you can switch between 4 presets that you are able to assign with the Sanpera, but it's a little limiting if you want those presets to be a clean, a light gain, a heavy gain and an ultra gain and want varying modulation assignments within those contexts as well. So, I've found that I needed to incorporate a few pedals on the front end. For ease of use, I have a pedal board with a tuner, a noise gate, a compressor, a blues driver (for boost and light gain), a big muff pi (no fuzz option on the VIP 1), and an analog delay (the built in delay is digital) and a few other modulation pedals so I can free up the usability of the on-board effects that I don't have pedals for (electric mistress, uni-vibe). The upside being that my pedal board effects of course can be used on another amp. The downside being that if you want that kind of versatility, be prepared to spend several hundred dollars for the pleasure of the experience. I'll review again when I can provide information about how well the pedals do when placed at the front end of the amp. There is no effects loop on the amp as expected with pretty much all modeling amps.

DISCLAIMER - I am an amateur who learned basic guitar a few years back and am attempting to learn electric bass. BUT - I have years of sound mixing for film and video, so I think I have a pretty good ear. I have a custom David MacCubbin acoustic guitar that is on par with a high-end Martin. I've tested this amp with my Classic Vibe Squire Telecaster, Ibanez Artcore hollow body w/ dual hum buckers, and a Squire Jaguar Bass I just picked up. Before I purchased a new amp, I went out and tried a bunch of bass practice amp models in this VIP2 price range - and came to the conclusion that speaker size makes a HUGE difference in the low end resonance of the Bass. If you are going to practice electric bass - a 12" speaker seems key to feel what the instrument is doing, much more than electric guitars. For my electric guitar playing I've been thru several amps - from tube to solid state - and many effects pedals. I just downsized my setup with a Fender Mustang I 20-watt 1X8 for my practicing. I really like the amp emulation of the Mustang series, and for my purposes it was fine. Then after doing some research I found the Peavey Vyper VIP series that just came out and promised the ability to do both guitar and bass. After it arrived I ran all 3 of my guitars through the settings and all I can say is WOW - Peavy has a very nice amp on their hands for BOTH Electric and Bass guitars. For Bass playing I went with the #2 model with the 12" speaker, since I never found a decent dedicated bass practice amp with an 8" speaker - so the 1X8 model was not a option. The Vyper VIP 2 delivers BOTH Electric and Bass amplification that sound very good - for a great price. The controls intuitive. The various sounds for electric guitar are very good. AND it has 2 very nice Bass Amp settings. All the amp settings have a low-mid-high gain option. I know it's not fair to compare the amp to my mustang I - but I can't see going back to that little guy. And the Vyper VIP 2 is not that much bigger in size - but packs a better sound by far. The professional 1/4" headphone jack is a must if you intend to practice w/ headphones - 1/8" mini jacks on other amps including Fender's Mustangs are fair at best. As a hobbyist/student my benchmark form any instrument or amp is does the gear make me want to practice more, or get in the way of my motivation? The VIP 2 has energized my desire to learn basic bass (learning 12-bar blues to start), and I really like the various sounds I get from my other 2 electric guitars with the different amp emulation settings.

Got this as my first actual amp, after getting a nice guitar. The biggest plus in this amplifier is its versatility. Because of the multiple amp models, plus the individual channels on each model you end up with an array of different sounds to choose from. I have to say, I've been loving the 6505 and 6534 models on the overdrive (RED) channel with my Jackson guitar. The sounds are unreal. The effects are pretty marginal. I understand their uses, and I've played around with them a bit. But I just don't find the use all that enticing. I'm glad they are there, but I feel like to be able to really use them to their fullest, you'd need that pedal to go along with the amp. The price is really impossible to beat. This is really affordable, for a guitar amp. Especially one that has the sheer amount of settings available on it. My only complaint, and the reason I'm kicking off a star, is because the volume knob is useless when you are using the speaker and any of the overdrive channels. Your actual control of volume lies between 0 and about 0.2. Once you are any where near 1, then the amp is just loud. And it will get louder and louder up until 3. Then there's nothing more to be had. I'm really confused, because I was expecting volume 1 to be along the lines of capable of playing the guitar without headphones at night and not waking anybody up. Instead you have volume 1 essentially acting as volume 5-6. It's really weird, and it makes for an unpleasant time.
