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.

For the money, this amp is hard to beat. I have had it for about 3 years and no issues. The options are almost endless as far as amps/stompboxes/effects. And at 40 watts with one 12" it will hold its own in a jam or small gig venue. Couple of drawbacks: it took me a helluva long time to figure out how to use it correctly. Not sure I still know everything it can do. And as far as running a bass through it/ It DOES work but offers some cabinet rattle and distortion. I wound up purchasing another bass amp but this amp CAN be used to schlep to a jam or rehearsal without having to lug a bass and a guitar amp. I love the pre-sets. Slap back is great for rockabilly, a decent reverb, a nice wah-wah (no pedal needed), phasers, pitch modifiers etc etc etc Now that being said, I have only today added the foot pedal (Sampera 1) and am looking to unlocking a whole new slew of fun stuff!

VERY VERY loud electric guitar amp! As a bass player, I was shocked that 40W could be that loud for guitar. I can't raise the volume above 1 in my house. When you switch it to acoustic or bass mode, the volume decreases dramatically, but it is a great amp for guitar players who also play bass occasionally. Excellent top quality features. Beautiful sound for each of the different modes. The acoustic setting really made my cheap electric guitar SOUND like it was an actual acoustic. The amp simulation is top notch. Awesome value for the price! Edit: I've played through it more as a bass amp and after turning some dials and trying out the different settings....I'm even MORE impressed. One of the reasons the volume for bass was so much lower was that the default gain is at zero. I brought the pre and post gain up to a reasonable level and BOOM....huge sound. I play with a 18 piece dance band and usually bring my Hartke kickback for that group. After experimenting more, I would not hesitate to use the Peavey for rehearsals and performances with that band. I still can't get over the fact that it is a 40W amp. The sound is enormous and clean for that much wattage.

When I started reading about this amp, I decided I had to get it. If it actually delivered on all of its promises, it was more than I would be even more than I could have ever asked for. Well, it mostly delivered. Let me say that one thing that particularly pleases me is the absence of wires. It's in my living room and I hated the wires cluttering up the floor around my previous amp which I was using with a DigiTech RP90 multieffects pedal. Now I have all of the most important stompbox effects built into the amp and there are no wires on the floor anymore. The single power cord is behind the amp and out of sight. On the positive side let me say that this is the warmest digital amp I've owned. It makes the Line 6 competition seem lame by comparison. In terms of tube tone, it sounds as good as my Bugera V22 did. After I sold that amp, I experienced seller's remorse but that has evaporated with the VIP 2. The stomp and rack effects all sound great. On the con side, the instrument emulations are a mixed bag. In what world, for example, does a sitar sound like the one Peavey incorporated in this amp? Ditto for the resonator. The synth emulation seems rather limited. Don't expect to be able to do a lot with it. The electronic violin requires learning how to use it. For example, stay within a violin's range or things get strange. The 12-string and bass guitar emulations are okay, but don't buy this amp hoping to find much use for the instrument emulations. Another con has to do with presets. You know, with a Line 6 amp in the same price range you'll get a dizzying array of tone presets intended to emulate the sounds famous guitarists obtained on particular tracks. None of that here. Eventually, I'm sure guitarists will put up their approximations of such tones in terms of the settings they used, but for now you're on your own to feel your way toward Jimi Hendrix' tone on All Along The Watchtower or Alex Lifeson's tone on Tom Sawyer. You may at first wonder why there are two electric guitar presets (Electric 1 and Electric 2), but if finally dawned on me that one could for lead and the other for rhythm guitar functions. By pressing the preset's button you can toggle between four memory areas, so you can have four settings under Electric 1 and four more under Electric 2 for a total of eight electric guitar presets, which aren't many by comparison with, for example, the 50 I could save on my RP90 multieffects pedal, but you can't have everything. However, there are probably enough there for a gigging guitarist to have what he needs for a stage performance. He'll want the Sanpera pedal though so that he doesn't have to take his hands off the guitar to switch from rhythm to lead. I don't know if it's an inside joke at Peavey or what, but do you recall the scene in Spinal Tap where Nigel Tufnel brags that while most amps have volume controls going up to "10" his goes up to "11"? Well, this amp's volume knob actually goes up to "13"! I got a laugh out of that. Also, to take full advantage of the amp's possibilities, you'll need to spend at least $80-$90 for the Sanpera i pedal. With it you get pedal control over volume, a wah pedal, and also control over some of the parameters of some of the other effects. When it arrived, it was in a pretty corrugated box inside a plain corrugated box and wrapped in a plastic bag. One of the rear corner caps was broken and the pieces were inside the plastic bag, so I deduct that the cap was broken in China after it was bagged but before it was boxed. I've mentioned this to Peavey. Maybe they'll send me a replacement corner cap. I certainly wasn't going to return the amp over it but it was a bit disheartening to unpack the amp only to discover it wasn't in perfect shape. The amp arrived in three business days, but since there was a weekend in there, delivery took five days. I hate UPS. All the other delivery services are better. That includes USPS. BTW, I'm still learning this amp. If I was wrong or inaccurate, please correct me.

Really cool amp. Some of the effects (slice) are not real useful, but it is cool to play around with. I like that it also acts as a computer interface for recording. The amp models sound pretty good overall (especially if you like crunchy gainy Peavey models). Its basically 2 iterations of the 6505 sound, one of the Triple X, one of the Peavey Classic, a MArshall sound, a Vox sound, a Fender sound and a Buddha sound, plus 2 acoustic and 2 bass amps. Overall the sounds are good. The effects range from decent to sort fo useless, but overall are pretty useful. Given the price it is a good deal. I bought the 40 w version, which gets loud enough for jamming with friends and probably a club, and certainly would be fine through a PA, which you could likely do with a plug adapter for the headphone output.

I would've given this 5 stars; however this amp has an extremely loud speaker "thump" when you switch power on and off. I play in church and this thump is very disruptive. Turning down the volume doesn't help. I can leave the amp on for the entire service, but I'd rather not. I considered adding a time-delay relay to connect the speaker several seconds after power-up, and I may still do this. However, for the time being I simply added a toggle switch in series with the speaker. Now I switch on the amp, give it a few seconds to settle, then switch on the speaker, and do it in reverse order to power off. Peavey needs to work on this - with all the computing power in this amp, adding a time delay speaker relay to the original design would've been a piece of cake. Had I recognized this problem before purchase, I would've given second thoughts to buying it. Second review - I have now tried this amp on a bass guitar. This is unbelievably poor. I can start with a low E and walk chromatically up the guitar neck and hit resonance after resonance in the amplifier. One resonance (at A) was in the back vibrating, so I screwed a piece of angle iron to the back. That fixed it. Now I'm seeing other resonances in the front where the speaker is mounted. So next I'll spend some time chasing those. I'm sorry I ever bought this amp. The audio engineering that went into it is a disgrace to the Peavey name. I wish I could give it zero stars. DO NOT BUY THIS AMP TO PLAY BASS GUITAR THROUGH IT.

This is the best amp value I have ever seen! I bought it because I was recommending the 20-watt version (VIP1) for beginners on my website, Guitar Lesson World. I couldn't resist buying this 40-watt version after reviewing the little guy. The modeling is fantastic and the versatility is unmatched for this price. It does it all. I like that I can connect my phone to the aux jack and play a backing track. Yes, I can adjust the volume so I can hear both. I can also plug it into my computer via USB and record with it. You need to monitor it through headphones, but that works extremely well for me. Also, it's loud, I rarely have the master volume above 2 when playing at home. I need to get the sanpera pedal to unlock the remaining features.

this is my 3 peavey transtube line amp. this is by far beat up the two previous transtube series. this amp is well built. the knobs feels right in their place. this amp looks like US1,000.00 dollars value & is only US200.00 bucks!!! I always be use to have high quality gear in my home studio and this is definitely is up to the standards of my expectation. I'm going to order another one to have a stereo feeling and 80 watts distributed by the two amps in the gig venues... so this is a steal deal for every kind of music player. amateur / profesional or hobbist. is kind of ironic that the sampera footswitch is too expensive more than the amp. and that's the only complain that I have with this equipment.
