"Peavey Vypyr 15W Amp"
Sound: This amp sounds amazing. I just got this today, but I have been using my cousin's for a little while. I already have it set to make exactly the sounds I want it to and it is just awesome in terms of sound. Too bad its not a tube amp, but it is just half a step down from one. Feature: This thing pretty much has an multi-effects pedal (without the pedal part) built in. It has 12 effects settings, 12 different amp tones, 2 settable parameters, delay volume, delay speed, and reverb settings. It has a great setup for under a Benjamin. Ease of Use: This is where it can be a bit tricky. In order to change delays and such you have to push the effects knob. Sadly, I just now figured this out. It may either be because I am dimwitted or it's just hard to figure out at first. Other than that it's alright. Another thing, when you first turn it on make sure the volume is all the way down. The first preset is an obnoxious screech that should definitely be written over ASAP. (To set presets you have to find the settings you like and hold the button to the right of the preset number you want to save it to. Make sure the light flashes before letting go.) Quality: Like I said, I just got it, and while the only true problem is merely a minor aesthetic problem I can tell you that my cousin's Vypyr 30 has lasted him over a year, and it runs like brand new. Make sure not to be too harsh on it though, because like most sound equipment, enough abuse will kill the amp or main board. On the contrary, it's not a tube amp, so you don't have to worry about blowing tubes. Value: For 99 dollars, this is truly a steal. It comes with everything a 250 dollar amp would have and yet its cheaper and available. Manufacturer Support: I have not tried to contact the company, but the instructions that came with it were... insufficient. I haven't looked at the CD yet, but there wasn't any document showing me how to set the presets and etc. The Wow Factor: This was an amp I bought for my new (actually it was used) Ibanez AF75 Hollowbody, and the amp I had was pretty much dead, so it was reasonable to get a new one. I looked everywhere for a decent amp that was within 100-150 dollars. This and a Roland Cube were the only amps truly worth buying. This being said, this amp was a real turn on in terms of guitar amps. Beautiful and clever, that's the way I like my women, and that's the way I like my amps. Overall: I believe I will keep this for a couple years, as long as its running like my cousin's I'm happy. I believe the next purchase I make will be on an effects pedal, because I would like to have access to tremolo and other effects on hand (my hollowbody doesn't have a whammy). This is a great amp and I encourage anybody that is looking for one in this range to buy it. It has all the features you'll need to please your ears, and while it isn't too much of a gig amp, it is perfect for practices or maybe even a little show or jam session. Kudos Peavey. Kudos.

"Not bad..."
Overall: This is probably the best practice amp you could buy for under $100, and I've looked. The 8" speaker could probably use a little work, but with all the amp and FX models it's worth every dollar. 12 amp models, each with a clean and distorted channel! That's 24 channels in one! Where else can you find that? Oh, did I mention most of the distorted channels actually sound good? The FX are pretty decent, although a lot of them are FX I’d rarely use. The Tube Screamer model isn’t worth anything; it shouldn’t have been included. I compared it to the Raven RG20, Line 6 Spider III 15, Fender 15R Frontman Series II and Marshall MG10CD, and the Vypyr blew them away, although the Fender was not half bad.
