Sound:
The only comment I have here, is that happily/weirdly there is NO feedback on Red channels running through this pedal, whereas, straight
through to the amp, I have tons of annoying feedback.
Feature:
You have all heard that this is a must if you have a Vypyr amp, and I'd
say that is true. The looper function is worth it alone. It has a surprisingly very accurate tuner. I also like having control of the volume with my foot. Another thing that I really like is that you can change the settings on the amp while watching the screen on the pedal. It's much clearer than trying to read the markings on the amp, especially in a dimly lit room. Of course it has assignable pedals for pitch shift, and wah, as well as volume. It also has the ability, in manual mode to independently switch on/off the delay, reverb, etc...pretty cool.
Ease of Use:
It has a pretty skimpy manual, but it covers the bases. For instance, it tells you to hold down a switch for a few seconds to erase a loop you have recorded. Plus you learn to hold down the up/down buttons to quickly scroll to a patch you want. One complaint I have read is that when you lay down a loop, it plays back louder. This is true, but all
you have to do is back off the volume pedal a little, record the loop, and then when you want to play over it, push the volume pedal up a bit and the volume is equalized. One more complaint, iv'e read is how hard you have to push to access the tuner, etc. This is also true. I'm 260 lbs, and I have to stand to press it hard enough! There is a screw under the cover to adjust this though. All in all pretty intuitive.
Quality:
Mine came with a little bit of aluminum flashing on the bottom edge, that should have been sanded down. but you can barely see it. Generally
it is a robust unit, all aluminum, tough switches and strong pedals(also aluminum). I think this would stand up to gigging duty no problem.
Value:
Zzounds beat an price online for me again, so value-wise, I couldn't be happier!
Manufacturer Support:
So far so good. You can double the warrantu to two years by going online and registering it.
The Wow Factor:
I think it looks cool. It definitely is styled with a lot more flair than most pedals. It's strange. But, unlike my Vypyr 75, where I could do without the fangs, this looks great.
Overall:
I'm pretty happy. I expect to enjoy this for years to come, or until the Vypyr II comes out.

Sound:
You really need this foot pedal to bring out the best of the Vyper series amps. It adds so much more to the amps liek teh looping feature, and many more presets. It also allows you to make on the fly changes instead of having to move to the amp everytime.
Ease of Use:
The is a learning curve to it, but once you get around that, it is pretty easy to use.
Quality:
I can see some of the switches not lasting too long, The expression foot pedals are sometimes hard to push to on or off, but work great for the functions they control.
Value:
I think it is a litle pricey for something that you pretty much really need to makde the amp more versatile. Alower price would always be better.
Manufacturer Support:
Have not had to use support yet for this product so I really can't say.
The Wow Factor:
Looks impressive sitting there. Just has a look that it can do so much and it does in fact do just that.
Overall:
I can't see owning the amp without it. Expanding the options of the amp is pretty important, so I recommend you purchase the Sanpera II with the Vyper series amps.

"Buy the amp. Buy the pedal. Between them both you own every amp in the world for the price of a used Blues Jr. Which I had and g" submitted July 11, 2009
Sound:
AMP IS FABULOUS. Its not excatly tube but its damn close enough. With the Sanpera 2 pedal you can set up any sound known to man. Its the perfect small gig amp and will cover any style.
Feature:
Ok so the knobs are a bit flimsy but its a 199 amp. I mean for all your getting for the price that is the least of my concerns.
Ease of Use:
Its a pleasure to use. So easy and Im not a digital guy. Well I am now. Peavey did a great job making this user friendly.
Quality:
Very well made. No problems. Would give it a 10 if not for the knobs.
Value:
worth twice as much.
Manufacturer Support:
Peavey is a GREAT company. I own a Delta Blues tube amp and a Peavey guitar. Great products from a great company.
The Wow Factor:
I dig the lights.
Overall:
I'll be using it a good long time.
