zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
This amp has everything. I added its Sanpera foot controller and it is complete. You can't find a better amp in this category even if you spend three times the money.

Quality:
This product has a lot of engineering design thought and built in to it. The product is well made. It came pristine as regards its finish and fit. No cosmetic blemishes. The product has been reliable. It is being used on gigs each week as well as in the studio. The speaker is the same as in the 75 watt model and it can be cranked and speaker produces true tone. A studio set of headphones allows you to us it as a practice amp but if you bring it on gigs you will not be disappointed when you and your audience hear it live.

Value:
This product is actually worth more than its selling price and as compared to other modeling amps priced a lot higher.

Desirability:
I do not get into the "sex appeal" of a product. But with all the lights and built-in tuner stomp boxes and effects loops it has a very compelling appeal aesthetically. It is indeed a technical marvel but beyond its practical use it way too cool! It will be a great addition to my gear.

Sound:
Excellent Stomp Box and Effects encoders and they all sound great at High and Low gains. Even played at low gain this amp still retains its presence and punch. No need for tons of foot pedals especially if you get the Sanpera foot controller as I did.

Ease of Use:
Very easy get great sounds from this amp The interface is intuitive and after working with it for an hour, it was easy is it to edit the sound to taste and save them. In a clean mode even used it with several of my acoustics. It excels with a decent axe. I used it with my Strat and Les Paul and I could get any sound I wanted. There is a slight learning curve but I believe even a beginner can use the preset sounds/effects and be off and running in seconds. The manual is clear and to the point.

Support:
I have dealt with the manufacturer of this amp for 30 years. This Vypyr 30 is my fourth Peavey I own. Have also bought Keyboard and Bass amps from that manufacturer and never been disappointed. I still have my three earlier Peaveys. I made it a point to speak to their engineers concerning this modeling amp before I purchased it from ZZounds. The manufacturer’s engineers answered all my questions.

Overall:
I expect to be satisfied with this trans tube modeling amp product for a long time to come. I would compare this product superior to others I considered and I spent hours playing them all before finally decided on this one.

Feature:
This amp is very good when it comes to features, 24 effects, overdrive, clean, 11 different amp models, and programable presets make this amp very good for intermediate to even expert players.

Quality:
This is a very well made amp, but the back of it is hollow, so those of you looking for an amp that has a back to it beware. That is my only quality complaint. My comment is the very puncture resistant chainmail screen that is in front of the speaker itself, very nice.

Value:
I actually got this amp for 50% off the day it was released and that was an amazing deal.

Desirability:
The thing that drew me to this amp the most is the led display around the knobs, not the normal number. The chainmail screen in front of the speaker is very nice also.

Sound:
The effects on this amp is amazing, but I will say that when you turn that volume knob above 2 you will need to be in a room bigger than the average living room. The sound overall is good but once you change the amp model to anything above XXX you will want to turn the volume down else you want you eardrums volume pusled to death.

Ease of Use:
This rating is lower than the others because of the instruction manuel DVD not playing in any of my DVD players, so I have no clue how to do anything but change the amp model, effect, and the EQ.

Support:
Haven't had to deal with them yet, knock on wood....

Overall:
I expect to be satisfied with this amp until I either 1: Need a bigger amp or 2: Need something to match my skill as it becomes greater. If this amp was stolen I would replace it with either the same one or an amp that has the same features but more watts.

Feature:
The effects on this are so good. It would save about a thousand dollars on foot pedals if you wanted all the effects. And every effect has 2 way to adjust it.

Quality:
This will never get broken. Very good durability.

Value:
It is 10x better than anything below $500 and is still better than things below $1000. Very good amp

Desirability:
Very good looking amp. It has a lot of cool lights.

Sound:
This is the best amp that you can get for under $500. It sounds really good and has a bunch of different amp models. I highly recommend it.

Ease of Use:
It may take a bit of time to get used to. The manual is perfect. I had this for a month and read the online manual and learned about 50 new things.

Support:
The Peavey website has everything you need on it.

Overall:
One of the best amps out there
