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.

I would recommend the Vyper Vip 1 to folks who want a nice sounding amp for different styles of playing without plunking down over half a grand on a tube amp

All in all, I like the VIP so

The vip 1 & 2 are great, but this is better by a mile.

The VIP 1 exceeded my expectations in terms of ease of use, performance and versatility.

but if your just tracking out the guitar its absolute studio quality sound, (as long as you know what your doing) but after you get familiar with the reaper software, its endless what you can do with this amp, and the free vip editor also opens new doors in just how much you can edit the sounds, Peaveys amps are always on point, this one is no exception
