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.
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
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
The VIP 1 exceeded my expectations in terms of ease of use, performance and versatility.
I'll review again when I can provide information about how well the pedals do when placed at the front end of the amp
A second reason to add your favorite pedal(s) is that the amp's design limits you to one row each of stompbox/instrument model, amp model, and modulation effect (plus global delay and reverb)
Sometime I want to get the pedal for this amp to preset effects I like
I feel like I'm getting some great sounds out of the amp, but largely because I have some great pedals to compliment it
Recomend purchasing sanperra 1 pedal makes the amp even more fun to play with.
The "Synth" model sounds nothing like a guitar synth, but everything like a vintage analog keyboard synthesizer, with adjustable portamento and attack
The remainder played on the severely hobbled "British" model--Peavey really made a mistake with this one, deactivating the tone controls in a crazy effort to model Brian May's amp
I love the guitar amp models, I can get out of this thing
If what you want is a modeling amp with several great sounding models and effects built into it then you're in luck
I ordered this product based on it's features such as; "GUITAR, BASS, or ACOUSTIC AMP with USB,Most versatile modeling amp available."
It wasn't cheap and was suppose to be really good quality and sound
Could be a build quality issue or an engineering issue (with the design tilted towards the guitar side of the house).
Horrible company puts out horrible quality
A good friend of mine uses one of these, and used to send audio files (Of course the sound quality wasn't the best, but it sounded amazing from what I could tell.)
A very good amp, great sound good quality worth a lot more than it's price!
So again the speaker flutter and vibration due to the terrible design and cheap materials in manufacturing kill this all in one set up from any pro sounding gigs
When I received the item and tried it out there was a constant buzzing ,I thought there was something loose in the cabinet or the speaker was blown, so I returned it and ordered a replacement, when that arrived I opened the box and when I lifted the amp out of the box and the speaker grill and speaker fell off the front of the amp and there were screws laying in the bottom of the plastic bag that covered the amp
The speaker rattles so bad.. and the sound cuts in and out
