Conclusion
For this amplifier you have to put a little more money, but it is worth it. In general, I would advise beginners once to buy a cheap amplifier. There are already devices under 100 euros and this amplifier is to be expected with a price of over 300 euros rather the middle and upper segment. But with these just under 400 euros one buys something very special.This amplifier has the advantage that it is a combination device which can be called a very conscientious amp. You can play not only guitars but also other devices on the amp, so that you get for the around 400 euros a very enormous degree of flexibility.
The guitar player can store his / her sets on the amplifier, but it is criticized that these presets have not been saved after switching off. This is particularly annoying when you have to start the unit for a long time, or when you get into the embarrassment of building your amp more often and then build again. Then you would not want to make the settings again each time and thus risk running the sound profoundly to change.
Whoever buys the Peavey Vypyr VIP has a very good device with a lot of performance and many advantages at a reasonable and reasonable price. It comes to the fact that the processing of the amplifier is excellent and robust and one can also have such a long time for the device, which one has acquired.
For upgrading it would be highly recommended to equip the Vypyr with a pedal. It is the only real minus point on the device Vypyr of Peavey in the VIP equipment.
Overall, it can be said that this amplifier is not only due to its peculiarities, but also due to the performance spectrum a clear recommendation. The processing is very sturdy and so you can be sure that you can have a long time of pleasure, assuming you are handled appropriately and appropriately with the device and is not limited to it only to close the performances once. Such a device needs, like all high-quality things, maintenance and care, in order to function correctly. It has to be constantly checked and treated carefully, otherwise you run the risk of the device unfortunately broken. Where one can say that the operation is very simple and uncomplicated and one can rest here reliably for its financial investment also a corresponding value to get.
