The Vypyr X1 Combo Amp from Peavey continues the tradition of the original Vypyr guitar amplifier introduced in 2008. This latest evolution of the groundbreaking amp features updated styling, superior cabinet design and acoustic performance, as well as improved TransTube technology. This true analog distortion not only sounds better, it leaves the amplifier's processing power dedicated to the effects, allowing the VYPYR X to run up to 5 effects simultaneously. The Vypyr X1 is also ideal for playing live. Many modeling amps simply can’t be heard in a live setting because of their poor digital distortion and practice amp EQ. TransTube technology is designed analog to emulate real tubes, and sits perfectly in the mix in a live environment.
