What's your take on the Peavey amplifier: Vypyr Tube 120watt head?

Asked by Axemusica (9500points) March 24th, 2011

I’ve been thinking about buying one after playing it at the instrument store. I was very impressed. The guy trying to show me “what’s what” had me play a 6505+ combo, then the Head with (what I think was a) Valveking cabinet (more Peavey models). Then I played the Vypyr Tube 120 Head on the Vlkg and was completely blown away. Even the setting that’s supposed to sound like the 6505 sounded better than the actual combo & head.

Thing is, I always try to read up on things I want that are expensive. Being a musician, I often read about gear when I discover it.This being the first Peavey I played that I really enjoyed, I had to do some research.

After rigorous searches across Google, I’ve only found 2 bad reviews. (bad being no lower than 2 stars out of 5) Every other review were people raving about how “Awesome” the sound is.

So, does anyone have one of these and has some quirks they’d like to let me know of?
