Summary of Contents for Peavey VYPYR 15

  • Page 1 Player`s Handbook for VYPYR 15, 30, 75, 100, 60 Tube &120 Tube ®...
  • Page 3 ..the VYPYR ® Whether you have purchased a VYPYR 15 or a VYPYR Tube 120 you have made the decision to participate in a revolution in amp modeling and a new standard for tone. After 43 years of experience building tube amplifiers and working with analog distortion, Peavey has finally combined true analog distortion with advanced digital effects algorithms to create the best sounding modeling amp on the planet, period.
  • Page 4 1 - Stompbox Encoder Not available on the VYPYR 15 Turn this knob to select your desired pre-amplifier effect if any. Just think, 11 pedals you’ll NEVER have to buy! Press the encoder momentarily to enter Edit mode (15).
  • Page 5 5 - Low Encoder Low EQ adjustment. In Edit mode, this knob controls Parameter 2 of either the selected Stompbox or Effect (15). 6 - Mid Encoder Mid EQ adjustment. In Edit mode, this knob controls the feedback of the delay effect. Feedback is just the number of times the delay repeats.
  • Page 6 Quick Start 11 - Power Sponge ™ Found on the VYPYR 75 and 100 only This knob allows you to turn down the output section of the amplifier. Don’t confuse this with the Master Volume control. Power Sponge adjusts the amount of power the amp is capable of producing. This patented circuit allows you to get that full-on cranked sound at bedroom levels.
  • Page 7 MUTED WHEN HEADPHONES ARE IN USE! Master Volume (10) controls headphone level. 17 - USB Record Out Not available on the VYPYR 15 or 30 The VYPYR USB Record out requires no drivers. Just plug a standard USB cable into your computer and it will detect your VYPYR as an audio device.
  • Page 8 What is with the crazy light show? It is to keep our amps from getting bored when they aren’t doing anything. Don’t worry, when you plug your guitar into the amp the light show will automatically stop and will remain off for the remainder of your session.
  • Page 9 Stompbox Encoder (Not available on the VYPYR 15): ® The first encoder to the right of the input jack is the Stompbox selector. This control selects the Stompbox (Traditional floor effects unit) which is exactly like connecting your guitar to your favorite pedal and then into your amplifier.
  • Page 10 Stompbox Encoder Ring Modulator The Ring Modulator combines two waveforms and plays the sum and difference of the frequencies present in each waveform. As you will hear this effect is certainly a little “off the wall,” but can be a lot of fun. Parameter adjustments: P1 Carrier Frequency, P2 Mix. Auto Wah The Auto Wah uses frequency filter sweeps in the range typically associated with vocals to give the guitar a “wah”...
  • Page 11 Amp Encoder One of the most unique features of the VYPYR amplifier is the ® clean/overdrive select encoder. Each of the amp modes contains TWO CHANNEL MODELS, usually the clean channel and the overdrive channel. In cases where the original amplifier has THREE CHANNELS (JSx ), we just picked our FAVORITE TWO.
  • Page 12 Red Channel: Triple xxx Ultra channel, damping set to medium. ® Peavey and Joe Satriani set out to create an amplifier that would give the widest range of EQ options and gain structures possible. Green Channel: JSx 212 Combo Crunch channel, presence 6.5, resonance 9.
  • Page 13 Amp Encoder 6505 ® The 6505 Series amps are the undisputed go-to guitar amps for scores of rock, hardcore and metal bands due to their raw tone, relentless power and road-proven reliability. The 6505 is still the unques- tionable choice for an ever-expanding list of endorsers and has become the sound of metal the world over.
  • Page 14: Pitch Shifter

    Effects Encoder The THIRD encoder from the left is the EFFECTS SELECTOR. This encoder selects any desired “rack” effect. The term Rack Effect is used to identify effect devices that would typically be found con- nected to the effects loop on an amplifier. These units are commonly designed to fit in a 19”...
  • Page 15 Effects Encoder Flanger Unlike the Analog Flanger model on the Stompbox encoder, this flanger uses a longer delayline. Es- sentially this causes the flanger to emphasize lower frequencies. Parameter Adjustments: P1 Speed, P2 Depth. Slap Back A very quick, short REPETITION of the ORIGINAL NOTE that sounds like the note just “slaps back at ya.”...
  • Page 16 Engineer`s Notes Restore Factory Default Settings To restore your amplifier to factory default settings (THIS PROCESS WILL ERASE ANY PRESETS YOU MAY HAVE STORED) turn the amplifier off, press and hold preset buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously and turn the amp back on. After a moment the LEDs will return indicating the amplifier has been reset. STOMP Notes xR Wild...

If the unit repeatedly blows the fuse, it should be taken to a qualified service center for repair.
  • Page 19 3. 8 Pin MIDI Not available on the VYPYR 15 Connect your Sanpera I or Sanpera II here. This particular style of MIDI jack provides power to the Sanpera foot controllers and is required for their operation.
