New Peavey Vypyr series...

[TS808]

Have you seen these?? These might fill the void left by Line 6 discontinuing the Flextone series, and may also be a little bit of a step up from the Vox ADxxVT series.

These look really interesting:

I believe they are due out in the fall of this year.

they look interesting and I'm certain they will get a lot of attention.

Does anyone know what the "Real 6L6 tube power" offers - only available on the 60w and 120w?

Did you check out the foot pedals (option)?

I have seen these advertised at Sweetwater. They look GREAT :bravo: Looks like they offer a lot of features for the $$....

Here is some info on the 60w: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Vypyr60

I did some more reading on these and I have to admit I feel a little GAS coming on. That 60 is enticing, although it's $150 more than the 75.

Let's see, when I ordered the Peavey Generation EX tele I commented to my wife something like "this one should now provide me with all the guitars I will need for awhile", so technically we aren't talking guitars here and it would most likely hold up in court.

Need some legal assistance here - please review the facts and come back with your findings.

Edit: AMP: 60W = $450 or 75W = $300 or 30W = $200
Sanpera2 Pedal: =$180
or
Sanpera 1 Pedal: = $80

It seems to me that the ones with the 6L6 power section are borrowing from the idea of the Valvetronix amps; using a power tube in the power amp section.

The other models like the 75w and 100w models seem to be 100% digital, much like the Line 6 Flextones or Rocktron Replitones (both which have been discontinued).

The ones with the 6L6 power sections are probably a bit louder and produce some power amp distortion when cranked, much like the Valvetronix amps.

Nonetheless, they all look pretty cool and reasonably priced for all the features. Peavey is a good amp manufacturer too, and if I read correctly, these also have built-in power attenuators much like the Valvetronix amps.

The Valvetronix amps have been known for reliability problems (although I've never had any with mine) so these might be pretty good if they hold up well.
