  this thing blows my mind. I currently am playing through the peavey vypyr 100w with 2x12's, which is an amazing amp, but I thought this wouldn't be much different. the tubes make so much of a difference. my amp sounds like a toy compared to this. The distortion is so much better, I mean so hot it could burn hell to the ground. and the cleans are so perfect, I mean it's no mesa triple rec but it's still amazing. I'm definantly getting this with a valveking cab. I play in a metalcore/grindcore band and they're so stoked about this amp. the other two guitarists were at the store when I tried it out and they nearly crapped themselves. oh yea, did I mention this thing is loud? I had the volume at less than one and I was asked to turn it down. this is all around like a mesa boogie for a quarter of the price, plus a TON of effects. I would recommend it to anyone playing metal, rock, blues, brit rock. it's even good for playing justin beiber but we don't want to give peavey a bad name.

  best amp ive had. its a reasonable price, and can compete with other amps. and as far as volume, i keep up with a 100watt walveking, double kick drum set, 150watt power speaker, and 200 watt bass amp. no issues what so ever.

  Okay, first of all, this amp is modeled after the stuff that PEAVEY makes. Not what everyone else makes. Second, it's done perfectly. I tried it against ALL of the amps Peavey makes and it truly sounds exactly like them. What's better is you can match this with any cab you like. However, the Vypyr speakers in the combo are beyond amazing. Use the little footpedal if you don't like tap dancing. My floor space is free again and this amp has everything I needed for an amazing price. I wanted the XXX gain and the Classic 50 clean sound, with chorus and reverb. That's all I wanted and it's exactly what I got. I have the 212 tube combo and it's breathtaking and it really stands out in small and medium gigs. I bought the head to play larger venue's and I'm pairing it with a B-52 cab with Celestion G12H's. If I could get a cab with Vypyrs loaded in it I would no question. If you want the best Peavey has to offer plus some built in effects to clear up your floor space, get it without hesitation. If you want everyone else's stuff crammed in a circuit board then get something else. If you're dying for other hyped-up name brands then get those. This is by-far the best all-around amp I've ever needed for all rock, blues, and even jazz styles. It's very easy to use, very versatile, very forgiving, and is extremely loud. Thanks and happy picking.
