Vypyr® Pro

Modeling Amplifier

Congratulations on the purchase of the most advanced modeling amplifier to date! Peavey® introduces its newest member of the VYPYR 

Series, the VYPYR PRO 100. As the name implies, the VYPYR PRO is an amp featuring professional-grade tone and features, in a unique 

and intuitive layout. Because of the advanced dual processor design, the VYPYR Pro can run up to four amplifier models in parallel. Using 

the VYPYR Pro’s unique architecture, the VYPYR is capable of designing a variety of signal path combinations. Four module bays each 

with their own distinct LCD can be assigned to an amplifier, effect, stomp box, or in the first position an instrument model.

The modules can be assigned in any order, allowing the user the ability to create the exact rig they desire, even if they desire to run two or 

up to four amplifiers in parallel. With up to 5 parameters to precisely control effects, multiple delay types and advanced features such as 

MSDI (microphone simulated direct interface), direct output, effects loop, and MIDI control allow the professional player to create the rig 

of their dreams inside a single combo amplifier.

The VYPYR Pro continues the tradition of appropriate technology using 4 stages of patented TransTube® analog gain to create the most re-

alistic tube sounding distortion in any modeling amplifier. By using analog distortion, the VYPYR Pro’s digital processor has the amazing 

ability to offer almost limitless combinations of additional stompboxes, “rack” effects, amplifiers and now even instrument models. The 

result is an overall better and cleaner tone.

Recording is a mainstay of the VYPYR Pro design. With the most advanced USB audio system in any VYPYR, the Pro was designed from 

the beginning for home recording. The VYPYR Pro also features an analog speaker and microphone simulated direct out for recording as 

well.

With 500 presets available and dozens of different models of effects, reverbs, delays and amplifiers, the VYPYR Pro is the most innovative 

and advanced modeling amplifier on the planet. Designed for the working musician by the musicians at Peavey Electronics, it is perhaps 

the most versatile amp ever created.

The perfect companion for the VYPYR Pro, Peavey’s updated Sanpera® Pro Footcontroller unlocks all the power of the VYPYR Pro. The 

Sanpera Pro’s dual expression pedals can be assigned to the default setting (volume on left, wah on right), and to 3 different stompbox or 

effects parameters!  The Sanpera Pro’s expression pedals are also range definable. The footcontroller also features a boost switch, tap tem-

po, a chromatic tuner, and looper controls that allow users to generate multi-track loops.

AT-200™ integration is a key part of the VYPYR Pro design. The MIDI output allows the VYPYR Pro to communicate with Peavey’s revo-

lutionary AT-200 guitar in order to change presets inside the guitar with one simple VYPYR Pro button press (requires an AT-200 guitar 

loaded with one of the optional feature packs, available at www.autotuneforguitar.com)
