Thanks! I've also had my Vypyrs on Dee Snider, Bret Michaels, Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, Rudy Sarzo, Bob Kulick shows. Brad Gillis and Sarzo dug what I had going on with my rig. That was huge to me! Hopefully my Vypyrs will last a lifetime because no other amp does it for me.

Sweet amp, dalrymple! Please post some of your recordings or a link to them when they're finished. Thanks!

That's awesome JR. Did you get a chance to talk to Brad Gillis? Man, I remember what Brad did with Ozzy and he had this killer tone from his mesa boogies back then. Brad is one heck a great guitarist.

Do you ever run across Jake E. lee when in Vegas?

Yes, chatted with Brad a lot at the gig. He actually appoached me after I soundchecked. He really liked my tone and was blown away when I showed him what I was using. I've been friends with Jake since 2010 when we did a production show together. He's a great guy and still a monster player!

Everytime I hear a vypyr or transtube bandit I'm amazed Marshall still manages to sell those MG amps of theirs.

Great playing!

Thanks ScottMarlowe!

Initially I bought my Vypyr as a practice amp. I set it up in my music room alongside my EVH half stack, H&K Matrix 100, Peavey 6505 setups and A/Bd them all. To my surprise the Vypyr beat them ALL! Shortly after that I sold all of the heads and cabs, bought a second Vypyr as a backup and started using it as my main rig. Done hundreds of shows since then. Only one glitch out of all the shows. Amp stopped working once when I changed channels w my Sanpera. Roadie turned amp off and back on, all was fine. Love the Vypyr 30!

Agreed Scott.

I repaired a dead MGFX50 a couple of months ago for a local guy, it needed a new main DSP board. On testing the fixed amp I ran it side by side with my Vypyr 30 and, I hate to say this as an Englishman, the Marshall was complete and utter garbage ( MG I believe means "Mediocre Garbage" ). The cleans were flat and lifeless, the overdrive wasn't even even fizzy, just varying degrees of flat farty abysmality !!
The FX were too few in mumber, thin sounding and their control parameters were poor beyond imagination.
The VYPYR 30 is quite simply the best all round medium sized combo there is. I got rid of my Marshall TSL601 tube amp and Boss GT multi FX when I got mine - say no more !

Johhny Roxx - you deserve an award for going above and beyond the call of duty in demonstrating (in a much more convincing way than Peavey's own demo videos) what the Vypyr 30 can do in a true live situation - very well done that man !
If I hadn't already got one I'd have rushed out to buy one purely on the basis of your performances without a shadow of doubt !

Became annoying seeing two versions of this topic, so I merged them and cleaned up any duplicate posts, let me know if I missed anything.

If you would prefer i can of course move it back to Guitar Amplifiers. Or even Club Peavey.

Understandable. I posted in the other forum too because I figured most people over there wouldn't visit this forum.
