I usually use the JSX amp, back the gain down (but not too much) and I use a lot of delay and a bit of reverb, with auto-wah stompbox. It's a good blues-shredder sound.jbsadg wrote:guys i need a good solo tone. i cant seem to find one that sounds decent, every tone i try seems to be to harsh sounding or to muddy. any good solo settings?

Re: Let's Share Some Vypyr Settings
Hey guys how's it going? Just got a Vypyr 30 to replace my Spider, and it just sounds soooo much better. Should've just got the Vypyr to begin with, but oh well....
Anyway, can anyone give me a good Adam Jones - like tone? Something like his work on H. ?

Re: Let's Share Some Vypyr Settings
On my last amp (Behringer GMX212) I had an excellent clean sound utilizing chorus and reverb. It sounded pretty much exactly like the clean sound in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCKgFQQrE_c. It constrated my heavy sound perfectly. Does anyone know how I would go about creating a sound like this on my Vypyr 75?

Wow!!
I have been out of commision for a long time and then ended up buying a new Taylor acoustic. I just today dropped the Taylor off for some adjustments and decided to dust of the Vypyr and my electric, OMG!! This is awesome guys

Re: Let's Share Some Vypyr Settings
Hello all, this is an awesome forum. I just bought my vypyr a week ago and im just now figuring the thing out. Im looking for some AC/DC settings and maybe a few setting for something like I cant drive 55 and other stuff like that. They may already be here, however, I cant seem to find them.

I so agree. I have had three Spyders and they cant stand up against the Peavey.HeaviestJack wrote:Hey guys how's it going? Just got a Vypyr 30 to replace my Spider, and it just sounds soooo much better. Should've just got the Vypyr to begin with, but oh well....

1st things 1st, you've gotta' use the Diezel-setting I usually put some kind of overdrive on top of that, and then a flanger on the rack-end for songs like "46 & 2" etc., and then -of course- some degree of delay/reverb. Don't know how well this setup works for "H." . I can provide you with precise EQ settings if you'd like, but this'll get you started.

If you could post those EQ settings, I would very much appreciate it.
I'm so glad I found this forum!
Re: Let's Share Some Vypyr Settings
First off, thanks for the cool Vypyr settings site. I don't have a lot of time in the day so I usually like to get down to playing. The settings that have been posted have saved me a lot of time. When I was younger I remember spending hours tweaking my amps to that "perfect" sound ( which never really existed ).
If anyone has the time and would like to dial in some settings for:
• current Paul Gilbert ( I think he uses a Marshall modern vintage now )
• Fall Out Boy
• standard Jazz tones
Anyway, just throwing that out there for people that like the challenge. I'd definitely appreciate it - but without any expectations of course.

Well this is my initial try at Tone matching. Go easy on me.
This is what I've dialed in for Iron Maiden.
Amp - K-Stein RED
Stompbox/Effects - Bypass
Pre Gain is at 6.25
Low is at 6.5
Mid is at 5.5
High is at 4.5
Post is at 4
Delay is off
Reverb is at 2.5

Re: Let's Share Some Vypyr Settings
I noticed some people have been looking for jazz settings, and on the Sanpera II there's a preset for that!
So here it is:
Stomp: Squeeze (12:30, and just before 3:00)
Amp: Green Classic
Rack: Pitch shift -12:45, the second one all the way down. This makes it a chorus.
Tone: Just set it warm; low cranked, mids and highs around 9:30
Gain: Pre at 1:30, post cranked
Delay: off
Reverb: 10:30
Also, another sound that I like to use for a MxPx-like crunch:
Stomp: Xr Wild (noon, 9:00)
Amp: Green JSX
Rack: Bypass
Tone: lows just before noon; mids at 10:30; highs at 1:30
Gain: Pre at noon, post just past 3:00
Delay: off
Reverb: off

Re: Let's Share Some Vypyr Settings
Song or Artist: Randy Rhodes
Stompbox: XR Wild (Param 1: 5.75, Param 2: 3)
Amp Model Used/Green or Red: Plxi (Red)
Effects: Off
Pre-Gain: 5.75
Low:1
Mid:7
High:1
Post Gain: 5
Add FX to taste... personally, I like the "raw" sound of this and will add FX post microphone, during processing, if they're needed. It's close to the original Rhodes tone... This amp could use a modeled MXR 10-band EQ that shifts pre/post amp model and an MXR Distortion +... LOL... I have to admit, though, this tone is close to nailing what comes out of my JVM410 head, when I have the MXR EQ and Distortion+ in front of it... darn close...
Enjoy...

Re: Let's Share Some Vypyr Settings
i dont own a vypyr.but ive tried one,and here is a setting I used to get a zz top type of tone:
Stompbox:X-Boost - Optional (P1:4,P2:3+1/2)
Amp model emulation:Plexi on red
Rack Effect:Bypass(P1:Whatever,P2:Whatever)
Pregain:5+1/2
Bass:Cranked all the way down
Mids:All the way up
Treble:All the way up as well
Postgain:7
I also used a separate eq pedal(MXR M108) to boost the high frequencies.ZZtop guitarist actually had modded both his Plexi and JCM800 with a treble booster option...Have fun!!!;D

Re: Let's Share Some Vypyr Settings
You're in luck, Zakk's signature pedal is modeled on the amp. As long as you get the 30-watt or bigger...shotclock wrote:How about a Zakk Wylde setting. Hope to get a vypyr after work and ditch the Line 6
