Re: Let's Share Some Vypyr Settings
I've got this great Steve hillage type rhythm sound that souts open chord arpeggio type playing, basically using:
clean sound (brit is favoured)
with mid eq (set to around 12 o clock)
stomp on bypass or light ananlog phase
rack on pitch shift 3-4/5-6
delay feedback 2
delay level 2
reverb 2-3
Great to do some maj/min 7 arpeggios and loop them then you can noodle all over the loop into the early hours and relive your student hippie days.

Re: Let's Share Some Vypyr Settings
Hey everybody, these settings all sound really good, this was a great idea for a thread.
I was wondering if anyone had gotten close to a Jason Becker tone?? Like on Opus Pocus or altitudes? I love this tone and cant seem to get it right. I would appreciate any help
Thanks

Re: Let's Share Some Vypyr Settings
I've always been after an overdriven Leslie tone in the vein of Badfinger's No Matter What, or Cream's Badge, or Blind Faith's Presence of the Lord. And I think I've stumbled onto it. Oddly enough, it doesn't call for the rotary. See what you think of this:
Stompbox - Analog Flange
P1 3.00; P2 4.75
Amp - JSX Green
Pre-Gain 1.00, Low 3.50, Mid 3.00, High 3.50, Post-Gain 5.25
Effects - Bypass
Power Sponge (if you have it) - full clockwise
I know these guys were uising Leslie's but I've never been able to get much use from the Rotary effect, unless you're after a much faster SRV type of Leslie warble.
Hope some of you find this useful!

Re: Let's Share Some Vypyr Settings
Been listening to the track, sounds to me like a strat neck pickup and something like a classic on green, no effects, just set pre and post gains so its at the point of starting to break up. Keep the eq on the bassy side with a bit of mid scoop and you should be pretty close. A touch of echo, a touch of reverb. Its a nice warm valvey sound but Mayer has such a great touch on the guitar.justinhorne wrote:One more bump for the John Mayer/Slow Dancing in a Burning Room tone please?
Thanks guys.
Re: Let's Share Some Vypyr Settings
The amp has limitations. It CAN get you into the ballpark, but a lot of signature tones CAN'T be dialed in. Disturbed is probably hot pickups on a detuned 7 string guitar and hi-gain amp with a boost in front.Castiel wrote:still trying to find some good metalcore/hardcore-ish tones from bands that dont even classify themselves as those genres
Aka, Disturbed, Killswitch Engage, Bullet for my Valentine, Avenged Sevenfold
A lot of the sounds I am after require a real Tube Screamer to get the tone. The stompbox model can't come close and is really only an overdrive boost with the limited setting you can adjust. Whether or not a real tube screamer is going to get the sound with THIS amp is something I don't have have the ability to test.
Other tones I seek come from bands running one amp into another. Yet one more thing this amp can't do.
I'm still just starting to scratch the surface for tones...

Guess i'll look up sig artist amps/tone settings and try that as a start.
Already have hot pickups and detuned gutiars w/ heavy strings.
Disturbed , Killswitch, and Bullet for my valentine is drop C, A7x is drop D.

Re: Let's Share Some Vypyr Settings
There are a lot of recorded sounds that will be hard to duplicate, even if you have the same amp as the artist. You can't usually crank the amp up to stage volumes in your home to experiment (unless the family is out of town and the neighbors don't complain). So, what you create in your bedroom won't sound the same in a performance venue.
Lots of recorded tones are done using a variety of amp combinations and in some cases, multiple amps. ZZ top: Billy Gibbons talks about an "amp cabin" that they use in the studio. It's a stack of small combo amps aranged in a square , facing in toward each other, with others stacked on top to make a square chimney. They close the chimney with another combo placed on top, facing down! The mic goes in the middle.
If you have created a tone that sounds good, use it. It's non-productive to diss an amp because it can't nail your favorite artist for under $400. The Vypyrs are the best hybrid amps I've seen. They blow away Roland Cube 60, Vox Valvetronics, and Line 6. I've owned all three and still own the first two. BTW, Vypyr runs rings around the Marshall 8040 I sold when I bought the Cube.
Most of the tone that you create comes from right hand technique. Muting, pick angle, rakes, pick harmonics, and, yes, even the pick that you use contribute greatly to the tone you get. Beyond that, you can't get a humbucker sound from a Strat and you can't get a single coil sound from a Les Paul, unless you re-wire for split coil operation. Even then, you won't sound like Eric Clapton, David Gilmore, Slash, or SRV unless you have the chops.

Re: Let's Share Some Vypyr Settings
+1 I'm afraid - like to have a play with a load of other settings people have found work well for them. I'm getting all the good ones together on a spreadsheet for general release on this thread once we get a decent few posted up.
C'mon, post your favourite settings and a brief description! I can then put together a similar style pdf to the Spider for anyone that finds it useful.
{edit]Here's a jpg of the template to be used.

Thanks to the template from Big Al, I've set many of the posted settings up in a PDF document for your viewing pleasure. Some of the data was missing so I left it blank or guessed. The amp arrow is colored red or green and I'm using the 1-7 numbering scheme.
Let me know if you'd like additional ones added, or have changes.

Re: Let's Share Some Vypyr Settings
Great work! thx for posting
Heres some cleaner sounds, where the p1 & 2 knobs have both red and green numbers, it means theres a stompbox as well as a rack effect used - the red numbers are the stompbox settings and the green are for the rack effect. I'm using a PRS Custom 24 for these settings, mainly off the neck humbucker or neck + bridge combined.
