VIP2 - Increase power?
Posted: Thu Jul 13, 2017 9:52 am
Is there a way to increase power by replacing any component?
I would replace it with a VIP3. The VIP3 has a power sponge that allows you to change your power from 1 to 100 percent (watts). The cost of replacing components in a VIP2 could almost pay for a VIP3.godoy.rafa wrote:Is there a way to increase power by replacing any component?
No you would not be converting you VIP2 to a head and cab. The VIP2 remains the same. We are just tapping the signal to send to another amp.godoy.rafa wrote:This line out mod you said, would it have the same effect as converting my VIP2 to head + cab, and plug the head into the return of another amp?
Or, I would have to do the line out mod in the VIP2 head as well?

Yes, I know. But it is easier to carry a head (to use Line Out to another amp at a rehersal studio, for example) than a combo...vypyrtrails wrote:Converting the VIP2 to a head and cab will not give you more power.
Good to hear that! I was thinking about the Katana, but it seems that Vypyr sounds better.vypyrtrails wrote:I had the Boss Katana (which I took back and got the VIP2) and ran the line out to another head and cab. Worked Amazingly.
What I lost in features with the VIP2, I gained in tone.
Yea it was a very agonizing decision to make, returning the Katana for the VIP2. The VIP2 just kills with its tones and yet the Katanagodoy.rafa wrote:Good to hear that!

I have done one for a forum member a couple of years ago. Well under 20 bucks to do it yourself. It is pretty much the same as modding the 1st Gen vypyr.vypyrtrails wrote:j_fury68 wrote:vypyrtrails wrote:
Ok, I'll ask.. Have you done this to a VIP?? Is this something I could do myself? Parts I'm guessing under 20.00....
Search for post with this title " Vypyr and VIP with effects loop mod " You may find the info you need for this mod. This goes back about 2 or 3 years.vypyrtrails wrote:j_fury68 wrote:vypyrtrails wrote:
