The amp itself is great, good tones and effects to choose from which sound great. The amp gets pretty loud, so loud that I keep the main volume on 2! However, when playing lower frequency notes, the amp buzzes. This happens if you gently tap the amp when the amp is off too. Becomes very prominent when playing bass, even at low volumes. A shame because this amp looks and sounds amazing for the price.

I wanted a smaller Combo amp for the bedroom playing. I also have the Vypyr VIP 2 but it is a bit too loud. The good thing is I can still use the footswitch I bought for the VIP2 2 version on the X1. I mainly use it for coming up with riffs. easy plug and go amp.

Peavey just re-released the Vyper VIP, there is no quality improvement. Its repackaged but pretty much exactly the same. I traded in my almost 10 year old VIP2 for this and its the SAME. The response of the ALL digital preamps was of the same quality. No innovation. I think they will fall on there face with this one. I wanted something better that is why i am disappointed. The only real use is the clean channels and use good analog distortion preamps into it. There is the same exact digital noise bleed thru at the same high pitch frequency when you crank the gain of the modeled amps. This is how i know it is the EXACT SAME.
Having a ton of fun with this amplifier - love the fact you get to all the effects on the front - glad i purchased the foot controller, having a ton of fun with the looper. Can't think of what else you could possible pack in this amazing little amp, works pretty good with my acoustic too. Love it
Sound:Its odd they make you choose a rating for manufacturer support seeing as I imaging you would only contact them if you had an issue with your new item and zZounds didn't resolve itOverall:Its way louder than I expected. We don't turn it up past 3. The distortion sounds great. The amp modules sound great. For metal and grunge which my daughter plays its fantastic. I used the acoustic channel for jazz ukulele and it sounds great as well.
I've played alot of modelling amps and the X series is just it for me. Being a metal musician requires a specific gain dynamic that peavey continues to deliver. The 6505+ and classic(5150) presets are so close to the actual amp it's scary. And then there's the 6534+ preset. Filthiest gain I've ever heard and it's also scary close to a real 6534+. If we could get a tube variety of this amp like the 60w vypyr, peavey would jump leaps above any modeling amp manufacture easily. Wouldn't gig with it, but it's the only thing I'll ever record with. Side note, V30s would complete this amp
Peavey equipment was a mainstay where I grew up. I knew a lot of guys who started with and used T-15's, 30's and 60's. The region was full of Bandits, Backstages, Studio Pros, Rages, and Pacers. I gigged with a Peavey Renown 2x12 for a while. Peavey was American, inexpensive, well built, sounded good, could get loud, and was reliable. The Vypyr X 1 continues the Peavey line. I play both 4 string bass and 6 string guitar. This amplifier is useful for both of those instruments--and can be used to amplify acoustic guitar as well. That was why I was initially interested in this amplifier, I can play bass and guitar through the same amplifier and get good tones to practice with for both instruments without having to use two separate amplifiers. It is small to mid-sized, ... MorePeavey equipment was a mainstay where I grew up. I knew a lot of guys who started with and used T-15's, 30's and 60's.

That was why I was initially interested in this amplifier, I can play bass and guitar through the same amplifier and get good tones to practice with for both instruments without having to use two separate amplifiers. It is small to mid-sized, and very portable, but not merely a "bedroom" amplifier--it can get loud. It sounds good turned down, for either bass or guitar. You can get great bass tones out of it, and good volume for a single 8 inch speaker. There is easily enough room in the cabinet to mod, if you are into that. And adding a 1/8 or XLR out would not be too difficult, and it does have a headphone jack output. For guitar, you really can dial in a lot of good tones out of it--from crunch and chug high gain to jazzy high headroom clean and everything in between. It is really versatile, and does clean, dirty and high gain very well for a small, light amplifier. Peavey uses its Trans Tube in this amplifier--and Trans Tube really does sound good--it is not a gimmick. With an 8 inch speaker in a semi enclosed cabinet, it is not going to sound and feel like a wall of 4 x 12's, but can fill the room well enough--more than I thought it would. The controls are really simple and intuitive, and the LED's are easy to see. The manual is very easy to follow. The effects are nice to have, and add to and shape the sound, but were not the deciding factor for me. You can dial in great tones with no effects at all. It takes pedals fine, but I really do not use them through this, except for a foot controlled wah. I have tube amps, (Fender, Mesa Boogie), and love those, but a solid state modelling amp is perfect for practice, and this Peavey Vypyr X 1 fits the bill. It is well made too--as is every Peavey amplifier I have ever seen. I bought this for practice solo--but you could play with other musicians at reasonable volumes with it easily and still be heard. It is 20 watts with an 8 inch speaker, and boasts 30 watts RMS. If I were planning to gig with it, with a drum kit, and vocalist, I would get one of the two larger versions to push more air. But, for a portable small to mid sized amplifier--this is perfect. If it gets ripped off, I'll certainly buy another!
The X1 has a high pitch hum in the headphones that the X3 does not. nor did the previous version of the vypyr have this hum in the headphones. other than that the new vypyr X amps are great. I can hear an improvement in the sound when comparing them back to back, with the previous vypyr, and it is ezer for me to get a smooth lead sound in the vypyr X vs the previous version. I love these amps but if you want to record out of the headphone jack stay away from the x1. The X3 has more of a 3D sound due to the larger speaker as well.
i bought this after selling my peavey bandit 112 transtube ,which i soon realised that i wished i hadnt sold,i was gonna buy another then seen the new vypyr x1 and given that it had transtube built in i had no hesitation in purchasing one,oh my god this amp totally rocks the presets are unbelievably good,each amp preset has 3 voices from green ie clean to amber ie crunch and red ie high gain,i cannot get over how good it is and outs my previous bandit 112 hands down the cleans are good particularly the peavey classic and fender one ,i do play mostly guns n roses ,nirvana ,zz top ,70s rock and this is more than i could of wished for,i do play a little clean country stuff too and it does that good too but remember its not gonna sound like a fender amp are they are ... Morei bought this after selling my peavey bandit 112 transtube ,which i soon realised that i wished i hadnt sold,i was gonna buy another then seen the new vypyr x1 and given that it had transtube built in i had no hesitation in purchasing one,oh my god this amp totally rocks the presets are unbelievably good,each amp preset has 3 voices from green ie clean to amber ie crunch and red ie high gain,i cannot get over how good it is and outs my previous bandit 112 hands down the cleans are good particularly the peavey classic and fender one ,i do play mostly guns n roses ,nirvana ,zz top ,70s rock and this is more than i could of wished for,i do play a little clean country stuff too and it does that good too but remember its not gonna sound like a fender amp are they are known for best cleans but peavey are known for the best rock amps ,its fairly big in size and for a 20wt amp it can play like thunder if you crank it or piano like on clean settings,if your after an amp thats got more umph and growl then tis is it .
