ENGLISH Electric • Acoustic • Bass Morphing from a bass amp, to an electric amp, to an acoustic amp, the VYPYR® X is Peavey's latest Variable Instrument Performance™ amplifier. Peavey Electronics revolutionized the modeling amp industry with the introduction of the VYPYR® VIP Series — the world’s first amp that contained Bass guitar, Acoustic guitar and Electric guitar amplifier models. We are excited to introduce the latest evolution of that series, VYPYR® X.
VYPYR X1 Front Panel 0 1 2 3 (0) VARIABLE INSTRUMENT INPUT On the VYPYR X1, you can input an electric, an acoustic, or a bass guitar. There are amp models for all 3 instrument types. Once you plug into the amp, you select the instrument type to the right (item 1). The amp then changes its input sensitivity and gain structure to match your selection. NOTE: VYPYR X Amplifers are designed to be used with instruments with passive electronics.
VYPYR X1 Front Panel 4 10 5 11 6 7 8 12 9 13 14 15 available. If you are using a bass preset (Item 1, Bank D) only the bass amplifiers will be available. TUNER MODE: Press and hold Amp Encoder (3) for 2 seconds to enter tuner mode. The LEDs around the Amp encoder will tell you what note you are tuning. At the same time, the LEDs around the Stompbox encoder (Item 2) will indicate whether the note is sharp or flat. If the LED is to the right of the 12:00 position you are sharp (Tune down).
VYPYR X1 Front Panel (10) LOOPER INDICATOR This function requires a Sanpera® I or Sanpera II foot controller. Waste no time in making that purchase— the looper will allow you hours and hours of fun. You can record any 30 plus seconds of anything, switch your tone (preset), and play over top of your recording.
VYPYR X2 Front Panel 0 1 2 3 4 11 (0) VARIABLE INSTRUMENT INPUT On the VYPYR X2, you can input an electric, an acoustic, or a bass guitar. There are amp models for all 3 instrument types. Once you plug into the amp, you select the instrument type to the right (item 1). The amp then changes its input sensitivity and gain structure to match your selection. NOTE: Vypyr X Amplifers are designed to be used with instruments with passive electronics.
VYPYR X2 Front Panel 5 6 12 7 13 8 10 9 14 15 16 17 The LEDs around the Amp encoder will tell you what note you are tuning. At the same time the LEDs around Effects encoder (Item 4) will indicate whether the note is sharp or flat. If the LED is to the right of the 12:00 position you are sharp (tune down). If the LED is to the left of the 12:00 position you are flat (tune up). When all of the LEDs around the Effects encoder come on, you are in tune.
VYPYR X2 Front Panel (11) LOOPER INDICATOR This function requires a Sanpera® I or Sanpera II foot controller. Waste no time in making that purchase— the looper will allow you hours and hours of fun. You can record any 30 plus seconds of anything, switch your tone (preset), and play over top of your recording.
When powering up, the Vypyr X will remember whether the Bluetooth functions were on or off. To Connect via Bluetooth: Place your phone or music device in Bluetooth search mode. The phone or music device will begin searching for the Vypyr X. Select “Vypyr_X” (data/editor id: LE_Vypyr_X) from the search results on your phone or music device. You will be prompted to enter a pin number. Enter the pin#, it is 7878. If the pairing is successful, the Bluetooth Active LED will stop blinking and stay lit.
VYPYR X3 Front Panel 0 1 12 2 3 4 (0) VARIABLE INSTRUMENT INPUT On the VYPYR X3, you can input an electric, an acoustic, or a bass guitar. There are amp models for all 3 instrument types. Once you plug into the amp, you select the instrument bank. The amp then changes its input sensitivity and gain structure to match your selection. NOTE: Vypyr X Amplifers are designed to be used with instruments with passive electronics.

(5) PRE GAIN Turn this knob to crank up the gain, think of it as how much distortion you want out of the amplifier. In Edit mode this knob controls parameter 1 of either the selected Stompbox or Effect. (6) LOW ENCODER Low EQ adjustment.
VYPYR X3 Front Panel (12) LOOPER INDICATOR This function requires a Sanpera® I or Sanpera II foot controller. Waste no time in making that purchase— the looper will allow you hours and hours of fun. You can record any 30 plus seconds of anything, switch your tone (preset), and play over top of your recording.
VYPYR X3 Front Panel (16) USB RECORD OUT The VYPYR USB Record out requires no additional drivers—just plug a standard USB 2.0 cable into your computer and it will detect it as an audio device. Open your favorite recording program and start recording. Don’t worry, the output is microphone/cabinet simulated and will sound great right in your computer. NOTE: The speaker is intentionally muted when USB output is in use although the headphone output is active for real time monitoring.
VYPYR X Rear Panel 0 2 0 1 8 PIN MIDI Connect your Sanpera® I or Sanpera II here. This particular style of MIDI jack provides power to the Sanpera foot controllers and is required for their operation via the 8-pin cable. Other MIDI devices can send program and control changes to the amp via a standard MIDI 5-pin cable. 1 POWER SWITCH This two-way rocker switch applies power to the unit when placed in the ON position.
VYPYR X3 Presets Fig 1 Fig 3 Fig 2 Fig 4 SAVING AND RENAMING PRESETS 1. To save a preset you have edited, first press and hold the Preset Encoder for 2 seconds, then release. The screen will now look like Fig 1. You can now rename and save your preset. 2. In this mode, the bottom row on the display scrolls through different commands.
Fig 7 Fig 5 Fig 6 SYSTEM MENU COMMANDS 1. To access the System Menu, press and hold the Amplifier/Tuner button (Fig 5). The screen will display 3 choices in this menu: ADJUST CONTRAST (for changing the contrast of the display), DISABLE DEMO MODE (turns off the “light show”) and FACTORY RESET (erases all user defined presets and returns the amp to original factory presets.
Stompbox Encoder VYPYR X1 VYPYR X2 The first encoder to the right of the input jack is the Instrument/Stompbox encoder. This control selects the Instrument model or Stompbox (Traditional floor effects unit) which is exactly like connecting your guitar to your favorite pedal and then into your amplifier. With the Instrument/Stompbox encoder you can select several unique instrument models, as well as distortion and boost pedals.

Amp Encoder One of the most unique features of the VYPYR® amplifier is the channel select encoder. Each of the amp modes contain three channel models, low gain, medium gain, and high gain. Turn the encoder to select the amplifier model you desire. To change the channel model, simply press the Amp encoder. WORD ABOUT EQ: When modeling the amplifiers for the VYPYR we also painstakingly modeled the EQ and how the EQ controls functioned on the various amplifiers.
Amp Encoder 6505® +: Named in celebration of Peavey’s first 40 years, the 6505 Series is also the relaunch of the 5150 Series, the immensely popular amplifiers Peavey designed with Edward Van Halen. While known as the 5150, these amps became the undisputed go-to guitar amps for scores of rock, hardcore and metal bands due to their raw tone, relentless power and road-proven reliability.
Effects Encoder The third encoder from the right is the Effects encoder. This encoder selects any desired “Rack” effect. The term “Rack effect” is used to identify effect components that would typically be found connected to an effects loop on an amplifier. These effects are usually post input, post EQ and sound distinctly different than pre amplifier effects (Stompboxes). To select your effect, simply turn the encoder so the LED is next to the effect you desire.
