Peavey Electronics introduced the original VYPYR guitar amplifier in 2008. This game changing amplifier launched many industry firsts, such as first guitar amplifier to have on-board USB, stompbox presets, looper, 5 effect simultaneous operation, and TransTube®/digital hybrid technology. In 2012 Peavey raised the bar again with the VYPYR VIP, the worlds first Variable Instrument Performance amp. For the first time one amplifier could be used for electric, bass, and acoustic guitar. In addition, for the first time ever we introduced instrument models to an already feature-packed amplifier.
