Is it possible to access the additional preset slots in the Vypyr without the Sanpara footswitch? I am planning on making a footswitch for the 12 available, but if it was possible to access the rest that would be even better! Though, I am not sure if they could be activated the same way as the 12 built-in ones (bank and button setup).
@RickyRoro777 No. You would have to this mod. There are different versions which work the same way. This one being the best version. Then install a midi unit so you could hook up the sanpera to unlock those presets.

This is a superb mod for this little amp. Some of the stompbox effects are WAY nicer that the default 'rack' effects. I prefer the analog chorus (stompbox) to the digital one everytime, the digital one is to phasey.. Although the analog (stompbox) phaser and 'rack' phaser both have their merits. Thumbs up if you want a video demo.
@rrgert4 from the factory, yes, only the 30W model has them enabled and has the rotary switch to turn them on. But this mod unlocks them on the 15W model, since both models use the same mainboard circuitry.
@rrgert4 - Stompox effects are: XR Wild (overdrive), X Boost, Fuzz, BC Chorus (analog), Squeeze (compressor), Ring Modulator, Auto Wah, Analog Flange, MOG (Monophonic Octave Generator), Analog Phaser, Tube Screamer. When you've done the mod, the Tube Screamer effect moves to the stombox section, and the Tube Screamer light on the ('rack') Effects section becomes the indicator for the Looper function, which can only be enabled with the additional MIDI mod and then the Sanpera pedal.
How come your tube screamer doesnt suck so hard? When i use tube screamer, the only thing he actually amplifies is the sound of the picking/scratching, so i cant use it :S
Hey dude I'm getting this amp verry soon and I'm wondering: can you turn all the effects of the amp off (bypass everything) and run clean unprocesed guitar (just the guitar itself with the sounds of the pickups), and use it with multi fx processor ?
@blackstrat6897 The 15 watt and higher models all have the same encoder and preamp curcuit boards . The only thing diff is stompbox part of the board is broken off and a jumper was left out . By making that jumper connection, will make the amp think its 30 watt . Activating stompboxes, midi and usd functions. After that it's just matter of controls so you can use them like he did . I have two switches and control mine with the amp nob .
@rundell318 So did you buy this version or manually add the stompboxes I don't want to pay an extra 100 for the 30 watt if I can find the stompboxes on the 15 watter :P
I have this amp, and I really like it. But with this mod it looks really really cool. Some day I'll have to mod it. But, if the mod is so easy, its because the 15W and the 30W have the same circuits Am I right?? Peavey could put the fu***** knob with no extra costs.
hey man,i just want to ask you something. i'm actually planning to buy a new amp and i play metal,post-hardcore and some punk. my top 2 choices are the peavey vypyr and the line 6 spider IV. some of my friends suggested the vypyr and some of them suggested the line 6 spider. in your opinion,which is better that can really suit my style?i would appreciate you opinion.
Do you think it also has a slot for the power squeezer? A lot of people say they can't hear a difference when using it but I do and I was just wondering if there might be one on the 15 or 30 watt Vypyr.
the btton in midlle of input and the botton of amp what is for cause ive been looking some other videos and it doesnt exist but the amp is the same,,,why?
OMFG. THANKS! I was gonna go for the 30 watts because you can't connect Sanpera on Vypyr 15 but because I saw this and i'm low on budget so i'm gonna get a Vypyr 15 and I'm gonna do the MIDI thingy xD.
@snoozel333 Check if the headphone out works correctly. You can try to upgrade firmware (you need MIDI interface to do so - check my page for details). It could also be the problem with power amplifier... hard to say.
@snoozel333 i have the 30 watt and it only takes maybe 5 seconds to warm up and after that i'm good, but i have noticed at lower volumes it does tend to cut out a little.
All PCBs are made by myself;) The LEDs must be common anode (not usual) - if you can't get them in your place, let me know, I could source some. Email me, if you are interested in DIY kit.
Hey i tried emailing you about modifiying my vypyr 15 but your email is out of service or whatever. I have no soldering or diy experience and would like to get the features of the higher models on my vypyr 15
Thanks. Yes, all stompbox effects are available after the modification, including Fuzz - check Vypyr Handbook for details (downloadable from Peavay website).
So the 15 watt has the built in looper effect also you just need to install a female midi jack into the back panel? and that would also allow you to run updates for your amp as well?
Actually I don't have any wiring diagram and I'm too lazy to create it. If you have some electronics background, it's easy to guess it from the pictures.... ;)
I don't have a 15 I have the tube 60 but was wanting something smaller to be easier to take to friends houses. I have held off on the 15 for the reason of not having the stomp boxes and don't know how much more portable the 30 will really be than the 60. But by all means thank you just the same. And this is really cool that you have discovered this it will help many 15 owners.
I've noticed that there is missing part on the front panel PCB (like broken off). It was part where other models have stompbox selector. So my guess was that all models share the same front panel PCB and maybe if I add the missing part, it starts working. And It proved to be true. I've followed cut off tracks and analyzed how the front panel works. From all this I've derived how to replicate missing part... That's how;)
