Vypyr® Pro

Modeling Amplifier

Congratulations on the purchase of the most advanced modeling amplier to date! Peavey® introduces its newest member of the VYPYR
Series, the VYPYR PRO 100. As the name implies, the VYPYR PRO is an amp featuring professional-grade tone and features, in a unique
and intuitive layout. Because of the advanced dual processor design, the VYPYR Pro can run up to four amplier models in parallel. Using
the VYPYR Pro’s unique architecture, the VYPYR is capable of designing a variety of signal path combinations. Four module bays each
with their own distinct LCD can be assigned to an amplier, eect, stomp box, or in the rst position an instrument model.

e modules can be assigned in any order, allowing the user the ability to create the exact rig they desire, even if they desire to run two or
up to four ampliers in parallel. With up to 5 parameters to precisely control eects, multiple delay types and advanced features such as
MSDI (microphone simulated direct interface), direct output, eects loop, and MIDI control allow the professional player to create the rig
of their dreams inside a single combo amplier.

e VYPYR Pro continues the tradition of appropriate technology using 4 stages of patented TransTube® analog gain to create the most re­alistic tube sounding distortion in any modeling amplier. By using analog distortion, the VYPYR Pro’s digital processor has the amazing
ability to oer almost limitless combinations of additional stompboxes, “rack” eects, ampliers and now even instrument models. e
result is an overall better and cleaner tone.

Recording is a mainstay of the VYPYR Pro design. With the most advanced USB audio system in any VYPYR, the Pro was designed from
the beginning for home recording. e VYPYR Pro also features an analog speaker and microphone simulated direct out for recording as
well.

With 500 presets available and dozens of dierent models of eects, reverbs, delays and ampliers, the VYPYR Pro is the most innovative
and advanced modeling amplier on the planet. Designed for the working musician by the musicians at Peavey Electronics, it is perhaps
the most versatile amp ever created.

e perfect companion for the VYPYR Pro, Peavey’s updated Sanpera® Pro Footcontroller unlocks all the power of the VYPYR Pro. e
Sanpera Pro’s dual expression pedals can be assigned to the default setting (volume on le, wah on right), and to 3 dierent stompbox or
eects parameters! e Sanpera Pro’s expression pedals are also range denable. e footcontroller also features a boost switch, tap tem­po, a chromatic tuner, and looper controls that allow users to generate multi-track loops.

AT-200™ integration is a key part of the VYPYR Pro design. e MIDI output allows the VYPYR Pro to communicate with Peavey’s revo­lutionary AT-200 guitar in order to change presets inside the guitar with one simple VYPYR Pro button press (requires an AT-200 guitar
loaded with one of the optional feature packs, available at www.autotuneforguitar.com)

is is the receptacle for an IEC line cord, which provides AC power to the unit. Connect the line

cord to this connector to provide power to the unit. Damage to the equipment may result if improper
line voltage is used. Never break o the ground pin on any equipment. It is provided for your safety. If the
outlet used does not have a ground pin, a suitable grounding adapter should be used and the third wire
should be grounded properly. To prevent the risk of shock or re hazard, always make sure that the ampli­er and all associated equipment is properly grounded.

NOTE: FOR UK ONLY

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: (1) e wire which is coloured green
and yellow must be connected to the terminal which is marked by the letter E, or by the Earth symbol, or
coloured green or green and yellow. (2) e wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the termi­nal which is marked with the letter N, or the colour black. (3) e wire which is coloured brown must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L, or the colour red.

18

Power Sponge

e Power Sponge allows the user to adjust the natural clipping or distortion of the power amp section of
the amplier. is feature allows the amplier headroom to be raised or lowered, thus, allowing the am­plier to be “pushed” at a much lower volume. At a setting of 100%, the amp will have greater clean head­room; at 50%, the amp will begin to distort at the same volume. e maximum attenuation capability of
this control can result in as low as 1% of the rated output power.

19

MICROPHONE SIMULATED DIRECT INTERFACE - MSDI™

Peavey’s exclusive MSDI™ simulates the sound of a microphone placed approximately 8” from a loud­speaker cone, allowing the user to send an accurate, good quality signal to the mixing console without
any acoustic spill from other instruments on stage. is is a non-powered output and safe for use with any
mixing console. is output can also be used for recording.

20

Speaker Engage/Defeat Switch

is eectively disconnects the speaker, and enables the user to monitor their playing using the signal from
either the MSDI™ or USB outputs.
