Peavey Vypyr X2 and Line 6 Catalyst High Gain (part 1)

[@jgmopar]

Ever since I was a Kid I have always love the Fight fire with fire riff. Thanks for the comparisons. The decision may just be to buy both lol

[@benchristopher76]

Awesome

I got the Peavey Vypyr-2 to add more gain and features to my V-plex 50, by adding another amplifier to my stereo set-up. The peavey, by itself is a very good amplifier, with loads of features, amp modeling, tons of effects, and even a acoustic guitar setting. The amp has a arsenal of effects, my pedalboard is linked in, so Im using it my specifications. I am happy with the peavey, I think, they struck gold, with this amp, I even got fender tones, out of the clean settings, just more solid gain to my solos. I got this set-up in my practice part of my studio.

Excellent demonstration ‼️😎🔥. Both sound stellar and both only weigh 26 pounds 🎸🥰

[@benchristopher76]

Thank you!

Peavey has a nice tight chunk in there, ill give it that, but its wrapped in a ball of fizz. Man so fizzy sounding! Line 6 is much warmer with nearly the same gain. Eh, i know its tough to really hear over a youtube vid. Great video though.

Catalyst sounded much better. Btw, just today I was testing the Vypyr X1 at a guitar store, and it broke after just 5 minutes of play. Not like I even took it to it's limits, I played with master volume at 1

[@milotin2755]

So what ? I work in quality control and these things happen. Just because one broke because someone got lazy on a Chinese production line and over looked something doesn't mean they all will

[@mikemanne8112]

The peavey is a very good amp, way better than i expected ! You proably blew the speaker, on too much gain or loudness ! My peavey is ok.

[@williamdon3442]

Just ordered a catalyst today. Really looking forward to it. Last amp I had like this was the vypr.

[@benchristopher76]

It's pretty cool. All of these amps (Catalysts, Vypyrs, Katanas) are cool. I wish this stuff would have been available when I was getting started.

[@alexskibicki2262]

Awesome demo, Ben. 😎🤘🏻🎸 both amps sounds good on their own, but personally I liked the peavey vypyr x2 more for its raw and heavy tones. To my ears, it has that Randall like tone that reminds me of pantera. I’m definitely considering buying the peavey vypyr x2. Especially since I’m a huge fan of peavey guitar amps.

[@Jose-it9po]

How are you getting that tone out of the Peavey? I’m trying to dial mine in but it still sounds too bluesy and not enough chugg.

[@benchristopher76]

6505 or 6534 model... red channel

[@DeadShred9]

Anyone know how I can use my Blackstar 10-w as a external speaker with my Peavey Vypyr X1 ???

[@ShreQue305]

Peavey has more clarity, definitely the winner.

[@mikemanne8112]

I liked the peavey vypvr -2

[@evadesc]

Do they both have a low wattage mode (like the katana 0.5watt) for home playing?

[@benchristopher76]

They don't, but they can be played real quiet if you play with the volume controls a bit... Feather the master and channel/ post controls and you don't need a low watt mode on these. I like the function on my Katanas and Laney IRT SLS, though.

[@edgonzalez2823]

The peavy sound much better for my taste,

[@knucklesandwich6117]

Catalyst way more dynamic

[@onezday461]

What were the catalyst settings?

[@benchristopher76]

I will have to look

[@TheCyberMantis]

Katana head into a 4x12 cab. Winner.

[@Arcziwwy]

I was watching many yt videos on Vypyr x2/x3/Katana artist 100 and normal version of 100. And i thought i will buy vypyr x3 but now i'm confused because here peavey x2 is sounding like an amp for few bucks... :( ... and line 6 is owning him like an adult beating kid.

[@benchristopher76]

The X2 is a great amp. Will get the job done. I dig the Catalyst, too.
