Peavey Vypyr X2 and X3 (Quick Comparison) 

Both sound pretty good. I am surprised Peavey didn't push this amp more. There are no decent demos except this. I would have bought one for my son!

legend...there's no good demos of these Amps online currently except your last one and the peavey promo. I'm tossing up between a X2 or X3 and now hearing it, the X3 is dramatic improvement..I would have loved to hear you use the power sponge attenuation dial on this amp, as well as run an acoustic through it.

I just got my Vypyr X2 that I ordered back in July.....darn good amp! Don't think it'll replace my Marshall on stage....but it's very versatile and has some great sounding amp sims... and it weighs less than my Marshall and I ain't getting any younger, so ya never know 😬👍

Seems like they smoothed over some of the 'fizziness' that im not crazy about on some peavey amps. That x3 actually sounds damn good taking into account its just a youtube video. Nice job. Great vids

I got the X3, and peavey did a great job with this. The build quality is solid, pots are super smooth, the sound is greater, British amp does stellar acdc , best 5150 modelling, xxx sounds exactly like xxx. peavey model their own Amps awesomely. app works well, loud as hell, Bluetooth works only when Jack is plugged into the app, but music sounds great..again is loud as PA system.You need a pin in the manual 7878 to connect to the amp. Can't wait to break the speaker in more. App works flawlessly even if is looks a little primative, it controls the amp perfectly without having to bend down to change it. Love it. Black plate is a finger print magnet, but who cares. No manual, only online.

To my ears the X2 sounds way better, it has a depth while the x3 sounds flat and one dimensional. Its not only your videos its on all of the videos I have seen. I am disappointed that in one of the highest gain amps out there I could not find a noise gate in it, but for sound I cant find anything solid state that touches that X2. Thank your for your videos.

Awesome playing! Especially that Testament riff!

Sounds good, especially the X3. I haven't owned a Peavey amp in years but I may have to look into this one.

im mostly a bedroom player and have never been to picky about my tone. I just bought one an x3, upgrading from an old line 6 spider 3 that I've had since middle school hahahahahahaha. from what I've heard in this video I'm stoked to get it in haha thanks for the demo man!

Maybe it was a difference in mic placement but the x2 sounded louder and clearer.

X3 took me a couple days to get hang of using the settings. I read no instructions and the digital read out and changing presents, effects, etc. was a bit confusing and was really pissing me off until I understood it. So, anyone looking to buy one maybe consider learning about settings on X3 so you won't be annoyed day1 trying to figure out how to find tone you're looking for! As a player who's a intermediate player, I just bought the X3. I wanted something nicer than starter gear. Reason I bought x3? the metal/lead gain is good in terms of its direct competition. I wanted a nice cabinet, nice head, and nice pedal, and I knew what I wanted but those items combined put me over my price point. I felt cheap $200 amp and $200 cabinet would have been a waste of money personally this X3 sounded better than cabinet and $200 amp I was looking at plus this combo amp feel will survive me a long time, atleast for practicing, I bought the $400 12" model X3, and it does what I need it to do for now.

Definitely picking up an x3...Like you said,wish they had a 212 or was able to plug into a cabinet!

I had a Peavey XXL + Carvin Column 4x12 on Celestion G12T-75 and it was the best thing i ever heard. We can't find Peavey XXL from USA now and we need to take Peavey only from China - but this sound is really awesome here in video both of them. Such a shame it's not the same and it's really differently - now i don't know which one to buy to home xD...

we have difficulties to found videos on New Peavey Vypyr X amp.... and today, Line 6 came with their new amp line, Catalyst... and many videos already today!

Awesome killer Testament riffs!!!!!!!

Just got an x2. Thanks for the demo

I have an X3 on backorder. Can't wait to thrash on it. 🤘

To me the X2 sounds better in the video but I prefer the X3 and am hoping it will sound as good in person for lack of better words. Do the Sanpera pedals work with these amps? If so which ones; Sanpera 1, II or the Pro foot controller? Hoping the II works. Gotta get one of these amps!

I’m stuck between choosing the vypyr x3 or the boss katana artist for my first practice amplifier.

Hell yeah, Testament - Over The Wall \m/. Happened to get the X2 today, but they didn't have the X3, i got a deal

Was there a volume drop on the x3? The x2 sounds fantastic, but when switched to the x3 it sounded "lifeless"

I just received the X2 today from AMS because of your vids. I like the sound of the X2 better in your vid than the X3. The X2 sounds tighter to me. Probably because of the smaller enclosure? I wish I knew your exact dirty settings for the X2. It sounds like you prefer the X2. Is that correct? Either way,great amps for the money during these crazy expensive times

I have a vypyr x2, only a week old as of July 10, 2022. Worked great. Bought a new sanpera 2 switcher. Plugged it in and the amp has no sound. Unplugged the sanpera and the amp still has no sound. The amp lights up, the pedal lights up, no sound. I did a factory reset after I unplugged the sanpera from the vypyr x2. Still no sound, at all. I checked my cable, it's fine. I tried to use my wireless with it, the wireless is fine. Just no sound no matter what I try.. what gives? I reached out to peavey. And haven't received a response.. pretty unhappy at the moment. I'd hate to have to return it. Killer sounding amp before this happened.

Amazing playing⚡⚡x3👍

I think that both amps sound great like you said they each have their place. I personally think the x3 has a bit more of a rounded out warmer tone that the x2. I'd like to see how it reacts with a boss overdrive SD1 in the front. My Marshall valvestate recently gave up on me so I'm looking to replace it. I was looking at the line 6 Catalyst as well but I'm digging the x3 a lot I may be going with the x3

X2 All the way! Sounds like the record:)

Tracking shows my X3 will be here tomorrow!

I have the x3 and I'm dominantly a metal player. Is there any way to get rid of the buzzing and feedback I get from the high gain tones when playing in a bedroom setting?

Someone please tell me, should I get the Vypyr X3 or the Bandit 112 (newest version)?

How do these sound compared to the original vypyr 75 from 2008? Worth an upgrade?

Were they each on the exact same amp/ effect setting (with regard to the wattage and cab differences of course) ?? To me, the X2 sounds way more alive, while the X3 has a neutered sterility sound. For example; the X2 sounds like the treble was at like an 8 out of 10, and mid at about 5.5 out of 10 -------while the X3 sounded like treble was at a 4 out of 10, and mid about 7 out of 10. Not that higher treble equates to more liveliness, or better sound, just happens to seem the case here for my ears. I want to like the X3 more, but the X2 sounds like a beast in a box, while the X3 sounds more like a dog in a box. The only 2 immediate complaints that come to mind for both, are 1) Not having a loop function directly from the amp, but instead must use their proprietary pedal in order to access the feature-- It's 2022, seriously how hard was it to implement this simple function without needing pedal? Major thumbs down to them for that. Should be a simple start/ stop button to loop, with maybe a little metronome count beforehand. And 2) the X3 while although having a sleeker LCD screen (albeit super basic looking and function wise for todays technology,) I find it quite annoying to navigate through the amp features VIA the LCD screen and buttons to show/ select what you want. In comparison, with the X2, you can simply twist the knob to exactly where you want to be, as it is visually written around the control interface. Of course this can be negated on both amps if you save your own presets-- but what if you don't want to create and save multiple sound configurations.. The X2 just seems more fluid, and at the twist of a knob, you can darn near instantly have whatever sound it is you're looking for. The X3 however, I don't like having to press multiple buttons multiple times to get to where I want to go.. basically the X2 is faster in terms of seeking out your tones. I'm 99 percent certain I like the X2 much more now for these reasons, and the environment I'll be playing in. However for anything live/ jam session type environments, or playing with a live drummer-- I would choose the X3 over the X2 simply and only for more power/ loudness. But thanks for the vid!!

So I’m looking at getting an X2 as a practice amp for my son who is just learning guitar. I have seen the X2 listed online as 40 watt and 60 watt. It shows 60 watt on the Peavey website. Can anyone tell me for sure which it is...40 watt or 60 watt? Thanks!

what does abst mean on the x3 inst/stomp area it would be nice if the abbreviations had an explanation

Over the Wall!!

Ordering a x3 next week

I just bought online the X2, but now Im liking the X3 sound better, but they still out of stock.

😂sir how to improve the sound of peavey vypyr x2 there are options that I could ignore thanks😊

Hi, can you compare x2 with vypyr x1?

X3 makes the X2 sound like a kids toy

Nice short review and comparison question can a person set the eq on the x3 to sound more like the x2 love x2 sound but the power of the x 3 ?? Thank you

🤘Testament 🤘

How to get the best Metal Distortion Sound with out Max Volume on Guitar ect Live in a Apartment

Great video! For home playing, metal music with a 7 strings, sometimes in Drop A. Which one you recommend?

Hi.. Can this amp do direct using speaker sim or Direct Box?

If it's not too much of a hassle, can you tell me the exact high gain settings you have on the X2 for this video I love the high gain sound. The X2 seems louder and more upfront. When you switch between the X2 and X3 ,it sounds like the X3 loses power over the X2. The X3 has a more closed sound. Maybe cabinet design/size

The X3 sounds more natural. X2 is a little fizzy sounding.

What guitar is that? Thanks.

Beautiful guitar! What color Is?

Can you do a demo on how to do custom presets?

are you playing midland?

What is that guitar? Love it

Until Peavey get's their head out of their butt, and releases a 100-watt Vypyr HEAD..... Katana head is the winner. Same thing with Catalyst. No HEAD option. Most guitar players have cabs. We don't need another "combo amp".

Take off that face mask...?

Jesus.. just buy a Katana

Too much yackin’ not enough playing !!!
