Any one ever played with one, what do you think any suggestions.

I think I am gonna get a Peavy viper 75 next week.

Line6 are great.

a 99 dollar Spider15 can do a lot for dudes on a budget. Ive even used them in a small 3 piece gig before.

Been looking at the line 6 also, the thing that swings me to the peavey is the Sanpera 2 pedal, looks likes hours of fun.

Im not familiar with the sanpera pedal. I generally dont follow Peavey, unless I happen to run into something. For example there was a friend of mine that had something called a TransTube 212 by Peavey that sat embarrassingly ignored for months while people bought the Line6's all around it. I finally had to break the news that no one wanted his amp. Personally after hearing the sounds, I felt like it should be put out of its misery.

So aside from the 5150, I'd never been overly impressed with the amp lineups of Peavey, they were unremarkable and basic, and somewhat functional, sort of like Crate.

Ive never tried or heard the Vyper so I couldnt comment upon it. All the student amps I use at the Academy are Spider 15's.

I've got the Spider IV30, it sounds good, plenty of effects, just teamed it with a pocket pod for more tones than I know what to do with :-)

Just got the peavey 75, good there great for the money, tons to play with.

Its just a shame that modelling upsets the purest.
