I decided to order the VIP 3, when I learned that the Noise Gate issue had been corrected. When I learned that the new VIP series was available, I was intrigued. I use the Vypyr 75 for teaching guitar lessons. The poor Noise Gate implementation has held back this amp from what it's true tonal capabilities are. It also adversely affected sustain and touch sensitivity. The original Vypyr Noise Gate would choke off notes, and was especially noticeable on medium gain tones. While I think it is a great solid-state modeler, the built-in Noise Gate (which is not adjustable) has always been a sore spot. I use the THR10 as a bedroom practice amp, and when I am not using it as an amp, I use it's Hi-Fi capabilities to play music through. Another recent modeler I picked up is the Yamaha THR10 (great little amp).which I have next to my bed on the nightstand. I still own my original Valvetronix AD120VTH "blue" head, as well as the DigiTech GSP1101. Just for a bit of background: I own both tube amps as well as have owned a fair share of the major modeling amps over the years (starting with the original Line 6 Ax 2 212). Below is a short review I posted on the Peavey Vypyr Forums.
