Vypyr Pro 12 String

Post by redhanded » Thu Feb 11, 2016 8:39 am

Anybody have any luck getting a good 12 string sound? So far all my attempts sound like a kettle drum. :shock:

It seems like the Vypry Pro is capable of a great 12 string sound if you check out this YouTube demo at the 2 minute mark. https://youtu.be/ZTL-MMp8owo

If anybody at Peavey sees this I would love to know how Michael Smith got that sound!

That 12-string sound is coming from the AT-200 guitar. He was demoing it as a system. The Vypyr Pro's MIDI out sends a program change to the guitar when you change amp presets. It can be any preset number you want to send - not automatically the same number the amp is on. You can quickly get different tones and tunings that way, too.

To be more precise, for the demo he's using the Peavey AT-200 guitar with an additional cost Antares upgrade pack which offers various instrument models and preset functions, (the plain AT200 just does auto-tune) and the AT200B breakout box and 8-pin cable which is feeding MIDI into the guitar from the amp preset which he selects with the Sanpera Pro foot switch.

Here's a link to the upgrade packs... https://transactions.antarestech.com/at ... ducts.aspx

For those of us that don't own / won't be getting the AT-200, is there a setup that'll get a decent 12-string tone out of the VPro??
