Hey there,
Peavey vypyr pro owner here. Still very new to electric guitars.
I have a problem, which is very obvious on the clean amp models. The high e string has less than two seconds sustain before dropping off a cliff. Really noticeable when fretting at the 7th and 9th. If you try and let a D chord ring out, it breaks up rather quickly. I'd attach a sound file if I could.
The guitar has recently been set up by a luthier (3 days ago), and not just some guy at a store. It is also a fairly expensive guitar, over 3k in Australian dollars.
Could this be an amp problem?
Could poor sustain be an amp problem?

The Vypyr noise gate has a lot to do with sustain (or the lack thereof).
