Re: NAD ! !
I had a Vypyr 75 and Sanpera I when they first came out. Great tone and many good effects. I can only imagine that the 60, being a tube power amp sounds at least as good, or better. I bought mine with the main purpose of using it live. That didn't work out well. Switching patches on-the-fly was difficult with the Sanpera due to the closeness of the buttons and I would trigger unwanted changes (trying to sing lead and changing from rhythm to lead guitar in a 3 pc. band where breaks in continuity weren't acceptable). Also, on the earlier models, sometimes during a switch, it would lock up, much like an old windows operating system. That required shutting down and re-powering to clear.
It had to go...just too cumbersome and problematic for mys use on gigs. Hope the newer versions' software has corrected the lock-ups, but still, I know I'd struggle big time with the Sanpera I let alone the II. But as I stated at the beginning, some great tones to be had. Wish you the best with it.

Want to decrease the cheesy effect? De-fang it. That piece of plastic with the fangs is easily removed with a couple screws and insert a piece of scrap guitar or mic cord from the back to fill in the small gap. I thought it improved the looks considerably, and it's easily reversible.

Actually found a guy on the Peavey forum that modified the mainboard to add an effects loop and I go out of that into the computer. Sold the speaker (and Sanpera pedal that came with it) for what I paid for everything, so the amp was basically free.

Re: NAD ! !
Saw that mod as well. The idea sounds great, but I'm unsure how other speakers would sound given its a modeler. I have yet to venture down the road of playing through my computer with software. I rather like the simplicity of most amps, but to shape the exact tone in your head to a recording has to be remarkable! I've been seeing your threads about flipping guitars and such. I do the same. All my gear is 0 out of pocket over the past year or so. That aspect is very fun as well!
