    Attenuation too shrill treble, bass highlighting originally surphasées.
    I will now retrieve me a good little analog compressor
    might as well get a sound very balanced and personalized

    For 1 years.
    I love the surprises that reserves this device when combined with 2/3 adequate effects.
    A lot of amps
    This one has a character of its own.

    SONORITS

    The sound is very good as is (a heat lamps!) But actually in lead ... in a metal register / extreme, has a little drool in the bass.
    So I connect a mono equalizer 31 bands in the effects loop and ... DEADLY !!!
    By transferring / mitigating certain frequencies in the low, we get something frankly excellent!
    We must also think to buy a compression pedal .... but good, is obvious.
    I prefer the sounds: once galis all! This is awesome.
    This amp does not blow !!

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    I use it for 2 months
    with external equalizer, is happiness. My problem is transportation (22kg amp + guitar + eq + + effects pedals ...)
    It is for this reason that I spare myself. I resell for a simple emulator crankset.
    I tried more expensive 3X lamps amps, 30X more breath, 300X more fragile for a questionable sound.
    EXCELLENT quality price ratio
    Yes, I repeat that choice but then delivered bundled with Fenwick!

    I bought this amp with my godin guitar and got a sweet deal on it (somthing like $400 CAN before taxes). I bought it from Murch Music in Ontarion, Canada after having it reocomended to me from a friend. 80/100 watt.

    This is an amzing amp, sounds great with tons of different guitars and any style of music, has lots of different sounds and settings to play with and amazing distortion.

    Nothing really, abit heavy and bulky, could use a head phone jack...but who needs that when you can just piss of the neighbors with the amzing volume this amp puts out for a 80 watt.

    Amazing amp for the money and size. Good for anything and everything. I have no doubt that this amp could blow away any other amp in its price range and size with its superior sound quality and settings. Now go out and buy one so you can go show it off.

    i do not have this amp yet but i will be getting it soon. i will be getting it from my local music store called mac's music store. it is a very good priced amp at only £200 second hand.

    it is a very good quality amp and the sheffield speaker gives out good overdriven sound and a nice clean sound. the reverb is very good for lots of differnt styles. you could use this amp for probably any stule of music from blues to rock and to metal i think that the best feature of this amp is the thrash distortion setting.

    very well built good strong design.

    so all i can say is that it is a bloody good amp.

    After comparing all the specs I could find on the web, and hearing all the different amps I could, I decided to purchase the Peavey Bandit 112 from The Whitehouse of Music in West Bend, WI because it was hands-down the best amp of the type I was looking for. I paid $350.00 for it. What a bargain !!

    This little amp does it all. It has two channels (footswitchable) that have low, mid, and high EQ adjustment (don't find that on many amps) but it also has a "modern" and "vintage" setting that adjusts the overall voicing of the clean channel.

This is very nice. The lead channel has the same feature but also adds a high gain voicing. You can push this channel WAY over the top. Whatever crunch you want, this amp's got it!! The last thing I like is the T Dynamics setting on the power amp. It is described as a power level control (I thought is was like master volume) but it is really a compressor. You can dial-in just the right amount of compression you need.

    Stand-alone, the amp is very quiet. When I connect my Peavey UltraVerb II, DigiTech GNX1, or t.c. electronic M-ONE XL to the effects loop there is a noticable rise in the power amp noise, BUT, having the effects inserted this way keeps that noise level constant, cranking-up the input volume doesn't mean even more noise from the effects.
    All-in-all, I have no dislikes. I'm very pleased with this amp!

    It's light in weight and seems to be built well. I haven't dropped it down the basement stairs (yet) but I expect it would live to play another day.

    The bottom line is if you're looking for a nice little combo amp both for playing at home and out gigging, don't look any further. This is your amp !! Just buy one, you won't be disappointed.

    I bought this amp at daddy's junky music. I paid $350.00 for it. It's a great amp. You can get all kinds of sounds from country/blues-rock/metal.

    Looks and features are great. Loud and from what the sales people told me it's the absolute best in the price range.

    Nothing

    Well built

    I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good amp to practice on in private or for band practice

    I acquired this Guitar Amplifier from Steve's Music, in downtown Ottawa. The unit was a rather cheap price for 800$ for 300 watts, I tested it in the store and I found it to my liking.

    I liked this unit because the channel switching was very convenient and the different tones of distortion and clean channels was also useful. I also liked the Bandit 112 because it had a very clean sound and gave a lot of variety for different tastes in guitar playing.

    Although this amplifier was great and there wasn't much I didn't like, there was a slight ringing sound after i played with it for awhile, the ringing sound went away after but I found that if you played it for too long it get's testy and sta…

    Although this amplifier was great and there wasn't much I didn't like, there was a slight ringing sound after i played with it for awhile, the ringing sound went away after but I found that if you played it for too long it get's testy and starts making strange noises. Don't let the ringing sound keep you from purchasing the unit, other than that ringing sound it was a superb sounding item, and nothing's perfect anyways.

    The construction and quality of this unit were very satisfactory, the stubby squared figure with the hard plastic corners gave it a very durable surface, the leather exterior of it was also a great addition to this amazing piece of work.

    In closing I thought that the Bandit 112 is a great amplifie for any performing guitarists of a small crowd. I would highly recommend this unit over any of the other Bandit models, made by Peavey.

    I bought this thang at Bailey Brothers Music in B'ham for 399 i believe. THey threw in a strap and 20 foot chord, so if you figure that in, i paid about 365 for it.


    This amp really has some punch. It sounds great, and has namy quickly switched built in effects. I am starting to think tha ti dont need after markey pedals for distortion and such.


    Hrmm, so far i like it. There is nothing to complain about.

    This amp is LOUD and sounds good when LOUD. Lots of knobs to have fun with and find your sound. Once again Good clean LOUD amp.

    I purchased this amp from a local guitar shop. I play everything from the Beatles to Metallica. This amp is unbelievable!!! You want classic rock just a flip of the switch and it sounds like a clean classic tone. Sounds like your running a 60's amp with the whole tube thing going!!! Another flip and adjustment on the amp and you can play Country music! Yet another flip and adjustment and your sounding like Metallica! This amp is awsome for the whole $378.00 I paid. Has 12" speaker and 100watts / 80 watts power!!!

    Appearance is very desirable. Peavey really took care of use on this one right down to the small detail on the control panel.

    UTILIZATION

    The quality is prampli personally, I play this amp with a Gibson sg standard, ibanez and a 77 custom or three shovels full diffrent jobtiens with these three and they sound great, and all that quite easily.
    Personally, I play almost exclusively on the Tone vintage clean and lead, the sound has got me really great!

    SOUNDS

    Particulirement I play more rock / hard rock style of Led Zeppelin, ACDC, queen, scorpions ... short, for most it is ncessaire to have his warm and fat, and he comes ... He even had the right time to find the sound I needed, because the bass is not a dominant and got my ds that increases a little, "g che "Aiges a bit, that's why we really need to go minuscieusement ...
    In terms of death, thrash, black etc. ... I think it will be fine even if the HP is too much saturated sil gain and too low ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    Finally, I have been using it about 6 months now and I'm pretty happy I went through a lot of amp before finding this one (Marshall MG100, h & k. ..).
    The report quality price honnte trs.
    With exprience, I would do this choice, in short if I just change it to buy an amp lamp

    We had to make a full transistor
    with a power of 80W, with 100 housing supplmentaire

    2 inputs, high and low (always fun) to clear a volume, a 3-band eq and a selector of "voicing" a selector channel, distortion, pre and post gain, 3 band EQ and also a "voicing" a reverb, no effects (good).

    UTILIZATION

    Setup is simple and classic ASEZ
    we get easily a good sound when looking around
    and no need for manual, it's going almost alone

    I love the crystal clear trs kind fender and almost distos msa, I hate the crunch too "grimey" and the blues without heat

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it only for a year at home, it's perfect
    I love his polyvalenceet the power selector in the back, you can almost do everything, but must be modified to get the meilleurdommage that the pedals are not provided, it would have t more.
    I have tried other products of the same type (Marshall MG100 etc.., horrible)
    I jug trs good for the price.
    I would do without this choice hsiter, I was looking for a powerful enough amp for rpeter a home, I directly replace the original HP by a celestion g12hot100 (+ / - 68 eur), foot, 80 seventy one would have sufficed (cheaper) but has done so much

    I obtain a sound very easily with the crystal blue marvel, but a faith change the hp (a celestion century it seems to me) are much more accurate is a delight.

    We easily get a little fat in his playing shape with the bass is crazy!

    and is very comfortable in the concert or repeated (we also adjusted the little power with a switch that provides 25% 50% or 100% power)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had 2 years, I like everyone on this amp, I tested a marshall mg 100 (lool) has a vox modeling. I selected direct sound is really terrible!
    The value for money is awesome!

    I bought it for group play, but unfortunately I have none, so I have not the utility of its 80 watts, so I sold it, but I do not regret it a great tit grandpa! I would do without hesitation that choice.

    SOUNDS

    My personal solution to get the sound I always wanted from this amp:

    Old 31-band EQ in the FX loop (I bought it really cheap on ebay)!

    I now get every sound I want.

    I use it to attenuate the shrilling high frequencies and to shape the low-end.

    I will soon buy a good analog compressor

    to get a well-balanced and personalized sound.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's been one year.

    I like the amp's possibilities when it's combined with 2 or 3 well-chosen effects.

    I own several amps.

    This one has a very personal sound character.

    I like it a lot and I won't sell it.

    Good value for money.
