USE

Simple configuration
User-amp, and very good switch for its clear sound vintage and modern
and distortion with modern, metal and vintage
Manuel clear but very few examples of rglages (6a total: 3 and 3 clear distortion)

SONORITS

Fits all styles thanks to the famous rglages
I plug my Fender Cyclone on and I go really full of his DIFFERENT
The distortion is trsmchante and without adding any distortion pedal but I clean sounds "passable"

NOTICE GLOBAL

I have the amp for 2 years
I like the variety of sounds
Beware the power that is limited for group play (I play alone, but I did some experiments)
I bought this model by comparing with the VORTEX H & K for the look but it has only rglage of tonality agu, medium and severe for the clean channel and saturbr /> Report qualitprix good 450 if I remember correctly
But with the experience I do not rachrais this model for the following reasons:
- I did not need as much power
- No headphone jack
- Clear Sounds blah!
Today I am branch on:
- Laney VC30
- Crate Series V
- Line 6 Combo Duoverb
- Mesa Boogie (but we'll see in 20 years)

80w / 100w
2 channels: lead (3 modes, EQ gain volume) clean (2modes, EQ volume)
reverb
1 Gnrale presence
1 pota to the lamp Sim (analog)
2 between hi and low
1 effects loop
1 output for extension
1 direct input into the amp (for the pre-amp zapp)
1 footswitchable channel and effects loop
the trash peavey logo better than the old one, wouaihhh !!!

USE

The config is very simple: I chose the method that I prefer per channel (modern, vintage to clean, and HiGain, modern, vintage to lead) a pitite qualization channels, presence and reverb and round is played!

SONORITS

WARF !!! l I t really surprised when I first use, it has me ready for a concert, I immediately acroch suddenly two weeks after I sold my old comobos for my joyful Bandit!
More seriously:
clean:
it sounds clean, net, for cons there is no adjustment for the presence of just clean what would have hardly fair cresiller history to have OD of origin.
the difference between the vintage and modern fashion is subtle, a slight heat for the vintage, but there is nothing to toast a fair merguez it.
lead:
wow! I love the, well you tell me that this is the transistor, it takes breaks (dsl for spelling ... I have gap) has roared! warmly synthetically or it is you who secure the 3 modes are typs here is give you a range of friendly sonority:
Vintage: are bold BigMuff style
modern: the sound of maintenand what ... in the style of a two (good will is not one when memeu)
HiGain: wiiinnnnnnn !!! attention to feedback, and grat with high nv out! good is when drinking the same but I do not use it too much, it sounds scoop what!
if there is a gain of pota, volume, and EQ.

master level, there is no nal volume (bad). Both pota, presence and tube emulation is not used much in my opinion change when I turn the sonority is very subtle (bis).
but is a very proper reverb! and two modes! I think at the spring tension!
overall it sounds not bad and the little reverb has spring is terrible is good sound cheap for wholesale!

NOTICE GLOBAL

I love it, I use it for 6 months, aa t immediately the cost of lightning, amps tolerates the tuning of my grat (CGCFAD) it really restores my sound.
resum in:

the +:
the sound! for an amp of this range!
the different modes especially lead!
the original footswitch
the effects loop
the output for a speaker
the beautiful little reverb

les:
no adjustment of volume Gnral
no small overdrive on clean (basic style combo marshall)
can a heavy (hey yes I am a little)

Finally, I bought a ocaz of 280, it sounds very good for the price and for a transistor!

transistor, two channels xhacun their full equalization, 80w, + presence + resonnance reverb effect loop switch provides adjustable.

UTILIZATION

very simple, no manual, I also have the 1990 version which was against by default as the dry solder (therefore need to redo about 50 euros in store to repair it).
The sound is not bad at all (it is not lamp but techno Transtube crunch from a certain volume (so I do not know if it is techno or hp but it has high volume crunch. Per cons over the volume of 6-7 hp saturates and drool but as you say that you're already deaf before. frankly it's a good deal of attention in purchasing occas knob the test by pulling and pushing of times that welding kidding (c is to be done on any amp that has traveled). Anyway he has fooled more than one, it really means to make good sound, maybe not metal (well I did not esssayé) but for blues rock jazz funk see, working the sound even when it was something very honest. Moreover, it adapts very well all the same for the acoustic guitar.

SOUNDS

see above

OVERALL OPINION

j 'uses peavey 20 years, this one I kept 7 years, and traded against the gear and I regret (although I have more gear performance to date, he has always done his job, his default is c be heavy enough to carry around (I took 110 Transtube sent lugging a lighter blues with hp I do not know what, and although very disappointed of the result from the bandit, then this is the 10 hp cons 12 makes the difference but I do not know sent does not happen at the ankle). But today ca is cheap, and c is a good deal, this is not the amp but the century c is more than adequate and especially without light c is a good amp for amateur eclairé. although he accepts all the pedals.
J have a ValveKing 212 I hereby amended as sells really too heavy and too powerful (100w lamp 35 kg), a tiny terror head orange ca I love a clean sound advice as I was orange, and a peavey delta blues 15 inch ultra sound super clean and crunch as I advise also, and that for repet I'll take a villain in order to leave behind me to avoid lugging the whole lamp and peter me back. I recommend it before moving on lamps.

80 Watts (100 with an additional baffle), the following is not a present

UTILIZATION

Simple Setup a clear sound "drive" switchable footswitch (such as effects loop)
The manual ... there is no need.

To my ears sounds right for me. It is not an amp lamp but certainly more than enough to express any guitar (I've even plugged a bass above).

SOUNDS

I bought this amp for metal. I played on big multi-effects + amp lamps. The amp has a burn time when I could not replace it, suddenly having already heard the BANDIT in action I went to try it in the store, and I am left with. Since the effects loop ends and all the trimmings. I certainly have no chorus, phaser or other devices. But I do not have a jack between my guitar and my amp. Finishes the lamps petes because he had stored the gear rapido, the Peavey is all epreuve.La Transtube technology is bluffing and its sound. We are not a modeling amp with its pseudo other brands. The peavey that it's sending! From a microeconomic point of view I am equipped guitar DiMarzio Tone Zone or EMG81/85, the receiver does the rest. Saturation may be due to the more bluesy metal with all the genres that may exist between these two worlds (for me it's all the same rather Slayer, Death, and other metal bands of the 90s). Ibanez guitars on ibanez with microphones, its still a little flat without recourse to multi-effects, I was a bit like playing on guitars without souls.
Power, too much for domestic use only, it's safe!! No problem to play groupe.J have done some gigs with, NP apart if you're too close to the high volume feedback very strong.
I play with next to a 5150 the same mark without shame (... going ... almost ... for those who have a 5150 )

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 8 years now, at the time it was already an overhaul of the original Bandit, and this model still sells new, it says a lot about these original qualities.
Newest models possess a knob to dimuninuer power and be able to play in his room, it would be the only thing missing in mine.
I still do not have a knob that crackles or other false contact, short, it is not a marshall in 8080 .....
I would do this choice at the time. Because after losing my ... his lamp, having acquired it up best in terms of price / sound / solidité.Aujourd Today, I'll try out a modeling amp recent, the sound palette is still much broader and "probably" better?
After he negotiated € 100/150 in Cygnus, the ones for what they never have the opportunity to hear, let the curious ...

A scraper, a jack, sending an amp that is what everyone wants? Then look no further

- C is the one that has red stripes.
- C is trans tube transistor so surely as I see no lights ^ ^
- Input high (100W?) / Or low (80W)
- 2 channels so each 3 mode (vintage / modern / high gain)

UTILIZATION

- I already know how it works ...... in facade
- The manual?? blah blah, because I have yet to dip a What is the entry "power amp and power amp in out" while return gives access to the power amp stage (normally?!)

SOUNDS

- A minute to interact knobs m is sufficient to find that I was looking for as
- A dry, clean, precise, and flawless Pechu
- I play with my jem 7v or jpm p3 my or my esp m2 brief celon the mood ^ ^
- So now I 'fully exploits the method "Rondat" c 2 wha is to say, a distortion, delay and this little world in the input (facade) of the amp and it works great, simple, efficient and accurate (whatever the distortion a little breath, alas)
- By Christmas vice versa preamp has lights and I will attack the power amp

OVERALL OPINION

day before had a Peavey ValveKing 212, what a nice shit, PCBs are not stable, the lamps are mounted has been a hurry short, ca m has inflated the problem of lamps.

j in the past had a dsl 401 but I marshmall not like grain marshmall preamps, too "so british" for me.

I taffais ds pigalle shop 10 years ago and I sold them as croissants, and I realized that ss 10 n after it is actually not taken a single ride.

to play a home a transistor 80w ca enough for me, the T.dynamique plays a role in the color of its desired me I found: dry, clean, precise, sharp and flawless, I like.

Me, for 140E with its footswitch I find very cool gift for the way I use, I note a little less dynamic present the lamps but less bored and AC is not negligible, especially when only a ca happens home!

i got this amp from musiciansfriend.com and i paid $500.00 i got it because all i had was a little marshall 10 watt and my friend had one so i knew it was good.

i like everything about this amp it has a great clean channel and an awesome lead channel with enough knobs and switches to keep anyone happy it also has an effects loop but i dont use it much it comes with a footswitch to switch from clean to lead it also has to inputs so you could hook two guitars up to it if u want to this amp is great for what ever music you want to play on it and its ready for anything its also very lound i have never turned it up past three and thats plenty lound for me.

there isnt really anything i dont like abount this amp.

this amp is built like a tank and its heavy enoughthat you cant really walk fast and bump into things with it but if you did i think it break whatever you run itnto before it broke.

bottom line this is a really good amp and it good for any kind of music.

I bought this from PMT in Oxford for £285 for my first 'proper' amp. My old one was a stagg 10w.......

BIIIIIG and bulky. Bastard to carry, but very sturdy, i should know, having dropped it a few times and left in in the rain for 5 minutes once.
Has some serious power. 80w doesnt sound like that much, but I did a gig in a huge echo barn and only had to put it up to volume 5 of 10 to fill the place.
It has the best distortion i have ever heard on an amp. It has three types: vintage, modern and high gain. All sound great and do exactly what they say on the tin. vintage is bluesy and rough, modern thick and powerful and high gain just plain noisy. It also manages to retain its sound quality in the lower volumes, which is important, cause u aint gonna be turning it up too much.

The footpedal is a little noisy because it is amplified and ive has some problems with connections in the plug, but nothing i couldnt fix. Except the lack of headphone socket.

With the exception of a few input connection problems, absolutely fine. Very sturdy and resistant to water (wooops).

A brilliant amp well worth the money. Good for all types of music, but heavey rock in particular would benefit from this peavey sound. Reliable and tough if a little heavy.

Transistor amp,
80W or 100W with external speaker.
Two channels clean and distortion,
each with different registers (in clean vintage / modern in disto classic / modern / high gain).

Eq settings are simply mind-blowing,
frequencies well chosen, grain distortions is very realistic and musical.

UTILIZATION

For me it is very easy to carve his immediately with this amp ... well just imagine the sound you want and presto! it goes hunting!

SOUNDS

I only played with a Gibson Flying V,
and frankly I am well served!

I do not hate any sound,
this amp is ideal for professionals who do not want to risk everything with lamps and their inherent problems (even if the tube sound is more "open" and this).

OVERALL OPINION

I've had Fender (Twin Reverb 65), Marshall JVM 205H head with baffle Mesa, Mesa Boogie Express 25W, and many others, most lamps ...

The Bandit class gives all distos ever heard in my life,
it is huge, ranging from pure vintage to metal quickly and accurately.

As we enjoy clean, the reverb is very good and I added more than half to fully get the feeling the blues.

For me, to 130 euros I had the amp in my life!
Soon as I can I will invest in a head and a mesa boogie cabinet mesa
but do the math! it's going to turn around 4,000 euros, while there is the immediate and lasting happiness. THE BEST OF THE BEST, with PEAVEY MY FRIEND!

The Peavey Transtube Bandit 112, What an amp! It has a bit of a learning curve because this amp does so much and it sounds so good. I played at church with it for the first time today. All the other players play through a PA system and I just played through the amp. I didn’t even turn it up past 1/4 and it was almost to loud. The pedal is a must have. I bought the MKII Express, but I wish I had the extra $100 to buy the short board. It would make it so much easier to go through the user presets and with the short board you can turn on and off the effects as needed.


UTILIZATION

The Peavey Transtube Bandit 112 provides the working musician with an affordable amp that delivers. Its Great for small venue gigs, practice, and with its line out has the ability to sound great for recording or direct input into a pa. the sixteen amp models are worth the price by themselves, but add the 500 patches and you should be able to create or cover any sound you like. the amp has a very tight bottom and sparkling tops. for 300 dollars it would be hard to find any other amp that could compete. and did i mention 20 fully editable effects which you can run 4 at one time.

SOUNDS


I Put this amp on and had an idea for song in no time at all. If you are looking for more of a Heavier/palm muting/Heavy Metal sound go with the Peavey Vyper, without a doubt. I have both. But for fun and inspiration this is the way to go. I don't regret the purchase. The cleans are better and less compressed on this than the Peavey but the Peavey takes the cake on the Heavy stuff.

OVERALL OPINION


Sounds great with my strat, but can't get what sound i'm looking for playing my SG. Sounds good for rock, but if blues or country is what your playing, I'd look elsewhere.

The Bandit 112 is a transistor amp tube emulation (TransTube). It dlivre 80 W into 8 ohms and 100 W with an external HP (4ohms).
There are two channels and voicing 5: Clean and clear for the vintage, vintage, modern and hi gain for the channel saturated.
It consists of a CONTRL rsonnance (tight or loose) of a knob SETTING THE simulating lamp (T-Dynamics) and presence of a knob.
In addition, each channel has a 3 band legalization.
Finally, the reverb is of course adjustable.
The BTE is 20 kg to about 50x60x29 cm.
Sheffield HP 12 "
There is an exit prampli HP and externally. Between a power amp, effects loop, an order will level effect. All this comes with a footswitch for channel switching and selection loop efffets.
Note there are two inputs: a Low gain High gain and

UTILIZATION

The use requires a certain time to master the possibilities of this amp SETTING THE. Indeed it offers lots of possibilities and only one knob turn, may either: destroy windows, screw up your sound, you discover ultra sounds interesting.
Nevertheless it is versatile enough for you to find your happiness in a short time.
The manual is clear as it has 6 settings and types (Metal, Blues, Jazz ...)

SOUNDS

The sound is perfect for me. I mainly play with a Yamaha 2 double pickups and the amp I "read" in my delires the most violent and extreme as in intimate passages trs.
It is noted that the voicing trs are damn good. The clean vintage smells like mothballs and dust on the Hi Gain Lead, it is not unlike Mesa Boogie ... There's worse as references.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been ending for a year and I would be plunged back again. I never would find me an amp that matches this with such a report QualitPrix / Equipment.
To test urgently, especially as it costs between 410,450 (2700 3000 F)

Transistotr
80W (so they say ...)
2 input (high and low), effects loop (send, return), preamp in and out, switch.
reverb

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration ... even very simple!
we obtain very easily a good sound.
the manual and very clear and comlpet.

SOUNDS

This is an amp that suits all styles and sounds are really very Polivalente, I play it with a lag and a V-AMP2 (like multi effects). the clean sound is still very bluesy but can play lots of styles, distos its terrible, never seen on an amp at this price!
the only big (very big) problem is the advertised power (80W), because I play in a group and the second guitarist to a 65W (transistors) and the enttend more than me ... so watch out!
BANDIT the 112II and manufactured in China unlike the old models that they are manufactured in the United States.
I can tell you it does not 80W RMS ... sound increases from 0 to 5 on the scale of the volume and after, no difference.

OVERALL OPINION

Despite a pure sound, the group does not BANDIT. the design is great, but try in all its forms prior to purchase.

UTILIZATION

The configuration of the beast is very simple, do not bother to look for hours to get a good sound.
I did not have the manual with my amp so I do not know how it is. Any fawn yen is not too much need

SOUNDS

Clean sounds really neutral, trs crystalline, single bobinnage has trs sounds good.
Lead in on the other hand is not great. you can not have a good disto well list. The sonnorits are more style overdrive. Finally it's still not bad. If not by adding a little distortion pedals to or playing with a v-amp/pod (by connecting directly between the power amp) makes a good trs.

OVERALL OPINION

was a year I use it but I think it dates back to 80 (that's what the salesman told me) and it is still standing. Trsrsistant. I dplace often and I've never had a problem with, has a few knobs that crackles at times but hey it was normal for his age: p.
Frankly if you need an amp not too expensive, take a OCCAZ. With the exprience I think I would take a good tube amp but for now I have no money to

Previous review see, nothing to add
I put 9 because no headphone jack, it's a shame also because it is sometimes convenient

UTILIZATION

Ditto
amp trs full, even notice that below, the manual is blah, better get the same sound at home

SOUNDS

While the this amp kills everything!!
I know, that is not objective, but not without a good laugh eh I never jou on an amp as versatile, many styles of music you sdont door as long as you you r gliez the amp correctly (be careful with the bass, no need to put the masses because the amp has bizarrely normment the base). Personal I play a lot of things DIFFERENT: punk, ska, hard rock, rock, and this amp ... mtal not balk at nothing. I just think the clean sounds just a little over saturated (the limit but I do not care I play mainly saturated yeah ... what, punk in the clear, has not pass gnial , for some reason
9 / 10 for clean sounds a bit "dull" ... may be with a strat has better pass (try) ... think I'm playing with double windings, so ...

OVERALL OPINION

I recently started using a year and a half prs
I tried many amps but n'taient not as versatile as the one before you buy
Nine for 450 euros, I think it's a bargain
If one day I have to buy an amp, but I have not many gold coins, I would do this choice, but personal, I think a acqurir MODEL lamps (a 'tit ENGL example) ... but it is not the same price and can be not I have as much versatility.

Peavey Bandit 112 series Transtube. 100w power. 2 between "high gain" and "low gain". 2 channels: clean-lead. Comes with footswitch. Equip a switch "modern" - "vintage".

UTILIZATION

I use this amp for several months and are not rglages trs complicated because in the manual, we are given the dj rglages like "metal" "clean blues" "jazz" but it is true that we must spend some time searching and find the sound IDAL.

SOUNDS

I like all the big distos the clean sound all calm and I must say I t Fully satisfied. I test the store with an Ibanez SZ 520 QM and he immediately pat. I play mostly guitar with a low-end style stratocaster. Anyway this is not a mesa boogie no more ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 months and I never try other models before ... marshall but one of the same power. The quality-price ratio is exellent ... In any case it is on, I do not regret it at all.

It is a 80 W transistor amplifier, which can range up to 100 W if he adds an external HP
The only effect is available rverbe

UTILIZATION

Bah trs is simple to configure, one branch, it RULES and go a little
You still look a bit to even find good sounds ...
The manual is clear and has some trs rglages sympatoch

SOUNDS

Bah me a personal suit me well, I play metal (Pantera, Sepultura, Metallica ...) and also quieter stuff (Led Zep, ACDC, Dream Theater) and I find the sound, it is enough just look good rglages
I play it with an ESP / LTD F50 (entry-LTD) and sounds flawlessly!
We spend a crunch sound, a blues distortion well nag if desired, and has good harmonics trs!
I love the sound, the only problem is that feedback quickly trs ds is increased the gain, but good with a gain setting of 5 in case it was already a great disto
In his clear is impeccable, crystal-clear, I would add that it's even more fun with rverbe ^ ^

OVERALL OPINION

I got it today but I had several opportunities to dj test before so I knew what was going on down ^ ^
Trs a good point is that we do not lose sound quality even low volume! We can therefore use it in his room as RPET
Before the one I had her little ERRF (Peavey blazer 158), because I liked the sound peavey, peavey I continued on, and I'm not wrong ^ ^. I had the opportunity to test a marshall MG100DFX, Well I can assure you it is no match to the peavey!
For this price (348), I find that we are dealing a great amp, may even be one of the best transistor amps available.
Saw how I left the next amp will probably peavey ^ ^. I would do without this choice hsitation!
