    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)

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
