All user reviews of 5/5 for the Peavey Bandit 112 (Discontinued)

Everything is said in the preceding opinion, this is a Transtube works hard, both in clean distortion.
It is really powerful and gives pleasure.
Relatively easy manipulation, the knobs are very sensitive.

UTILIZATION

No manual for it is a Cygnus, but soon the freelance stuff and stuff like any hack is finding its sound, it makes it much!

SOUNDS

Different styles, different sounds he accepts them, quite impressive in its capabilities, it can compete with quite a few others ... The only downside is a slight breath but hey this is no more embarrassing than that.

OVERALL OPINION

used recently, I've tested a lot of different amps and an excellent value for money you can not hesitate, the bandit gives only fun to play.
I was looking for and if I were to advise the yes of course without hesitating.

Amplifier transistors
Connectivity classic footswitch to toggle the "clean" to "master".
Both channels, effects loop, taking extra hp, exit pramp.
Good reverb, powerful presence ... complete.

UTILIZATION

Versatility!

Ease ADJUSTMENTS can quickly satisfy the beginners or the guitarist in need of a wide variety of sounds with a minimum of hardware.

SOUNDS

I use a stratocaster lone star.

Following the rglages get both a hyper-clean in a single coil with a wraparound rverb its saturated fat and master ...
I think this amp can "s'adaptquot; easily again, rglages prcis and potentiometers are enjoyable.

OVERALL OPINION

2 years of loyal service.

Report qualitprix me excellent ...
We can not always afford a double body or any lamps.

With this budget I would do the same choice.

80 watt amplifier transistors, 100 w dvellopant with the addition of a baffle supplmentaire. Both channels, rverb, effects loop, external speaker output, output preamp-out. From simple, nothing spcial at the controls of the amp's classic.

UTILIZATION

In terms of the use is simple, a clean channel with 3 band EQ + switch brigth adding snapping sound. Possdant a saturated channel 3-band EQ switch + 1 level gain saturation + 1 to switch trash mdiums deepened. Gnral reverb level, a switch rsonnance dbryable, two knobs + t-dynamics (simulation of the raction of a tube amp, peavey Transtube technology) and prsence. The legalization is effective trs whatsoever at the channel clear, that the channel saturated. All pallets are sound from jazz to mtal REPRESENTATIVES ...

SOUNDS

The sounds are clean and clear prcis trs, saturations and offers are gnreuses sounds worthy of the most saturated fat bte gender, sharp harmonics, and many serious pr Dfine feels well even with low background knobs. (Make the comparison with a series of Marshall Valvestate or MG, you'll know what the serious home peavey mean ...). I use this amp with a peavey speaker J 412 (4 X 12 "), sounds are very powerful and well Defines trs. By the way I do not play even if my config mtal could suggest ... I play the varitrock so I need a versatile amp trs I found it. I use this amp with a Fender Tex Mex quip of Di Marzio a YJM in neck and a Fender Stratocaster vintage noiseless in acute, but also with a quip Steinberger a Di Marzio Tone Zone in the handle and a Di Marzio evolution in acute and many more .. . pousss attention too the rverb, and prsence because the sound will become more draft (c total)

OVERALL OPINION

I possde this amp since 1997, with no worries! Trs good amp, I possde also a Marshall MG 100 DFX and a Marshall VS 100 Head.
Report quality trs good price, especially over time. Scnes a good amp that will follow you everywhere ...

See previous notices ...
in the new version there is a small modification that takes two switches, one for clean and one for distortion. Above is marked "modern / vitage" for clean, same for the distortion with "high gain" and more. good omen, right?

UTILIZATION

Pretty standard, no need of the manual, then in half an hour I think there are ways to find all the possible sounds, and with pleasure ...

SOUNDS

I tested several guitar on this amp (stratum US, Mexico and Ibanez RG with EMG ...) and everyone is benefiting.
I like the position "modern" in as clean (and especially) in distortion. We just push the gain, or not really in any case he released his flawless after that depends on your taste.
In short the switch and allow any eq!

OVERALL OPINION

I played on this amp 3 weeks, he made the scene, to repeat with other scratch ... without its problems or power.

for a transistor amp at this price (in 450 euros I think) is excellent! I also tried the old version (without switch) works well too, but not as versatile.
the idea of ​​the switch is really good, it's simple this is equivalent to the analog amp simulation, but: p
a good buy ...

Amplification Transtube: transistors reproducing sound lamp with a thundering fidlitbr /> The power is 80 watts, but to give a comparison, here must I find that more than a Marshall Valvestate VS100
The connection is simple and effective: effects loop, switch and output jack for external speaker
Two channels each possdant a 3-band EQ, plus a prsence, a T-rglage Dynamic and reverb
A Bright push the clean channel can make the sound brighter
On channel a saturated gain switch can boost the distortion Patator kind, while another switch, Thrash, mdiums digs.
Taken together, the amp gives an impression of strength.

UTILIZATION

This amp is a joy for anyone who wants a beautiful and good sound quickly, not tons of buttons, just the basics and sounds!
Examples of rglages comes with the amp (or tlchargeable site Peavey) give a good indication of the possibilities of beast

SOUNDS

Essentially playing the music of rclamant saturation levs (mtal, rock, jazz-rock nergique ..) I am the comblPour mtal my washburn team of a Tone Zone in acute s'panouit fully on the disto channel, push the "gain" triggered causing distortion fat, boosts bass and nanmoins prcise.Le button "Rsonance" is then a find any application.
To rock the 70's Hendrix / Led Zep, it dsenclenche the "gain" and you end up with a sound ranging from crunch crunch supported trs, trs dynamique.Avec enjoyable and a wha-wha and a stratum, we believe it! Feedback The music is very easy to obtain.
The clear sound .... I do not use hardly ever so I am not well placed to trs parler.Cependant, it seems the height of the rest and a good bnficiant versatility.
One word to emphasize his power: I play death metal and I did a lot of RPTS avec.Je've always heard clearly without forcing the volume of the del 4

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using ending for 3 years and am really satisfait.La only thing that bothers me a little is the Gain switch the channel is not saturated with the footswitch dclenchable; have a t practice to switch to lead without having to share a galiseur.Mis BMOL this small, it's all good!
As for the report qualitprix, I pay 250 euros this amp used, with footswitch Trs ... good deal! I would do the same choice without hsiter.Srieusement, I see little amp in this price range offer services as good.

Amplifier equipped with HP 1230 sheffield, the top home peavey (same as in the cabinet EVH ...), and it's the difference from the Chinese Bandit (with red stripes) that followed.
Almost too many jacks in this amp, the more simple the better, and it makes less contact, which oxidize and cause problems ... I was bothered by the way, Kontakt and spray in all 60 jacks to any resolution.
The reverb is after the effects loop but before the coming in power. Too many jacks, I tell you!
But in the case of use with a clean boost (for leading the crunch ...) the reverb hoots like an owl, the only way to connect the effects send output to the input pwr in (the back that one) to stop.
Powerful but still 75 watts, no miracles or Santa Claus huh.

Compared to my Valvestate 8080 is really not the same, a different school.
So much to know what suits you. Not a scoop.

UTILIZATION

Not easy, as many buttons difficult to read LED indicator and no short night.
I get the best sound without the help of trash and boost switches that are too tampered with. We can intervene on the final rendering with the tube dynamics and resonance switches and loose / tight.
In short it is easily lost in there, and frankly the best sounds are achieved without this unnecessary mess.

SOUNDS

What it sounds good once set! In the former, overdrive and it manages to 2hrs from scratch, a lot of harmonic richness and quite sly, delicious.
The clean is quite right, not charming, but did a great job in real life, no wonder this amp is permanently in all the bars in Nashville for the kings of country music ...
The effects loop is controllable, it is a stroke of genius. A delay in, and you snap with the included remote, what is convenient.

So hard rock, blues, blues rock, country, progressive, apart from the big bad metal you can do anything with.
Compared with the Valvestate 8080 there are fewer but much aggression for wealth and versatility. As a group you will drill better with the Marshall, if he does not fail (the series are really touchy) ...

OVERALL OPINION

This is a very good, better than his successor rich sound level. As against the Chinese is to be paid more fun, more effective and readable, and more versatile distortion.
Do not think that lights sound better than the bandit, in a budget means and especially distortion. A valve junior is a pathetic complete, valbee too, the ValveKing 112 sounds much more confusing and dark, in short I can not see the bandit Transtube be upset ...
I also had the spider 2 112, ridiculous in comparison (a real toy plastic), and cube60 roland is very far off the mark too. The concept is really Transtube musical and alive, surprising.
In short, if he is suited you, a thief should be more than enough until we have enough money to take a bad cat (there's really over, not like all tube amps that 2000 euros scam you and do not offer much more objectively than the bandit) or similar high-class.
A good way to have fun, grow, until the real amp ...
