Peavey Bandit 112 review #3

[94SkyHero]

How is this amp handling Judas Priest stuff? I think i am gonna buy it. It's realy great. :) \m/

[TheBlakem]

@94SkyHero perfect for old school Priest.

[brianeflanagan]

guitar center has them for $349...seems high,are they worth it?

[TheBenlag]

Did you put some reverb too? Sounds Amazing!

[tellarjj]

Very good sound from the Peavy Bandit 112 !...

[yugijan2196]

Just got one for 220!!!! Can't f'n wait!

[deathafi]

@TheBlakem are the older peavey bandit amps any good

cause i wanna buy one for 60 off a guy

[yugijan2196]

Would this be good for a Slash tone...like and modern/old Slash tone???

[Zordid0]

I dont want to be rude or anything really, but you should have played metal of any genre with the the modern and high gain settings of the lead channel.... with no reverb since metal doesnt use it in riffs :D something in drop D or even C, anyway nice review. I do own one, I just wanted to see pleople playing metal on it.

[TheBlakem]

@Zordid0 I'll have to do a review with metal sounds, I am not a metal player so it wont be very good,

[iGuessiLikeIt]

i don't know if you can compare these amps, but blackstar ht 5 combo or this ? please respond :D

[TheBlakem]

@iGuessiLikeIt I cant really tell you, I have never tried a Black star, but I have heard they are GREAT.

[iGuessiLikeIt]

@TheBlakem Yeah and they're pretty hard to compare because the ht 5 is a tube amp.. But i really don't know witch one to buy (im just gonna use it as a practise amp at home)

[TheBlakem]

@iGuessiLikeIt I do know that the Bandit sounds REALLY REALLY close to a tube amp, it also has different wattage settings, so it's great for home and for gigging... Id go with the bandit.. its a powerhouse and it sounds great without tube worry.

[iGuessiLikeIt]

@TheBlakem Ok thanks alot :)

[smurfjimpan]

Thank you for some great reviews, man! But there is one thing, and I don't think you will be able to answer, but what the hell. :)

Here goes.. What is the difference between the "old" bandit and the 2008 bandit?

I know a guy that's gonna sell hit older version of it, but should I buy a new one instead?

[TheBlakem]

@smurfjimpan i believe the older ones do not have the power setting switch on them.. but they do have the Trans Tube technology and are made in America. The old old ones do not have the trans tube technology and do not sound nearly as good.

[goat136948]

My reply is more than 500 characters, but the first generation (1995) and second generation (2000-2004) will do the same thing with two exceptions, the clean channel warm voicing and speaker sim output are new options for the new 2006-? bandits. Also the new ones have a redesigned transtube section. I will send you some more info.

[TheBlakem]

@goat136948 Thank you! :)

[simonpvo2]

-i love your review of this amp, the only thing that is disapointing me, is that you don´t play metal, while testing the metal tone.

[TheBlakem]

@simonpvo2 LOL! sorry man, I'm not a very good metal player.......:)

[somekindofmonst3r]

thanks for taking the time to review this amp

[guitar12322]

is good

[Kelon123]

Øhm i have the same amp and model but yours looks totally diffrent o.O

[SORGENSxKAMMER]

How will this amp work with a loop pedal? i have the digitech jamman.

[TheBlakem]

Guys, Make sure you leave the speaker setting on LOOSE! Makes a big difference!

[reaghan55metallica]

@TheBlakem that makes it sound all ove rthe place tho

[bigguitar22]

@TheBlakem

Nice professional looking reviews thank you very much.

[JudeIceCool3000]

Excellent review. I have one and this will help me make better use of it. My band are Cold Forge, we're on youtube

[bojantomic88]

hey man, I forgot to ask: 'cause of all those option switches for modern, classic etc, and on the back I saw 4 different switches as I recall for all sorts of different amp options - is it reliable? Did you experience any problems, 'cause I'm skeptic when it comes to too much "gadgets" on an amp and the effect amps... ???

[bojantomic88]

And to think I actually considered paying 440 Euros for a Marshall MG102FX, sheesh... dude, thank you, this amp is for me! I will only need a good delay pedal and for starters - I'm all set :) thanks again mate, excellent review!

[mfx999]

this or roland cube80?

[TheBlakem]

@mfx999 , the Bandit, I had a Roland Cube as well, just not as tube sounding as this amp...

[iggvf]

what i really love about this amp is if you put in the low gain input you get a REALLY vintage sound AKA "the sound of awesomnes" :)

[TheBlakem]

I will try that! thanks :)

[slippingontheslide]

nice review.

thanks for posting.

i just bought one of these as an upgrade from a peavey studio pro 110. am very pleased with it.

[UnconciousHippie]

how would this amp sound using a guitar with EMG's?

[TheBlakem]

Excellent I bet..this amp rules.

[UnconciousHippie]

ive used it before on an ESP eclipse, it sounds great for metal
