Awesome amps for sure! I went with a Peavey Stereo Chorus 212 (Teal Stripe with the Master Volume) and a Peavey Special 212 Silver Stripe (same as a Bandit Silver Stripe except it has 2 speakers, extra channel, and is 130 watts)- I have them connected with an A/B/Y Pedal, and boost the Special with an SD1 and I can literally play any type of music out there with this setup- best of all, the whole setup cost around $450 for everything. I don't gig, as those are heavy amps, but I am more than pleased with what I have. Peaveys are awesome! You're playing was top-notch as well!
I have an early 90's teal striped Stereo Chorus 212 also. It's a great sounding amp, tons of power and clean headroom, but it's not the model with the Master Volume like the one you have. I wish it did. You've got the top of the line one and I'd be hanging on to it. I'll keep mine unless I find one just like it with the Master Volume.......that's not too expensive.
Nice review. Excellent playing. The Bandit (all pre-2000 models) are killer amps. Peavey made such good value amps through the 80’s and 90’s that it’s hilarious to see people buying Marshall’s and Fenders at 10x the price.
exactly Marshall are overpriced and overrated
I have a newer bandit and it sounds great. But i do fancy getting older one
This is the best version of the bandit period. Best reverb and Killer drive + brilliant cleans
Accutronics reverb unit for the win.
I gigged the crap out of one of those in the early 90's and it was a great amp and took pedals like a pro..I've just been looking to see if I can find one near me in the UK after seeing this..thanks 👍🏻
Thanks for the tip on the effects loop being dirty. I fitted a jumper as you suggested and suddenly it was working again. Appreciated!
Clean tone monster! I love this amp using my Fender Stratocaster single coils and bright bridge humbucker. Not so much with my Les Paul dark sounding humbuckers. I found mine for $80 that had sat for years in a storage shed. I cleaned all the potentiometers and it works and sounds beautiful. Nice video. Thanks for supporting the underrated! Mine has the Sheffield 1230 speaker. To me it sounds brighter the scorpion.
Thanks! Nice, $80 is a perfect price for one of these. Having played both scorpions and sheffields, I found the scorpions to be better for live use and sheffields to record better.
You got tone for days. Love that heavy right hand.
Good tone is more important than anything else. Great demo!
Thats a killer tone
Man who knew Seth Rogen could shred like that ! Thanks for the vid
Awesome! I love this! You took time to actually dig into the amp & get tones! Killer!
Thanks! I’ve been playing this amp off and on for 30 years, there’s tones to be had 👍
@Chucksguitargeekery I recently picked one up. I had one in high school & a Backstage Plus that I would run together. They were complete tone monsters. I love the tones you were getting! I really had forgotten how amazing these amps were.
Very clear and open sound.
Peavey Bandits are just awesome amps. If I were stranded on a desert island, this is the one amp I would want. It sounds great clean and dirty, it's indestructible and they're cheap. I found a Bandit 65 for $25 and it's one of my favorite amps to play through. The only thing I don't like about the teal strip is that the pre-gain control is missing from the dirty channel (it's present on the Bandit 65). I feel like that gives me even more control over the amount of breakup.
There’s a reason I have 3 of them, still keeping my eye open for a red stripe. I know they’ll always work.
I have a teal stripe bandit. To me the distortion now sounds dated. But the beauty of these is the clean channel and the ability to take pedals so well. You can shape it into anything you want. And it will push back against a ham fisted drummer all day. Mine has a Sheffield speaker and it matches this amp perfectly. I see no reason to change it out.
Yes, these amps are probably the ultimate “pedal platforms.” Plus, I don’t think I’ve ever struggled to be heard playing through one.
Great video
Actually between the 65 and that one . Was the 75 that on the dirty dirty was automatically like when the thick switch is pulled on the 65. Then there was one right before the teal . It didn’t have the mid (body ) control on the drive channel ! I have a special 112 that is the big brother of that bandit , same but 160w!
Sounds great and great playing too. You should review the mace or deuce.
Thanks! I’d love to get my hands on one of those amps, I’m regularly searching for Peaveys on marketplace and Craigslist lol.
Mind blown. I was so prejudiced in those days. I'm a fool
Also think the shift changes the freq response of the mid (body ) control .
This amp was good enough for Scotty Moore in his later days ! The old Peavey Bandits are really fine amps. I'm a teal strip fan too.
The Scotty Moore?
@@MrRoundwound yes
My first amp. I miss it.
Man talk about a flash from the past. I had that same amp when I was in high school. What a great amp. It ended up getting stolen, disassembled and smashed by a meth head. 😢 I miss that amp. Thanks for the video.
I really enjoy your videos. In fact, after seeing one of your videos, I searched long and hard for an original Studio Pro like the one you have and, lo and behold, I was lucky enough to find one. I have something like 6 or 7 Peavey SS amps. I wanted to ask you a question about the Peavey KB100 amp. This is not the one with the XLR channel 1 input - it has 2 1/4" inputs. Anyway, the question is, have you played through one of these and, if so, can you identify any good uses for it other than for keyboards? I guess that is technically (up to) 2 questions. Thanks.
Thanks! Honestly, the KB100 is used for either for keyboards when my dad wants to jam, or bass guitar. My uncle found it in a friend’s barn a few years ago. But, my dad used to have a KB300 back in the day when he gigged (with a black widow) that was an absolute backbreaker. I used that KB300 as a bass amp in high school.
Wow, I haven't seen these Peavey Bandit 112 forever. This is my first amp when I was 14 years old. Then when I was 15, my band went to a local recording studio to do a 10 song album. Lol. I used to think, this amp kicks ass. Then after I left to the military, my brother-in-law sold it for drugs. What a *&^^^(&*. Lol. Anyway, thanks showing us this collection from the 80s. Peace.
I have had mine since new 89 no ext speaker jack but i run 2 sheffeild 1230s off mine
Nice! There’s definitely ways to add more speakers without the extension speaker jack.
@@Chucksguitargeekery funny the 1230 in my bandit has a diff magnet size than the one I got in my ext cab but both label sheffeild 1230s they even sound a little different
Great playing
im torn between the teal and silver, which would your recommend, im eyeing to buy one of this
Honestly, I would go Silver. The t. Dynamics control and ability to power an external cabinet give it a lot more flexibility.
So Mr. Bandit. How many watts is it. Is it a solid state or tube amp. How much does it weigh? Maybe u should redo this video with some information on what this amp is --
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ its a sound showcase more than a review. All the information is easily available, sound is something you cant get out of a pamphlet, the rest you cam
Sheff 1230's?
This one has a Scorpion
Does this bandit have the Scorpion speaker? or did you change it?
This one has the stock scorpion
Alot of them were Sheffield 1230.
These Beautiful Beasts will at least keep you out of Amp Repair shops for re-biasing new tubes and whatnot. So will the wonderful IKMultimedia Amplitube 5 if space is tight.
Subscribed, on the strength of your personality.
?how bout some room micing?
Or miced in a live band situation? That would be nice. ( I’ve got the same blue stripe)
Wicked guitar playing. So many are really not that nice to listen to even tho the can obvously play.
