User questions & answers

Question:	Is the fan loud
Answer:	Not bad at all. I would never use an amp like this in a studio setting, but for anything live, the fans have never been an issue for me.
Question:	would this power 2 8 ohm monitors,4 8 ohm speakers and 2 peavey
Answer:	The amp is stable to 2ohms per side or 4ohms total if bridged. If you're running 2x8ohm cabs on one channel for a total of 4ohms and 4x8ohm cabs on the other channel for 2ohms you should be good (with the caveat that cab ratings are nominal and therefore a 'moving target' depending on what you're feeding them). I don't know where the Peavey 2x215's fit in since you don't list their impedance ratings, but I'd suggest that they'd be too much for this setup anyway.
Question:	I have the jbl jrx 225 pair and jrx 218s 18" passive subwoofer pair looking for an amp to drive these for a band
Answer:	HI rico.You need 2 amp. Peavey IPR 3000.1 amp. For the 2 jrx 215 (mid/hi).1 amp. For the 2 jrx 218 (low).Good Luck.
Question:	Is this amp brodge-mono capable
Answer:	Yes it is.

IPR 2000

IPR2 power amplifiers, designed for years of reliable, flawless operation under rigorous use. The groundbreaking IPR2 series utilizes an advanced design that allows Peavey engineers to dramatically reduce weight while increasing output power, reliability and thermal efficiency. IPR2 Series amplifiers are designed with a resonant switch-mode power supply and a high-speed class D topology that yields the highest audio resolution and efficiency available. This revolutionary amplifier offers the sonic superiority and unsurpassed reliability for which Peavey is famous, in an extremely efficient and lightweight design. Advanced technology and extensive protection circuitry allow operation with greater efficiency into difficult loads and power conditions. The DDT (Distortion Detection Technique) circuitry ensures trouble-free operation into loads as low as 2 ohms. DDT protects drivers and ensures that sonic integrity is maintained, even in extreme overload conditions. The IPR2's high-efficiency design allows the amplifier to operate at very low temperatures, and does not require massive heat sinks to cool.

IPR 2 Series

Light, Efficient, Intelligent.

Shaking up the pro audio industry with innovative power amplifier designs has become our stock in trade. More than 30 years ago, we were one of the first to break the dollar-per-watt barrier. Not long after that, we became one of the first manufacturer to mass-produce a class-D amplifier for use in live audio applications. We debuted our first switchmode power supply over a decade ago. Then in 2009 we launched the IPR series and once again Peavey revolutionized the power amp industry. Now we introduce the refinement of that amazing technology with improved performance and reliability, the Peavey IPR2 Series.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the physical dimensions of the actual amplifier itself, i.e. unpacked
Answer:	its a small amp with big sounding blue marvel speaker,2 channel clean & destortion dont expect to much for $89.00 better to spend $100-$200 for something better if you buy it order some effect pedals you will need them,i am more of hard rocker blues player.i hope this helps.
Question:	can this amp be used for an acoustic guitar also
Answer:	Yes that what I use it for
Question:	Is this a tube amp
Answer:	TS: "Transtube Technology" is Peavey's term for the circuitry they use in their solid state amps which is suppose to emulate the tone of a tube amp. There are no tubes in those amps, so don't be mislead.Apr 19, 2009 So really no! Thanks Chris BNC Electronics
Question:	batter powered
Answer:	Hello, No this one is just AC only, Thanks 8thstreet Music

Product description

The Backstage emulates the sound, high output, warmth and "push back" of tube amplifiers and includes features such as high and low EQ controls, a 6 inch heavy-duty speaker, switchable Trans Tube overdrive, a tape/CD input for jamming along to your favorite songs and a headphone input for doing so quietly. Guitar Player reviewer Barry Cleveland raves about the tone and value of the Backstage in his March 2004 hands-on product review. "This is easily one of the best-sounding mini amps I've ever heard," he writes. "It delivers a great assortment of tube-like tones and offers excellent dynamic response, all in a pint-sized package and for a very modest price. "The key is Peavey's exclusive Trans Tube technology, which emulates the sound of tube amplifiers without the hassle or cost of dealing with unpredictable tubes. The Trans Tube preamp tailors the gain level for any amount of drive, from clean to crunch to scream, using a patented approach to emulating 12AX7 tubes and their ability to create even, harmonic distortion. It also mimics the "push back" response of real tube circuitry, which is essential to emulating tube dynamics, distortion and chime.

• 6 inch custom designed speaker
• TransTube preamp with 2 switchable channels
• Volume and Overdrive controls
• 2-band EQ
• Aux input for practice

User questions & answers

Question:	What size is the aux inputs
Answer:	Standard electric guitar jack, so you will need an adapter to plug a standard headphone jack into it.
Question:	Is this product easy to use
Answer:	Very straight forward controls and easy to use.
Question:	is this capable of setting up blue tooth
Answer:	Unfortunately not, this is a very basic amplifier. Most guitar amps have no Bluetooth.
Question:	Does it come with a aux cable
Answer:	No cables were included except the AC power cable. Important thing to note about this amp compared to most others is that both the headphone output and the audio input jacks are the larger 1/4" size, not the more common 1/8" .I use a stereo 1/4" Male to 1/8" Female adapter to connect my headphones.

User questions & answers

Question:	what are its dimensions and does it come with a power supply
Answer:	The combo is 18" high, 15.7" wide, and 13.2" deep. It comes with a standard 120VAC power cable.
Question:	What is the speaker wattage of the max 100? Is it a100 watt
Answer:	No, it’s a 50 watt.
Question:	What is the weight of this amp? Specs say 1 lb, but that's highly unlikely
Answer:	Very unlikely. ;) Even so, I double-checked the weight on my bathroom scale. It's a VERY manageable 25 pounds (or 11.3 kilograms).
Question:	Can a microphone also be hook up for playing the guitar and sing at the same time? Thanks
Answer:	Short answer: Maybe. Longer answer: There's an Auxiliary Input (3.5mm) that's normally for audio input from an iPod/phone/external music source. You might be able to plug in a microphone with a 3.5mm plug, but I don't know if the signal would be strong enough to complete with the bass. You might be better off dropping Peavey a note and getting your answer direct from them.

Peavey VYPYR VIP1 20W GUITAR AMP

• 20 watts
• Acoustic guitar simulation
• Bass guitar Simulation
• Acoustically ported semi-closed back
• Patented TransTube technology

User questions & answers

Question:	can i hook a 20 watt joyo amp head to this
Answer:	No... this is only to run cans of the same ohms in series or parallel.
Question:	Is this good for piano keyboard
Answer:	Yes, this will allow you to plug in two 8ohm cabs in it then you can connect one out from the head (16ohm) to the series in on the cab link
Question:	How do you use it with a microphone
Answer:	As I understand it, to combine two 8 ohm cabs, you can either wire them in parallel, in which case they create a combined load of 4 ohms or wired in series, they create a combined load of 16 ohms. Your head or combo must thus be able to accommodate (have a speaker out jack) for a 4ohm or 16 ohm load if you are using the Cab-Link. If your cab has two 8 ohm jacks and is designed to tolerate a 4 ohm load, than you should be able to plug your two 8 ohm cabs into each of these jacks without requiring the cab link. The Cab-Link is most useful for me to combine 2 cabinets plugging into one speaker out jack on an amp that otherwise doesn't have 2 output jacks, but the Cab-Link still follows the physical rules of parallel or series wiring - 2 cabs can't be combined without changing the impedance that the amp sees.
Question:	what are the demensions
Answer:	No, you’d still need a power amp or a PA. An Electro-Harmonix would be an affordable solution. I’ve done this very thing, but I will say there are some weird artifacts running the Radar into a guitar cab though. It’ll mostly sound great, but there’ll be some things you play that’ll sound unnatural, I can’t remember what they are off the top of my head, but there’s certain things that sound weird when doing it. I believe the problem is that guitar speakers are designed to produce very specific frequencies, so a full range PA-type speaker would be ideal. The Digitech CabDryVR doesn’t seem to have the same problem, so that may be a better option if you don’t want to buy a new cab.

User questions & answers

Question:	What kind of warranty is included
Answer:	This is for features and spec, but warranty is something to ask to the seller... but the amp is indesctructible
Question:	As per the pics, this unit does not come with the blue marvel speake. does anyone know how this "brandless" speaker compare to the blue marvel
Answer:	I'am really impressed with this amp and speaker it's got balls
Question:	Solid states don't do too well with od and distortion pedals. How does the bandit handle them
Answer:	Just fine, as long as you go directly into the input jack. I don't use the effects loop, so I couldn't tell you about this particular amp. But, I've had problems using the el on other amps, so I just always plug into the front. However....This is not the kind of amp that really needs distortion pedals. In fact, it's distortion channel is where this amp really shines. It has hi-gain, low-gain inputs, gain control, and a boost feature for leads. On the back there is a 3-position damping switch for loose, medium, and tight voicing, and an ohm selector switch. On the front, it has another 3-position switch for classic, modern, and hi-gain voicings. The amp pretty much has it all in terms of distortion, and although you can use it for the bedroom, I've had an amp tech tell me this is the loudest 80-watt, single speaker amp in production. What it doesn't have are built in effects. It has a reverb, and that's all.....Oh, yead---There is a speaker jack in the back, and if you plug an 8 ohm extension cab into it, you get an extra 20 watts, with better fidelity.This is a monster of an amp, and in my opinion distortion pedals aren't necessary. But you might consider buying the matching footswitch for it.....
Question:	I can't decide between this one and the 6505 combo. What are advantages and disadvantages
Answer:	Hello. The Bandit 112 and 6505 Combo are both similar amps have many comparable features. Both models are great choices for heavy rock and metal. The Bandit has a great clean sound (for a variety of music styles) but also really kicks butt for metal, and has a lean more towards a classic metal sound. The 6505 Combo (and other amps in the 6505 series) are very high-gain amps and are specifically suited for metal. They have a sound that has often been described as being suited for heavy-metal, grunge-metal, but can also be suited for hard rock and even blues. The 6505 sound is based upon the old amp models Peavey had developed for Van Halen. The sound aspect is really a personal preference dependent upon what you play. Aside from that, keep the following points in mind: the Bandit 112 is more than 20lbs lighter than the 6505+ Combo; the Bandit 112 is purely emulated sound (no tubes) while the 6505+ Combo is a tru tube amp (while the Bandit sounds great, many players will argue that it is impossible to fully replicate the tube sound with digital circuitry); The Bandit 112 has more power and tends to be slightly louder than the 6505+ Combo, although it is a minimal difference and shouldn't be considered a big selling factor for one or the other. Both amps can have some functions controlled by a footswitch (sold separately for both models). Both have the same great Peavey reliability and warranty you have come to expect from all of their amps and pro audio gear! If you have further specific questions, we would be glad to help.

Bandit 112

At the 1995 NAMM show thousands of players, media and dealers crammed into a small demo room inside the Peavey exhibit, one after another, where our engineers set up a blind A/B comparison between their new invention and a real tube amp. No one could tell the difference between the two. Some 'golden ears' even thought the TransTube Bandit was the real tube amp. But How?

In devising the TransTube Circuitry, our engineers studied every aspect of how a tube amp works. We learned that recreating tube tone isn't merely a question of gain structure. It's about the entire component chain and how each one interacts with the others. It's about damping factor and the corresponding speaker response. It's about power amp compression. How the amp breaks up when driven hard, harmonic structure and non-linear gain stages. It's about cabinet size, bracing, wood and thickness. But most importantly, it's about what it's not.

Those other manufacturers' half-hearted attempt at tube emulation failed because they focused on the wrong elements. So we concentrated on emulating the tone characteristics we all recognize and love about tubes and 86'd the rest. It's a deceptively simple concept, but it took three U.S. Patents to map the entire process for the history books.

Set up a comparison at your Peavey dealer and discover the TransTube difference for yourself. No marketing hype needed. You won't believe your ears!

TransTube Series

The Sound of Tube Amps with the Convenience and Reliability of Solid-State.

Peavey TransTube Series guitar amps feature our exlcusive TransTube technology, which emulates the sound of tupe amplifiers with the convenience and reliability of solid-state design. The TransTube preamp tailors the gain level for the desired amount of drive, and the power amp responds to the preamp with the natural compression that increases with the amp's volume. The result is a line of amplifiers with widely ranging dynamics and natural 'grit,' just like a real tube amp.

Product description

The basic building blocks of the TransTube® sound are the exclusive designs of the preamp and power amp. The preamp section tailors gain to meet the need for any amount of drive, from crystal clear to thick, smooth sustain. The power amp reacts just like a tube output section by responding to the preamp with natural compression that increases as the amp gets louder. With TransTube®, you get a killer amp with widely ranging dynamics and natural "grit," just like a tube amp!

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this amp have an Aux.In jack
Answer:	Yes, it has a 3.5 mm aux port that you can play music through if that’s what you’re trying to do. You should be able play music through the aux and play along with it assuming your instrument is going into the 1/4 inch cable import. If you’re trying to use the aux port for your instrument, the amp just works as a speaker. Only the 1/4 inch port uses all the modeling effects and stuff so if you want that to be applied to your aux input, you will need an 3.5mm aux to 1/4 inch converter (they’re only a couple bucks). Hope this helped!

Some vendors may have made in China ones in their stock. As for why Amazon is showing the pictures, that's a more complex question. Amazon pulls information for their listings from many sources, including vendor feeds and seller feeds. Their listings are often an mismatch of various details from various sources. Amazon is in complete control of what is shown and seller's can only make suggestions.

Classic Series

Timeless Classics From An American Original.

Anyone who has managed to turn a passion into a career, can surely pinpoint the exact moment in time that they realized their life's calling. For Hartley Peavey, that moment occurred in 1957 at a Bo Diddley concert deep in Mississippi. The energy he felt and the tones he heard that night would ultimately take form in the first Peavey amplifier. The rest, as we say, is rock & roll history. Today, that original burst of inspiration lives on in one of Hartley's most enduring creations, the Peavey Classic Series.

User questions & answers

Question:	how many and what kind of tubes
Answer:	2x EL84 power tubes and 3x12AX7/ECC83 preamp tubes
Question:	When playing both tube lights are green, then when not playing one of both red. Bad tubes or bad amp
Answer:	I've played professionally for over 35yrs and still do. I started using the peavey classic series in 1993 and have used them since. I'm currently gigging in a 7 piece band with a horn section and all I use is this one little amp! Oh I own several of every model made and have 4 of these 20MH models. Each with a different tube configuration. The TSI (Tube Status Indicator) lights are Red when the amp is on and in standby mode. When the amp is on and in playing mode the lights will be Green. That is if your tubes are healthy both lights are Green. If any tube is going bad while your in playing mode the lights will turn Red. This is something that changes slowly. They don't immediately change from Green to Red. They will slowly turn Red. It will happen with in 5 minutes or so. However it will be clear that there is a tube going bad or getting ready to quit working. It will be clear. Green means the tubes are healthy and working and Red means one or more tubes are going bad and needs changed. The beauty of the TSI is so you can catch it and change the tube or tubes before the amp stops working. While playing live this a wonderful thing to have! Swap your cord into the standby amp before the next song and don't miss a beat. During the break change the tube or tubes! GL These are fantastic amps. Tone machines.... My band is Sell Out you can find us on Facebook where you can hear me playing with this amp live!
Question:	Many years ago i owned a 5150 head as well as the combo variant. given that this uses el84 tubes instead of 6l6gc, how similar exactly is the sound
Answer:	Close to the 6505 but not quite the same. The cleans are a lot cleaner on the MH
Question:	Since it has el84 tubes as compared to the standard 6l6 in the regular peavey 6505, will this amp work well for metal (disturbed, godsmack etc
Answer:	Absolutely! It uses up to three 12AX7 preamp tubes for the gain stage. Out of the box, it has as much gain as the full size 6505 & 6505+. The EL84 power tubes flavor the post gain when you drive it hard but you can use the tone stack to scoop the mids and boost the low end and highs with the global resonance and presence knobs respectively. I really liked how it sounded stock, but I pulled the EL84s and rebiased it for 6L6s. It's a beastly little amp that can deliver on all three wattage settings. I ran it at one watt through a 1x12 closed back in the studio for practice, a 2x12 at five watts for recording and a 4x12 at the full twenty watts for rehearsal/gigging. I love watching people's faces change from smirking when they first see it to mouth and eyes wide open when I dime it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this the same as a jj ecc83s? Which I think is great
Answer:	This is not a good amp for a microphone but if needed you could use the acoustic guitar settings for a microphone if the mic has @ 1/4 "jack. if you want an amp that is good for a microphone you are better off going with an amp that has 1/4" jacks as well as xlr input wich is most common with a quality mic. I personally like the acoustic brand amps for my microphones they are designed for an electric acoustic guitar and have xlr inputs and the reverb settings work well with microphones. Peavey also makes awesome products for running microphones check out there website you will find what you need rosemary. Sincerily Rick Barkle
