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.

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.

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:	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!
Question:	Does it have tubes
Answer:	No
