Peavey Bandit 112 Guitar Amplifier with TransTube Technology

I use this as my go to fir writing and rehearsal

Originally purchased as a practice amp, but, power, portability, clarity and multi functions have me rethinking this as a primary amp depending on venue.

I own several tube amps, as well as a few solid states, and I've been hearing nothing but good about this amp for far too long, so I ended up giving it a go. Right off the bat, I was very disappointed. The clean settings were okay, but nowhere near as good as my Roland Jazz Chorus or Roland Blues Cube, so I don't see myself ever bringing it out for that purpose. The Boss Katana has even got better cleans, despite the unfortunate volume drop on that setting. However, I was more excited for the leads on this amp, but I was let down again, as none of them sounded all that great. All of them sounded similar, and were very muffled for some reason, even after adjusting the EQ a bunch. As a caveat, this might be a good starter amp for a new player, but I'd probably save some money and get a Boss Katana instead.

Great amp. Not as sparkly as a Fender and not as thick as a Marshall but really nice for a solid state amp.

My old blue stripe was better built. Looks like it was assembled by monkeys. Screw rolling loose in the back, rack unit sliding out and not fitting properly. That aside.this thing is a Clean beast. Love the clean tones and reverb. It has great rock and blues tones too. I can get decent metal tones out of it, but I patch it to a 2x12 and use an overdrive to get a more focused distortion. The damping feature on the back adds more tone varieties too. This thing is heavy. The more I use it the more I like it for home practice. This thing gets loud at volume level 1. Great little sounding amp with outputs for cabs or a direct out but poorly assembled. I use an assortment of mid to high range guitars, heads, cabs, combos, pedals, and play modern progressive metal with elements of rock, jazz.

I am building a semi pro studio just because I love music that much. I picked up this because I wanted pro quality however I don't have a thunderbolt 3 pc and don't want a mac. I use my gaming pc which is pretty much a monster compared to any music computer I see. The quality of this is great I've been using for a month and wow. The mic pre amps are just wonderful. I play metal and learning to make dubstep. This thing using as direct input using mogami gold cable is very very clean sounding. I've only used a old tascam I was given from early 2000's, a fender mustang v1, and a Scarlett 2i2 2nd gen. This and the Scarlett have no latency well in terms of what hand eye ear coordination would notice. I record all the time using di or micing my triple rectifier with recto oversized cab slant version. I would say get one if you can swing the price. If you wanna record bands with a pro sound but don't want to go mac or break the bank get this plus you can expand it with a octopre and get 8 more mic pres.
