Bang for buck practice amp :D
'Spretty good - sounds better at whisper volume than my vypyr 30 (and at high vol, while the vypyr kills it in between)
-
hehe, hard to go wrong for a tenner.
-
Quite!
-
10'er cool think was my second amp one of these

my 2nd amp was the next one down from the Bandit - the Express, but my mate had the Bandit and I never thought it sounded as good.
-
yeah first was a 70's jhs 100w good speakers cr@p amp....blew it up caught string in a extension plug...nice blue spark
-
my old local rock night got restarted last week... one of the speakers was a peavey bandit
-
Was it a Bandit 65? I sold one about 4 years ago on Ebay for £60, so I suspect you're in profit already...
Great little amp actually - lovely solid state cleans...
-
A great score ; especially considering that I would now be happy to gig with it . :)
-
That amp is rubbish.
-
Its an 80W, bump.
I dont intend to sell it - theres nothing that I'll get more use from for its likely price of ~70/80 quid or so. Its doing a job I need to be done; sound tolerable in the lounge at a volume level thats lower than 'tv' so I can sit and practice while distracting myself watching stuff; something neither my vypyr or valvetronixXL are any good at, even though I like both better at medium volume (ironically my powerball sounds the best at those volumes, but its in the other room and wont fit in the lounge)
So, as a guy thats not a terribly big fan of peavey amps I now have 2 :lol:

Its pretty good for the cost of 4 pints of beer :P

I'll take the beer!
-
Figured you would
I'll take both - the beer will make the amp sound better!
-
why don't you play unplugged while watching tv? can't bring t3h br00tz that way?
-
Used to. It needs amplification, for me at least, I've learned. I can convince myself that I'm playing cleanly when not without some gain to show bad note defintion, muting etc.

Thumbs up contribution! :roll:

And yours.

£10? Who are you.... Dick Turpin? :lol: Sounds like you got a good deal there mate!

Strange co-incidence this, we were speculating in the pub only last night as to where all the Peavey Bandits had gone, as Peavey sold 1000's of them!
They seem to have gone into an amp Bermuda triangle somewhere.

Well that told me! :lol:

There's still LOOOOOADS of them in music colleges up and down the land.

Yeah, they were the standard 'first real amp' among my mates and I when I was a teen. I hadnt seen any in years, till this one was offered to me by a guy at work.

Same here! I'd not seen one in DECADES, and last week there was a Peavey Bandit @ 30th St Guitars and some dude was playing through it while I was auditioning the Bubmox Cielo.

aye, to be fair, that's true. If i could play unplugged all the time i'd sound pretty good. :lol:
if this were HC there'd be a ton of posts saying, "but distortion just covers up your mistakes"...
-
a Bandit was the first "substantial" amp i played through, although it didn't belong to me. at the time, all i wanted was as much distortion as possible, and it delivered! i seem to remember it sounded pretty good, for what it was. a friend got a peavey stereo chorus combo shortly after, which sounded similar, and he gigged with it for a couple of years before getting a Mesa Recto-verb. i think he still uses the Peavey at home though.
not bad for a tenner, congratulations :)
