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.

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.

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 :)
