Bandit® 112 

The beloved vintage warmth of a tube amp – the reliable, versatile work-horse qualities of a solid-state amp. With nearly 25 years of proof behind it, the Bandit® 112 TransTube Guitar Combo Amp brings the best of both worlds to guitar players in every genre. The proof is in the hearing!

Description

The discoveries made by Peavey engineers when creating the Bandit® 112 TransTube Guitar Combo Amp were ground-breaking in the world of sound technology. These innovative engineers took an approach different from those of their predecessors on the quest to accurately recreate tube tone from a solid-state amp -- and the resulting amp was unlike any before it.

The significance of each individual component within the amp and the way it reacts with all other components was the key discovery. The Peavey engineers fine-tuned seemingly minor details in the amp’s cabinet size, thickness, and material, as well as dampening factor, speaker response, gain stages, and more to achieve the wide dynamic range and sound of a tube amp – in the form of a solid state amp.

 Thousands of musicians present for the engineers’ experimental blind comparison at the 1995 National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) show struggled to hear any difference between the sounds of the TransTube Bandit® and a real tube amp. Some experts even mistakenly labeled the TransTube Bandit® as the real tube amp.

That was over twenty years ago, and yet the Bandit® 112 TransTube Guitar Combo Amp is still renowned for its unmatched tube-amp sound. The continuous betterment this amp has undergone throughout the past 2 decades, such as the incorporation of award-winning circuitry, has allowed it to remain incomparable among other solid-state amps.

The TransTube Bandit’s® reverb control and numerous volumes and fields allow players a great deal of versatility without the sacrifice of sound quality. As a solid-state amp, the TransTube Bandit® is reliable and convenient; it merges the positive qualities of tube amplifiers and solid state amplifiers and eliminates their affiliated downsides. What could be better than that?
