Nice demo...nice playing! Thanks for posting. I have a mid 90's Bandit 112 USA Silver Stripe withe Sheffield speaker. And I have a separate 1 x 12 cab with a Creamback 65W speaker. I must say I prefer the old stock Sheffield over the cab with the Creamback.
I have the same amp: Bandit red stripe usa version. The Celestion speakers are not much or any improvement over the sheffield speakers in my opinon. I own different celestion speakers and I tried them too... but stuck to the sheffield. I used marshall stacks and hiwatt, mesa, fenders, vox, and pretty much the top tube amps out there, The bandit can stand its own ground. Im very impressed with the amp. its now one of my giging amps.. the marshall stacks are staying home. cheers
NICE to hear positive things about the amp, just bought a Bandit Transtube 112 brannew ( says 06/2018 in the back, made last summer?), hope it lasts long, got a 100W speaker from a Tech 21(broken in instead of the intact Blue Marvel...) people hype about Texas Heat, but some say the Blue Marvel aint bad after proper break-in, ill try the Tech 21 speaker first, and if my sound lacks bass Ill think again, cheers to ya all, play those frets down gently so the neighbours can age gently ...btw refretting a guitar nowadays is TERRIBLY PRICY! omg, my Pacificas cost 300€s and refretting one about 400€s! ( time to either buy a new one or scallop the board,,, anywhoo the spring its on its way, get your ukes out! (me im tryin to convert my neck single coils into noiseless jazzy pickups with two pedals: SD Pickup Booster & EHX Hum Debugger, good luck with that, if i succeed ill be a happy camper!!!) like your style, very cool! K : )
Just got a secondhand 2003 Bandit 112 (Red-Stripe) for £50, with manual and original foot switch. Very impressed with the tone and the volume this thing has.
Peavey are way underated, marshall is meh. Most guitar speakers are a waste of money as far as being an upgrade, to actually upgrade a guitar speaker you have to actually step up to JBL, Fane, Altec, Electro-voice and I wanna say Weber, cant ever remember the name. Maybe even stuff like Rockford Fosgate, High end competition kickers, any competition car woofers I suspect would sound better than celestion, eminence and the common typical brands of guitar speakers that i believe are just different flavors of sound coloring , where them brands i mentioned are built to take abuse and NOT color the sound, they give you what the amp is giving you, thats why i think high end car woofers would work great too
I cut the center section (about 10 inches) of my Bandit out ,mounted the top 5 inches with the bottom 5 and made it in to a Bandit amp HEAD, so I can plug in any cabinet I want. I use Eminence patriot texas heat or Jenson mod , these work well for me at a good price. the Sheffield went in to an Isolation cab with a shure 57 mic.
I got the red stripe for $80 and it looks like crap but sounds fine. Decided to mod it. Screwed a small piece of wood behind where the speaker is and mounted an output jack and sent the two feeds from the amp over to it. Then I wired another jack from the speaker to the wood so I can use a small cable to use it as a combo at home or bring it to my band space and use it with my 412. 10/10 amp, i love this thing. Put a tube screamer TS9 or TS808 in the mix and an attenuator and your metal tone will be as tube as you can get without buying a tube head.
Nice demo! After several years of looking for an inexpensive Bandit, I finally found a red stripe, Sheffield equipped one for $78 at a pawn shop! It’s a bit rough cosmetically, but in good working condition.
Just curious as which Speaker you ended up keeping in your red stripe as both sound great but it sounds like the creamback is more 3d sounding where the 1230 is more directional like a closed back almost
A mi entender la creamback tiene unos graves y un sustain mas presente...al igual que armonicos de campana mas suaves...el ampli tiende a sonas mas a un amp de bulbos por la compresion de estas frecuencias......pero aun así con la shefield 1230 suena muy bien. Me parece que la creamback suena parecida a la black shadow que hace celestion para Mesa boogie.
Duas perguntas ? O Bandit 112 tem um som Clean Mais pro Marshall ou Fender (Como referência) . E sabem me dizer se o Peavey Chorus Special 2x12" tem o Msmo som e qualidade do Bandit? Ótimo Vídeo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hola, te respondo en Español. El sonido Clean del Peavey Bandit es más tipo Fender. Yo nunca he tenido oportunidad de tocar con un Peavey Chorus Special, entonces, honestamente No puedo hacer una comparación real contra el Bandit. Muchas gracias por ver el video. Saludos!
It’s pretty versatile and can be set to sound similar to both, but when set a certain way they sound a lot like a Marshall Plexi. I have been able to get Fender like scooped mid cleans, as well as Marshall lead tones. It’s a very versatile amp. They are often called “The poor man’s Plexi”, so…
The Sheffield has a nice open tone and a better range without that compression/suppression you get from the Creamback. Maybe the 1230 is not quite as tight as the Creamback, but small price to pay for the tonal range it has. Peavey won this one, IMHO.
It's the Creamback for me. Although it has less sparkle, it also has less trashy highs. It also sounds more solid & punchy in the lows & low mids and just has a fatter tone. In time, it'll break up even sweeter. Then just add a bit more treble, and you can put that Sheffield in the closet. But of course, it's all about the sound that YOU'RE after and both have their good points. Either way, you can't go wrong the Peavey "I don't need no stinkin tubes" Bandit! So Rock On!
How do you feel about the Red Stripe Bandit VS The Transtube Silver Stripe 112 with "Sheffield" written on the bottom? Does the Red Stripe do well at lower bedroom volumes? I just sold a Fender Princeton 112 Plus SS amp. Sounded great, but I could not turn it past 1 without blowing out my eardrums...Thanks!
I can't talk about the Bandit Silver Stripe, I've never had one... but I can tell you that the Bandit Red Stripe works very well at bedroom volumes... it is a very useful amp!
I came here for the Bandit 112 and stayed for the jazzy funky playing.
Hi! Thanks for watching and comments!

And thanks for made my decision easier to buy one. This is the best amp review. Thanks mate
István Békei Hi! I'm glad to help! Thanks for watching! :-)

The Bandit Red Stripe is a really good amp! Congrats! :-)
The celestion sounds tighter but i like the mids and the bite of the sheffield
Hi! Thanks for watching
Sheffield all the way. Much better definition. Ideal sounding speaker band situations.
Just curious as which Speaker you ended up keeping in your red stripe as both sound great but it sounds like the creamback is more 3d sounding where the 1230 is more directional like a closed back almost
Have 2 Red stripe USA bandits and luv em. One in the homestead and one for gigging. 1230 Stock Sheffield all the way here
J I Yeah! The Bandit rules! ;-)

Hi! Thanks for watching! :-)
You summed it up perfectly.
have you ever had problems considered that the Red Stripe is 100w and the creamback only 75w?
The Celestion sounds great on it's own but in a live band context I bet the midrangy Stock Sheffield will crush it all day.
Astronaut Good point! Thanks for watching! ;-)
Great demo!!
Marco Savini Hi! Thanks a lot!
Nothing man.. cool videos and nice sounds.. I subbed in your channel.. if you want in mine..
Thanks for the support! 🤘
regards
Marco
Marco Savini Yes of course!
would you say 1230 are better then 1290 for Sheffield?
Stuart I can't say that... I've never played the 1290... Thanks for watching!
1230 all day!
Hi! Thanks for watching! :-)
Sheffield sound much better on the drive channel and a little better on clean. I guess they really new what they were doing after all.
Hi! Thanks for watching and comment!
So if you want an open back cab, that's definitely the amp to get!
I prefer the original speaker.
Hi! Thanks for watching!
Sheffield has more clarity in them
Creamback for me!
AllKeys JamTracks I agree! Thanks for watching!
Creamback!
I have the exact same amp, got it for $128 in very good condition.
The Peavey is a great amp! Thanks for watching!
I don’t know how you recorded this, but for a comparison on speakers the audio is far from acceptable.
Astronaut Hi! Thanks for watching!
why are you gay?
At least the guitar didn't sound obviously out of tune like so many of these demos and shootouts
Nice...now I gotta get one. Need to figure out hope to hide it from the wife...maybe behind the Peavey Deuce?
Hahaha! Yes! That could be a good place to hide the Bandit! Thanks for watching!
How do you feel about the Red Stripe Bandit VS The Transtube Silver Stripe 112 with "Sheffield" written on the bottom? Does the Red Stripe do well at lower bedroom volumes? I just sold a Fender Princeton 112 Plus SS amp. Sounded great, but I could not turn it past 1 without blowing out my eardrums...Thanks!
I can't talk about the Bandit Silver Stripe, I've never had one... but I can tell you that the Bandit Red Stripe works very well at bedroom volumes... it is a very useful amp!
Prefer the Sheffield
codgerburley1 Yeah! The Sheffield sounds good too! Thanks for watching!
The sheffield way better
The problem of Peavey are speakers, the sound is very dried and fake, celestion sound like valves.
Desconecte la bocina del peavey, ahora no se cual cable va al positivo si el azul o el amarillo ??? Ayuda
Hola! Amarillo es Positivo... Gracias!
