This amps is PERFECT for metal! It's like it was designed for that style particularly, has a distortion so defined when you put the mids up, it's a great amp even although it's transistorized, but you get so wanderful tones in the line of metal music. In high volume it's a beast, I use it with my band and it stand out from the rest so easily and it putting down the "great" Marshall valvestate 8080 from the other guitarrist that it's in my band too. Cheers and buy this awesome amp!!
How kool! I didn't realize this little amp has so much potential.. I've been play'n one just like it for years and mine hasn't made those sounds yet... thats some clean pick'n man. Nice.
exellent. This vid told me exactly what I need to know. I have the Peavey Supreme 160 head, and I wanted to know if this amp (since it has all the same controls and It looks exactly the same) sounded exactly the same so I could take this around to my friends hoeses to jam with so I wouldnt need to lug my head and my enormous cabinet around everywhere. Exellent playing as well man, you are great at guitar, never quit. Oh, and another thing. we use the EXACT same settings :)
@InFuriatedShadows Yes that's right, but the amp sound like that because it was filmed with a digital camera and it doesn't take the bass frequency of it (plus the low quality youtube video), but I ensure you this amp has more bass than you really need, I actually use the dirty channel with the knob bass at 9 (with a 15 max), and if you put the volume at 3!! it blows your head away!! Trust me and try one, it won't desappoint you!
@sementalinchains You need to spray contact cleaner into all the jack plugs and push a lead in several times to clean them out. There should be four at the rear, and two at the front (effect send/return). These are quite remarkable amps.
It brings a tear to me eye lad..... I had this amp for years, it was ripped off! I never sore it again.....Its still a sad day today when i think of her....Very nic indeed.....
@ghost1536 Hi, I get the distortion putting the amp in the dirty channel turning down the "channel button" in the left part of the amp (side under the Bright button). Then I turn to 6 or 7 the gain knob (called "Supersat") in the sector of "lead gain", and there you got the amazing distortion!

Dude sweet Vid you can produce some KILLER Tones from this Amp! I have the same Bandit (Teal Stripe) from the 90's W/The Scorpion in it. GOD I LOVE THIS AMP!!!! IT HAS & ALWAYS WILL KICK SOME MAJOR ASS!!! Take It Easy......
I have a Peavy solo series special 112 scorpion equipped amp from the late 80s early 90s? I've had it for about 15 - 20 years. Loud as fuck! Its a beast of an amp -160w I've never had volume past half way!
@InFuriatedShadows Yes, you could do that absolutely even when this pedal it's kinda bluesy you could use it to level up the gain in the crunch chanel of the Classic 50. Has it 2x12 or 4x10 speakers?
@Joeybonnert, even without tubes? because I could just getmy True bbypass ibanez Ts7 and crank it up with gain n volume on pedal n scoop the mids on the classic and get the 2 channels jumped like a marshall.
The Peavey Classic it's a really great amp but actually it's not so good if you want metal sounds, this amp is for Rock or blues, except if you use it with a lot gain distortion pedal, but personally I don't like metal distortion pedals, they are so artificially and noisy. A cool dist pedal is the DS-1or the DS-2 from Boss but their sounds like Nirvana stuff (don't buy the metal zone, it's horrible). I recommend to you the Peavey Bandit 112, it's not expensive and work just fine and so reliable!
i have few problems with mine , when i press reverb it's start buzzing , on drive chanel turns volume down by itself , cleans works great , what should i do ?
I bought a Bandit from a pawnshop last year. I think it's of your series - mid 80s. But there is far too much noise from it on the dirty channel and it's far too loud. I'm starting to think the amp needs reparing - shame, as you got a fantastic tone out of it!
I have a problem with my Peavey Bandit 112 Solo Series Amp. No audio comes out of the damn thing. I moved all the nobs and switched around the input into different ports. Still nothing. Can I get some help with this thing?
@ZachVanHalen Well this amp actually sounds very trash metal, so I'll tell you my settings and hope this help you to get a nice sound. I plug my guitar into the "low gain jack" because has more clear distortion, ok then I set the "supersat knob" at 7 (don't forget my guitar has an active pick up EMG). "Bottom" 9, "Body" 0, "Edge" 9, and Reverv 0. This settings are just ok to the tone of my guitar so I don't believe that it'll work so well in all guitars.

@FREDMERZRS Thanks! The amp is from the 1991.
It brings a tear to me eye lad..... I had this amp for years, it was ripped off! I never sore it again.....Its still a sad day today when i think of her....Very nic indeed.....
@Joeybonnert, 2x12, but it doesnt have 2 channels. it has 4 inputs that you ahve to jumper. It's not the new one.
@AwWDesignZ thx a lot! the scorpion is a fantastic speaker, sounds so great. The sheffield one I've never heard it, sorry.

@utubemanx I used just a little bit of delay from a digital delay, an Ibanez PT-3 Powertrio from the 90's, only this effect and nothing more.
great tone + great playing .. I queu this up just to listen :)
Dude sweet Vid you can produce some KILLER Tones from this Amp! I have the same Bandit (Teal Stripe) from the 90's W/The Scorpion in it. GOD I LOVE THIS AMP!!!! IT HAS & ALWAYS WILL KICK SOME MAJOR ASS!!! Take It Easy......
Hola como estas, tienes el manual del Peavy Bandit 112 Solo Series en formato pdf?

PEAVEY BANDIT IS DA SH*T!!!!!!
what effects did you use for this video?
@Joeybonnert, even without tubes? because I could just getmy True bbypass ibanez Ts7 and crank it up with gain n volume on pedal n scoop the mids on the classic and get the 2 channels jumped like a marshall.
Should I buy an old Peavey Classic (50 watt) instead? It's got tubes and I can jumper the 2 channels normal and bright like an old marshall
The Peavey Classic it's a really great amp but actually it's not so good if you want metal sounds, this amp is for Rock or blues, except if you use it with a lot gain distortion pedal, but personally I don't like metal distortion pedals, they are so artificially and noisy.

Great demo and great playing. Do you know the exact year/model of this amp that you are playing?
Thanks!!
i have few problems with mine , when i press reverb it's start buzzing , on drive chanel turns volume down by itself , cleans works great , what should i do ?
i have the same amp its quite good
How much was this when you bought it? An approximate price is fine if you can't remember.
how is it for mid scooped metal? :P

can i use this amp to play thrash metal rhythm guitar?
mine is very noisy. how can i fix that?
@InFuriatedShadows Peavey Bandit 112!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do ..
The lead tone is OK but the bass notes have no bottom end at all. the playing is very good. Turn the mids up a little bit and back off the gain a bit.
I have Peavey special solo series 1991
how many watts is it?
it's an 80 watts amp.
i have this
just a little bit of delay
