This amp has some fantastic tones and does what it claims - reproduces the tube characteristics of a tube amp. The clean channel with its 3 voicings has enough tonal variation to satisfy anyone. The overall volume of the amp is plenty loud enough for a small to medium sized gig. The drive channel has some very useable distortions that can be dialled in using the pregain and volume knobs and selecting from the 3 voicings. The BIG downside of this amp is the MASSIVE HUM that it generates on the drive channel. It's there all the time and gets worse as the pregain is dialled up. With a high pregain setting it's very ugly. I've tried several different Bandits in the shops and they all do it, with or without a guitar and lead plugged in. So this is definitely a design fault in the amp itself. Given that this has been an issue with this amp for years I can't understand why Peavey haven't done something about it. A decent noise gate will, of course, eliminate the hum while you aren't playing but once you start playing the hum is underlying every note you play - especially at high pregain levels. I returned my Bandit and got a refund. Very disappointed, as I loved everything else about this amp and wanted a compact powerful combo to use as a practice amp. Oh well - back to the drawing board!Read full review
The Peavey Bandit 112 is a great small amp. Has great features and performs as expected with Peavey amps. Can vary the sound as expected and performs non stop all day without missing a beat. Good value for the cost

Sorry thought this review was about a Marshall 20 I bought a while ago. Apologies. Have to write minimum amount of words, so hope you are all having a nice day.
I bought this amp for a party gig with my band and i can just say Beautiful amp! great tone and swerve in genre fit. Clean channel can go from smooth jazzy cleans too more crunchy rock cleans. Lead channel rocks Classic setting is perfect to rock to AC/DC Modern cahnnel is great for more modern rock songs the only thing i didn't like tat much is the High Gain channel very fuzzy and muffled but other than that perfect
I have a Roland JC 120 Ive owned for many years and recently bought 5 yes 5 ! Vox modelling amps 2 x vt60+´s, one ad30vt, one VT80+ and a VT100...The Peavey bandit 112 was a spur of the moment buy and I was so impressed I bought a second Bandit 112. Not a bad word on all the reviews Ive read. Great clean sounds great overdrive channel, heaps of power at 8 ohms (80W RMS) and if you plug in another 8 ohm ext cab the 4 ohm load (which the amp can handle) pushes output to 100w RMS ! Also these amps are built like tanks ... Whats not to like !
