Product Detail
At the 1995 NAMM show, the Peavey TransTube Bandit caused a sensation. Our engineers set up a blind A/B test between our new TransTube invention and a real tube amp. Even 'golden ears' couldn't tell the difference, and some thought the TransTube Bandit was the real deal! We didn't just focus on gain structure. We studied every aspect of tube amps, from the entire component chain to damping factor, speaker response, power amp compression, and more. Other manufacturers' half - hearted tube emulation attempts failed because they targeted the wrong elements. We zeroed in on the tone characteristics we all love about tubes and ditched the rest. This simple - yet - revolutionary concept is backed by three U.S. Patents. Visit your Peavey dealer for a comparison and hear the TransTube difference for yourself, no marketing fluff needed.Features: 100 Watts (rms) into 4 Ohms (w/external speaker), 12" Blue Marvel® speaker, High and Low Gain inputs, TransTube tube emulation circuitry, Footswitchable Clean and Lead channels, 3 - band passive EQ on each channel, 3 - position EQ/Gain Voicing switch on each channel, Reverb with level control, Footswitchable Boost with level control, ¼" stereo Speaker Simulated Direct Out jack with level control, Optional footswitch, 80 Watts (rms) into 8 Ohms, Unpacked weight: 40.00 lb(18.144 kg), Packed weight: 48.00 lb(21.772 kg), Packed width: 15.75"(40.005 cm), Packed height: 28.37"(72.0598 cm), Packed depth: 23.87"(60.6298 cm).

Using your Peavey Bandit 112 TransTube amplifier is a breeze. First, connect your electric guitar to either the High or Low Gain input, depending on your preference. You can switch between the Clean and Lead channels using the footswitch if you have one. Adjust the 3 - band passive EQ on each channel to fine - tune the sound. The 3 - position EQ/Gain Voicing switch gives you more tonal options. For a bit of extra ambiance, use the reverb and control its level. The footswitchable boost can add some extra punch when you need it. You can also connect an external speaker if you want more volume. Just make sure to follow the power ratings. When it comes to maintenance, keep the amp in a dry and clean place. Wipe it down regularly with a soft, dry cloth. If you're not using it for a long time, unplug it. And always handle it with care to avoid any damage. Enjoy making great music with your amp!
