Looks like this is a pretty popular video on YouTube, so you might have seen it already, but just in case . . .
Most of this sounds amazingly "tubey" to me!

Very nice demo of latest Bandit
Re: Very nice demo of latest Bandit
Just a few more comments:
1. I wish Peavey would put some good Bandit clips like this in the Products section of this site. I think it would really help sell Bandits and the rest of the Transtube line.
2. The only thing I wish they would change about this Bandit is the knobs. It's too hard to see where they are pointing.
3. If I weren't already happy with my red striper, I would have to get one of these!

Re: Very nice demo of latest Bandit
I love the bandit too, but only when using the amp's drive. The sound is horrible when you use distortion pedals. I actually considered buying one, but then I discovered the 6505+ 112 combo...and I got a job at a guitar store....and I got awesome discounts...etc etc etc...

Re: Very nice demo of latest Bandit
Yeah, I wouldn't turn down a discounted deal on a new 6505 either! The Bandit just fills a nice niche. It's pretty easy to tote, inexpensive, can run an ext cab together with the on-board speaker. Works great as a budget back up or super reliable main amp. I was just a little surprised how good it sounds in the clip.Tankman wrote:I love the bandit too, but only when using the amp's drive.

Glad you're digging the 6505!

I was shocked too. I posted if he was running any thing thru the loop he said nothing.I didnt buy at first thinking he had it miced or some kind of magic but Earlier on he made mention that the video was recorded with the camcorders condenser mic. That sound has got me drooling! PEAVEY KIX BUT!!!

Re: Very nice demo of latest Bandit
That video convinced me to try one almost two years ago. I agree about the knobs so I replaced them. Also removed the nameplate and the buzzing sheet metal that held it. I use a Rat and a chorus pedal with mine and they both work well.

Re: Very nice demo of latest Bandit
Holy crap! I had heard that video before but never looked close enough to realize it was a Bandit! There can't be a ss amp anywhere that sounds better than that.EL BANDITO wrote:That video convinced me to try one almost two years ago. I agree about the knobs so I replaced them.

Also, I really like the knobs you put on your Bandit! Much easier to see than the stock knobs IMO. Of course, I'd leave the Peavey name on it, but otherwise yours looks great. Did you get the replacement knobs from a major company or are they no-names?
Thanks for sharing.

Re: Very nice demo of latest Bandit
I may have to try one of those Retro 30's. I want more down low and a higher end that's less harsh at times.triguy wrote:Holy crap!

Thanks for the comment. I already remounted the name plate. I wish I had one of the old style pointy Peavy plates. Those look cool to me. The knobs were some I happened across for free. So sorry no mfr. to refer to but I already had found some online that were better than these for less than a buck each each. http://www.pedalpartsplus.com/mm5/merch ... y_Code=KNB
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the link! I like that cream pointer knob at the bottom right of that first web page. I wonder how that would look on a Bandit. The knob on the top right looks like the ones in your picture.

Re: Very nice demo of latest Bandit
Do any of you know if an older Bandit foot switch will work with the newest model? I know they both have 2 buttons, but on the older models the 2nd button turns the reverb on/off and on the new ones the 2nd button is a boost.
