The Peavey Bandit - Redstripe

[DetroitBlues]

A couple months ago, I sold off my Jet City 2212 combo for a nice sum of a few hundred bucks, made a few dollars off it.  The amp was my band practice amp, so it had about a 100+ hours on it over a three year period.

Being such a high gain amp, I really couldn't use it with playing all country music, so I took a little bit of the proceeds and found a used Peavey Bandit Restripe, (USA made version) at Guitar Center's used gear.  This was supposed to be my new amp for band practice since its kept in a barn with little climate control  They have a reputation for sounding really good and built like tanks.

A couple weeks ago, our bass player took the PA out of the barn and grabbed my amp assuming it was my gig amp.  When I arrived at the fairgrounds, he already had my amp on stage, so I just went with it.

Honestly, the amp sounded really good.  Didn't need to turn it up, just needed to position it so I could hear it (often my amps are a few feet behind me and flat on the floor so its hard to really hear it).  

I might just get another one as they just don't make them like this anymore.  Analog, solid state, loud, and very usable all away around.
