Advantages: Good Starter Amp
Disadvantages: Not Very loud

A 15 watt amp with Digital effects - The knobs are Clean Volume, Overdrive Gain, Overdrive Volume, Low, Contour, High, Effect type/parameter, Effect volume. The buttons are channel select and another button that says it will emulate the way valve amps work through speakers. It has guitar in, ext. in and headphone (emulated) out. To be completely honest, the one knob controlling which effect is used and also a parameter for the effect isn't particularly ... Read review

Advantages: Good features! Low cost!
Disadvantages: none

...a rock blues guitarist. The Peavey Bandit is made to look like an old tube amp which i personally love, if your a lead player this amp is particularly good as it cuts through when you need it. The features are good on the Bandit, A nice reverb can be selected plus a boost feature which really thickens up your sound and a wide selection of overdrive selection from Vintage, warm and modern. I've dragged the Bandit around alot of venues and its a good ... Read review

Advantages: Good bang for buck
Disadvantages: Effects are pretty poor and overall sound isn't great.

Not the greatest amp, althought it does the job. I was sold this when I was shown it by a sales rep in my local music store. It seemed awesome at the time I was just wowed over by the guys skill more than anything. Anyway got it home and was pretty happy with it. For a 15W amp its LOUD, really loud for its price and size and for that I give it credit. When I started to get a bit more into my guitar and I wanted to try get specific sounds out the ...
...and unauthentic and the flange, phaser and tremolo effects are pretty poor. Sure it's nice for an amp this price and size to have all these effects, but they are not great. The amp looks pretty good and is built durably I would say. All in all its a pretty good and loud amp for its price, but don't expect anything amazing from it. ... Read review

Advantages: Portable, oher uses
Disadvantages: Poor OD Channel

This amp has got 1 volume, 1 tone and one Off/Clean/OD knob. It has a single input at the front and a headphone out on the side. As stated above it has a clean and an overdrive channel, the latter being much louder. I mainly use this amp when I'm playing in the garden or outside. I also use it as an iPod speaker thanks to a patch cable and a jack adapter. I play too many styles to mention and it handles about half of them. One feature I wish this ...
...be very weak. I use this amp with a Harley Benton superstrat or with an Epiphone LP 100. As mentioned with a bit of coaxing it can cope with some of the styles I play. The distortion is not brutal enough unless it is cranked which leads to quite a lot of unwanted fizz. When either of the channels is over about half the start to break up and distort, this adds some crunch to the clean channel and a bit too much fizz to the OD channel. So far nothing ... Read review
