(1989-1995) The Solo Series Bandit 112 introduced many new features, the most notable being an increase in power to 80 watts RMS and a choice between Peavey's Scorpion speaker and Peavey's newly introduced Sheffield speaker. Peavey knows what they're doing.Ī partial copy and paste from the Peavey forum thread "History and Timeline of the Peavey Bandit":
Someone mentioned that they would change out their Sheffield speaker: why? They're fine. I wouldn't sweat minor schematic changes. I have a couple of USA TT Bandits and think they're great. I know that people love their MIC Bandits - esp if they aren't encumbered in their appreciation by country of origin or stripe colors. I don't recall reading a lucid description of changes made along the way to Transtube Bandits though there is a lot of currency in stripe color as making a difference out on the internet.
I haven't played any of the Chinese amps so I can't comment on those. There are some who prefer the delta badged red stripe amps, and others who feel there is little difference between the various versions, I'm in the later camp but everyone has different ways of using and hearing gear. The red stripes have the vintage position on the voicing switch, and that works well with single coils for cleaner playing, of course you also get the modern setting. I'm not one of them finding the TS amps harsh sounding on OD, compared to the TT1 and I feel the silver stripes are a big improvement on cleans, almost as good as the old saturation amps. There are some who actualy prefer the super sat amps to the TTs. They have the thrash switch and seem to have a more compressed OD that works well with more aggressive styles, they are also in more retangular cabs, and some feel they can hear the difference in front to back sound wave inter action. The TT 1 silver stripe amps seem more closely related to the teal stripe super sat amps. I think it depends on your style and the guitars you use.
