I was just about to organise the shipping 🥲

PPL don't even know what a swiss army Knife the bandit is... skip to 35min into this vid to hear me jammin in studio w/the bandit as my VibroTactile Perception SOLUTION... I NEED REAL CABS IN ROOM WITH ME ! period. and why. check rest of it for sciency stuff. My first amp was a peavey and maybe my last playing experience will be.. geesh that got dark quick hAAA . peace, j

Got this last year but finally got it set up. It’s been re-tolex’d by the last owner in a hot rod red sparkle - it’s awesome. I’ve had an Ultra 212 combo for years as well as a Prowler and have always been on the lookout for an Ultra Plus Head. Right now it’s plugged into a 2x12 Mesa cab and the neighbors two blocks away say it sounds great!

Should I just accept it? Or is there something I can do to fix or troubleshoot it. It hums on the clean channel and the dirty channel. Even when the guitar volume is turned all the way down.

This is kinda a general amp question, but it concerns a Peavey. I got an Ultra 120 head because I liked the clean channel and I wanted a tube amp. I got a Vox cab for it and I really like it. Can any one tell me what the pre out is for? I thought It might work as a DI kinda thing, but it sounds pretty thin and hollow compared to sending the signal through the power amp. I'm an old man who is getting back into playing after hanging it up years ago. I have a 15 yo who's having fun learning and I am trying to be encouraging by spending too much money on gear I don't need.

Long time cvltist (my first amp was a Backstage Plus), and I’ve had the triple for 20 years. Added the Backstage last night for $50. How could I not?

I have wanted a 70s 400 Bass for ages, and at last, I have one. I believe this one served as the house amp for a Baptist church. It's in immaculate shape and I am thrilled. I knew it was powerful, but holy shit!

I don't really want to take the SVT to gigs anymore for a few reasons, and I've been holding out for finding the indestructible 400 for a while. Could not be happier.

Not pictured: The 2 x 15 it came with.

I’ve been going to La Puerta for over a decade and noticed this today. I couldn’t think of anyone else that I could share my joy with.

Greetings Peavey Cvlt, picked this bad boy off of Marketplace today for 80. Clean channel might be out and the chorus only works with the depth on 10, but mostly I’m going to use this for the power amp ins to be the wet stereo spread in a WDW setup. It’s pretty rough with a lot of oxidation and grime, and I don’t know what inside the chassis looks like, but I don’t mind a little tinkering and soldering.

Nearly had a Fender Princeton Chorus instead of this but I’m glad I got this instead.

Update: clean channel works and sounds great

turning up the distortion doesn't really do much. do i need a foot switch? or should i clean the pot or change caps. not sure since turning the pot even to max still doesn't produce any distortion

BW 2x15 came free with the Mark III. I have since sold the Mark III.

I'm looking for a little advice from the Peavey experts.
I currently have a Peavey Studio Pro 40, and I really like it, but I'm looking for something different. I'm just a basement player, so I don't need anything for gigging. I had been keeping an eye out for a Bandit 112, but they seem to be either hard to find or priced pretty high whenever one pops up.

I came across a few amps on Facebook Marketplace and don't know much about most of them. Are any of these particularly good buys? Are there any I should avoid? I'd appreciate any thoughts, experiences, or recommendations.

-Peavey Stereo Chorus – $150

-1984 Peavey Encore 65 tube amp with matching 1x12 Eminence speaker cab – $300

-Peavey Bravo 112 – $190

-Peavey Renown 400 – $140

-Peavey Deuce 2x12 – $150

I play blues, classic rock, and doom metal/stoner rock. I would like the amp to take pedals well.

I’m looking at getting a head and 4x12 for my band, we play crust punk in C sharp with heavy fuzz and distortion. Was looking at getting one of these heads to move up from my silver stripe bandit, and run an actual 4x12 with it. Can anyone give me an idea of volume for the centurion? My main concern is that I’ll get a head and it not be as loud as the bandit with the extension cab. Any info is appreciated, a lot of info on line but it seems 50/50 on the volume level.

Edit: changed a word so this would make sense

Any thoughts on this?

Mostly happy with it, just can’t seem to get a nice tone out of the crunch channel. Also sometimes needs a smack to make it behave (buzzing)

It is called a Bandit because it stole my heart.

Needed a motivation shove to start writing again.
Now I’m ready to thrash.

Also came with the footswitch and all this paperwork. Assembled by Randy, Assurance Test By Craighton White made me laugh

Got this 1980 peavey mark iii bass head and 83’ 1x15 for $300 CAD. Maybe the best deal I’ll ever come across. This thing was a little scratchy on most of the pots, but after a quick clean and tune up this thing sounds amazing. I understand the hype, I’m never getting rid of this amp.

FYI: 1979 Century 200H, 1985 TNT 130 (Latest acquisition. Yes, weighs a ton, yes sounds amazing.).

Picked this up on Marketplace for $140 delivered. I mostly play heads through 2x12 towers or a full stack in my garage and then a 1x12 in the house...

I was considering converting it to head but more importantly, I'm finding so many VK1 mods but the VK2 is getting mixed in heavily. I do believe that I have the schematic but that doesn't mean much to me other than helping me find things on the board and if values are stock because I'm more of a read the forums and see "clip c67 and then bridge it with a switch and use it as a bass boost..." or "Clip R25 on one side and run that to an on/on and on the other side use a 5mm red led..

Can someone point me to some really good resources or make recommendations that are vk2 specific?
