Peavey TRANSTUBE BANDIT 112 Manual page 3

Congratulations on your purchase of the all new Bandit@ 112 TransTubeTM Series. This amp represents
years of research on vacuum tube emulation, resulting in a totally new Bandit. The preamp has been rede-
signed, using patent-applied for technology that redefines tubelike distortion and harmonic generation in
solid-state amps.
TM
The new T Dynamics circuitry, also awaiting several patents, creates the long sought for tube power
compression phenomenon. This, in combination with resonance and presence circuitry, yields the closest
tube amp simulation to date. This compression effect is increased by turning the T. Dynamics control down,
which lowers the power level the amp puts out.
To further enhance the performance of the Bandit, an added external speaker jack increases the power to
100 watts, and a footswitchable effects loop allows for greater flexibility.
FRONT PANEL FEATURES
HIGH GAIN INPUT (1)
Used for most electric guitars. It is 6 dB louder than Low Gain input.
LOW GAIN INPUT (2)
Provided for instruments that have extremely high outputs, which can result in overdriving (distorting) the
High Gain input. If both inputs are used simultaneously, the output levels are the same (both are Low Gain).
VOLUME (3)
Controls the volume level of the Clean channel.
BRIGHT SWITCH (4)
Provides a preset boost (6 dB) to treble frequencies. To activate, depress the switch to its "in" position.
CHANNEL SELECT SWITCH (5)
Allows selection of the Lead or Clean channel. The "in" position of the switch selects the Lead channel and
the "out" position selects Clean.
NOTE: Channel selection may also be achieved by the remote footswitch. If remote selection is desired, the
channel switch must be in the "in" (Lead) position.
LOW, MID, & HIGH EQ (6)
Passive tone controls that regulate the low, mid, and high frequencies of the Clean channel.
PRE GAIN (7)
Controls the input volume level of the Lead channel.
THRASH SWITCH (8)
Notches the mid range about 20 dB.
