I was in my local store today and found two Peavy's on consignment.
First is a Bandit 112. "90s version, 200W, 'Scorpion equipped'"
Second is a Session 400, 1x15 combo
Here are some pics.
These are not mine. And THIS IS NOT AN OFFER FOR A SALE. But if anyone is interested, I will put you in touch with the music store and you can negotiate. (The Session is definitely negotiable). AND they ship.
If I have violated any forum policies, please let me know, and I will move these to the appropriate place.
This is for informational purposes only. I have no stake in this whatever. I thought I would pass it on as information for y'all.

Hi Don,
The Bandit 112 is really an 80 watt amp.
The 200w on the tag is the power consumption.
Link to owners manual for any interested parties: https://peavey.com/manuals/80301112.pdf

John, I sold high end audio equipment back in the 70s. There are so many ways to advertise "watts" that it would make a head spin, Nonetheless, it matters to me not at all.
If someone is interested in these amps, I will point in the right direction.

"Cheap" is a relative term.
I don't consider the prices on these items posted as cheap.
But a lot depends on where you live and/or if you consider the insane prices out there since Covid.
Disclaimer: The following are pre-Covid stuck in a time warp pre-shortage madness prices.
Bandit: Cheapest I ever saw on CL was $35.
I used to see them all of the time for less than $100.
Studio Pro 40: $25. Pots needed cleaning.
Studio Pro 50: $35. Pots needed cleaning.
IMO, for all intents and purposes, the Bandit and SP40 and SP50 and Special 130 are basically equivalent for 6 string. They all have plenty of power except for the loudest bands at the loudest gigs.
I have said this before: At these pre-Covid prices there is NO EXCUSE for not having one as a back up.
For the price of a set of strings and a guitar cord (BOTH of which you should have anyway) you have a backup amp incase the guitar or keys or even bass players' amp goes down. |

FYI, the Session 400 has a 15" Black Widow.

Don, I'm in VT. I see you are in NH.
Seems like I could drive there and pick up the Session 400?
Pm me with the address if you don't mind. |
