Curtis P Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I want to add a cab to my peavey bandit 112. Is this possible, if so, do I need to run a pre amp, if so, what one. Has anyone added a cab to a combo amp, if so, did you notice a big difference? Curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exafro Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I think there might be a jack on your amp that you could plug an external cab into. If not look in the back of the amp to see where the speaker connects, if it is a 1/4 plug you plug a cab into that. Be careful to match the ohms or you could have major problems. If I remember correctly when you connect a cab to that amp, the internal speaker shuts off, so you need atleast a 2X12 for it to make any noticeable difference.

Curtis P Posted January 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Ok, I will check my amp in the morning and see what i got. Thanks! Curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exafro Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) Just got this from the peavey website "TransTube® does make a difference. Plenty of punch from 80 watts (rms) runs through a bold 12 inch Sheffield® 1230 speaker while an external speaker jack lets you connect to a bigger cab if necessary." And apparently you can run it at either 4 or 8 ohms. This is real important by the way: USE SPEAKER CABLE NOT A GUITAR CABLE! Sorry for yelling but I had to get the point across, its cheap so if your buying a cab from a store just tack on another $20 for the right cable.

Curtis P Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 My amp has the Scorpion speaker, not the Sheffeild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exafro Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Do you have an older amp? That was straight from the Peavey site under Bandit 112. Did you figure it out anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
