lovekraft Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 This is just a wild guess, but knowing Peavey, and considering the amp's age, I'd check to see if the jacks and/or pots need cleaning. I don't have a schematic for that amp, but a cruddy switching jack or a dirty pot would be par for the course. You might also check for any loose components on the boards ( with the amp turned off, please) - the build quality on Peavey's solid state stuff is widely variable, so a bad solder joint or loose wire isn't out of the question. Or I could be completely out to lunch! You can contact Peavey for more specific advice - they've always been friendly and fairly helpful in my experience. If he's still there, Max in service is a wizard and knows those amps backwards and forwards. Be sure to get the numbers off the amp, they've made several different versions of the Bandit 112.

Patrik Jakobsson Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Hi, I have the same Peavey Amp with the same problem. Did you manage to solve it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
