Because it'll sound terrible with an hm2
You know, if they came packed with an IR of that rat-awful speaker in the teal stripe combos, they could make a killing with the Swedish chainsaw brigade for direct recording. Granted, direct may sound just about the same anyway.
Peavey to release IR packs of Sheffield and Scorpion speakers next hahaha
More guitars than anyone could need
—————
Metropoulos Metroplex Mk I
Egnater Seminar Amp 50
Orange Rockerverb 50 Mk III
Peavey 5150
Fender 1976 Vibrolux Reverb
—————
Marshall 1960A G12M25 Greenbacks
Metropoulos Slant 2x12 G12H75 Creambacks.
I think this was Peavey's original marketing point. In Mississippi-speak, it was followed by: "they're cheap, they're not too big or heavy, they take a beating and hold my beer while I jump this with my dirtbike."
My son still has my old Bandit Solo 65 that I bought used for $90 a year or two into playing. It has been through it over the years. It quite literally fell out of the back of my pickup truck at highway speeds in 2000. It actually sounded better afterward as the reverb started working again. It sounded like dog turd for the most part but it was what I had. I have given away twice and it keeps finding its way home. I eventually threw an old Celestion Seventy-80 speaker in it and was astonished when it sounded 100x better. The old scorpion speakers were just horrible. Kind of makes me want to put a greenback or G12H30 in it to see how it sounds.
A friend of mine had the teal stripe and the transtube silver trimmed version and I have been able to get them to sound pretty close to my rockmaster with similar settings and the gain about 1 o'clock. My favorite Bandit though was the red stripe from the early 2000s. It sounded really good for what it was.
Very short clips of a few of them. Appears they are running into a "Peavey Musician," which I guess is a new amp with two "channels." The pedals appear to be run into the second "channel," which according to the rep, is line level and more or less plugging straight into the power amp with I believe a volume knob.

I still use my Pro Studio 112 Red Stripe, the Bandit's baby brudder, quite a bit. It's got a Swamp Thang in it. The original speaker sounded like assholes being filtered through a hi-pass around 5k.
That video makes the pedal sound OK, but in all honesty, all the pedals sounded about the same through my living room speakers.

I do like that they made them look similar to the amps, but I have never heard anyone say "man I wish there was a pedal that sounded like a peavey bandit"
Someone on hcaf used to call it a shitdit.
Then, someone else was like, “shouldn’t it be a ‘banshit’?”
