Development
The very first Bandit was introduced in 1980; it was a solid-state amplifier with a power rating of 50 watts RMS. Like all subsequent Bandits, it came equipped with a 12" speaker. The solid-state amp gained power throughout the eighties and nineties, and ended at 112 Watts.
In the mid-nineties, Peavey began making the Bandit as part of their TransTube series, a solid-state technology aimed at emulating the sound of tube amplifiers.
