kinda hard to argue with a $20 price tag. Peavey makes respectable equipment. enjoy it.

I've got an older one of these and it's a great amp. $20 is a steal.

You got a steal. My son has the Bandit 112, not exactly the same - we hunted for one for awhile, between old and new - sort of the intermediate years, and you'll see a lot of them. They can blow speakers, that Blue Marvel, just replace with your choice, a Black Widow or Celestion 30, or Seventy 80. After he loaned it out while using my Super 60, we had the whole thing apart and cleaned it, or refurbished it back to new. I find the circuitry to be a little minimalist or simplistic, not a lot in terms of really good components or workmanship, so they are are good and stardard IMO, but that's okay. :wink:

It is definitely one of the better workhorse amps out there. They are easy enough to carry, and can get loud (but watch that speaker, or just sacrifice it and replace). It seems that everybody likes them, and that's why they are all around. :D
