Peavey Bandit Supreme Teal Stripe Preamp
Peavey · pedal
The Peavey Bandit Supreme Preamp Pedal captures the versatile, tenacious solid-state tone of the classic Peavey Bandit amplifier that powered countless 1990s rock and alternative recordings. In pedal form it offers the Bandit's punchy, aggressive solid-state grit and flexible EQ, designed to push the front end of an amplifier, run into a power amp with speakers, or connect to a speaker emulator for direct use. It delivers clean-to-crunch and saturated drive voicings with the tight, cutting character the Bandit is known for. It suits players wanting affordable, road-tested solid-state rock and alternative tones in a compact preamp, offering a characterful drive and tone-shaping platform rather than a transparent or boutique-voiced overdrive.
