Re: Peavey Transtube Bandit 112 drive boost
I dont think the boost will work quite the same as a tube amp since there are no tubes to overdrive. The gain portion of the pedal should add some more grit, but it wont be much. Those pedals arent designed to do that. For an amp like that, I would just invest in a decent distortion pedal if more gain or different tone capabilities is what you are after.

Re: Peavey Transtube Bandit 112 drive boost
Sounds dangerously close to marketing hype. Ive never ran into a bandit that sounded good in a band situation.
Even if it does sound like a tube amp (which i greatly disagree on) its not a tube amp so in that sense the way its going to react to pedals will still be in the way that transistor amps do.

Re: Peavey Transtube Bandit 112 drive boost
bandits are okay. They work well, last for years etc. Good Bang for buck. Good players can even sound good using them. And yeah you can drive the clipping stage to clip a bit harder with an overdrive pedal. Its no different to running a ts into a ds1, ot running two ts pedals in a chain. So yeah, you can hit the preamp a bit harder with a boost or overdrive no problem at all.
....dunno about emulating a tube amp tho...
