Great Score Jason!
Congratulations!
That silver stripe was my first good amp. Still got it albeit it’s in a bit of a state of disrepair unforunetley. I was having trouble with scratchy pots and felt I needed to take it apart to get to the pots better for introducing deoxit. Well, one of the knobs wouldn’t come off. In pulling hard on it it did come off. It also pulled the shaft out of the wiper I assume. That knob don’t do anything now other than spin 360*. Bummer for me.
Good thing for me is that the bum knob is on channel 2. Being a 2 channel amp, the clean channel still works as it’s supposed to. It also happens that’s where I play it most. On the clean channel. So all is not lost for me.
Man, yer gonna have some fun with that. Playing a bandit just makes ya wanna play some more bandit imho. They sound that good.
Looks like yer new used amp is in very good condition too. Man, ya did really good.
I see yer plugged into high gain input.
Plugging into input 2 was one of my first discovery’s on this amp. Something to try and tame it a bit.
I play input 2, usually clean channel @ .5-1.5 on the volume. Then turn my guitar down. Then I’m at volumes that the wife won’t get on my case. When she ain’t home. All bets are off.
Looks like yer t-dynamics is set right (imho) too. 10% is most tube like tones. And behaviors. On mine, get it up to about 3 and it starts to get natural breakup. tdynamics @ 10%. On the clean channel.
I’ve not played a teal stripe. From the youtubes of it. I think I’m ok with the silver stripe. imho, again from youtubes, the silver stripe sounds better than the teal.
Agreed! Bandits have a stellar reverb on them.
Absolutely versatile!
Put your tdynamic on 100%. It’ll stay clean up to about… 10… 
That volume will blow ya away, literally. Ya can feel the air moving from it.
And it does the opposite end of the spectrum too. I think near hair metal tones. Total distortion. All by itself. No pedals required. Plus anything ya can dream up in between clean and full hair metal.
Oh, if ya use any ambient effects. Like delay. Try them in the loop. The loop on bandits work very good too.
So happy for you. imho, ya’ve made a great discovery. If ya ain’t played a bandit. Ya don’t understand.
I’ve got tube amps at my disposal. They sound great. But then again. There’s days that I play my bandit over the tube amps. It’s that good.
Like yesterday. I played the bandit over the tube amps.
While I love the clean channel, I was trying the lead channel yesterday. I generally don’t go there. I was getting some real sweet overdrive at kinda low volumes. It was sounding lushish! And not a pedal in use. Granted I only got two. Tremolo and delay. But they were off.
Man, hope ya love yer new bandit as much as I do.
They really are the cats meow. They were ahead of their time in design. They just sound like Rock and Roll!
Congratulations again!
