    I have this amp and need to replace the fuses, but I don't know what kind I need to replace them. What do I need to purchase?

  • minchnk Mar 27, 2009

    My Peavey Bandit 112 is less than a year old and it already stopped working. When I flip on the power switch, the light turns on and I can hear the speaker on and ready to make noise, but I get no sound when I use any of my three guitars. If I crank the volume all the way up, I can very faintly almost hear my guitar. I don't ever take my amp out of my room and never turn the volume up loud hardly ever. I do have a chain of pedals which are each power by a plug. Is this something I can fix myself? Thanks!

Fishfool67,
 If it is like the one I just fixed, the sound had just disappeared gradually when playing. To fix this one first and foremost unplug the unit. Remove the two top side rear bumpers, the 2 screws on the upper back metal ledge, you can feel them if you run your hand along this lip and locate, then remove the 2 wires connected to the speaker, ( just connector clips). Remove the power plug clip(one screw) then the 4 top side screws, I like to hold tray up with one hand and unscrew with the other. once these screws are all the way out the tray should drop down a bit. Just slide to the rear and rest it on the lower part of the cabinet. The return 1/4" jack is the dirty one that needs addressed but why not do all of the jacks while we are here. You will need a contact cleaner solvent. I use one designed to be used on printed circuit boards. You should be able to find some at your local electronics store. The cleaner should leave no residue after it has evaporated, check the cleaner you have and make sure it is the correct stuff. Next we will spray all of the 1/4" jacks, just spray enough to coat them good, let dry and repeat. them reassemble the amp and plug and play. Don't forget to reattach the speakers. This should fix your problem.

I had this problem with a bandit I just bought. I think the problem was the effects send/return jacks being a bit sticky. give them a clean, or for a quick fix plug a patch lead from the "send" jack straight back into the "return" jack!

First unplug amp to avoid electric shock. Then carefully unplug speaker and reverb wires. Then take the 4 screws out of the top of the case. This will allow the box, housing the electrical components to drop down.Slide the box out through the back of the case and look for 3 glass tube fuses.Check each of these to see if the filament inside isn't broken or burnt into. May not solve your problem but at least it's a place to start troubleshooting.

Can you repair a tear in a peavey guitar amp and will it affect the sound

I have to assume you're really meaning a tear in the speaker cone. If so, yes you can repair it if it's small and yes, it will affect the sound. Peavey Bandit amps have come with a few different speakers over the life of the name, but all will still be available either online or directly from Peavey's parts department. Here's the link-

Peavey bandit 112

have you tried using a foot pedal? Are you sure it is switching (green light turns red, etc?). On the lead channel are you turning up the gain all the way and the volume down?

I NEED TO REPALCE THE TRANSFORMER FRO MY BANDIT 112.

It is unlikely the transformer is bad, Some of these have a thermal fuse in the windings. Usually failed components overload the power supply and blow the main fuse.

I'm trying to get a crunchy metal sound from my peavey 112 bandit. What should I set my controls to?

Overdrive is the key to the crunchy metal sound. The only effect on that amp is reverb.
You may want to consider getting an overdrive pedal to get the sound you want.

Distortion on the lead channel is not working

The intergrated circuit is most likely gone out. Not much you can do, cost in repair is more than the amp. Check out the peavey vypyr, it's a great modeling amp for about $100.
