Definitely one of the better non valve amps.
Downside,it was obviously built down to a price point.
Sounded good,a friend still has it n`all.

Mine took a Rat pedal well on the clean channel and even when added to the overdrive channel. IIRC, my footswitch allowed me to mix both channels, which I preferred. It was a good funk amp!
I never thought them valve-like, but I never experienced them being raspy or harsh at gig levels and in the 80s, it wasn't uncommon to see these on a stage and sometimes being plugged into by session or touring guitarists when they played down the local.
My bandit is knocking on for 15-20 years old, and I don't know whether it should see a tech or not. It sounds great though, I'm just worried it'll explode

the general construction of the chassis etc seemed weak imho.
I still considered it to be a good amp,despite the above observations.It still does sterling service at band rehearsals etc
As I said this was one of the later production run amps,not a furry one !
The later amps are a very different animal - I've had two of them (a Sessionette and a 'The Punk') and they sound very different to the early ones.
