Hi Shane. I am an amp repairer in Sydney. I have a Tech 21 on the bench at the moment. They have an inherent cost-saving design flaw. The heat sink is minimal and inside the amp chassis with little air flow. You can probably guess the rest. At gigs it overheats and the thermal protection shuts it down. Run cool air over it and its a nice amp. ALL amps are built to a price. Its just where did they shave their savings.

After touring for 25 years, I've found that solid state amps were more reliable. This is very helpful. Nothing is worse than having to run across a town you're not familiar with to get a backup set of tubes because they couldn't survive the trip from gig to gig. It only had to happen once before we all went solid state... For touring.

Without a pedal the Peavey Bandit sounds flat to me especially when clean sounds are concerned. Just add power scaling to a simple DIY 5F1 valve amp ( only 3 tubes) and it beats a Bandit 112 hands down whether clean or dirty provided the output is on a good 12" cab.

The problem with excluding amps like the mustang/katana/marshall code amps is that having those effects built in is a HUGE reason to pick them for gigging as you can downsize your pedal board, cabling, etc for a faster setup/teardown. It's the main reason I've switch to a Katana artist. It's an easy grab and go package with a simple pedalboard, covers the whole gamut of sounds and (in my opinion) sounds significantly better than the Code and Mustang, vox, etc. I've gigged quite a bit with my kemper and floor controller as well and while the tone from it is amazing, it makes me nervous having over 3 grand worth of gear (not including guitars) on stage at dirty bars and you still need a FRFR/floor monitor on stage to get some stage fill volume.

Your list is pretty spot on, Shane! I've been working my Tech 21 for well over 5 years now and it's been exceptional. A couple of interesting little side notes, if I may...it has a SansAmp built into it with an XLR out so basically a built in DI. I don't ever have to mic it, I just run an XLR to the board! I know, weird concept for a guitar rig, but it works fantastically well. Another really nice feature is the footswitch. It switches channels, yes, but also kicks on your boost and toggles your effects loop. One of the weirdest foot switches I've come across as it uses just an ordinary guitar cable, but it's rock solid. You're right about it when it comes to volume in a hot situation, but most of my gigs are blues or jazz so I've never topped out. Hey, while you're toodling around fooling with solid states, I recently picked up an unlikely backup unit for gigging. Never had an issue with the Tech 21, but they're really hard to find (always sold out) so I'm a little more careful where I haul it. Anyhow, I got a deal on a Hughes and Kettner 'Edition Blue 60'. Weirdest name ever! Hughes was never on my radar, but my buddy swears by them. The little single 12 Hughes has got some serious chops!!! All analog, spring reverb, and certainly no slouch in a blues setting...check it out if you come across one...they're easy to miss. Carry on, good sir!

Exactly, most quality solid state amps vs tube amps cannot be picked out in a blind test. There are tons of videos online where people get blindfolded and swear they can pick out tube sound vs solid state and they get it wrong most of the time. Solid state has come a long way in the last 20 years. You just can’t tell the difference when you aren’t looking at them and I’m keen on saving money so I’ll buy a 400 solid state over a 1600 tube anyway. At the end of the day my mediocre playing makes either amp sound mediocre lol

I have a Peavey Bandit from 1983. It’s a little heavy but it has a real spring reverb tank inside and I love it so much. I play rhythm guitar and sing in my band, and combined with my Fender Standard Tele (usually on bridge or both pickups) it just cuts right through the mix. I also use effects with it like overdrive, compressor, and a Boss multi effects, and it’s takes them magnificently. What a dream to play. It’s 50 Watt output also proves that numbers don’t mean everything. I simply love it.

Back in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s, solid state amps weren’t very good at all. They were okay for strictly clean sound, but no one seemed to want that. Today’s solid state amps sound extremely good! No comparison to the junk we used in the 80’s. Plus they’re loaded with features and are extremely lightweight. Great grab and go amp to small gigs. I own a couple.

I am not sure if you are familiar with or not but Moog built a solid state guitar amp back in the late 70’s early 80’s called Lab Series. These were all SS technology and if you can still find either the 2 x 12 (L5 model) or the 1 x 15 (L9 model) you would be hard pressed to find a better tone out of a solid state amp. You can still get them for a good price. BB King, Ty Tabor of King’s x, Alan Holdsworth, Ray Flacke all swore by them.

I gig with a solid state fender stage 1600. Awesome amp . Lightweight and has 3 channels, in built tuner , effects , reverb , and I never run it past 4 on the clean channel and 6 on the distorted / lead channel . So understated. It also has an effects loop and I’ve fogged with it for 12 years ! Played to fifty to 2 thousand people with it and it has a di on it to put through a PA system . All this debate over solid state and tubes is all down to what music you are playing and what you feel comfortable with . I love it ! I’ve bought two ! You have to get every amp serviced but if you keep it clean and buy some electrically cleaner you will be fine .

Great selection...I'd like to add one in the "honorable mention" category, the mid to late 80s Marshall Lead 100 Mosfet. If your gig demands that classic JCM800 tone but you don't have two grand to drop on your amp, the Lead 100 Mosfet will give you the most beautiful approximation of that classic sound, tied with a fantastic clean channel and a great spring reverb. Best part is, you can grab these for $200 all day long! Pair it with your fave cab and you are ready to go! A little history on the Peavey Bandit too. Back in the late 80s/early 90s, just about everyone who crawled the South Jersey music scene had two rigs...their huge, heavy af overpowered half/full stack that they used for those gigs where what it looked like was more important than what it sounded like, and for the times when it needed to sound great they all had a Peavey Bandit, which many of them upgraded with an EV G12 speaker...made those little beasts into true full stack killers that would keep up with the best PA systems of the day on their own, even when run with crystal clear cleans!

I own a Bugera V22 to a Fender Champion 100 all the way to my trusty old cat amp…my Line6 Spider II that I use for a pedal platform. Surprisingly, with a Klon, the Line6 sounds amazing and it’s powerful enough to gig with. I’m not a gear snob, if it gets the job done…I’ll use it. My wife picked out the Bugera for its tone and beauty. She just simply loves the way it sounds, so that’s important. Seeing as how she’s my better half and the lead singer in my band, her input is important. I love my solid state stuff just the same. My Champion 100 is growing on me by the day.

Awesome review!!! 🖤 Playing over 25 years, had many amps,had a Bandit myself 20 years ago, and still have my Fender 112, and recently went regular solid state for my bedroom. I got a 50W Tube amp in my living room for my main playing. But downstairs in my Jam room with drums etc. I still stick to my solidstate Fender 112, Loud,dependable and sounds just great. In my bedroom i had a Line 6 spider IV 15 watts for a few years, couldn't stand it no more. So was shopping for a low watt lunchbox practice amp for my bedroom. All them modern amps are digital, even non modeling amps are...and suck!. spent hours trying out most popular models. Bought a Fender Mustang V2... Next day i returned it. So I went down the same road as you. I ended up with a solidstate 1993 Peavey Studio Chorus 210 2 10" stereo independant speakers.From the last Peavey series made in USA i beleive. Man! Love it!. Those regular solidstate amps are underestimated. Thanks for shining a light on them🤘😎

Just bought a Roland JC-40 - best amp I've ever had. Over thirty years, I've had three Fender solid state (including the dual speaker Ultra Chorus, which I liked) and a Blues Jr. 15w tube amp (tubes can be a pain) - been there, done that. I kept my Peavey Envoy w/10" speaker - lightweight, sounds good, nice practice amp for hauling around. But the Roland JC-40 has the a pristine clean sound (not at all sterile), the chorus is "heavenly" and, if you like effects pedals, it's a great platform. I don't use the on-board Distortion (eh), but the Vibrato is very much "Tom Petty-esque". This amp is worth every penny I paid...

I have a Fender Deluxe 112 Plus and use a ZOOM G7.1ut Guitar Effects Console with it. The console incorporates a 12AX7 tube to create the tube "warmth" which many guitarists consider the Holy Grail of tone. The tube tone is adjustable. The Deluxe 112 Plus was created to emulate the sound of valve amps despite the fact that it is SS. The combo of the 2 yields a tone to die for. The amp can be unbelievably LOUD, if necessary, boosted by the preamp in the console.

The master volume on the amp sounds the same from level 2 all the way up to around 7 or 8 then the speaker itself adds breakup in a good way. Try out some Quilter amps!

I currently own a Fender Deluxe 90 made in Mexico, packed with a British Celestion G12T and spring reverb, which as far as I know is practically the same as the Deluxe 112 (but with different speaker, no Contour knob and MIM). I've owned the Deluxe 90 for a year or so, and let me tell you this amp is just AWESOME. I've had the chance to compare it with the Roland JC and I would choose the Fender a thousand times with my eyes closed. Throw some TS on front of the drive channel with a low gain setting and you'll get all the punch, warmth and responsivity you'll need to play any kind of rock :) I'm so satisfied with it, I just took it to the studio where I'm currently recording with my band: it didn't disappoint me. All of this is just to say, to all of those tube-snobs out there, that a good amplifier is not defined by the technology it uses (digital emulation, analog solid state or tubes), but by a good sound. Sounds good, it's good. It might have the best tubes in the market, but if it doesn't work for you and your sound, it will always be trash to your ears.

I have the quilter Micropro Mach 2 HD (HD being the 12 neo speaker). I really enjoy it. I have heard a few people say Quilters are a little difficult to dial in, though that hasn't really been the case for me. I don't really play blues primarily or even rock though I do those things. I find that the Micropro is really versatile and I get a ton of different sounds out of the amp and it has a lot of different characteristics. I use a lot of FX and a lot of octave based FX and the speaker seems to keep things sounding very rich no matter what is going on. The EQ section is also very powerful, I used to use a 10 band EQ on my board but since I got the micropro I find that I can easily dial in things for the context of what I'm doing.

There's loads of great solid state amps, you can get them really cheap and they last forever. More importantly, they are consistent at any volume, which is hugely important. Valve amps are next to useless without attenuators to bring them under control, also they weigh too much and break too easily. If you are touring and playing most nights on small to medium sized stages with limited space and limited soundcheck time and no tech time then you'd be INSANE to choose a valve amp over a decent solid state. Whenever I hear people bleating on about valve amps I just dismiss them as unprofessional. I use both, run together (a Fender Twin and a Carlsbro Stingray Super), but if I had to downsize for one show, which happens occasionally, I'd always use the solid state over the valve. Experience has brought me to that conclusion. Also, most guitarists will never experience the joy of playing through a Vermona Regent or a HH or a Fal Super100 just because they are stuck up about valves. You're missing out.

The best solid state guitar amp is the FET based 1976 *AMPEG* *G110* . Warm clean to 'pick attack' punchy, warm crunch. Loud! I'm was a tube purist until one day while walking home sat this very clean G110 on the sidewalk marked 'FREE''. I figured I'd be repairing it, but to my amazement it worked perfectly! It's a full frequency, great bass, closed back, front ported model, has tremolo and incredibly sweet reverb. It is incredible for KIETH Richards riffs and rhythms. Also is the best acoustic guitar and Wurlitzer 120 electric piano amp!

I'd recommend old ss Marshalls from the 80's. I own Marshall Lead 20 and it's a killer amp. Plenty loud, it'll keep up with a drummer. There are others in this line that people are raving about ie. Master Lead 30 or 100Wat MOSFET.

I am 60 years old, so I was a young guy in the 80's when the Bandits came out. But due to peer pressure I stayed clear of them and Peavey in general. Now I don't give a $hit what anyone thinks. I use my ears (not my eyes, to see what brand it is, and if it's expensive). I now own a Peavey Bandit and a few other Peavey amps. So far I haven't come across a bad Peavey amp to date.

My ZT Lunchbox puts out 100wRMS via internal speaker (half the size of the Victory 'with' a speaker inside) and another 100wRMS via external cabinet (handles ANY 8ohm cabinet) ... Total 200wRMS + cabinet... drowning out 100w heads... the small light amp is perfect for travel with a Vox Fx Starstream guitar, or any guitar + a modelling pedalboard (like my Line 6 POD 500X HD)... and it's actually the size of a kids lunchbox!

I'll take the Tech 21 Trademark 60 over all the other amps. Simply because you can use the direct line output to another amp or direct to a sound board and get the same tone. Besides I've yet to find a bass player with the same power on a single 15 or a drummer who plays loud to keep up with this single 12 celestion.

I used a Fender Yale Reverb for years for gigs and it more than held it's own alongside tube amps. Fantastic cleans and it takes every pedal I throw at it. I've still got it along with an Old Princeton SS - but the Yale Reverb is the better of the two amps. It's also perfect in a wet dry setup which I did for a while too. I haven't played for years but now I'm going to have to dig it out. Great video!

Nice vid, thnx. Been playing Marshall MG series for about 15 years. They get a bad rap, but I've got no complaints - great versatility, clean, crunch, through to death- and/or nu-metal-type tones and with LINE OUT, no need for mic'ing, just DI into the desk. Great range of amps, especially the head-only versions - you can then mix and match with whatever cabs you want. I use two 100W versions in a stereo config, each with a Marshall 1936 stereo 2 x 12 cab. Loud AF if you need it and you can pick them up cheap as chips on eBay. Only flaw seems to be the unreliable fans, but they can be replaced quite cheap. I use external OD/DIST pedals to set up the dynamic range I need on the guitar volume knob, don't use compression for live gigging and personally, I don't buy into the "biased tubes" method of getting tone. There ARE other ways, if people are only prepared to get their head out of their backside to bother looking. Your vid should help persuade them :-). Thought I'd have to replace the MGs recently and checked the Roland CUBE 80X. Didn't need to as it happens, but they're also great amps - get a +1 from me.

I had a Fender Deluxe VM that was all tube and super loud but didn't like the lead channel and it weighed like 40 pounds. I then got a hybrid Vox amp with like a tube in the power section I think. Didn't like the sound of that, so then I grabbed up the modern Bandit on clearance and boy does it roar. I got the sounds I wanted as soon as I plugged in. Definitely the best low cost gigging combo you can get.

The peavey bandit red stripe even blows away most tube amps. Best and most versatile amp I've ever used. I've been buying amps since around 1978. But if you buy one today the spring reverb probably won't work and replacing it won't fix the problem. But a reverb pedal fills in nicely.
