Peavey Bandit Supreme Teal Stripe Preamp

The Peavey Bandit Preamp Pedal captures the raw, unmistakable tone of the legendary lead channel found in the second-generation Bandit 112 and Supreme 160 “Teal Stripe” amplifiers. This faithful amp-in-a-box delivers the punchy, saturated sound that made these 1990s amps a favorite among players seeking bold, unpolished distortion.

 

Specifications

 

With Pre and Post Gain controls, Gain Boost and Mid Shift switches, and a powerful 3-band active EQ (Bottom, Body, Edge), the Bandit Supreme Preamp Pedal offers a wide tonal range—from tight crunch to thick, harmonically rich distortion. Each EQ band provides up to ±15dB of control, letting you dial in your tone with surgical precision.

 

Powered internally at 18V from a standard 9V input, it delivers amp-like headroom, fast response, and low noise. Built with Peavey’s TransTube® technology, hard bypass with anti-click switching, and tested for global compliance, the Bandit Preamp Pedal brings a piece of Peavey history straight to your pedalboard.

 

The Bandit Preamp pedal belongs to the Peavey Legacy Preamp Series, which features miniaturizations of iconic Peavey amplifiers that have become highly sought after in recent years. While others have tried to capture these tones, only Peavey can deliver the genuine article. Each pedal is built with premium components inside a rugged die-cast enclosure, from the high-quality pots and switches to the fiberglass PCBs with 2-ounce copper and plated-through holes. Every control and cosmetic detail reflects the original amps, while the sounds stay true to their legendary tone... without the weight. With output levels adjustable for both instrument and line-level applications, the Bandit Supreme Preamp is as flexible as it is faithful.

 

Rooted in history, built for now, the Bandit Supreme Preamp pedal carries the same spirit of innovation that defined the original, reborn for a new generation of players.
