Peavey Studio Pro 112 Amplifier - The Red Stripe Version

- This is the Peavey Studio Pro 112 amplifier with the red stripe along the front. If you know my channel, you'll know I am a huge fan of the red stripe amplifiers from Peavey. I think they are some of the best amplifiers that Peavey have ever made and this Studio Pro 112 amplifier is no exception. I am recording this amplifier with a Rode NT2a microphone and a SM57 mic.

I grew up playing on this bought it when it was new in 2002. Other than 1 knob that busted off during moving this amp is amazing. Nothing beats that dialed in metal tone . For anyone who's interested. Dial the mids down and switch to distortion in lead channel . Switch mids scouped out at zero . High to 10 bass to 6or7 the presence to max . That sound is similar to Mesa boogie old school Metallica tone👌👌🤘👽🤘
I gave 40 bucks and half a joint for my transtube 112 efx with the footswitch. I've had it for years,it still plays great.
You got ripped off, I got mine for o$ and two joints, last week.
I've had this amp for 15 years. I've got Mesa, Marshall and higher end Peavey stuff that i use in the studio, but there is something about the juicy sound of this little amp that none of the others bring to the mix when i need that bump. Can't explain it, but its got juicy juice.
These amps have a very rich, warm and punchy sound. They sound very rocker and great in the mix.
IMO, best solid state amps you can get. I even prefer it over many full tube amps.
Really digging the sound of these amps. I am currently playing with a 1 Watt Marshall to get good tube tone but it seems to change day to day and I am thinking solid state could be good. Can the Bandit be played at low volume and still have a good lead tone? ( like a really loud TV)
This was my first real amp, back in about 2003. I played it in bands and used it for recording. I got great sounds out of it with a Les Paul and a Strat. It eventually burned out. I took it to a tech, but they told me it wasn't worth fixing. I recently found one for $60 US. Still sounds great, and I'm happy to have it again.
Funny...most of these posts are 1 or 2 years old...and the amp could be found rather cheap. Not now!! Shane...you made these so popular finding an affordable one is challenging!!
I have the delta logo, USA-made red stripe SP112, and for me it ticks all the boxes for a combo amp. I sold my Blues Junior the same week I bought my SP. The SP has a much fuller sound, especially on stage.
0.) Great tone, and very versatile gain
1.) Great for gigs and/or home
2.) Not too small, not too big/heavy
3.) Rugged, with front-mounted, easy-to-read controls that tilt up (I hate the shiny knobs that Peavey uses these days)
4.) Red stripes look cool
5.) You can pick these up for less than $200 (usually, way less)
I have a Bandit and yesterday i've purchased a Envoy, both Red Stripe and I LOVE THEM!
The next...the Studio Pro, in the past i have one and be great amp
I've had this amp for about 17 years now and love it. Never failed me.
I am a fanatic of this peavey red line. I previously owned a bandit 112 ... I sold it because it weighed a lot ... but I missed it so much. So I saw the opportunity to buy a Peavey Studio Pro and I am very happy. Same tone as the bandit i weighs 5 kgs less .
Very powerful amp. ..specially the lead vintage channel..good for classic rock. thanks Shane for recognizing ths amp..very proud owner of one.
Bought a fairly mint one of these a few months ago for less than $200 NZ. Haven't used any of my other (mostly tube) amps since. Incredibly versatile, good FX loop, takes pedal well.
Picked one up for 25.00 and gigged with it last weekend and loved it.
Wtf..25 ?
I just bought one of these! Got for dirt cheap! I can't wait to play! I fell in love with the clean lead channel
This was my first real amp when I was 13 years old. I've been playing guitar for 12 years now, I still have that amp.
Just bought one about 2 months ago, an awesome little amp, and yes, very loud for size. Love it for Texas Blues and slide and great for rock.
This amp is sounds definitely great, this is the practice amp I use in church and the sound is definitely good especially when you added a gain!
i really wish they'd put a post gain on the clean channel of these amps. i'd sacrifice mids for it even. i guess i can do the FX loop trick but eh. if i want to use FX loop it gets messier.
These can be had in the US for a single Benjamin ($100) or less with no more than a quick Google search... These Peavey Transtube amps create vintage-Merlot tones on a fuel-station-beer budget, for sure. I spent the extra few bucks and jumped for the latest line of Bandit, and I can't stop playing it. If you haven't already, Shane, step on a Fulltone OCD in front of one of these... The tones are jaw-dropping, both on the clean and the lead channels.
merlot? that was cheesy bro
@@esticaandres3169 Im more of a shiraz kind of guy personally . The meaty undertones of a fine shiraz mirrors the characteristics of this beast of an amp
Yes!:D Thank you Shane I have a studio pro it's not the red stripe but it is so good very very loud !
Love those amps, I have the Envoy 110... and I love it
if you Peavey red stripe but can't play too loud the peavey envoy 110, 35,40 watt, also peavey rage 158 15 watt and the blazer 158 15 watt with reverb Red strip i have m'y eye on blazer right now! . thank's Shane!
I had one years ago, man, should of never got rid of mine. I didn't know what I have at the time. But, I do have a bandit. That one is a keeper. Cheers Shane.
Just got a SP 112 usa 2004 red stripe, block peavey nameplate, and no delta on grill, sounds great, and 9 lbs lighter than a bandit.
I bought this very amp used in '04 for $150. Played it mostly at home until a year later then used it in band rehearsals with a Zoom multi effect unit. Worked great. Bought Fender CT so that took the place of the Peavey for band use but still used it at home. Fave sound was the lead channel, high gain setting with the gain at about 2:00,,,Just right for 'buckers and the CDB's Funky Junkie. Moved to a smaller place a few years ago and some gear had to go. including the SP112,,,got $80.00 for it. I miss it (and the old place) all the time.
Owned mine for ages and its awesome, you can get much heavier tones out of it too
I actually found this exact amp in a dumpster. Only thing wrong with it was the speaker was dead. A co-worker gave me a spare Valve King speaker he had and it works wonderfully.
Picked one up today for 100 bucks! It’s pretty sweet. I like the reverb on it
Great clean Peavey tone.
Thanks for sharing Shane. Subbed and liked. I am actually playing through a Studio Pro 112 like you have, because my tube amp is in repair. Like you said, running it clean it takes pedals really well. I can get some good sounds out of it using my Friedman be-od pedal. I picked it up in a pawn shop years ago. And it has an actual spring reverb :).
I like the Peavey, but can't wait to get my tube amp back (mostly for the clean sounds). Cheers mate \m/
Cool amps. The Silver Stripes have a better overdrive channel. Red Stripes have a nicer clean. I used to run one of each in a stereo set-up.
Shane, the mid control on the red stripes is amazing. Gotta run that up around 3 oclock on modern clean channel imo
Just got one for $30 on Craiglist, just realized had a great deal!
Looking at one of these right now for 100 bucks, which is why I am here...LOL
Same lol
I remember when the peavey first became popular and there still great
Good commentary to the end, but I would have been able to actually experience the additional tone settings on the drive channel if you had recorded them, instead of just mentioning its versatility. Good video over all.. thanks.
I paid $150 for one back in '04. Loved it but was looking for some cash a few years late.r GC offered me $80 which seemed too low. A move forced me to sell stuff again. This time they offered me $40..00. Hate to say i took it.
. Great sounding as well as looking amp. Love the cab desigh.
I have one of these amps...the last of the USA made ones before they switched to overseas production. It's a great amp for practice ..as well as small club gigs. Not suited for Metal music...but for most everything else.
You put a metal zone in front of a piece of toast it'll play metal, what you on?
@@unklebill A piece of toast. Ha
Shane! We need more late night (mid day for Aussies?) streams. Kept me busy for an hour while while I did some work. Thanks!
Sure thing mate 😊
Bought one at a flea market for $60 bucks in mint condition.......I love the thing
Question....is this amp a two or three position footswitch?
Great amp. I swear your guitar sounds like a Fender Precision bass when you played that Aerosmith riff.
Hi Shane, not at least because of you I found one and bought one. I had a Blazer before and after I found my settings I liked it even more than my Blackstar HT5 10". I like how the Blazer is able to create this rumbling crunchy sound in the bass. But, it sounded a bit tinny. So I thought a 12" Studio Pro might create an equal sound but fatter. But know I realized that it takes pedals in a completely different way than any of my other amps if I plug them in front of the High Gain Channel. The Fuzz for example just creates a kind of overdrive effect instead of delivering a kind of Hendrix sound. So I would be interested to see, how you fead the Studio Pro with different kinds of pedals and also may be some sample EQ Settings on Lead-Modern or High Gain mode. Thanks.
Great video Shane, awesome channel
Just a quick props, Shane. Thanks for your videos! Enjoying all of the Peavey stuff, and I'm considering migrating back as well. My UA-cam has turned into the intheblues channel as of late...
Thanks for all the in-depth posts on Peavey red stripe amps. I bought my Studio Pro 112 back in 2001 (Made in USA) and have often thought of upgrading the stock Blue Marvel speaker. What would you recommend for clean and and crunchy blues tones? I play a Telecaster Blacktop (humbuckers). Cheers!
I replaced the blue marvel with an 8 ohm sheffield 1230. Much fuller sound, and really picks up the twang and spank from my telecasters.
Hey, from the same family there is a Peavey Envoy 110 Red Stripe Made in USA very good too. You should make a review on it.
Thanks
Deluxe Reverb IS a 6V6 amp. Blues Deluxe uses 6L6s.
It could work to play in garage?, sounds loud?
I've owned this amp for ten or so years. I like it, but I want to move on to another amp. I'll be selling this one soon. I'll post a link when I finally put it up for sell.
I changed my mind, I'm not selling this thing for nothing!!!
interesting there is one at the pawn shop right next door.
Another great vid...You mention you had the volume super loud but as it's not a valve amp surely this is not improving the tone? So why so loud? ... I bought the bandit red stripe after watching your vids. My Valve amp is now gathering dust, never thought I'd say that!!!
Hi. You know I'm from Argentina and looking for a Peavey amp transtube series to play hard rock or metal music.
Which one would you recomend?. I can play at loud volume cause I live quite far from anybody.
Great channel by the way. Thank you so much
Amp sounds good. The setup is a bit too bassy and lacking on the high end for my taste. Anyway, great review by Shane, just like always.
I took one of these in trade for another amp. I usually use Carvin...the Belair with the matching extra 2x12 and an older VT50 with the Carvin 4x10...all in gorgeous tweed. Lately it's also been a Blackstar Club 50 with a 2x12. I do a lot of duo and trio gigs along with my band and it's getting to the point that I don't want to carry the bigger stuff so at tonight's trio gig I'll bring the Peavey and throw an SM57 in front of it. The only issue I've seen with it is that it's very sensitive to bad power. The volume will fluctuate and the tube light will dim in and out but my power conditioner fixed that. The reverb tends to be a bit noisy too...almost like a spring that's bouncing around a bit but I run a Zoom G5 with all my effects so it'll just get shut off. We'll see. I'm not a fan of Peavey but I'm less of a fan of back pain.
Just ordered one!
I bought one of these because of this video and how awesome you made it sound. But couldn't get a good tone out of it. It seemed so muddy and dark compared to my fender frontman, which has really nice cleans. I guess maybe I'm just used to that sound now. Or I just suck and I'm trying to blame the amp for it. lol
Owned a frontman 212...now own a red stripe sp112. I find the clean channel in the peavey much more crisp and full vs the frontman. The dirty channel on the frontman is God awful- wrist slitting awful!
I play my peavey on the clean channel with a ts-808 clone (ultraharmonix east river drive) and I have great tone-much like a fender supersonic. Bought the amp for a hundred bucks.
I play in a Northern soul/60's garage band and have been looking for something clean but with character that will be ready to go when i am, this seems to tick all the boxes so i've got one winging it's way towards me as i type, i'll let you know how i get on with it and thank's again.
Great "little" amplifier!
Just got one of these for £50 can’t actually believe it cost me that when I was sat using it there.
Hey man, great demos!
Can you do a comparison between the red stripe bandit and the current version, so we can hear if they sound different, and how much...?
Thanks is advance!
Hi mate ive just scored a chinese made one i think same as the one you played 100 bucks havent picked it up yet itll go along next to my vox PF 15 love that amp have you reviewed one ??? Theyre great. Anyway can an acoustic be played through one of these studio pros someone said theres a button or something you can push on or off ????? Cheers mate and u rock with your reviews regards clarky
Hey Shane Just wanna say , had a problem with any Peavey Bandit . As long as you don't play Shred or Metal these amps will get the job done just fine . I have a Bandit 65 , it has the best Reverb I've heard in an amp period and lots of volume . Is the reverb in the red stripe footswitchable ? just wondering , thanks
Great tones. Question. You are standing in front of the Transtube setting. Where do you have the Transtube set? What sort of changes do you make to the Transtube setting to tweak your tone? Thanks.
Hello friend, congratulations for the video, could you tell me the code of the valve that is in this amplifier?
Shane, what EQ settings would you recommend for a cleanish blues tone on the clean channel? I find the SP's bass response rather flabby, is there a way to better the bass?
I love it! But is it loud enough to practice with a band or play gigs at small venues?
It is. The guitarist of my band has one, and it's well loud enough.
@@seitsen thanks mate!
Red Stripes are my favs xD love my bandit 112 :):):) and my crappy Rage 158 :D:D:D amazing videos :)
I got the Rage 158 too. You think the 8 inch speaker is the limiting factor?
Not at all, but I wish it had a little more gain. Good for practice tho.
Shane! I just found a studio pro 112 at guitar center for 119$ American . buy it?
A pawn shop near my house has one of these... I took a peek to see if it was a Bandit, but saw it wasn't and kept on going. They also have a Peavey XXL amp head. Any experience with them, Shane?
GET THE XXL!!! Best Solid State amp ever!! I have 2 of them. They have no trouble keeping up with a 5150 or TSL.
Do you have any experience with a Peavey Transtube Special 212?
Stephen Sommer I just bought an old one. Awesome And extremely loud
I'm looking at a Peavey Studio Pro 112 that does NOT have the red stripe. What's the difference?
Hi Shane, which speaker would you recommend if I want to upgrade the sound of my Studio Pro 112 Red Stripe in the lead channel with a new speaker to get more resolution and saturation in modern or high gain mode. Unlike my Blazer, the sound on the Pro always gets muddy when I connect distortion pedals to the lead channel and play power cords. Which of the following speakers would you prefer to eliminate this problem A) Eminence Man O War B) Eminence Red White and Blues or C) Warehouse Speaker ET 65, WGS ET 65? The goal is a Black Keys like modern growling blues Sound with the option to heavy overdrive sounds like Jack White. Would you say that's possible with the Pro and one of those speakers?
Is it safe to say that a SP 112 is better than a Bandit 112 if my primary goal is to get good tone while using pedals at a bedroom volume?
hi Shane, how well does this one take pedals?
Very well, Shane said so in the video.
And what about the red stripe Transtube 112 EFX? Is it like a Studio Pro with digital fx?
What's the best way to use headphones on this amp? It has no headphone port and I was looking at various audio interfaces but unsure if that would work.
is there even a difference between the pro and the bandit?
Maybe 80 watts vs 65 for SP, and no presence control? Doesn't look like much else.
I think Cabinet size too.
Mister Knight Owl I only own the Studio Pro, but the 'Red Stripe' Bandit has the following additional features:
100 watt power amplifier (80 watts into internal speaker) - SP is 65.
• Footswitchable effects loop
• Effects level switch
• Preamp output
• Power amp input
• Presence control
• Resonance switch
MEDium Studios - Confirmed - this amp is physically smaller (and lighter) then the Bandit. Same 12 inch speaker though.
I have owned them both (USA Red Stripe) and preferred the Studio Pro. The Bandit sounded somewhat boxy to me. The Studio Pro had more dynamics, especially the clean channel. They are both great amps and useful at home or on a small stage. Mine were all stock.
I've one of these. :)
Does it have a line out or has to have a mic?
Can I plug my Mitchell electric acoustic guitar into it
I got given this amp and a 1985 fender jaguar, trying to learn blues phrasing, how do I get a more bluesy tone?
isn't this version made in China? Just because it was designed in the US doesn't mean it was made there.
Doctor McFarland Studios They were made in the U.S. during the first few years of production.
could give your opinion on the peavey vypyr pro please
just bought one mint from a Facebook sell site for $25
in brazil is 1000R$, is the same that 200$ :/
Does these made in China ones came with Spring reverb?
Or it is digital
Chinese version has the same featurers than USA one (analog reverb tank by Accutronics).
@@KurtFuller Thanks, I understand that newer ones are all digital
What's the riff you're playing Shane? real familiar but can't remember
Walk This Way to start
How would the studio pro 112 handle an acoustic or bass sounds
Never knew Joe Biden made pickups, I like him even more now!
I had one & I love peavey but it was weak I sold it.
It's definitely not as loud or as big as the bandit 112 but it has a good place in a rig for a smaller venue. :-)
Have ever tried a Peavey vyper? Wow AxeFX for a song . Uses the same SHARC Chip for modeling as the AxeFX do Peavey's value turns many off I once had a peavy stack before the return of the Stacks lol it was very old maybe one of the 1st it had like 4 inputs so it was like aq Amp/PA. I have a 5150 w/both cabs w/the Sheffield. That's a Monster Amp crushes Marshalls w/ease. haha I've had guys $10.000 rigs come up after a show on a bill w/two or three bands & I'd always get asked how do you get that tone??? Finger & That Peavey was the answer I only ran a Wha & a Chorus. In the US people once were very down on ANY peavey amp it was like have knock off shoes as kid in school. But now you see more player's using Peavey thats why many couldn't Fathom this company they have trashed as long as they have played sounding as good & ofter much better than the Boutique amps… I had a blues band I recorded in my studio & the guitarist "special" amp died while laying down the Bass & Drum tracks I was using that guitar as a scratch I had just retubed the 5150 & it was Much quieter than stock but also more gain & better Clean Chn , well I asked do you wanna try tracking (the main tracks) w/the 5150 you could see the distain in his eyes so I plugged em in & dialed in a clean tone that was just breaking up I tell you that is some of the best guitar tracks I ever recorded & I bet no one would guess that was a 5150 producing those tones. He quickly forgot the gear & play everything almost 1st take he was in the Zone w/PV. Also their PA speakers & Amps are The Way to go i've seen some of the 1st CS-800 power amps still in use till this day!!! Their Speakers can also be easily changed out w/new cones as well as the Compression Drivers no other speaker company does that that I know of.
Say I find one. How much should I pay around for it? Or expect to pay.
Cameron Crowley I bought one for $25 but I'm not sure how much they are seen anywhere from $300 to $120
I bought my SP112 Red Stripe (built in USA) for $150. A few years back I bought one for $80, and sold it (like an idiot) during a GAS attack. The price really depends on the seller's gear snobbery level.
What is transtube technology?
It's Peavey's patented circuit that's designed to emulate not just the gain, but the compression characteristics of a tube amplifier.
How much gain does the amp have when the gain is at full ? Also how is the reverb and how much , tank or digital ?
The reverb is a tank, and pretty reasonable
Tanks , I mean thanks
my amp keeps cutting out
Porque solo en ingles sobre peabey 112 estudio pro.q.pasa
Anyone knows if there are any difference in sound between this model and the Silver Stripe model?
I own a red stripe SP, and I've played all versions from the Solo Series and newer. Once they got to the Transtube circuits, the sound is very similar across models, and any difference could just as likely be the differences in cabinets or speakers.
mw13068 p
sorry first reply was a mistake, I own the teal bandit and it does get very loud and sound very similar, bigger cabinet and heavy
I have a Studio Pro Silver Stripe.
Both sound very similar to me. They might have the same circuitry, and they also have the same speaker (Peavey Blue Marvel) and same tank reverb (Accutronics).
Biggest difference is that Silver Stripe version has no T-Dynamics control.
thumbs down for inadequate view of mic setup
I thought those amps were made in the US but I saw a made in china sticker on the back.
KassperT the silver stripe that I own was made in USA
Then either
1) I misread
b) Peavey moved production by that time or
3) Perhaps they had more than one manufacturing facility and folks on that side of the globe got them from China?
You read it well, they moved production from then on, starting with the red stripe model and the following Bandit I think. My Studio Pro 112 also have different logo, the Peavey with the sharp ends.
Red stripes were made in the USA as well as China, front panel will either say 'Designed and made in the USA' or just 'Designed in the USA' and have 'Made in China' on the back panel, I own and have worked on both and imo there is no differance but I dare say the USA will be more desirable to some.
My red stripe was made in usa
a Roland JC-40 is my choice
Interesting, I have one and think it sounds rubbish. Mine has the Blue Marvel speaker, as far as I can tell mine is 100% working, but just sounds terrible, harsh, to my ear it has no tone or warmth just plain harsh and cutting. I consider it landfill but before I do that I've decided to modify mine, it's easy to mod so watch this space. They sell for cheap in the UK, mine was £35 and now I know why! They are very loud though, they have a LM power output that does deliver and the PSU is big enough to serve up demands. I'm not really sure what the Transtube knob is supposed to do, mine seems to make little difference other than a small amount louder. Looking at the circuit, I can see what it's suposed to do (damping), there is something wrong here.
Great Man! Can You specify the year of production this model You play? And maybe the year of production of this one: muzyczny.pl/110070_Peavey-Studio-Pro-112-wzmacniacz-gitarowy.html
I have that one on my own and I don't know the history of Studio Pro 112. The Bandit's history is better known... Thanks for help :)
The red stripe has the Illuminati triangle on it so you it must be good.
