Hi. i own a Peavey Banit 112s. i think its from the late 90s. Its got one 12" Sheffield speaker and its a solid state amp. My problem is that the amp has no tone at all!!! its sounds so sterile. the only reason i kept it over a line 6 spider 2 and a laney mxd212 was because it was better than both of them at higher volumes.

I need a small 50watt - 150watt amplifier that doesn't cost loads. I think solid state is all i am after for now. an amp with a good onboard distortion would be nice although i do own a boss metal zone pedal.

i just want an amp that sounds better than it should for a cheap price. I play mostly metal but would like a nice clean channel too. I play in a band now and again but never gig.

I am after tone!! the best that cheap solidstate has to offer anyway. thanks

ditch the metal zone. It's a piece of crap imo

I would just buy a randall head or crate head. Like the schockwave. or randall rg series with a 2 x 12" cab.

you complain the amp has no tone, yet you play it through a metalzone?

give us a price range. I suggest a Blue Voodoo 2x12 combo if $300 - $400 is in your range.

i just saw a blue vodoo for 450 euros, to bad i spended my 450 euros on a digitech preamp a while ago
