Peavey Bandit Supreme Preamp Pedal - Teal Stripe Lead Channel | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Peavey Bandit Supreme preamp pedal is an exact analog recreation of the Lead channel circuit from the legendary "Teal Stripe" Peavey Bandit 112/Supreme 160 — the amp that powered '90s hard rock rigs and quietly showed up on a surprising number of classic death metal albums. Built around Supersat- and Post-gain knobs, a 3-band EQ with dedicated Bottom, Body, and Edge controls, and a mid-shift switch for toggling between boosted and scooped midrange voicings, this stompbox gives hard rock and metal guitarists surgical tonal control over one of the most celebrated amp circuits of the era. If the Teal Stripe Bandit's Lead channel defined part of your guitar education, this pedal puts it on your pedalboard.

Product Overview

The Bandit Supreme pedal's circuit is a direct, one-to-one replication of the second-generation Bandit 112/Supreme 160 Lead channel — the specific iteration of the Bandit circuit that earned the "Teal Stripe" its reputation among hard rock and metal players in the late '80s and early '90s. Peavey's engineering team went back to the original amp's schematic to ensure the pedal captures the same gain structure, harmonic character, and frequency response that made the Teal Stripe a sought-after amp in its heyday and a collectible on the used market today. Players at our Idaho Falls guitar shop who know the Teal Stripe Bandit will recognize the circuit immediately — and players who don't will quickly understand why it mattered.

Gain control on the Bandit Supreme is handled through a combination of a Supersat knob, a Post-gain knob, and a dedicated Gain switch — a three-way approach that gives players more precise, independent control over saturation and output level than a conventional single-gain-knob design. The Supersat control shapes the input saturation character of the Lead channel circuit, the Post knob controls output level independently, and the Gain switch toggles between gain settings for quick access to distinctly different levels of aggression without adjusting knob positions. Together, they provide the surgical tonal precision that the original Bandit Supreme's Lead channel was built to deliver.

The 3-band EQ — Bottom, Body, and Edge — maps directly to the frequency ranges that matter most for high-gain guitar tone, giving players detailed control over low-end weight, midrange presence, and high-frequency definition. The mid-shift switch adds a further dimension of tonal flexibility, toggling between boosted mids for a fuller, more forward sound and scooped mids for the classic '80s thrash voicing that the Supreme 160 helped define. Hard bypass switching ensures a clean, uncolored signal path when the pedal is not engaged.

Key Features

Exact Teal Stripe Lead Channel Recreation Peavey's analog circuit is a direct replication of the second-generation Bandit 112/Supreme 160 Lead channel — the specific circuit revision that earned the Teal Stripe its place in hard rock and death metal history, reproduced from the original schematic.

Supersat and Post-Gain Controls Independent Supersat and Post-gain knobs give players precise, separate control over input saturation character and output level — a more surgical gain-staging approach than a conventional single-drive-knob design and a key element of the original amp's tonal flexibility.

Gain Switch The dedicated Gain switch toggles between distinct gain settings for quick access to different levels of aggression and saturation without requiring knob adjustments mid-performance — a practical, performance-ready feature for live stage use.

3-Band EQ (Bottom, Body, Edge) The three-band EQ with Bottom, Body, and Edge controls maps directly to the low, mid, and high frequency ranges most critical for high-gain guitar tone, providing detailed shaping capability that goes well beyond a standard treble/mid/bass layout.

Mid-Shift Switch The mid-shift switch toggles between two distinct midrange voicings: boosted mids for a fuller, more forward and present sound, and scooped mids for the classic '80s thrash character that the original Supreme 160 helped make iconic.

Hard Bypass Switching Hard bypass removes the Bandit Supreme pedal entirely from your signal path when disengaged, delivering a clean, transparent direct signal with no coloration or tone suck when the preamp circuit is not in use.
