Peavey Bandit 112 Guitar Amplifier With Transtube +20ft - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Yellow should be the positive. Try plugging in and reversing. The louder of the two is the one in phase and the correct wiring. If the speaker is pushing out when playing , it is in phase and correct also.
The distortion problem could be a speaker going out. It may not be totally blown, but may be verging.
Holding your hand out as wide as you can push against the speaker lightly. If there is a rubbing or scratching sound, the speaker could be damaged.If it moves freely, and there is no scratching its okay.
Another possibility is the clean channel may have a channel volume set to high. Make sure the clean channel volume is set lower than the master volume otherwise you can get distortion on that channel too.
Good Luck.

cracked solder joint, bad pot, dirty insert jack

yes, if you know what is the amp module check.

1- check the outlet for power by plugging in a lamp or something2- check the amps fuse. Most power amps have user replaceable glass fuses.

It is unlikely the transformer is bad, Some of these have a thermal fuse in the windings. Usually failed components overload the power supply and blow the main fuse.

USUALLY if the output transistors go, they stay gone. You may have a thermal cutout switch shutting off because of over temp. Make sure fans and heat sinks have free air flow. I have seen broken solder joints in these near the volume pots. Those can also cause a failure as unit warms. When it stops again, let it sit without playing for say 10 minutes and see if it comes back on... if it does, the over temp sensor is probably shutting it down so it doesn't fry. Is it possible you are driving it too hard? Often people try to get more sound level out than unit can deliver.

Take it for repair immediately as there is something that is thermally sensitive and it may cause worse damage with continued use. The problem is LIKELY a broken solder joint. Depending on where it is, it could cause damage to the power amp portion. It OFTEN is at one of the leads to a volume control and those USUALLY don't cause damage, but one can't be sure till it is repaired. These broken joints oxidize and then eventually warm and punch through and the device starts working. You MIGHT want to try wiggling the controls to see if one brings the unit on immediately showing itself as the culprit.

Overdrive is the key to the crunchy metal sound. The only effect on that amp is reverb.
You may want to consider getting an overdrive pedal to get the sound you want.

Pain isn't it? Finding compatible knobs is a problem... often they are odd shaft sizes and reaches.

CONSIDER this... remove and paint them with flat black paint and then paint a stripe where the original black on is... guaranteed compatible fit, and you can get the job done in a couple hours for paint to dry. You MAY have to lightly sand the knobs to get paint to stick but that shouldn't take long... try one first as chrome doesn't take paint very well.. If the knobs are metal thoughout, you can just take a hacksaw blade to cut where the line is to expose the metal as the pointer line. The knobs are probably sputtered plastic though...

No the 'send' socket is to plug in an external effects unit (it may also be used to feed a slave amp) but it will not disconnect the loudspeaker

The intergrated circuit is most likely gone out. Not much you can do, cost in repair is more than the amp. Check out the peavey vypyr, it's a great modeling amp for about $100.

This has several vacuum tubes and those are suspect. Take a pencil and tap the glass of the smaller tubes to look for noise changes. You may have to take off the tube metal shield to do this.
If you have got 15 years of life from the tubes that is great. Also suspect are electrolytic filter caps.
If you are not electronically adept, take it in for repair.

It sounds like there might be an issue with your audio equipment or settings. Double-check the connections, ensure proper device selection, and verify if your equipment is functioning correctly. If the problem persists, consider seeking technical support or consulting forums for specific troubleshooting advice based on your setup.

Check on the back for a tubular fuse holder or inside for a fuse on the power board. Peavey Support. https://www.google.com/search?q=Peavey+Escort+3000 ..

If your Peavey 14 BT mixer is not allowing you to pan the audio signal and is sending the same signal to both outputs, there could be a few potential reasons for this issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take to address the problem: 1. **Check the Pan Controls:** Make sure you're using the correct pan controls for the channels you're trying to pan. The pan controls are typically knobs labeled "Pan" or "Balance" on each channel strip. Ensure that they're set to the desired positions. 2. **Reset Pan Controls:** If you've already adjusted the pan controls and they're not working as expected, try resetting them to their center positions. This can help eliminate any accidental settings that might be causing the issue. 3. **Channel Routing:** Some mixers have routing options that can affect panning. Check if there are any routing switches or buttons that might be affecting the signal routing for each channel. 4. **Mono/Stereo Mode:** Some mixers have a mono/stereo mode switch that can affect panning. Make sure the mixer is in the appropriate mode for your setup. 5. **Master Pan Control:** Ensure that the master stereo output pan control is set to the center position. If it's panned to one side, it can affect the overall stereo output. 6. **Test Different Channels:** Try panning different channels to see if the issue is specific to one channel or affecting multiple channels. 7. **Firmware/Software Update:** If your mixer has digital components or software control, check if there are any firmware updates available. Sometimes, software updates can address functionality issues. 8. **Physical Damage or Wear:** Inspect the pan controls and associated circuitry for any physical damage or wear that could be causing the issue. 9. **Factory Reset:** If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you might consider performing a factory reset on the mixer. Be sure to back up any important settings before doing this. 10. **Professional Service:** If the problem persists after trying these steps, it might be a more complex internal issue that requires professional servicing. Contact Peavey's customer support or a qualified audio technician for further assistance. Remember that the exact steps and controls can vary depending on the model of your Peavey mixer. Refer to the user manual for your specific model for more detailed information on troubleshooting and operation.

My guess is 1985. I think the T-60 was made from 1978 to 1988. I can't find your number in the Peavey finder so I jumped to the following chart where I just rather made up where in might fit. I'm not sure if even peavey can help. https://www.guitarsite.com/database/Guitars/rec/2986/wwwboard/messages/41.shtml https://peavey.com/c/Support

It does not have built-in phantom power. Phantom power is a method used to provide power to condenser microphones and other devices that require a small amount of power to operate. It is important to note that the XR-600B have XLR inputs which are typically used for condenser microphones that require phantom power but it does not provide this feature. If you want to use a condenser microphone with the XR-600B, you'll need an external phantom power supply or an audio interface that provides phantom power.
