Peavey Bandit Supreme Teal Stripe Preamp Pedal Black and Teal

Peavey Bandit Supreme Teal Stripe Preamp Pedal Black and Teal

The Peavey Bandit Supreme Teal Stripe preamp pedal revives one of the most beloved high-gain solid-state tones of the early ’90s. Based on the second-generation Bandit 112 and Supreme 160 amplifiers—instantly recognizable by their teal striping—this pedal brings the aggressive clarity, punchy mids and tight low end of the legendary Lead channel to your pedalboard. Known for its fierce distortion and dynamic response, the Teal Stripe Bandit gained cult status among metal, rock and hardcore players for its ability to cut through any mix without sacrificing articulation. Now, its high-voltage, solid-state character is back in a compact format built for the modern guitarist.

Teal Stripe Lead Channel, Reborn

Under the hood, the Bandit Supreme preamp faithfully captures the voicing, gain structure and EQ interaction of the original amp’s iconic Lead channel. Powered internally by a bipolar supply from a standard 9V source, it delivers that unmistakable solid-state snap with surprising warmth and dimension. The Supersat and post-gain controls allow players to sculpt everything from focused crunch to full-blown saturation, while the gain and mid-shift switches unlock even greater tonal range. From tight, riff-ready rhythm sounds to searing leads with tons of cut, this preamp nails the core of Peavey’s Teal Stripe magic.

Supersat and Post-Gain in Action

One of the key tonal hallmarks of the Teal Stripe era is Peavey’s Supersat gain architecture, faithfully recreated here to deliver massive saturation without sacrificing note definition. The Supersat control sets the intensity of the saturation, while the post-gain governs output level, enabling smooth transitions from subtle breakup to all-out distortion. Together, they let players explore the full dynamic range of the original amp—from snarling overdrive to crushing high-gain. This unique gain structure adds both aggression and articulation, perfect for cutting through a mix while retaining clarity across complex chord voicings or fast lead runs.

Shaped by the Iconic Active EQ

What made the original Bandit’s gain so versatile—and what sets this preamp pedal apart—is its powerful three-band active EQ. Labeled Bottom, Body and Edge, these intuitive controls deliver aggressive tone shaping with clarity and control. Whether you’re boosting for chunk, scooping for clarity or adding bite on top, each knob reacts musically to your playing and the position of the gain structure. The EQ also interacts dynamically with the mid-shift toggle, letting you fine-tune the critical upper-mids for modern metal or vintage grind. Whatever your style, the Bandit Supreme preamp makes it easy to dial in your signature sound.

Built Like a Tank, Designed for the Stage

Every pedal in the Legacy Preamp Series is built to gig, and the Bandit Supreme Teal Stripe is no exception. With a rugged die-cast metal chassis, high-end pots, switches and jacks and fiberglass PCB construction with 2 oz copper, it’s engineered for long-term reliability. The true hard bypass circuit includes anti-click technology for silent switching, and the output level is designed to suit everything from instrument inputs to full-range modelers and power amps. Drawing less than 100mA from a standard 9V supply—or optional 9V battery—it fits easily into any modern pedalboard or fly rig.

Classic Peavey Firepower, Modern Pedal Precision

The Peavey Bandit Supreme Teal Stripe preamp pedal is your gateway to the bold, aggressive tone that made the Teal Stripe amps legendary. From screaming solos to chest-thumping rhythm tones, it delivers the signature attack, EQ flexibility and tight response that defined a generation of heavy guitar sound. All the tone of the original—none of the backbreaking weight. Whether you play metal, punk, grunge or anything in between, this preamp puts a piece of Peavey history at your feet, ready to roar.
