Mike,
What's the difference between the Bandit 112 and the Nashville 112? Is the bandit generally considered a good amp for the steel?
Thanks again for the knobs which I just received.

Although I'm not Mike(or Lisa), I have both of those amps. The Nashville is designed for steel, the Bandit for lead guitar. The speakers and EQ circuits are different.
I have used the Bandit at home for a practice amp and it sounds good with my steel. In a bigger venue, it probably would not sound as good as the Nashville 112.
For steel guitar, definitely go with the Nashville 112.

John is correct. Each of the two models are voiced different in design by using proven design methods and many hours/years of input and much research and developement.

Trust your ears, and in this case, our ears.

Thanks,
