Ghost Note Audio Red Stripe/Lead 100 Gold/8100 Gold

[megatrav]

Ghost Note Audio has some cool recreations of older transistor amps.

Red Stripe- Based on the Peavey Bandit Red Stripe

8100 Gold- Based on the Marshall Valvestate (sans tube)

Lead 100- Based on the Marshall Mosfet LEAD

They're a bit pricey and could probably be made by any users here that make their own PCBs since the schematics are available.

I own a Red Stripe Bandit but hate carrying it around. I've also always wanted a Mosfet 100

Let’s put it in years- what is a “red stripe” bandit? I know of the bandit 65 (1980-1988), bandit 75 (88-89), bandit 112 (89-95), Transtube bandit 95-present

Transtube has 3 series (4 “versions”)

Silver stripe 95-99
Red stripe usa (block logo) 00-03/04
Red stripe China (pointy logo) 04-07
Modern 07-present

The modern version is quite different than the versions before it.
Silver and red stripe versions use the same circuit with different cosmetics and speakers.

Thank you.
I really want the circuit from the 75w version. Short lived and no tone control on the dirt channel but it was my first real amp and nostalgia ya know?

Absolutely! The red stripe bandit was my first real amp. I sold it a friend of mine 10 years ago. I bought it back from him a couple months ago. I love it!
But I’d also love to have the tone into a more lightweight and honestly not as loud setup
