Are you using the Peavey amp as your main preamp tone or the the other way around?

Are you just using the 11R for effects?

well in this moment i just connected my guitar in the guitar input of the 11R then i connected the "phones" input of the 11R with the normal input for guitar of the Amp.

and yeah i'm using the 11R for effects

for the moment works, but i'm sure it is not the right connection.

You need to go into the amp with your guitar, our the send of the fx loop on the amp to input of 11r, out 11r from output to amp (I think?) and into return of fx loop if you're ONLY using 11r for fx, and no amp models. If you're just using it as a power amp, go into 11r, out of output to amp, into RETURN of fx loop. This will bypass the pre amp of your Bandit altogether. Hope this helps. I don't use mine this way, so hopefully I have the connections correct.

Also, if running it the second way I posted, you'll likely need to make adjustments to the settings on the 11r. Change the output to (again, I THINK) Output Rig, No Cab (or you can try it with the cab), and you'll need to set your levels to adjust. I did this ONCE on my Fender Hotrod Deville 410, and the standard outputs were so loud it was unbearable. I had to adjust all my levels on my output to amp rather than just the level control. That and rig balancing were useless. Now I just run full rig out to front of house and monitor through Avioms. Perfect setup.

"Rig Out No Cab" disables cab\mic sims globally, even on the XLRs, which may be good if you're micing the Peavey, but if you also need to send a full rig to the PA, you need to set the 1/4" out you're sending to the Peavey to "Amp Output".
