I didn't understand very well mate, sorry, do you have Peavey Bandit and wanna buy a new one? How much is your budget?

I want a pod xt live, and I have a bandit 112

I want to know if sound quality will be well with live pod XT + peavey 112? or then I must buy another amplifier?

my budget is 250 euros

I think it would be good with Peavey, no need to change to amp, specially for 250e - you won't get much better sound. The real upgrade would be to some kind of good tube amp.

Also that POD doesn't work best with guitar amp, it works best when plugged into hi quality monitors, so if you have those, it would probably be better to use the POD that way.

With Pod XT you can get tons of different sounds. The amp doesn't really matter because you are already using amp simulation from your POD so you can experiment with the Pod settings to get what you want. If your amp works ok like this, it should work well with your Pod as well.

I use the pod xt live in church I plug into the P.A .When I play outdoors I use a crate 212 combo mic`d into PA. I have no complaints on either set-up. the only recomendation is 2 + speakers. it allows some effects to ping pong

As Emir said , with Pod XT Live you don't need an awesome amp.
Pod has virtually everything built in it and you can change the settings of amps and sounds in it.
The best pedal out there for sure.
