    Peavey amps put decent quality amps and PA systems into the price range of average players- and a few of them were soon to be classics. They should be commended for their 70s and 80s history.

      Most of the kids in junior high and high school had Peavey amps because they were affordable when starting out. You could always get a good used amp and they tended to last a long time.

    I had a Bandit 75 back in the 80's. I was, and still am, more into the bluesy rock like Foghat, Savoy Brown, Johnny Winter and so on. I am 65 and retired and live in an apartment and right now I have a small Backstage. And for being so small, it packs a helluva punch. Have been a Peavey fan for 40 years.

      When I started playing guitar in junior high everyone had a Peavey. I might do a retro demo on a Bandit.

    Good Day. After i got out of the Air Force, I hooked up with a band in Miami Florida in 1974. I'm a drummer. Our Lead & Rhythm Guitar Players had Peavey amps. Each amp had 4x12" speakers & a Horn. Loud and Incredible Amps. I've never seen them anywhere else and never mentioned on any Peavey History Videos. Thanks & Best Regards

      In 1973 they made a 4x12 with CTS speakers, maybe it was that?

    Just found your channel, it seems right up my alley. Rock on, my dad was a Peavey rep the first 20 years of my life. He presented the 5150 with James Brown and Hartley to Eddie at his house. You could say i was raised on Peavey.

    My main amp is the 25 Watt Bravo 112 combo. I think it's one of the best Peavey designs.

      Never played the Bravo, but it looks like a good amp.

    Peavey is a very underrated brand but that does mean you can get for less $$ than the "big boys".

      ​@@desertrockunitedThe rivera-era solid state fenders are pretty nice, but the build quality started to take a nosedive with the red knob series...peavey stayed consistently solid for decades

    why doesn't Peavey recreate their old heads?

      They probably should. An updated version of The Butcher might be fun to play.

      Most likely this is the effect of overseas production vs.being made in the 🇺🇸.

      I remember some of the PAs being cost effective but maybe not exactly high end systems
