FENDER/EVH 5150 III confirmed

[Ben Johnson]

This is so true. Peavey made some truly craptacular amps in the 80s. I mean, just fucking horrible. I remember test-driving thier Marshall JCM 800 clone back when it was new. The one with the DIP switches on front so you could 'tweak' your sound.... and I couldn't get it to sound good no matter what.

For a very very long time, Peavey was synonymous with "shit." Fortunately, they finally got their act together with the 5150.

They make a good bass too, namely the USA Cirrus.

probably a dumb question but why does he act so loopy??

Wording this carefully. I believe its because hes a total alcoholic! He did have cancer of the tongue but recently claimed that its not from the 60 a day he smokes, its from holding a metal pick in his mouth while he taps. Doesnt matter anyway, he now claims hes cured cancer. Seriously he really things he all this is true!!

Anyway how long will it be before Behringer do a version of this amp?

Fuck yeah that bass is sick. Exspensive though . I hate the EVH wolfgang guitar though uke:. In fact I don't think there is a peavy guitar on the market that doesn't suck 90 year old pussy.

I used to have a Peavey Vortex guitar. Stock pickups were quite descent. Had a Kahler tremolo which I loved. I almost miss that guitar.

The "BVH 25,150 Tres"

Ah wait behringer, I made that up, you gotta pay me for making that up, don't steal it behringer! FUCK FUCK FUCK!

you should have heard the peavey "tone" before Eddie hooked up with them, peavey was a joke unless you were the backline for the grand ol opry

I wouldnt worry too much, not to mention fender has built some of the finest amps in history, and directly inspired the others (the first marshall was Jim marshalls take on a bassman, and el34s were cheaper than 6l6's VIOLA! Marshall was born) Fender can build amps man, just keep that fucking metalhead thing away from me

Man, this is so true. When I started out, my music store only sold Peavey amps. I've had them all. I wanted a marshall so bad, when I was a kid. Man, I've had every fucking Peavey Bandit, VTM, fucking crap country amp under the sun. So true, EDDIE made Peavey rad. Peavey stuff is built to last too, though. I love Eddie. Can't wait for the Roth reunion!
