We discuss the return of legendary gear like the Peavey Decade and VTM, the truth about why pros used to ban Peavey from tour riders, and the big question everyone is asking: Is Peavey bringing manufacturing back to the USA?.
Fred lays it all out with genuine emotion and transparency. If you've ever owned a Bandit, a Predator, or a 5150, you need to watch this.
