In 1963 a 15-year-old Floyd Rose picked up his first guitar. A year later Floyd’s family moved to Reno, Nevada where he received his first tremolo-equipped guitar. It was a 1964 Fender Jazzmaster. Having grown up a fan of the Beach Boys and the Ventures, he found himself making ample use of his whammy bar, which only increased into the late 60’s and early 70’s. Floyd found inspiration in Hendrix’s performance at Woodstock and in watching Ritchie Blackmore play in Sacramento. But it was when Floyd learned to intonate his guitar for himself that he began manipulating things to his own standards....

Park Amplifiers...
Jim Marshall was first known for having a store where local musicians were able to hang out, interact and play gear. He sold his amps worldwide as Marshall but domestically he was Park Amplifiers. An invaluable testing ground for new product and the ability to keep his finger on the pulse of the exploding British music scene. Park Amplifiers often referred to as 'a little bit hotter' have been coveted in England as they are much more rare then the 'Marshall bra.nded' equivalent.

The minute you put a Kepma Elite instrument in your hands — pick a few notes, strum a few chords — you'll get it. Our instruments are different. They're uniquely "you". Once you play one, you won't want to stop. New ideas will suddenly start streaming and streaking through your conscience as if you're merely a vessel for melodies from beyond. You'll lose yourself in the moment of playing and all of a sudden, hours have passed. An instrument that inspires you becomes your writing partner — your playing partner. Your best friend. Corny? Perhaps, but also true. You know what it's like when a guitar just "fits"... it fits your hands, it fits your style and it fits your soul. That's why we build instruments. That's what inspires us to create instruments that will inspire you.

Peavey® Electronics is celebrating its 60th anniversary! Six decades is a milestone for any business, but in the manufacturing of musical instruments and audio equipment, it is truly extraordinary. Six decades under one man’s leadership is on a whole other level. It’s not only impressive, it’s practically unprecedented. Hartley Peavey’s distinctive vision was the key that started it all in Meridian, Mississippi, and he’s the catalyst that keeps Peavey cruising ahead in the fast lane towards the future.
Hartley Peavey received his first patent for a unique speaker enclosure in 1964. However, it wasn’t until after graduating college that he founded Peavey Electronics Corporation in 1965. What started as a one-man shop above his father’s ex-music store grew into one of the largest independently owned manufacturers in the music and sound industry. Hartley famously said, “In order to be better, by definition you must be different.” Peavey’s unmatched history of innovation has continued since its beginning and has led to more than 180 patents being issued worldwide with new patents now in process. Peavey went from a one-man startup to a major manufacturer by adhering to Hartley’s prime directive: “top-notch gear at a fair price”. A significant number of aspiring artists, who might not have had the chance otherwise, were able to pursue performing careers thanks to the affordability and accessibility of Peavey gear. Long before the advent of the internet and easy access to everything from everywhere, Peavey was the brand that numerous professional artists, as well as those striving to become pros, trusted most.
It wasn’t just the artists that were directly impacted by the visions of Peavey. Hartley’s efforts changed how the whole industry operates. Peavey’s unique approach helped dealers and distributors around the world build businesses and thrive with fair pricing and innovative product solutions. This vision of collaboration is what has helped build Peavey into the global icon it is today.
Learning to play an instrument with a Peavey amp has almost become a “rite of passage”. But that wasn’t enough for Peavey. Always a leader in innovation, Peavey’s TransTube® technology released in 1982 changed how all quality solid-state guitar amplifiers sound and is still a “benchmark” to this day. Peavey’s roadworthy gear kept working musicians cranking up without breaking down. In garages across America, most bands started out with great performing and reliable Peavey amplifiers. Peavey’s established record of innovation provided top level performance at fair prices and provided professional performance to artists and groups at the highest level all the way down to beginners.
