"There are some things that I would change, but not many. Would I have given it all up to become a rock star? Absolutely."

Rock n' Roll.

Kick ass.I rarely play my 5150 anymore but i don't think i'll ever part with it and this man and what he stands for is one of the reasons why.As a matter of fact i'm lending it to a friend so he can burn a little tube time into it.It deserves to sing.

Cool story! I owned a Peavey VTM 120 and a 5150,both great products. I still own my USA made Peavey Wolfgang Special.

I believe those are two of the best amps peavey has ever made. I've played through both, and both are great.

My Peavey T-15 is still my main electric, since I don't play much metal anymore. I have an old boat anchor mixer amp and speakers that we determined made us over $100K over the years. I have a bunch of Peavey gear, nearly all from when Peavey was 100% American, and while it's not what you'd call esoteric, it's cost/return ratio is excellent.
Think of all the classic gear we've all used: The CS-800 and other PA amps, the SP-series PA cabs, the Mark series mixing consoles, the PR-series speakers, the XR mixer/amps, TKO and TNT bass amps, Backstage/Bandit/Classic/Valveking/5150 guitar amps, Nashville steel guitar amps, let alone all the guitars, basses, and drums. Even though I never cared for their microphones, there used to be one in every gig-case, from bar-bands to schools, to churches. Now the Media Matrix digital-control systems are state-of-the-art, and the Sanctuary gear is THE go-to system for small to mid-size churches, which is the bread-and-butter of install companies.
You gotta give the man props, I wish they were all like that.
