Hartley Peavey

"Since the invasion of the conglomerates in the 60's and 70's, many companies with famous names have changed hands, often several times. Unbelievably, many musicians think that because the name is the same, the company is the same. This is not true! After all, companies are nothing but groups of people. The truth of the matter is that when people change, so do the companies."

"My company has been under the same ownership for nearly 37 years. I can think of only one other company, Marshall, that has been under the same ownership longer than Peavey."

"Through the years, we continued to 'dare to be different' and build the best products possible. Currently, my company has over 130 patents worldwide with new ones being applied for at all times. A major difference between Peavey and our competitors is that some of the famous names seem more interested in trying to recreate the glories of the past than in build a better product for today's (and tomorrow's) musician."

"Our goal was (and still is) 'to be the best,' even though that means being different."
