I believe you've been a fan of Peavey equipment for quite a while now. Would that be a true statement?

I started used Peavey gear when the company just started. Later, I became close friends with Mr. Paul Robinson, who worked for Peavey. Paul would bring the latest gear for me to evaluate and often just leave it with me.
The last thing he brought me was a red Peavey guitar. He would sit in with me and play it when he came to town. I still have it.
Paul and I played golf every time he came to town, and I also went to his house in Memphis to play a couple of times. One day while he was on the road, he finished his appointments early, decided to play a round of golf. After he finished, he went went to dinner, then back to the motel room. He died later that night from a heart attack.
Now every time I think of Peavey it reminds me of my friend.
Anyway, the PR15s were the last Peavey gear I bought. I must admit I have opted for several pieces of the low-price Behringer gear in the past few years, and have not been disappointed.
I believe Behringer has had a big effect on the entire industry and have forced other companies to price their gear more realistically.
