Re: The CEO of Gibson was explaining how he turned the company around
 

I think that's Peavey got known. From building quality music equipment at a competitive price.  their prices have gone up in the recent years, but still I think they're price is competitive. (on some things) For example, their Bass guitars. However, the Peavey Rotor are pricey @ $750 big ones.

Peavey tube amps seem somewhat fair. Now with Bugera amps knocking at the door-step, I'm not sure what Peavey will do...  I guess it boils down to the dependability of Bugera.

for me, I'd pick a Bugera 333 over a Peavey Valveking.
