Peavey Electronics Corporation is a privately-owned American company which designs, develops, manufactures, and markets professional audio equipment.

[3] Peavey Electronics once owned approximately 1,500,000 square feet (140,000 m2; 34 acres) of warehouse space across North America, Europe and Asia.

Although Peavey Electronics produces a wide variety of equipment, a few designs stand out as a result of their popularity or use by prominent professionals.

The 5150 has gained popularity[citation needed] with modern hard rock, hardcore punk and metal bands and guitarists due to its large amount of distortion.

In the mid-1990s, the Bandit was used to introduce Peavey's proprietary TransTube circuitry, a solid-state technology aimed at emulating the sound of tube amplifiers.

[10] Peavey's line of guitar amplifiers made specifically for blues, jazz, and classic rock players.

They could be used separately, or by plugging the instrument into the "parallel" connection, which fed both preamps, allowing selection of one from the other using a foot switch.

[citation needed] Satriani was looking for an amplifier that was customized to his style, had every feature he required, and would work in both live and studio applications.

The flagship 1000 model consisted of a radial bridge that took all the mounting stresses, and a 3-ply thin maple shell to enhance the resonance.

Originally, the Peavey XXX was set to become recording artist George Lynch's signature model but the deal never finalized.

The models include Fender twin and deluxe, Mesa/Boogie Rectifier, Diezel Boutique, Krank Krankenstein, Vox AC30—and a large collection of Peavey amps like the 6505, XXX, and JSX.

The battery powered "Nano Vypyr" was introduced in 2012 as a competitor against other small portable modeling amps like the Roland Micro Cube and Fender Mini-Mustang.

The internal design is essentially identical to the vintage Marshall, with the exception of using a plate-fed tone stack instead of the Marshall-trademarked cathode-follower-based circuitry.

The design was relatively successful, but did not gain the reputation or popularity of similarly priced guitars such as the Fender Stratocaster or the Gibson Les Paul.

Chief Operating Officer Courtland Gray made visits to a company store and manufacturing plant in disguise, with the founder communicating to him through a hidden earpiece.

Before the episode aired, the creator of Undercover Boss issued an unprecedented statement indicating something "unfortunate happened after filming".

In making these allegations, the Music Group cited an ongoing investigation of its own initiation that assessed Peavey products with regard to US patent laws and FCC regulations.

[18] In April 2014, Peavey Electronics Corporation was fined US$225,000 (equivalent to $289,583.92 in 2023) by the FCC for violating digital device laws by not including required labeling and marketing statements in their owner's manuals.

[19] [irrelevant citation] [20][21] On December 10, 2020, Christian Sanchez filed a complaint in New York Federal court against Peavey Electronics Corporation.
