Here are some of the Peavey artists who will be appearing:

David Sanchez is the front man & rhythm guitarist for American thrash metal band Havok from Denver, CO. David has an affinity for the Peavey Triple XXX® II all-tube guitar amp, which helped further define the tone of modern high gain metal. His other Peavey go-tos include the Peavey 6505® Plus, Peavey 6534® Plus and Peavey 6505® 412 cabinets outfitted with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers.

Blue Öyster Cult is a legendary American rock band known for such hits as “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper,” “Godzilla” and “Burnin’ for You.” Eric Bloom (guitar/vocals) and Buck Dharma (guitar/vocals) have both used Composite Acoustics® guitars and a variety of Peavey custom made guitars and amplifiers over the years.

Chase Becker is the guitarist for the thrash metal band Warbringer as well as the extreme metal band Exmortus, both from California. He plugs into the Peavey 6505® Plus high gain guitar amp, known for its raw tone, relentless power, and road-proven reliability.

Mike Leon is the bassist of world music influenced heavy metal band Soulfly. He relies on Peavey’s MA-810 8×10 bass cabinet, and the MiniMEGA™ 1000-Watt mini bass head. The combination of this gear provides him incredibly full and rich bass tones all around the globe.

Hemlock is a heavy metal band from Las Vegas. Bassist/lead vocalist Chad Smith was known to use the Peavey Tour™ 700 Series bass amp head. While on the road in 2016, he unboxed the lightweight Peavey MiniMEGA™ 1000 Watt bass amplifier and introduced the new addition to fans on social media. He has used it ever since.

Gabriel Guardian is the founding member and guitarist/keyboardist of the quartet Immortal Guardian and a major social media influencer. His “Gabriel Guardian Shreds Guitar/Keyboard Solo in ‘Aeolian’ (Immortal Guardian)” 30 second video on YouTube, featuring his Peavey VYPYR® Pro amplifier, has over 963,000 views alone. Gabriel can most recently be seen shredding with his invective™.120 guitar amplifier and invective™. 212 cabinet live and online. This gear provides not only the high-gain tones he’s looking for during  heavy rhythmic parts and blistering solos but also the ultra-clean tones necessary for many effects pedal and keyboard tones.
