Osvaldo G. Torres Peavey Amps have a reputation for that. ''They Last Forever''. There are other amp makers that I know that can pull off that stunt too, but Peavey are constant in that. The only Peavey amps I heard ''failing'' was a Peavey bass amp (from the Express family amp line) still sounding with just a line ground issue. The other one was an old Peavey Bandit that was way, WAY abused. Somehow it survived for 15 years. It just needs to be repaired. I'm sure the higher Peavey line may be great, durable ampmorePeavey Amps have a reputation for that. ''They Last Forever''.
