Yikes! How did this thread get started?! Any way, I've used a lot of Peavey gear in the last 25 years. (I'm from MS where its made...) And *every* time I give their stuff a try again, I get burned. >>It is these dumb beginners that mess up. Peavey's gear has always been noisy and much of it seems to be aimed at beginners. I guess they do make a few medium-priced guitars like the Wolfgang thing (which I actually like). My first Squier strat was made in Japan, and was a *great* guitar for $250. I used it for much the same reason Mark C. mentioned below. For real stratiness though, I use my G&L S500. At any rate... they don't make a serious looping device (not that this will prevent a long and evil smelling thread to arise....) and every piece of gear Peavey, or otherwise can make spiffy sounds in the right hands. -=WFA=- -----Original Message----- From: murkie <murkie@panther.middlebury.edu> To: Loopers-Delight@annihilist.com <Loopers-Delight@annihilist.com> Date: Monday, March 15, 1999 5:01 PM Subject: OT!
