European Beat: Where next for Peavey?

The closure of Peavey’s European HQ during the latter half of last year means the firm is now without distribution in the UK.

In truth, the future of the UK base was in doubt as soon as the firm decided to move manufacturing away from there to China some time ago.

MMR understands that there are a number of UK distributors currently kicking the tires of the range. But it is a big commitment and will require the right level of logistics for a big-box product line-up. There are further questions about whether anyone will want to commit to the entire range including the guitars and Trace Elliot bass amps.

It should make for juicy negotiating if there is genuine interest in the line-up. That there might not be should also not be ruled out.
