I understand all the corporate "necessities" & bs, but that whole show (I NEVER watched it before and happened to see gear in surfing the channel) was scripted by Peavey to move their agenda (whatever it truly is) along.
Read between the lines! It was ALL contrived! Remember, any publicity, including bad publicity, is still that-PUBLICITY. That was the intent. I'd be not at all surprised that they are looking to be acquired or they are finally pulling the plug completely. New product designers and outsource experts may be the only way to stay afloat as well as the only remaining US of A employees-if any survive the next round of cuts.
Rock ON & Keep the faith,
