Pevaey 6505 series heads all to be made in China?

Post by eclipseall » Sat Oct 31, 2015 9:12 am

Plaease someone tell me thats not true!
Im talking about the 6505, 6505+ and 6534+.

I know the combo and the mini are made in china, but are they making this move with the American made heads?


I really hope they dont.

Will this drive up prices for used American made Peavey gear?

Probably not. Like Chrysler products, most people have little regard for the product, ergo used units are cheaper than those of many other makes. What it may do is make the us made ones harder to find.

Quality will be the same, right?.......so it shouldn't really matter.

This is gonna hurt Peavey. This is the king of the high gainers. Now to be made in China.
Don't believe the quality will be the same.
People will look for other amps now. Better made. USA, German, English.

They should keep production of the 6505 in the US. Its part of what makes this amp so great.

Now it will be a just another Chinese piece of whatever.

I imagine if they thought that, they wouldn't have done it? Peavey been around a while now.

Just curious eclipsall why you think that the quality of the product itself will drop. Peavey have their quality control standards and i'm sure for their most sought after head unit they know they can't afford to drop their game. I'm looking at getting a head and hopefully i'm right in my thinking otherwise, when i do get the cash i'd hate to think that i'd be getting an inferior version of a product thats been in production for years, it should only get better and more reliable......even cheaper in time. Well, thats my line of thinking but i can totally understand your point on this as i'd prefer to buy the USA made version knowing what i'd be getting instead of waiting to see how the china made versions pan out.

Usually Chinese made electronics are made with cheaper and inferior components.

If Peavey maintains ALL the components that go in the amps with the same quality as the US made heads then its all good.

But coming from china, this move is to cut cost. So i hope it all goes into cheaper labor and not cheaper parts.
