Summer NAMM: Peavey Expands Generation™ Series With Vintage-Voiced Models

AUSTIN, Texas (Summer 2006 NAMM exhibit #1746) — Peavey proudly introduces four all-new Generation Series electric guitars, including the Generation Custom EX featuring a special reverse-wound humbucker in the neck position and patented ACM® Analog Acoustic Modeling circuitry. The Generation Custom EX, Generation Vintage EX, Generation Triple/Single EX and Generation EX guitars further refine the artistry of this renowned line with vintage-wound pickups and vintage tuning keys, basswood body, maple necks and rosewood fingerboards. Vintage-wound Peavey pickups add tonal balance and a vintage flair to both clean and distorted tones, while the ACM circuitry replicates an acoustic guitar's tone and resonance through a patented analog process. The vintage pickup and ACM tones can be blended by the 360-degree, fully adjustable knob control for a hybrid tone. The traditional pickups can be adjusted via volume and tone controls and toggle-style selector switches. The Peavey Generation Custom EX, Generation Vintage EX, Generation Triple/Single EX and Generation EX will be available in Q3 2006 from authorized Peavey retailers.
