Peavey Returns as Backline Sponsor of Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest: Los Angeles

Peavey Electronics® is announcing its return as the backline sponsor of Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest: Los Angeles. Presented by Metal Blade Records and hosted by America’s only metal magazine, this annual event will take place over two days at The Observatory in Santa Ana, California, on Friday and Saturday, Dec. 13-14, 2019, and will “be the loudest, heaviest and most extreme craft beer festival on the West Coast“. As the official amplifier of the festival, Peavey will ensure that the most head-banging moments of the festival are well-articulated, and the riffs are just as tantalizing as the array of delicious craft brews on tap.

There are two universal truths about the respective art forms of metal and beer. First, the final product is the result of quality “ingredients”, technique, and execution. Second, the consumer or audience usually knows what they like and what they want to “taste” more of. Peavey, in their own words, understands these truths from a pro-audio perspective. When true metal tone is the Holy Grail, metal guitarists continue to turn to Peavey for the latest innovations in guitar amplification.

Overall, this is the fifth time Peavey will provide the backline for Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fests, having sponsored the backline for the Philadelphia event since its 2017 inception and for the Los Angeles event that began last year. Peavey will be providing an invective™ half-stack, a 6505 Series half-stack, and a MiniMEGA™1,000-W mini bass amp head and cab.

Peavey artists performing at Metal & Beer Fest: L.A. include Phil Demmel, guitarist of the recently reunited thrash metal band VIO-LENCE, ex Machine Head and stand in guitarist for Slayer last year, who pairs a 6505 head with the Peavey invective.120 guitar amp head, and Todd Jones and Leon Del Muerte of the grinding death machine Nails. The invective.120 is the first high-gain amplifier to deliver pristine cleans, starting with the no-compromise, high-gain performance of the 6505 Series, then adding a level of versatility that is unprecedented in an amp within this class.

Artist to perform include:

Nails

and Intronaut
