June 7, 2010, Meridian, MS...On a June day in 1965, a young man walked across a stage to receive his college diploma. Every graduate that day was filled with the hope of a bright future, but this one was different. Hartley Peavey had no aspirations of landing a dream job or working his way up someone else's ladder. In the spirit of the times, he was bound and determined to do "his thing." The previous few years had proven that Hartley's "thing" was building amplifiers (he had already received his first patent by 1964). So on that day, with a few thousand dollars he had scraped together and a logo he had sketched out in high school, Hartley Peavey set up shop in Meridian, MS and Peavey Electronics was born.
