Why did Eddie Van Halen leave Peavey? In this episode, we dive into the real story behind Eddie's departure from Peavey in 2004, taking the iconic 5150 amp and Wolfgang guitar with him to launch EVH with Fender. According to a new Guitar World interview with Peavey CEO Courtland Gray, Joe Satriani’s endorsement deal may have played a key role in Eddie’s decision to walk away. Was Eddie upset that Peavey signed another guitar legend? Did the launch of the JSX amp cause friction? We'll break down the timeline, the behind-the-scenes tensions, and how this split shaped the future of EVH gear.
