THE ORIGINAL PEAVEY Wolfgang model, developed by and for Eddie Van Halen in 1995 and discontinued in 2004 when Ed left Peavey to start his own EVH brand, was one of the Mississippi company’s biggest successes. That success continued when the model immediately re-emerged afterwards as the HP 2, with HP paying tribute to the company’s founder Hartley Peavey. After a brief hiatus from the market, Peavey resurrected the HP 2 in 2017 only to run into production challenges at its USA factory in 2019. In late 2020 the company announced that production resumed, but now the HP 2 was being built in Europe. Demand for the model has been so high that it took us nearly two years to get one for review, but rest assured it was worth the wait.

New Jersey derives much of its water from New York’s Catskill Mountains. Low in calcium and magnesium, it’s a naturally soft water that’s ideally suited for bread flour. And, of course, that means it’s also a crucial component in the making of New Jersey pizza, which everybody knows is the best in the United States. (Oh, you wanna argue about it? How about this?
