Musical Merchandise Review (MMR) has covered the music products industry since 1879, including new products and other industry developments. Its annual Dealers' Choice Awards are determined through feedback provided by retailers across the U.S.

The Peavey exhibit was a hive of activity, with noteworthy artists such as Slipknot, Nickelback, Default, Atreyu, Memento and CKY stopping by to sign autographs, and Joe Satriani, George Lynch, Stu Hamm, Visqueen, Chelsea Constable and many others commanding the stage in the Peavey Artist Performance Theater.
