Apart from his custom-built PRS guitars, Pete also owns a Fender Stratocaster, an Ibanez RG and a Gibson Les Paul. Sam Loeffler plays drums and percussion, and Joe Loeffler in backing vocals and bass. In 2005, the band’s bassist, Joe, left. He was replaced by Dean Bernardini. The band was into rock and metal specifically alternative, post-grunge, and nu metal.
To date, Chevelle has already produced 8 albums and has sold over 4 million records across the United States. Aside from this, the band has also released two live albums and a compilation of some of the band’s favorite songs.
It was in 1995, and brothers Pete and Sam’s love for music finally urged them to form a band. Both boys were self-taught in playing the instruments, and later the same year, Joe, the youngest Loeffler, joined the band. The band’s name Chevelle was taken from the car their father liked, the Chevrolet Chevelle.
