US made amps/heads?

[heath_r_91]

If you buy an Orange cabinet in the states it was made in the U.S.

Their heads are all made in England, though.

About 1/2 is .. the Megastores are to blame for this trend.

I had an interesting phone talk on a USA gear manufacturer talking about what has happened to the industry.

Peavey VB-2, made in USA, in Meridian Missisippi. Misissipi. No, wait, Mississippi. Oh well.

Peavey makes alot of stuff here in the US.

Now, it's time for the old Peavey VB_2 made in China vs U.S. arguments to start.

The RB series amps and the Fusion 550 are still made in California. Backlines in G-K's owned and operated factory in China. G-K makes 99% of their own speakers (not out-sourced). Can't say for positive but I believe some of artist series speaker cab boxes are made at the China factory and assembled here in the US.

Add it to the list.

Not true... I have an OBC115 made in the UK & another built in the US. Other than the label and 1/4" jacks you can't tell them apart.

[heath_r_91]

It depends on the year.

If it is a recent one, it is US made. I'm not sure of the date when they started building cabs in the US but it wasn't that long ago.
