Only the Heritage stuff is made in the USA and the cost for them is about two grand. Still, that is a top of the line valve bass head for a grand. It is a great deal. If you want a made in USA VR you will have to look used, probably have to pay more and have no warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbytodd Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) when I spoke to the online sales person he assured me it was a u.s head and I should really buy it straight away because u.s heads are rare and that one was a steal Edited January 1, 2019 by bobbytodd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprising from Guitar Guitar as their staff usually know their stuff. Sorry to hear that they gave you false information, I would be annoyed as well.

W1_Pro Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 The picture that they have with the online ad is a US made device. So if they are advertising the amp as one thing and selling a device which is different, thats mis- selling surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told is was Usa, new old stock If I knew it was going to be Chinese I wouldn’t have gone for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolf Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I’m tempted as never owned a proper SVT - it’s just the phenomenal weight (38kg) that puts me off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 You can pick up used USA SVTs for around £600, wait a while and these non-USA Ampeg’s will be very very cheap. The days of big tube heads are sadly behind us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bam Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 is there really any difference where its made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
