Well I thought I knew of most major amp lines, but that's news to me.

I'm pretty sure the original Orange amps were British, but no idea
about the reissues.  Same for Vox, though for the price they're
charging, I hope they're made in some state of the art facility by
enemployed electrical engineers!

Hey, why is it the British make such gonzo amps, but never had a
truly big-time guitar manufacturer. Burns doesn't really count, does
it, not on the scale of Fender, et al/
