I noticed that all advertisements from Ampeg are now devoid of the "Made in the USA" label.

Were all Ampeg amps previously made in the USA?

I believe so John,,

All of my Ampeg products have the "Made in the USA" tag on them.

We'll have to wait and see what the quality control is for their Chinese products. Offhand, I don't think it's as much where an item is produced as it is what lengths the company goes to to ensure the final product is a quality one. One day I may need a bigger amp and I hope Ampeg will still be worth buying.

ABC=American Born Chinese. I was asked this by a guy who was working at the China pavilion @ Disney World.
