Are the Tourmaster and/or Renegade really going to be made in the U.S. now? I thought it was just the Detroit amp.Bucksears":3l1reaxx said:1meanplexi":3l1reaxx said:I do not what I am more excited about, the new Detroit Series or Egnater bringing back production to the US !!!!!!!
I'm in the latter of the two, only because I'd love a USA-made Tourmaster or Tourmaster HG!
But that Detroit 40 is the business; definitely can hold its own with other mini heads.

I would agree, but the HG line was not even officially released (no real marketing/ads for it) and has yet to ship.
I agree. That was a disaster.Len Rabinowitz":22ymp267 said:I think they are trying to avoid what happened with the Vengeance and Armageddon- "announced" on the website, and then about 2 years before they actually arrived in stores.

In the case of Egnater amps, USA made sure does mean high QC. I've owned several of Bruce's amps made by him, and they are incredibly well made.Waxhead":20a5tayp said:1meanplexi":20a5tayp said:I saw the clip and was blown away.

I hope the US made one's are as great as the Chinese models.
Made in US does not often = high QA/QC
Unfortunately they'll be lots more expensive though

Wake up USA, these other country's are kickin our ass and laughing all the way to the bank. I hope not to offend anyone, just my humble American opinion. I think on paper, China owns us now, right?

Well join the rest of the world then.
For 50 yrs the USA has owned most other countries - their land, economy, oil, dependence on aid etc.
You still own many.
In Australia in the 1980's there was despair that Japan was buying up half our country.
They tried but we turned out to be too big and their economy went down the tubes anyway.
Now we're concerned about China too.
Chinese Corps are now buying up Aussie ranches that are bigger than many US states (no exaggeration).
They're doing that everywhere so welcome to normal business as usual when you're not the No 1 world economy and big brother decides to take over.
Let's see what the Detroit RRP prices are in the USA.
If Detroit 40 is anymore than around $700 (current price for a Rebel 30) we can probly attribute the mark up to MIA.
Detroit 18 should be around Rebel 20 price = $550
