This is certainly an interesting rumor. Im assuming you dont plan on revealing your source, but without that information this is pure speculation.

well, it IS a rumor. since someone said it – on another well known gear forum that i (and some other of you) frequent. that person seemed to have info from the egnater camp (i.e. namm booth).

i have no clue about shit. but it IS an interesting rumor. right?

Please post topic!If true,I probably should ask more for my Mod100 :D
 
At first, I thought this guy had never even heard of the MOD series stuff, from comments like:

"They also showed a Modular Head on the Namm stand. Again due later this year with around 8 Modules being available from the start........"

"The head will only hold 3 Modules.
You will be able to choose from 'around 8 of them'.
I have some images. I'll post them later."

But then he does reconfirm:

"No. There will be Modular Amps available from China later this year."

That being said, the Mod100 that they had on display was 100% USA made, that we know for a fact - because it was Aeroic's old Mod100.

Whether or not production of the Mod series moving overseas is still a rumor, at best.

Yep...that Mod100 was definitely a 100% USA made amp. I bought it from rareguitar, and now Bruce has it. That was definitely my old Mod100.
As for the Chinese remarks. Who knows. I haven't heard anything official from Bruce, and until we do, it's basically speculation.
 
I dont think there will be a confirmation on that, until if it does happen.

It is to hot of a topic to come out and say for any USA amp builder or other product "hey, yes we are going to take our USA made amp and let China build them". A no win situation for both sides to argue about. If you have your amp line selling at Guitar Center and making a great profit over what your USA built stuff has done then in a financial stand point for his family and later generations to come then it makes sense.

The only positive is it will be more affordable for most people, choice of modules might increase and cost less (depending on how they are built, might not be as easy to mod), Gives the builder more time to design and come out with new amps and would probably increase the hell out of the value of the USA versions, it would also free up the designer/builder to have more of a life and enjoy it.

I would hope so if that is the case :thumbsup:
 
This is all very interesting, speculation or not.

Whether or not the speculation is true:

1. Good for Bruce & Jeff - I wish you all the success;
2. For purely selfish reasons, I would hope the USA custom shop stays open and "as-is."

I think a big reason to go Egnater is the service that a small amp company can provide over a large-scale manufacturer. The option of being able to talk to Mr. Egnater himself or Jeff Hilligan is HUGE luxury and is, I'm sure, a main draw to the amp line. I mean, when was the last time Jim Marshall told you why he added a certain diode to the later model JCM 800s?

No matter what direction Egnater decides to go (and it's really THEIR business, not mine) I would hope that the service from the USA HQ remains how it has been in the past (save recent reports) - stellar.

I've tried for well over a month to talk to Bruce or Jeff on the phone. I even left a message that was never returned. I also sent Frank two emails w/o a reply. This was in regards to having my T/D modded to a D/D. I can get a hold of the TM side of Egnater w/o a problem. I sure hope this improves in the future.

Yeah, I think you came into the fold at a time when Egnater is in a growth period (at least that's my take).

Jeff Hilligan was a daily poster on here for a LONG time and Egnater was very easy to contact/get help from. They were kicking out SL2x/GnR mods like crazy a few months back and were very active in threads. Experiences like yours --in my experience being on this board -- are not typical. Hope normalcy returns soon.

BTW...heard your clips. Your playing is SICK!!
 
Thanks for the compliment. RockStarNick is going to mod my T/D to a D/D. I bought a TM2x12 from GC that was damaged so I returned it. I'm buying aeroic's TM 2x12 loaded with Weber 12F150/12F150T speakers. It also has the Randall Mic Eliminator. I should be getting some nice Fender tones with this setup. I'm hoping that it will also sound good with the VX. If not I may pick up a COD and do the all out Fender thang.
