If you look carefully at the above large image you can see "Crate" on the trim below the input jack.

Interesting. At the prices listed in the Harmony Central article, they would have to be made in Asia, most likely China. I've heard speculation that they are made in the same factory as the Valve Junior, the 1x12" extension cabinet certainly looks like the VJ 1x12" extension cabinet.

I'd like to hear one of them.

That is very interesting, Tung. I would like to try one myself, too. I sure like the price!:)

Is that the same guy who did the Epi Blues Custom 30 design? Seems to me I remember Bloozcat mentioning a Russian name....

Belov also designed the Dragster under his own amp company, Belov Amps:

And I believe he desinged a few amps for Gibson as well. Busy guy :)
