Hi folks. Love these little amps.
While Blackheart Eng is based in the U-S, is production also done here?
If so, that would make them even more attractive to me. I try to support the domestics if possible.
I'm eyeballing the Little Giant setup:D

GO GIANTS!!

Crate Amps (who Blackheart is affiliated with) are manufactured in Puerto Rico.

Just get one and you wont be sorry no matter where they are made.
Be sure to check out a lot of sound clips before you get a cabinet for it if you decide to go with the head/cab version. In my opinion the BH cabinet sounds really boxy and Marshall like. With a different speaker more varieties of tones seem to be accessible. I use a 120 watt Eminence speaker in a ported cabinet and like the sound a lot. I'm sure other cabinets have their strong points as well.

The combo box I just recieved says "Engineered in the USA, made in China."

Same with my Epi SoCal half stack. I believe Pytor Belov helped design them both.
