I can assure everyone Studio amps are completely made in the UK factory. Last time I was there I was watching the boards of SV20's be populated (by machine) with components, then on to the solder bath. However, I'm betting the Origin amps are manufactured in exactly the same way with probably the same components, just in Vietnam.Right - I felt really “duped” by Marshall. No issue with the build quality of Vietnam. But for the fact that they charge 3x the price of an Origin but they seemingly use similar components and construction. Maybe the headshell is truly made in England on the Studio series? Even if that’s the case, in effect just you’re paying for the little Union Jack sticker on the back.
