How Orange Amps are made (China Edition) 

ORANGE GIRL POWER at China! Love to know the amps I love most are made by the hands of competent women! Thank you Orange for showing us your truth

Very neat. Very clean. No crying, half starved children working, dressed in rags under oil lamps. Not one person got caned in the entire video! Not exactly what we all imagine when we hear about Chinese manufacturing practices. Impressive.

Nice to see behind the scenes...Respect for hard-working people of China

I am really suprised - this is very clean factory, working conditions are far better than most of the people can expect and the product quality is very good. Pay these people well, they deserve it!

fascinating !!!!!!! everyone there looked pretty relaxed and well...... it appears that Orange isnt running a "sweatshop" operation, my commendations and praise to Orange !!!!! have Nike and Apple and Hallmark posted videos of their China factories ???? ok, enough of the "humanitarian" observations of mine..... i LOVE my Orange Rocker 15 Terror.... it makes me proud to have guys with 50w heads ask me to "maybe turn down just a little"....! THANK YOU China !!!!! THANK YOU ORANGE !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you ladies for building my Terror Bass.

How very strange, I bought a chinese made Micro Dark and I wondered how they were made and this video gets released. Very interesting to watch, I know some people get really funny about MiC products but they are complaining whilst on RU-vid on their iPhone which is made where now....? Good video Orange, loving the amp as well

Very cool to see where all my Orange amps come from! Thanks for sharing!

Loved that you guys used 1000mods as a background track for this!

I always love these types of videos. Orange is life!!

Never doubted your Chinese manufactured products. Thank you for the further insight. 🍊🧡

I have a CR60C, impressive manufacturing quality, and awsome sound. No matters where the factory is, it is a very good factory, and it is made by persons. Waiting to buy for the CR60C MKII if sometimes exists!

Amazing that shop looked as good if not better than the American or some British based shops that charge a huge premium for where the amps made....and the staff looked well trained and HAPPY....really helped to better understand what Orange is all about!! Amazing video and amazing products

This is the birthplace of my beautiful Orange Crush 20 RT and Crush 120 Pro.......Great to see this Orange! Fantastic amps!!

Nice video. Someday consider Mexico as a manufacturer, we have very good workmanship in the manufacture of tube amps, at the level of the United States. regards.

Good video !!! It's nice to see how it's done at the Orange Amp facility in China. Thanks Orange !

I have a Jim Root #4, Th30 and a Cr120. All made in China and all are top quality and none have had any issues and run perfectly. I really enjoyed seeing how they are hand soldering. Thanks for the video.

Thank you ladies!

I use the pedal baby 100 and love it, my wife uses the bass crush 50 and loves it! Great amps, good quality and excellent sound quality, made by a company taking care of its workers, win win win.

After listening a bit too much to The Sword I bought a Razorback and an Orange Crush20 RT and learned Guitar. That was 4 years ago. Now I am in a Heavy/Stoner Band, also got a beautiful SG, but the Orange still kicks Nuts. Love it and thanks for showing it's origin

What an awesome video. Orange sets the bar again. Most impressive. Waiting on my OR15 built by these wonderful people.

Wow every single thing is done by hand!! I now have even more patience! Been waiting on my super crush 100 combo for about 2 months now but it’ll be worth it look at that quality workmanship!!! Girl power 💪🏽

I love my 1×12 With celestion speaker. It sounds heavenly.

The professionalism and skill of these women really shines through. Looks like a clean, safe facility. I'm really impressed when companies like Orange spotlight their overseas operations; it shows they not only value these employees, but that they're proud of the products coming out of these operations. Paul Reed Smith recently posted a similar video of their facility in Surabaya, Indonesia, which produces the SE line of guitars. I'm proud to both own a PRS SE and an Orange 20RT--and they go great together!

i love my Crush Mini and my 35LDX. these women are awesome. thank you, Orange, for making your products affordable for us all 🤘👍

something for the suggestion box: For the safety of your employees assembling and handling the product, additional PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) such us working gloves with rubber palms would highly improve their safety and confidence in handling the factory equipment.

I love my orange crush 12...It has a great sound and I love single channel amps with the volume gain and overdrive knobs...the only thing I did is mod a speaker out to play through my 2x10(8ohm) cab which has orange VOTW gold speakers.

Made in China for that "British" sound lol. Seriously though, Orange amps are awesome and I LOVE mine. I just thought that was funny :). Kinda like when I worked a p/t corporate job many years ago and on 4th of July they put little American flags on our cubicles that said on the side "made in Taiwan"" LOL. Keep up the great work! Orange Rocks!

Most of them are cute!😍 what an awesome and efficient job. I’ve never had a bad product from Orange.

Wow awesome 👌

Cool tour. Now they just need to ship one to me. :^)

1000mods! Nice!

Good people living under a repressive communist regime...hopefully,they'll be free someday

Glad to know my 35RT is made by the delicate yet strong hands of these hard working ladies. I'm just hope they pay well:-7

Speaking as an Orange customer you better be paying those staff well. Let’s see the place when they were not expecting a camera crew to turn up??

1000MODS !!!!

Which one makes the Gain pots? I want to ask why the Gain doesn't come on until halfway up?

This video is very clever but with that in mind it still has completely re-installed my faith in the Orange products manufacured in PRC (China). I also admire the transparency that Orange and reputable manufacturers that dont try to hide. It took me years to get over that fact my Fender Telecaster I bought aged 17 in 1988 was made in Japan. I found out eventually the Japanese Tele's are regarded better for a variety of reasons than the USA . I've only the budget for an Orange PC212OB that im about to buy and have no problem with the model being made in PRC. Away from music I remember my Dad in the mid 80s asking me "What car should I buy, that you like?". I said a Ford XR3. He replied, "i'm not buying one of those, thay are made in Daggenham, Essex by a UK team that probably dont really care about their production line!". But he DID buy an XR3. It was riddled with build problems from the start and over the few years we had it it never recovered and even started rusting in those few years! He bought an Audi after that :D

I appreciate Orange's honesty and transparency...These days, 95% of today's musical electronics are manufactured in China or SE Asia.

You wouldn't know these ladies making amps when you meet them in random places like market or bus stop :-) I couldn't even solder properly

Have you ever noticed that when it comes to meticulous work, no matter what country amps and other equipment are made in, it’s usually almost always women doing the work? Like Seymour Duncan pickups in the US, most of the winders are women. Seymour’s legendary pickup winder is Maricela “MJ” Juarez. Her pickups are highly sought after. It seems women have the patience and manual dexterity to do this work. So, my hats off to all the great women cranking out fantastic gear for all of us!

So cool. Which one of these ladies is the Chinese version of Marhsall's ROSEMARY?

Well, I'm very pleased that people looks focussed on the operations and how it flows, but being critical it calls my attention that there's no static control, the cardboard or bubble wrap to cover the tabletops are not the best friends of electronics, I'll rather work more on the pieces handling, the stacking of boards is just a bad thing again for electronics, I liked the test stations being ran by experienced operators and following the given steps. As manufacturing stand point I didn't saw any work instruction or visual instruction just a diagram of components layout, it is good to relay on experienced operators, but for QC or business continuity is just a high risk, the well documented processes will ensure the QC and business continuity. Again, this is only my point of view and a lot of opportunities to improve, please don't hate me but High Quality means High Standards and this is the key for the customer satisfaction.

It seems pretty much the same handmaking process of English Orange Amps, using the same materials, but in China and in a much larger scale. Interesting.

That’s where my th30 came from; it’s an absolute beast 💪🏼 wish I could do it justice

I ordered two 12inch ORANGE bass cabinets and just received them today. I opened the first one pulled it out and it looked great, opened the second box pulled the cabinet out and heard a rattling noise coming from the inside of the cabinet. I shifted it and maneuvered it in a way that I was able to reach in through the port hole in the back of the cab and grabbed what ever was rattling. To my surprise it was a freakin piece of chicken bone?! I was like dude no way!! It could have been a bone of another animal, but was 100% an animal bone. Has anyone ever experienced something like this before? I really don’t know what to think of it, but I will be calling ORANGE tomorrow.

My guess is that even the UK made Orange amps are largely picking from the same parts bins and the biggest difference is very likely the assembly being done by hand either in China or in England that is determining which "made in x" inscription it gets. There is no legal threshold for Made in England outside of final assembly, major change or majority of materials be sourced from the UK to be marked as Made there.

I will be buying first amp the Crush20 Black. Just trying to figure a way to convince her if I can get one now😜

High Orange! I would like to buy a replacement speaker for my orange crush 35RT..if you can comment on this and I will give my details. Thanks!

That is a cool video

wait, which amp made in China has 12 ax 7 preamp tubes and no stencil on the front. ?

Amazing. The QC is on point. #wishgranted Bax Bangeetar

Looking at the Gate of the plant, it seems there are characters 嘉兴橙乐电子有限公司. So the address is 嘉兴嘉善县惠民街道开发区路55号. Just 70 km from Shanghai.

Love my 35RT, but have a concern after watching this. Electronic components, IC chips, ... How come they're not utilizing Electro-Static Discharge practices to prevent component damage which could result in failure at one to two years downstream? Gloves, cardboard, and plastic can induce ESD.

Amp doesn't really need craftsmanship like guitar. So basically it can be assembled anywhere in the world. If one need to be concerns, it has to be the materials used, from glue, screws, frames to motherboard, no, they are not the same at different country even the mfg spec is the same. We fought many quality cases with customer on their AVL when they decide to change country of supplies from the same supplier.

My orange crush is very very well made. I believe I'm about to buy your tremlord 30

My BIG question is: Does an orange color Orange Cabinet sound different than a black color Orange cabinet?

Not quite what I expected to see but cool ending.

Dog bless all these people!!! Im getting an Orange because of them!!! Orange...they better be making a solid wage!!!

Jesus bless you ladies!!!

A factory that employs all women in the electronics section ( which is why labour is cheap ) and the men load up the trucks.

Thank you for this video, it was really cool to see where my Terror Bass was born!

The guy waving to the camera at 2:25 lol

Orange Amps: I really think it's great that you can bring affordable amps to the masses through your chinese plant. My only complaint is with the chinese made vintage 30 speakers. I have an absolutely amazing rockerverb 100 mkiii made in england amp. I struggle buying the matching cabinet knowing there are chinese made speakers in the cabinets. I'm sure they sounding exactly the same but it's still annoying.

Wish these were jobs in the US

glory to the PRC bruh

Yeah… how’s that working out now?

I’m impressed to see they were all female workers.

If there made in china why do u charge so much for them yours amps and cabinets are not really better then most higher end amps and cabinets like my ampeg svt cl with matching 8×10 cabinet i paid $3000 for both for your head and cab together %5000 or $5600 and its not as loud as my svt maybe just as clear so plz tell me what justifies this cost?

I like amps

It's awesome how Western countries shipped their work to China to get the job done.

China has change since my last stay 26 years ago for adoption. I like the Chinese folks! They are the best!!

Lol trying to make those poor sobs from the prc look like they love what their doin. Probably saved on those factories in the UK were they have to pay people.

All I know is my foreign-made Les Paul is a much better quality build than my USA-made one :/ And the foreign-made one was a little over $1000 dollars cheaper

I had 2 orange amps made in china so disappointed in quality save your money and get a matamp

Looks like all China-made amps are going to have MDF cabinets?

I saw who put weak input on my orange amp

I was going to pass on the 100W 15" Bass combo when I found out they were made in China. Orange's website stresses made in England. I am still on the fence but at least this video helps address some of my concerns. I originally wanted the Ampeg combo but saw China on it and passed. I did find that the Boss combo's are built in Malaysia.. At least these workers look like they are well treated but the CCP is so disgusting and evil and doing business there rewards them. China is undergoing some huge turbulence at the moment.

I can’t even lie, I got another Orange amp head in the mail today and as soon as I seen “Made In China” it made me want to return it. The quality and desirability is never the same with China made things. And I definitely believe the product manufacturing should be kept where it came from

Too bad these products are not being made in the UK.

It omes with corona virus

Makes me wish I was wearing rexine underpants.

Better PPE and more comfortable chairs, please.

When is the new Orange Corona coming out?

I imagine you produce them in China so you have lowered costs of manufacture. Then why you sell them in the price of an ENGLISH made Marshall or an American made Fender?

Mandarin factory

#wishgranted Orange Rocker15 Terror

Marshall 10 watt amp is 1000% better then your 12 watt amp Fr 😹😹💯💯🙏🙏

My orange Crush20rt is died afrer a year. and its falling down. Power is on but doesn't coming out any sound through jack or speaker. Huge disappointment 😪

aside from a couple dudes at the end, the factory was almost completely populated by women, which is interesting

All girls? What about them boys?

It's still a sweat shop with underpaid women. Just remember, this is what they're letting you see.

Too many amps !

I hope you are paying those female workers decently

I dont know how it is in China but why does it seem like every time I see a Chinese electronics factory the majority or workers are only women

i don't see any slavedrivers of any kind here,how can this be?😁

How about employ people from your own country and support the economy instead of greedily choosing to produce amps in China.

Made in China and still outrageously expensive

Hope they don't sneeze anywhere LOL
