That Vox 120 on trademe is probably worth about $800. I don't know where they got the NZ pricing for those things from. They can be had new in America for about $us600

So is the new Orange gear REAL Orange gear?

I ask, since I understood the great old name of Vox is REALLY a Korg these days????

I thought maybe some Korean or Chinese firm had bought the rights...

Mmm. I think Vox = Korg now. But then I was told (by a guy who had one) that the Vox wahs are made by Jim Dunlop.

Nah the Orange Crush amps are made in Korea under licence, they are solid state and the only thing that makes them Orange is the name and look everything else is Korean good(bad)ness....
