Hi Left73. Welcome to 18 watt.com.
Sorry but I have not seen anything about Chinese Marshall clones. No one else has jumped in so I suspect that i am not alone. I will now go and hunt down some info.

Re: Foreign made Marshall 18watt Tremolo Amps
Hello there. I have been playing various guitars through an all tube Peavey Bravo 112 that I purchased new. I sometimes play through a zoom multi effects floor unit or a Marshall Govnor stomp box overdrive pedal. I have seen the Marshall reproduction Bluesbreaker Amps but at very costly prices the Clones offered by kit builders seem a great option. Thank you.

Re: Foreign made Marshall 18watt Tremolo Amps
Well I had a quick browse. There seem to be lots of options. So I looked at a company I have heard of "Grandmusical" which is really Shenzhen, a well known company. I have a pal who has built numerous of their guitar kits (but does a lot of prep on them). So as a trader they seem sound.
They offer an 18 watt TMB hand wired amp which looks well made. But until you play it you don't really know. The price is roughly USD500 it seems before postage and import costs. The big questions for me are the quality of components and how warranty issues are handled.
So I would see it as a bit risky. But I can offer no opinion not knowing the product. I will ask about on other forums to see what comes back.

Re: Foreign made Marshall 18watt Tremolo Amps
Hello there. I have exchanged a few emails with the Shenzen Company on the Made in China Website and I am thinking of placing an order for one of the Amplifers in Head configuration or the chassis configuration and either making a combo amp or just having a speaker cab built. I have been looking at plans to build a combo amp box and found some plans online. Anyone with experience with some of the companies that offer cabinets and such please I am looking for feedback and reputable companies to deal with? Thank you.

Re: Foreign made Marshall 18watt Tremolo Amps
I got a kit from a company called Mable Audio out of China. The kit was actually really nice. It has no instructions and it uses basic parts, but as far as I can tell is as good as any OEM option there is. The turret board had 1 turret in the wrong spot for the particular layout I was using. I can't remember which one it was but I'm pretty sure it was the Tube Depot layout and schematic I went with.
The amp sounds amazing and is a blast to play. I believe it came out to just under $400 after shipping. I am not sure how it works now with the whole tariff thing going on, but the basic price is still the same. It shipped pretty quickly to me too! I believe in less than two weeks.

Just be careful with the Mable transformers, I used them for a few months and then they started failing by the box load. no aftersales service
