			IIRC Earth amps were inexpensive amps that copied Fender designs.  ISTR hearing people say that they can sound good, but they were built with less attention to detail than the Fenders and maybe cheaper parts and may be more inclined to have problems.  That's a semi-vague recollection.  You might try doing a Google advanced groups search for posts about Earth amps on alt.guitar.amps
