It is widely believed. My friend says, he saw the signature inside the machine 'Made in China'.

Interesting.
The Fx8 not the Mark II is sure made in USA ?
I now that on the AX8 page they write that it all made in the US

I am sure FAS sources hardware everywhere like any tech company and most all of it is from Asia.
Maybe they assemble it here.
I don't care. It is great build quality.

I have built PC's from the ground up for decades. All of the parts I use are made in Asia unless it is an INTEL CPU from a FAB plant in US.

It is the way it is. You cannot buy a USA made TV these days and the build quality is excellent on most brands.

Well I agree,
Almost every electronics or part of it made in Asia this days.
Just wondering about the build changes from FX8 to FX8 MARK II ,

I had a mki and currently have a mkii. I didn't notice any difference in build quality between the two. This thread describes the changes introduced in the mkii: https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/announcing-fx8-mark-ii-multi-fx-pedalboard.115531/

Supposedly the MKII has lower noise floor and there is some added feature with instrument input level setting.
I have a MKII. It is quiet and works great, but I am guessing the MK I is equally as good in use.
