Title: Bugera amps
Post by: silentrage on March 26, 2008, 05:05:47 PM
I know this has been discussed in the past, but I figure I'd try and find out your opinion or experiences with the new amps now that they've been out for a while?
I've heard rave reviews and horror stories but I think I trust and value the opinions of people on this board better than any other forum.

So if you've  heard one or played one, do tell!

I'm thinking they are way too good for the money, because according to almost everyone, they have nice punchy / shimmering cleans and a mean distortion.
Add to that the versatility with basically 3 channels, compatibility with EL34s and FX loop on the higher end models, they must be cutting corners somewhere to sell them at those prices.

they're still damn tempting though. ;)

I've heard a couple of bad stories. Mainly one of the caps blowing. But alot of people have said they're good amps and even match the 5150 in terms of tone. They have come out over here in the UK yet, but I'm eager to try one out.

There are some on YouTube.

This is a pretty good one, but his cack-tacular camera drowns out his voice sometimes.
