:lol:

The TriRec - subtle!

Soul of valves :lol:

Cracks me up every time.

Where do they go when they die?

[JDC]

I can see them shifting a lot of these, mesa might even lower their prices!!! (but I doubt it)

[blue]

how do they get away with it? :)

i'm very tempted by a couple of their amps.  all i hear suggests they sound great, but seem to suffer from terrible reliability issues.

anyone know of anywhere in Northern Ireland that stocks them?

[MisterMuncher]

I think Bairds in Belfast stock a few of them, but I'd have to check.

+1. What cracks me up even more is the fact they're still running with it, despite pretty much every internet forum mercilessly taking the piss out of it.

after LOLling for about 10 minutes at that, then at the fact they cloned Mesas, I got very interested, though. Would be very interested to try some of these (or even the peavey clones, I haven't tried any bugeras yet :( ). Apparently they have something along the line of a matchless, too.

Bairds stocks them? Interesting. Shame it's a bit out of the way (but not the end of the world, either).

I prefer when people put "added tone", "increased tone" or "more tone" on everything. Because tone is quantitative, obviously.  :lol:

I quite liked the description of "almighty 'sag'..." and why people like it.

but what do they sound like is the question......

Bugera...  Those guys are a bunch of Tools...  All those little kids in China handwiring those amps. 

They are not legal in the US, (where I am).  Behringer = Bugera from what I know. The Behringer amps are quite unreliable and don't have a sound that would threaten a Boogie, ENGL, Matchless, Marshall, etc.   There is a pedal called a Triple Wreck from Wampler, on You Tube, that is a dead on beast of a Triple Rectifier tone.  Check it out.  That little thing is packing some serious nads.....

FWIW, I have a few Boogies and playing skill trumps equipment any day. My guitar instructor is a phenom.  He can play his old LP in the crate combo in the studio control room and what comes out sounds great...  That's why he is the instructor  :o

Is there a price differece on equipment from the US to UK?  I had been told by one of my UK friends that Boogies are more expensive over there, more of an amp snob kind of gear.  I got my Single Rec Series 2 head used for $700.  Definitely not in the Gear Snob price range here.  Now Diezel.... that's up in the fat coin range for us.

do you mean that bugera amps are banned in the US??

behringer=bugera is probably a wrong popular belief... they're just distributed by behringer, it seems.
anyway i don't know anything about behringer amps (i just tried the v-amp series and it's quite horrible), but bugeras sound definitely good. i don't know if reliability issues are limited to the 333 series or we'll soon have a lot of souls of dead valves singing in heaven...

The post is a touch over the top Bugera are for sale all over the US, however the Trirec hasn't been tested and passed for sale in the US yet (CSA testing or something like that!).

It's certainly a rip off of course, BUT Hand wired by Children eh, don't ya love the internet.

yeah, mesa are a lot more expensive here, similar to what diezels cost in the US (if not more).

and bugeras are legal in the states, certainly the older ones. The new ones aren't passed yet, but I'm guessing that's to do with safety etc. rather than legality (could be wrong, though).

From the videos I've seen, Bugera's are made by adults in a factory all wearing white jackets and hats. Not kids.

The bugera 6260 sounds very close to a 5150. Though reliability isn't too consistent I think.

For Bugera to do a Mesa clone is great for us in the UK, Mesa's are too expensive for us.
