chuck shuldiner made a marshall sound good by using a dimarzio X2N to drive it to hell... so i figure the way to get power out of mine is uber high output, thus im investing in a tubescreamer, and a guitar with some warpigs  :twisted:
my maxon OD 808 really DOES make poop sound good

Funny thing is I thought it sounded cr@p when Kerry King played it, but when Chris George played it I thought it was pretty good. Either way, that amp isnt really a typical Marshall sound by any means imo.

Kerry wasn't playing, just spewing out chords, and the sound was being picked up by a shitety TV microphone, placed a long way away from the speakers.
I suspect Chris George's clip was VERY nicely mic'd up in an envirnment with ideal acoustics... and of course a BKP nailbomb :wink:

Funny you don't think of the KK'800 as typically marshall - I would.

All things considered, it's a bit much to call any Amp a knock-off or rip-off of another. All valve amps are essentially variations on three or four old RCA circuits for audio amplifiers. They might have more tubes in one bit, or varied values of resistors or whatever, but they all come from the same source, ultimately. Even Marshalls started out as a jerry-built "knock off"/homage to the Bassman using the components available, the Bassman itself being a small variation of a design for Audio amplification that had been knocking about since god was a boy.

Circuit wise, there's not that huge a variety of things going on in valve amps. The differences come about through quality of components and selection of Resistors, caps, valves and Transformers to suit a tone. If the Brugera amps have decent components, they'll sound good (or at least, like what they're meant to sound like), if they don't, they won't.

it's the reliability that most of us are concerned about.... i think they will sound badass, but may have reliability issues.

http://music.megagoo.com/5150-bugera-test.mp3

Clip from a guy on HC first part is bugera only second 5150 then the 5150 left bugera right....

The Bugera was the 6262 which is similar to the 5150 II so the tone would be slightly different...

I can't wait to test one out I thinkI prefer the look of the bugera's...
