Bugera? Rather unfortunate choice of name.

im weary of behringer.
only becuz the first two amps i bought from them crapped out pretty fast, both of them were bass amps, i think from early 2000 or so, but! i do have a pa head and a bass amp from them that have yet to crap out(completely)

I went to go search for these amps, and both times I tried to write the names I misspelled them.
Burgera and Bulgera. Are they a subsidiary of behringer? I think it's rad that they're making affordable tube amps, but I've never trusted behringer's amp reliability.

Was it behringer who used led's next to tubes to give off the "real tube vibe" which was just there to look like the tube was on?

Especially when you consider 4xEL34 cannot equal 150W.

They're not alone in that. Lots of pedals use tubes below their HT voltage so they won't glow. They stick LEDs in there for the pretties.

Hats off to them for making affordable alternatives, but saying that £366 buys you a good reputable amp on the second hand market.
Who the hell needs 150 watts of valve power? Seems pointless to me.

My homeboy Eric works at a music store, and Behringer had some kind of showing at NAMM where they really impressed him with those amps...

150W is all kinds of absurd, especially if yr putting it through a 4x12. Wouldn't be able to get that above 3 with a band.

I question introducing such a big amp right now - it seems like the stack craze is kinda over. I know a lot of the local shops are loaded down with dozens of heads and 4x12s they can't sell. One had a sale over the summer - buy any head and you could get any 4x12 in the store for $150.

i think behringer is a great brand for gear accesories like indeed cheaper headphones, audio interfaces, controllers the lot and then of course fx pedals if you like to experiment a lot and you're on a budget but still want shit to work. for amps.. not so sure, but of course i've never tried bugera or anything. what i can say though is that for instance, hartke, their cheap all valve bass top does the job the way it's supposed to, but the cabs i can imagine aren't all that unless you break cabs a lot and need to keep it affordable to replace.

A lot of ngz really like the other Bugera amps, of course people slam them because they're cheap or whatever.
section 1: bugera 6262
section 2: 5150
section 3 bugera right side, 5150 left.

^This isn't really what I would call a "good tone" anyway, but it shows how similar they are.

I feel good about them making some "marshall clones" the first one looks awesome.
