I like how they use "hand built" as a bullet point, as if they could be built by anything but. We've all seen the ridiculous assembly-line videos of the Behringer factory -- to say "hand built" is doing a great disservice to the workers. "Arthritically crafted" I think gets us a bit closer.

Do wonder how they all sound though. Pretty strange to see how ProGuitarShop.com stock a few Bugeras, as they usually stick to boutique-ish stuff.

Some of the Bugera stuff looks and sounds pretty nice. I'd love to try some, but I haven't seen any of these for sale in any local shops here in the states. How new are these?

These actually look good. I don't have any experience with badcat amps, but if they're matchless rips that would be good because Matchless amps were very good.

wtf kind of name Is Bugera? It sounds like an Italian coach builder that makes sports cars shaped like wangs.

It's a horrible name. Even if they were called Wang-Co it would be better.

It's just too close to "buggerer".

Or is it supposed to be pronounced Boojera or something stupid?
