I'm pretty decided on the Bugera, but I read about some reliability issues..

Guitar Center just started carrying them here in the US. Do you have one near you that you could check?

I have a local store (independent) that Bugera says is a dealer, I emailed them to see if they have any. All the online stores are sold out until Nov 1. I have a gig on the 30th (Oct), and it'd be great if I had an amp by then. Any vendors have some left? I've checked all the major online ones.. Thanks for the help.

I would recommend my amp, but Marshall doesn't make it anymore

I adore the clean channel on my Marshall JTM 30. Unfortunately they are only available on eBay.

A company I know nothing of, here's an Ampeg.

I did a quick google and found some rave reviews of this amp, you guys had any experience?

The knobs are more subtle for sure, but I like it better than extremely sensitive knobs. I have read of other people having reliability issues, but mine has been a champ.

you can buy fender cougar 1000's for like 100 bucks used now.

they made an amp called the ROCPRO 1000 after the performer1000. same guts, uglier box.

Yeah - I'm using it through (don't laugh) an 80s homemade PA non-powered speaker with a 12" peavey in it. It also has 'tweeters' wired up (the difference from an actual cab).

I know it's a bit of a joke. Looking into a cab during the holidays, should I just go with the Bugera 2x12 or are there any other (CHEAP!) options? Thanks.

I just realized this is the first amp I've bought new.

rob what fender amp do I see in all your vids, with the artsy grille?

you should buy my Bugera 4x12, its literally brand spanking new. If you're anywhere near oklahoma that is, shipping would kill us both

Alas, I'm way over in Vermont.

Considering I have very small gigs, I think a 4x12 would obliterate, too.

More speakers doesn't equal more volume.

Hmmm. So he'll need two 412's then?
