OK, just been reading about Bugera's new amp line with Infinium....which is supposed to be some kind of voodoo witchcraft self biasing magic thing. Just throw in your valves and the amp will set its Bias and maintain it over the life of the valves without having to touch anything. What do we think? What's going on inside this thing???

Well, there are a few of their amps that do it but check out this!!
I don't understand any of this stuff, but the new 1960 with INFINIUM TECHNIULOGIES looks great.

Behringer continue to clean up.
Depends entirely on what it really sounds like of course, but this looks pretty crazy.
I heard that they were considering jumping into the hardware synth market. I imagine Minimoog and Korg clones for as low as £250 and I start to sweat a little bit.

EVen the orinals of these sounded pretty dmaned good so I am looking forward to it. Like alot of new products (especially imprt knock offs) I would not buy one of the first runs though. They tend to have issues initially. Of course that is not limited to them. The Marshall class 5's were noisy/rattly as fuck initially but they took care of that pretty quick.

How do they do that, constant current source or something? Somebody science this up for me.

Now that looks interesting. If you can throw it in any amp.......
It doesn't say anything about the external version, but they're going to start fitting it into the rockerverb 100 amps. I'd love to see something like this for their bass amps. If they did that I'd sell my ampeg and buy the Orange AD200 in a heartbeat! No more $300 re-tubing costs!
