Anyone have any thoughts on BUGERA heads?

I'm tempted by the jcm900 clone http://www.thomann.de/ie/bugera_1990.htm

TBH its fairly fucking cheap and theres a recession on and I need to get my arse in gear..I do not want to play another show without my own 100w(min) amp...

they're behringers line of tube amps. supposed to be decent, but it's still essentially a behringer amp, hence the price. i remember being quite surprised seeing someone quite famous using a bugera combo at a gig and it sounding really nice.

i'd say it's a decent option.

Well,Martin Nolan says the valves were never replaced so yer man lied to me,so thats not great.The input is dodgy(which I was happy to accept and get fixed).....

He says it'll cost 200 to put right....

source the valves yourself, you'll save money, and then just get martin to install them and give the amp the once over. should save yourself a load of money.
get a matched quad of these:

go back to the guy you bought it from and see if you can get €50 back, if he's a dick about it, he's a dick. that amp is still a great deal. you'll be up and running in no time.

shit buzz though.

He won't fit other people's valves, can't give them any guarantee.

that's bollocks if it's a cathode biased amp then it's essentially self basing and you just pop those bad-boys in and away ya go!
you can't guarantee valves anyway,like I said they're akin to light-bulbs,these things just go sometimes

Marty gauranteed the valves...he gets them off Marshall.He gave her a clean bill of health.Fuck Yeah!

Edit..I asked him about replacing the valves with spurious ones offa the net.He said no,it would have to be biased..which he was happy to do.

I did not know that he was the official Marshall tech in Ireland.I had a very interesting convo with him.Having never before owned a valve amp he gave me the down low on how to treat it etc...plus two of the old valves still had a bit of life in em so he gave me them with instructions on how to fit them in an emergency.

I'm a happy little rocker tonight yo!
