Well.....I have to say, love'em or hate'em, this guy has two stones in his sack for coming on and not taking the proverbial fuck it, what are a few opinions/facts going to matter in the big picture. My statement here is not in his defense. Just an appreciation.

Now, let's see if we can get Fortin to mod one of these fuckers :D ! Peace!

Bugera should have a suggestions page.. I have no issues with their amps. I do question a JCM900 clone and wonder why they would not have gone 800 with a switchable gain stage but that's just me.

Some other interesting facts (I hope anyway:)
- Company failure rates are far below 1%
- BUGERA amplifiers come with a 3-YEAR warranty, the longest warranty in the industry.
- We have a NEW! CARE CENTER in the US, and they have an ample supply of parts and expert technical information.

Given that MUSIC Group is ISO 9001:2008 certified, surely you can with confidence tell us what the actual product failure rate is, since warranty, customer satisfaction and control of nonconforming product are all required aspects of the certification?

As a certified lead auditor as well as an unrepentant gearhead, I'm very curious about this...
 
So other amps are built in the same Behringer/Bugera factory?

VPIADIVISION:
BUGERA amplifiers are currently built in the same factory as some of the most reliable and prestigious brands in the world (all of the MUSIC Group brands are manufactured in the same place).

Joe Sanborn:
When you build products in such high quantities such as BUGERA with extremely low margins, you have to watch the quality of your components even more as the slightest problem can wipe out all your profit. This is the reason why we own our factory and don’t leave manufacturing to any third party that does not care as much as we do about quality.

Hey, I am not getting involved in the pissing contest, but I purchased two 1990 Infiniums (JCM900 clone) around Christmas time as they were on sale for a killer price. I have played the hell out of them for the last 6 months...they sound fantastic and have been rock solid. I did register online for the 3 year warranty...but I have been very happy with the amps so far, and I have had a lot of amps...from budget to high dollar. I think they have upped their game in the QC and support department. Just saying...

The 1990 is supposed to be "all tube" as opposed to using op-amps in the preamp for distortion like the 900DR. But they sound almost exactly alike to me. I wouldn't mind comparing the circuits, just out of curiosity though.

Music group bought out Midas sound, who are know for their mixers. My friend has a Midas sound/behringer mixer and its awesome. It's one music group product I can recommend without reservation. Check them out, they are nice mixers.
 
Blackba... Thanks! I had never heard of any of those companies other than Boogera and Mehringer... I have kind of been looking for a cheap mixer to do some drum tracking... Might look into that
 
Holy shit... There isn't a piece of electronic equipment in the world that is truly worth that kind of money... Not in my eyes anyway lol

Turbosound is actually a very highly respected sound reinforcement company. Their P.A. cabinets were widely used back in the 80's and 90's by many clubs, arenas, production companies, touring acts, etc. I imagine they still are, but I just haven't noticed them as much in recent years as I used to back then.

If Bugera bought Turbosound, it was a great strategic move. Hopefully they keep the Turbosound quality up. :gethim:
