Back in my highschool days, other guitarist in my band had a Bugera and I had a B52 AT100 and even a Hughes & Kettner Vortex solid state head that was SUPER cheap. We thought we were hot shit using these cheap amps, sticking it to the man by not using expensive amps.. In hindsight it was pretty dumb considering a used 5150 head or combo wasn't that much more expensive. For how many times the Bugera or B52 cut out during practice and shows, I'd never buy one again. Maybe for <$100 just for nostalgia sake.
I bought a 1960 and 1990 during that same blowout. I think both have an hour play each!
They actually sound pretty good but I would only bring them to a gig as a back up.. er..to my back ups..
