Members uppercasenoises Posted March 10, 2011 Members Share Posted March 10, 2011 The AT series were discussed here frequently. Seems as though the dropped off the map (no pun intended) lately. Maybe Bugera had something to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Timmott Posted March 10, 2011 Members Share Posted March 10, 2011 I have an AT-112 and it's a fine amp. Could use a new speaker but for the less than $300 new I paid for it I have no complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ruppert240 Posted March 10, 2011 Members Share Posted March 10, 2011 designed by egnater but had some manufacturing flaws that were quite easy to fix. I don't think they sound that bad. I also played one of their SS heads and while I wouldn't call it tubey, it was loud thick and pretty decent ss amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ***1776*** Posted March 10, 2011 Members Share Posted March 10, 2011 Actually when it was working it wasnt a bad amp at all, it really wasntThe head was 2 channels (I think the AT 100) and i remember thinking it was kinda a poor mans Mesa, but NOT a bad sounding amp at all, but i know they did have some issues as my buddy at GC told me they had a high rate of returns due to problems but when it worked it sounded pretty good 2 me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nwright Posted March 10, 2011 Members Share Posted March 10, 2011 some of their stuff is showing "discontinued" on the MF site...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TruSlice Posted March 10, 2011 Members Share Posted March 10, 2011 My tech showed me while working on one of these amps awhile back that there's this design flaw where the grounds are too close to other components and they arc at high wattages. Simple fix and re-route and they sound great. Definitely a poor man's recto amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ilikebeer Posted March 10, 2011 Members Share Posted March 10, 2011 The AT-100 was a pretty damn good amp, but they did have some minor issues. Calling it a poor man's Recto is totally off base, since they were definitely more Marshally than Mesa. People just made the Recto connection because of the Tri-Mode rectifier.

Members charveldan Posted March 10, 2011 Members Share Posted March 10, 2011 I got a AT-100 from a friend, put a Mercury OT in it, did a brite cap mod, new tubes, 6 spaces of rack gear just to get it to sound like a Marshall with a blanket over the cab.DNW.

Members MetalHed Posted March 11, 2011 Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 AT100 was made in CaliUmmmm.....mine says "Made In China" right on the chassis. I know that it was designed by Bruce Egnator, but the construction is MIC, period. With that being said, the build quality on them is pretty good compared to other MIC gear according to my tech.
