Members Fendert Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 I'm guessing its because some time in the past one caught on fire, but I just don't know the story. I just think its funny every time I see the word bugera I see the word fire right after it. I've never played one and never plan on it, I was just curious thanks!

Members guitargod2u Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 elite-ism people that pay top dollar for there amps like to rag on average joe for buying budget friendly amp. I have yet to hear a bad bugera demo. So they copied a design, marshall did the same to fender... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Parah Salin Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 I think it's an online message board thing. I have some friends who work at GC and they haven't heard of any that caught on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Slaymoar Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 Well, bugera probably sells a {censored} ton of their products.. so out of those there has got to be a handful of people that will end up with lemons. These people will start threads with pictures and swearing, which spread like crabs over all the music community forums and turns into a big "omgbbq fire bugera blah blah"... -D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fendert Posted December 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 soooo........has one ever caught on fire for real, or are people just being ridiculous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitargod2u Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 soooo........has one ever caught on fire for real, or are people just being ridiculous? they use {censored} tubes from what i hear, swap tubes and for the most part you're probably golden. Bad soldering can happen with any amp but if its that bad it bound to break within plenty of time to return it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zacman0126 Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 soooo........has one ever caught on fire for real, or are people just being ridiculous? Full blown fire "I need to go get the fire extinguisher"; No. Some {censored} in the amp would fry though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OverdrivenEL34s Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 [YOUTUBE]yJUuRgSt_PI[/YOUTUBE] its totally untrue. here is a demo showing you can play it wide open without catching fire or blowing up. the fire extinguisher is only there to intentionally keep the false association between fire and bugera alive. :poke: wtf with doing demo with guitar way out of tune?

That was the worst demo of an amp I have ever seen, is this really how this company is marketing their amps lol. He keeps talking about how loud it is, who is playing a 150 watt amp on 10 anyways?

Members grunge782 Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 Yes some have caught fire. Not full blown on fire but they have big reliability issues. They seemed to have "fixed" it now but generally its a good meme here. It's not that they are "that" terrible, its more the people who buy them that keeps the joke going.

Members oddone Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 I've seen bugeras where the caps exploded. Also where they were literally smoking, but not an open flame. Either way, they are {censored}ed for reliability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members extollo Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 I've seen bugeras where the caps exploded. Also where they were literally smoking, but not an open flame. Either way, they are fucked for reliability. I have no idea if this is really true, but I read it on the internet from badcaps.net... " How did this happen? The reason this problem exists is because of a large-scale industrial espionage foul-up. Some companies decided to steal an electrolyte formula from another competitor. Little be known to them, the stolen formula was incomplete and flawed. They didn't discover this until it was too late and they had manufactured and distributed literally MILLIONS of these flawed capacitors. It was way too late for any kind of recall, and even today, these crappy components are being used in new boards. As I mentioned before, I believe this problem runs much deeper than simply an industrial espionage screw-up, as that incident was exposed years ago, and the problem still exists today. Nowadays, it just boils down to corporate bean counters cutting corners to save money by using shoddy components. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
