Members guitarbilly74 Posted June 3, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 Used Peavey > Bugera, what else do you need to know. yeah I was also thinking of getting an used PV Ultra +... but damn this sounds good, there are some near perfect tones there for my taste, especially the clean and lead channels [YOUTUBE]yhN6iLMtm74[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members xtchc1978 Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 Tone is subjective and there are plenty of Peavey amps out there to try besides the commonly mentioned ones. The ultra plus is a great one to try, there isn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheEsupremacy Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 I am concerned about reliability, It's actually the only thing stopping me from buying it immediately I've done everything except set mine on fire and it won't check out.

Members jaytee123 Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 I like the clips, the features and I really like the price.... please talk me out of it If I had a .44 Magnum, I would pull the trigger on the Bugera. Seriously, they sound good. But like I always say, go over the solder joints after getting one, don't want any happy accidents... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NeloAngelo Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 first time i saw that vid i fell in love with that amp. and i am a glutton for punishment, and i like the risk of potential death. so i might buy one in the future so my family can collect a fat ass settlement from a wrongful death lawsuit lol. but knowing my luck it will probably work forever if i ever do get one.

Members OnWingsOfLead Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 Dude, if its the sound in your head, snag it. I tried to get my friends to talk me out of mine, as the was a used 5150 right beside it. Names aside, I tried my rig (full pedalboard and guitars) through both as the store owner suggested, and put about 2 hours on a couple different days spread over about 2 weeks. The more I played the Bugera, the more I loved it. Mine has about 20 gigs on it, ranging from three jazz dates, to about 5 or so shows playing post hardcore. Its been in all sized venues, from a tiny place in chapel hill, to Lincoln theatre in Raleigh, NC (which has about 1000 person capacity, probably more). It does exactly what I want, and more, and its super simple to get a great sound from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was happily shocked when everything I put in front of them (borrowed many from my friends) sounded killer. Analog pedals were the wow...wish I had more money.

And...let me know what pedals you are looking for, cuz I build and might be able to help ya out. Well, I'm not too big into effects yet because truth be told I'm just now becoming a solid guitar player. I'm not about to fool myself into thinking I'm better than I am by hiding in effects. I've been playing around with my Zoom Lynch sig pedal and realized I'd like a delay perhaps a MXR Carbon Copy or Maxon DD999? and an EHX Small clone chorus maybe. Possibley a whammy of some kind. That would be a good start don't you think? By the way, I heard a AxeFX Ultra. I have no idea why these things are praised as the be alll end all of MFX. It sounded digital and sterile to me. The Rocktron Prophecy II sounded much better to me at half the price. I don't need modeling stuff though. Hope that made sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarbilly74 Posted June 4, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 4, 2008 I've done everything except set mine on fire and it won't check out. Don't believe the bull{censored}. Truth be told, Behringer gear has a good track record with me. I own a v-amp2, a bass v-amp and an ultra-g cabinet emulator. They're all over 4 years old and none had given me any trouble. My v-amp is plugged into my computer and I been leaving it on 24/7 since 2004 and it still works perfectly. I also have a pedal tuner and the battery compartment lid broke the first time I tried to change batteries, apparently the plastic hinges are not that strong. The tuner still works fine though, it's just not a pedal anymore .. but before that I used it for 2 years on my board (with a power supply) and it worked flawlessly. I also worked in the MI industry for many years and know a thing or two about the "internet horror stories" .. they do not mean a whole lot and certainly are not a reliable track record of any product. So I shouldn't be that worried, but it makes me more nervous since this is a $500+ item. Crazy, I know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
