Members dkerwood Posted December 22, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 22, 2012 Wow. I was considering a Bugera as a rehearsal/small jam amp. Guess I'm not anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guidedbyechoes Posted December 22, 2012 Members Share Posted December 22, 2012 I guess you could just turn the amp head around if the light was distracting and you didnt want it seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do theatrical design on the side, and having the extra light on stage is incredibly annoying. And again, after having to cover bright LEDs and jewel lights in the past (or seeing others have to do it), I see no practical reason for the extra light. At least the LEDs SHOW you something about the amp. Further, it's just one more thing to worry about when you're pulling the chassis to retube. Hopefully, these amps have an easy enough connector to disconnect. In the end, though, my opinion isn't any more legitimate than yours... it's just my thread. :-) Just know that if you ever work a theatre gig with me, expect a strip of gaff tape across the logo.
