Members Kid_A Posted February 1, 2012 Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 There doesn't seem to be many reviews on the BC30, but it does seem like a lot of amp for the price. Wasn't everyone wetting themselves over the V22 and V55 at one point too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members driverhasabomb Posted February 1, 2012 Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 The V22 and V55 both get really good reviews for the most part. There are some corners cut with both amps, obviously. The 1960 sounds really good but I've heard some people complain about the construction. I don't know anyone who has bought the BC30 or the newer Mesa clones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members raggydoll Posted February 1, 2012 Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 I have had behringer stuff that lasted fine but I personally would rather spend a bit more and have the real thing. I'd worry too much about the quailty of the build. I don't mind taking a chance on a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kid_A Posted February 1, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 I dont even need a new amp, just read an interesting article about them... everyone seems to worry about the build quility though. Possibly a DO NOT WANT feeling on the rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AluminumFalcon Posted February 1, 2012 Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 The first Bugera amps had a major issue with Molex connectors overheating and melting. Apparently that has been fixed on newer amps. I have a friend who uses one of the Peavey clones and has had to replace quite a bit on it. Again, this was one of the first amps made by Bugera, and apparently their quality has improved since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members theAntihero Posted February 1, 2012 Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 I have a 1960 that i really like, do you have a need for a louder, bassier Plexi? If so this is the amp for you. I also have a v5 that im pretty impressed with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Preacher Posted February 1, 2012 Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 I seem to remember a couple guys over at HCEG having BC30s and liking them quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I dont even need a new amp, just read an interesting article about them... everyone seems to worry about the build quility though. That's because the manufacturer (Behringer) doesn't have the world's most stellar reputation for product durability / quality. It seems like nearly every piece of gear I've had from them has died on me; usually right after the end of the warranty period. Having said that, I did try one out (a V22) in a local guitar shop for about an hour one day, and was very impressed with the tones I could get with it. I liked the sound of it quite a bit - but based on previous experiences with their products, I'm just not sure I could trust it over the long haul. YMMV.

Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted February 1, 2012 Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 My mate had a 1960. It sounded {censored}ing amazing. Seriously, totally sweet amp. Looks like cheap crap though. Anyway, I was all for this amp until it broke. So he sent it back and got a replacement. Then that one broke too. This all happened within about 3 months. Good amps when they work. But how long will they work for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had both my Bugeras for over a year now and they still sound good and work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
