How bad are the Bugeras, really? I know there have been all those jokes about Bugerextinguishers etc. from the first run, but yeah. I mean you don't want to buy something which is always broken, even if it has a warranty... but those prices are tempting (especially with the infinium circuit, assuming it actually works and assuming it's not something else to go wrong).
But yeah, I'd be interested to hear what the build is like. They do a triple rec! A triple rec!
But yeah I'd be interested to hear just how bad they are- how much of it is true (the going on fire thing was, but they fixed it fairly sharpish I think), and how much of it is just internet joshing*. Thomann used to list failure rates but they don't seem to any more- IIRC it was a little worse than the manufacturers with good reliability, but not that much worse, either. But I could be misremembering. And I'm not sure how much I'd trust those figures, anyway- they might not flag up annoying minor niggles, and also might not take into account people who got pissed off and decided to cut their losses, etc. etc.
* To clarify, I'm not getting on a high horse here or anything, those Bugera jokes are hilarious, and I make them all the time too.
The Jet City... if I didn't already have the Jet City 50 watt head. ) Also I'm guessing they're aimed at very different tones (I haven't seen a schematic but the marketing screed on the Bugera site suggests it might be based on a Blackface Fender).
