Finaly the cheapo series of amps are out. Rips off of JSX, XXX, 6505 and 6505+

Could be great value for money incase you'd love a Peavey but can't affort it and could settle for a copy amp made in China.

Noone knows of its reliability yet.

I have heard something about those amps, but never really heard how they sound like.

But yeah, if they are good quality, they could be great if you don't have a lot of money to invest on an amp

Do you have any reviews/picture's links to listen to its sounding thanks anyway

Will the cheaper versions sound as bad as the expensive Peavey amps or better though. That is the question.

Amature reviews I've read are all leaning towards top notch positivism. Wether that comes from the fact that it's their first tube amp, a cheap tube amp or that we're dealing with people with lots of experience I don't know.
My conclusions from reading are (I've never even seen a Bugera yet) that it's putting out great sound and the original hiss from the 5150's is gone.

I found this in the harmony central amp forum. Credit goes to user megagoo for sharing
 5150_bugera_test.mp3 ( 1.71MB ) : 210

First the Bugera 6262, second Peavey 5150, last Bugera in the right speaker and Peavey in the left.

I've got GAS but I'd hold my horses for a while unitil either of these occur
* GAS gets relieved
* Problems from the first batches (if there are any) get discovered and repaired.
