Well, if you are just going to take every expression of frustration and turn it around to make me look like I know nothing, i'll just be moving on. I've played hundreds of amps, you don't need to own one do determine if it sounds good or not. I wouldn't believe you if you'd say you've never called something junk out of anger. It's a decent sounding amplifier but has given me a lot of trouble. If you would have read my post before bashing it you would realize that they are too hot to touch after six minutes of blazing blue. Yeah, that's normal operation huh? Also, after dealing with 20 or so Bugera heads at my Best friends shop, I've made my conclusion about them. How do you feel about Bugera Power tubes? Oh wait, I don't care, I don't doubt your credibility, i'm just trying to fix my B52. I can see that i'm not going to get help if you are the only person replying. Thanks a bunch!
