Mesa/Boogie Knock-offs by Bugera

[FlyinBlueDream]

Posting in this old thread on purpose to make this point: I'm still playing my 15 year old TriRec with no problems. Still has the original tubes in it too. Mind you I haven't used it a bunch in recent years but when I fired it up recently it came right up and still sounds killer. I've played Dual Rectifiers and Triple Rectifiers but the Bugera actually sounds better to me. The Mesa's are kind of flabby on the low end and fizzy on the top end without some sort of tube screamer in front of them. Never had those issues with the Bugera... 15+ years and still going strong. It was $300 used back in 2009.

That's good to hear, too bad they're so hard to find used anymore. They sound really good! I wanted to get one but was scared off by people saying they're cheaply constructed. But so are Peavey's and they're workhorses.
