BUGERA 1990 Tube Amp Demo on Music Man EVH

BUGERA 1990 Tube Amp Demo on Music Man EVH by Michael Ripoll
We made the 1990 the first BUGERA amp to allow switching between full-throttle pentode or more harmonic triode (60-Watt) modes. We gave Clean and Lead channels separate master volume and reverb controls. We tossed in a dual-control footswitch others charge extra for. Then we used our powerful economies of scale and advanced manufacturing to produce a superb value that puts Biting British Tone within range of anybody who ever lusted after it.

Trying to get some really nice punchy Periphery/Tesseract sounds out of an amp. Would you guys say that this amp is capable of said tones?

[bugera]

@djentonomicon The 1990 is more of an old-school high-gain sound, but I think that if you turned up the lows and maybe boosted the front end with an overdrive or boost, the 1990 would be capable of bringing teh djentz. :)

im new to tube amps, does this run on 6l6 tubes and do all tubes have 8 pins on them ??

[bugera]

@keza123123123 Not all tubes have 8 pins, but most common power amp tube designs do: 6L6, EL34, KT66, KT88, 6550, 5881, etc.

The 1990 comes stock with 5881's which is a variation of the 6L6 design. Regular 6L6s can run in the original 1990 with a bias adjustment. The 1990-INFINIUM will run on nearly any octal-based power tube you want.

Is this amp footswitchable?

[bugera]

@boxingthestars1 the 1990 is indeed footswitchable! :)

@marviosantos So true that just about all the amp companys have gone the way of global out sourcing manifacturing...

I'm not dissing it, they make a killing in proffit when the countrys that make em pay their people pannys per hour.

I will however say that by doing this the over all quality control has fallen...The consumer ends up getting shafted.

I bought a NEW 5150iii head, made in Mexico...pretty sad considering how much they sell for. The NEW 50 watt version is made in China. SAD!

[marviosantos]

@JBL8863 Yeah, but what amp isn't these days? Very, very few, even most marshall's, voxes, and even freaking orange, makes most their stuff in China, only the super expensive models from them are made in the UK. I can't attest to the build quality of these amps, but holy crap is it ever temting. from what I hear they mainly save their money on tubes, but again, you would have to re-tube ANY amp after a year or so of heavy playing, soo...
