NEW Bugera Infinium 1960 now with Randy Rhodes gain & Master Volume mods!

BIG kudos to my buddy the Tone King for this SUPER 2011 NAMM scoop from Bugera!






The Bugera 1960 - a killer Marshall Plexi clone that streets at only $450 bucks**** (holy shit!!) - is now available with the super-popular Randy Rhodes cascading gain mod AND a post-phase inverter master volume control STOCK. Yes, you read that right. No more modding your 1960 to get some crunch without blowing your cat's brains out or getting the cops called on you...



The new modded/Infinium model of the 1960 also got a cosmetic facelift... but truth be told(which I always do), I actually prefer the old look better.

Features

  • Hand-built all-valve amplifier driven by 4 x EL34 valves with a monstrous output transformer
  • Two preamp channels with 4 input jacks perform in separate, parallel or cascaded operation, bridging the tonal eras of the '60s, '70s and '80s
  • Vintage hot-rodded preamp mod from the early '80s featuring 3 x ECC83 valves for terrifying tone and classic hi-gain
  • Revolutionary INFINIUM Valve Life Multiplier technology: – Extends the life of your amplifier’s expensive power valves up to 20 times – Provides incredible reliability and consistent tone over the complete lifespan of your valves – No need for expensive matched valve sets – Allows you to mix and match any combination of compatible valve types and brands – Monitors performance of each power tube continuously and displays defective valves to allow for easy and individual replacement
  • Post-phase splitter Master control with true bypass for authentic performance
  • Original '60s tone control section with Bass, Mid, Treble and Presence
  • FX Loop with dedicated Level switch and true Bypass function
  • Impedance switch (4, 8 and 16 Ohms) to match virtually any speaker cabinet
  • High-quality components and exceptionally rugged construction ensure long life


****that is the current price of the standard non-modded 1960 - I have no information as to whether that price will change for the new 1960 version. Stay tuned...
