the Bugera TriRec hits the stores! (finally)

it's here!!! (pretty much)

American Musical Supply in New Jersey has the Bugera TriRec listed on their website... but it says arriving 12-16-2011... but you CAN pre-order it!

http://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i-BUG-TRIRECI-LIST

(there is a demo video on that page, just scroll down to the product description)


Man, this is one highly anticipated amp - probably the biggest buzz Bugera has ever had - not counting all the overblown B.S. that was(and still is, unfortunately) parrotted on online guitar forums, usually by people who have never even played one, regarding their perceived un-reliability.  YES, there was a plastic clip that burned out on some amps from THE VERY FIRST PRODUCTION RUN, which was quickly rectified by the company.  There are THOUSANDS of Bugera amps out there that are still running like a champ from the very first day - including the Bugera 1990 which I myself owned.  My friend Paul owns the Bugera 333XL and the 1990, and by other friend Louis owns 2 Bugera 1960s, the 333XL and the 6260, and NONE of the amps have had a single problem, not even so much as a bad tube.

The street price of the Bugera TriRec is $799.99.  I personally feel that Bugera should do everything it could to keep prices at $699 or below - but, I don't run the company, so...  still, if they can deliver Mesa Boogie-type tones(lets call a spade a spade) for under a grand, it's gonna sell like crack in downtown Las Vegas.  hehehehe  ;0p
