Excellent buy! It not only competes with but p****s all over other, a lot more expensive, amp heads on the market. The sound quality is top notch and on a full stack, riffs and lead notes soar. The only shortcoming, in my opinion, is that the pedalboard could have done with including an independent reverb pedal, hence the reason why I rated it 4 stars in the features department. Oh well, perhaps Bugera will improve on that in the not-too-distant future. Don't be put off by the fact that it's made in the Far East: most products (even those which are purported to be 'leading brands')are made in the Far East. I simply love it and I'm thinking of buying another model by this great brand. Bugera sure kicks some serious a**e and, what's more, it didn't break the bank. Great product! I'm making the following addition to my original review over three years after buying it, and after having returned the head to Thomann three times (luckily within its warranty period). Alas, the issues kept rearing their ugly heads. Although the ultimate tone and features of the amplifier are exceptional, the problems related (having to return the product, the wait, hassle involved) do not warrant buying it. In hindsight, after 5 years since purchasing it, it has been sent again to the repair shop. This time the problem seems to be the built-in relay switch connected with the footswitch. For the reasons stated above I would not recommend it.
