Bugera Tri-rec sound clip

[philby82]

I just got a dual rec recently but i had been hanging out to see what one of these can do.

Not the best demo, but definately looks pretty interesting.



Cheers

The same shitty licks and aweful playing he uses to test every amp - the internet certainly does make the oddest choices when it comes to it's 15 minutes of fame (or longer in this case). Please God, why oh why could you not have at least chosen someone capable of playing - why??? <sarcasm for those not following it>

 

[drew_drummer]

I hate TTK. His banner fucking sucks too.

 

[amarshism]

Will never own any of this bugera shit. There's this guy that lives locally who swears by his. Carries on how he's done all these mods etc to basically make it a 6505/5150 when he could have bought one for the same price if not cheaper after you factor in the cost of the upgrades. Moron.

 

[Ola Englund]

One of this in front and your good to go!

 

[slashvanyoung]

Anything played through a Bugera cab will sound like shit - that's basically a law of nature. I am quite optimistic about the amp though, given what they delivered with the 6260(2) and 333 (XL).

Maybe part of "TTK's" success is because his knowledge, skills and methods are so close to most other guitarists' out there. They can relate to what he does.

Perhaps, but I have to believe that a 15 year old guitarist with one years experience playing guitar could run circles around the usual chugga chugga riffs and out of tune soloing he does each and every time. It's the same in every video and it really is a piss poor representation of what the majority of the gear he tests is capable of.

I actually brought this up to him. here was my email:

Now first please dont take anything I am saying in a negative way. I
am a HUGE fan and have been watching your videos since you started. So
that being said ....

MY only real concern with most of your reviews on amps / pedals /
guitars used more for "metal" is we dont really get a true feel for
how the instruments play in the "metal" environment due to your lack
of really playing anything "metal" in your reviews. I understand not
everyone in the world especially OUR age has time to sit and practice
20 hours a day like these kids ...lol

What I was wondering is have you ever considered using "re-amps" for
your amp and pedal shootouts / reviews? This would afford you the
ability to have an actual metal guitarist play through the gear so we
can get an overall better feel as to how they would react to things
like Palm Muting, Pinch Harmonics, Complex Single note lines, dropped
/ 7 string tunings.

Thanks again for all your hard work!

And here is his reply

Hi Jason, thanks for your email. No offence taken at all. And, I&#8217;m glad you highlighted my biggest challenge in doing this. Like you said &#8230; I simply don&#8217;t have the time in the day to be the best guitarist out there. PLUS &#8230; if I was allowed to play copyrighted music &#8211; it would be that much easier on me ,but YouTube can pull my videos down, which would be very problematic for me. So, each and every time the camera is rolling .. it has to be 100% my stuff &#8230; and frankly speaking &#8211; it&#8217;s quite the task. That coupled w/ a full time job, 3 kids, and a very understanding wife &#8230; it simply is what it is. As the old Cub Scout motto &#8230; I do the best I can do, and genuinely try to share w/ the community my access to gear. Trust me &#8211; If I didn&#8217;t enjoy it, I&#8217;d stop, but I really do like cutting the videos.

As for your note on re-amping &#8230; I&#8217;m not really sure how that would work. Let me understand &#8230; I get some metal guy to play some metal riffs, then replay that back through my gear? I guess the questions that come to mind are : Who are those producing the metal riffs, &#8230; now I&#8217;m back into ownership / copyright issues if it&#8217;s not my own work, and frankly speaking &#8211; it takes my .02 out of the mix &#8230; the dynamic of playing. I may not be the best guitarist out there &#8211; trust me, I know that &#8230; but I do know how this stuff works &#8230; so in all of my videos, I truly try to tell a story. Whereas lots of other folks out there depend on solely the &#8216;tone test&#8217; &#8230; I focus on a good story (mojo) and the tone. I do get lots of positive comments that my videos are entertaining &#8230; and if nothing else, if the viewer&#8217;s walk away with some valuable information, I am satisfied. [/COLOR]

Anyway, I ramble as much in type as I do in the videos, but I do appreciate your reaching out. I always welcome the constructive criticism!

Have a great holiday season!

I actually played through one of my friends bandmates Bugera rig(6260 with Bugera cab.), and it actually sounded pretty damn good! o,0
Not that it sounded like a 5150 through a Mesa OS-cab, but it still sounded _ALLOT_ better then anything else near that price range.

With that said, i don't own a Bugera.. and if i ever bought one, it would be to learn how to modify amps, and nothing else.

Edit:

Oh yeah, and the tone king pretty much sucks.
Sure he might know a few things about amps, but he couldnt get a decent tone out of an amp even if his life depended on it.

 

[philby82]

agree about the tone kings playing/choice of riffs being pretty average, especially for what 99% of us want to hear.

But it was the first real clip of one of these tri-recs, and i couldn't help but post it lol.

I have a 6260 and a 333 and they both sound really good imo, and i havent had an issue with either. Will be interesting to hear what it really sounds like when someone can run it through a decent cab and mic it up.

Guru has a 333 he swears by

 

[guitarguru777]

333XL

I Love It !! Honestly sounds better then the JSX to me, especially now that I put some =C= tubes in it!

 

[Sloan]

I became a Bugera fan after picking up a used 333XL. One of the best purchases I've made to date and I'm always excited when they've got something new coming out.

[Ola Englund]

Played through two 6262's that sucked ass and two that were awesome.

It was more than likely the cabs though, the two the sucked were going through bugera cabs...still I cant help but keep a prejudice against them. Id be interested in hearing what Ola could do with a trirec or 6262. Not all of us have enough cash for a 5150III .

Maybe you should check the new 5150III 50 W. That thing looks really cool!

 

[guitarguru777]

I wonder what its gonna retail for. Would be nice if they could get it in under a $1200, but I doubt it.

If you were pleasantly surprised by how that 6260 sounded through a Bugera cab, you would be floored by how they sound when played through a remotely decent cab (in context of being a good sounding amp for very little money, not the Peavey copycat).

Very likely.

I can't stress enough how bad these Bugera cabs are (specifically the speakers). Worse than AIDS...

Even the old Behringer cabs with Jensen speakers were light-years ahead of them.

Anyway, my attitude towards Bugera amps has changed from skepticism towards optimism over the last years. I'm quite convinced that, without the Behringer-connection, these would sell for significantly more money.

+1

I think the same. Yesterday I saw one video on youtube where he meets Monkey Lord, and now I'm pretty sure that TTK is really odd This what piss me off is that he loves guitars and equipment, he posts some video with nice stuff but he completely can't play the guitar!

 

[xler8ed]

real nice
