Dark tranquility using bugera...

[The-Zeronaut]

you can see a bugera 6262 (and a behringer v-amp bass pro :S)

 

[updog]

I heard they used V-amp 2:s at some point. Might be bullshit, but I see they're fans of Behringer products either way

 

[Nebulous]

If I'm not mistaken the Bugera seems to be part of the bass rack. When they showed Martin playing at the start it was definitely a legit Peavey sitting next to him.

Very cool vid though. I've wanted to know more about their writing process for quite a while now.

 

[::XeS::]

They always use v-amp2 pro and some head live for guitars (don't know if it's only for clean/fx stuff).
Probably they use Bugera for reharseal.
Sometimes ago I spoke to Tue Madsen about Bugera...he own the 333xl. He said me it sounds very good, but the last week I saw a TC Electronics video where he speak about his amps and he said the Bugera blew up after 2 months

Ever since they (Bugehringer) solved that conductor issue which caused so many problems with their earlier production heads, I haven't heard about people having more reliability issues with them than with basically any other manufacturer.

Like many have said in the past - if you are trying to compare them to what they are copies of it will never live up to the hype, but if you are using them for their own sound, they are pretty damn good sounding amps; and as noted by slashvanyoung, they seem to have solved some of the reliability concerns of the past.

I just bought the 'Where Death is Most Alive" DVD and the sound on it is great - they must be doing something right.

I know that the 6262 is a clone of 6505 but they could be more subtile about the design of the head. It´s fucking EQUAL. I wonder why no one sue them.

 

[MetalSound]

cool, very interesting video.
btw, what is the name of the song in the beginning and end of the video? could be from in flames....

 

[Brandon E.]

I'm almost POSITIVE I saw 5150s on the where death is most alive dvd, on the sides of the stage facing inwards, the way in flames do it live

Wonder why they would use both

 

[P-E]

Maybe they use Bugera and Behringer and all at their rehearsal place.

I think Martin is playing a 5150 and Niklas is using the Bugera

just found it out myself. wasn´t THAT difficult.

I can see this being the reason... because the Bugera's actually sound fucking INCREDIBLE. I couldn't believe it, when I finally got my 6260. I was completely blown away. I mean, I was expecting the 5150 sound, but the EQ on the Bugera is LIGHTYEARS beyond the 5150.

Back in the day, people (read: mostly high school kids) would always come up to me and ask me how I got such a sick tone, because they bought a 5150 also, but could never get a really good sound dialed in. And for years, I always said that my secret weapon, the ONE thing I will NEVER, EVER part with, the one thing that I would never even THINK about NOT using in any rig was my Boss GE-7 EQ pedal, because that thing took the 5150 and made it do things it could never do on its own. Granted, any EQ pedal is going to do that, really, but thats what I used, and the tonal possibilities it offered were practically unlimited.

Now? All that I use it for is a slight volume boost when I kick in my effects loop for solos. I just couldn't fucking believe it; I mean, that might not be the sound you're looking for, like if you want the crunchy crisp fizziness of Marshalls or the liquid rectified sound of a Mesa, but I'll be damned if the Bugera can't do a more-than-adequate job of recreating those sounds too.



But the reason I say the practice space thing makes sense is that because they, really, are cheaply made... I'm almost afraid to ever move my head now, or touch the knobs, because the knobs are only connected to the circuit board inside the chassis. They are NOT in any way affixed to the front panel. Like, theres no hex nut screwed against it like with the knobs on guitars; you can actually wiggle and move the knobs on the Bugera. I mean, its not like RIDICULOUSLY loose, but they're movable.

That, and the fact that the only thing holding the chassis inside the head enclosure is TWO SCREWS, one on each side. Thats it. You can move it back and forth inside the enclosure. Yet, they have like, a total of like 10 screws used for the metal grills... 4 in the back, 6 in the front. And they have these absolutely USELESS tube socket holder things.... like these things that are supposed to keep the tubes in place that you screw on overtop them, like what Marshall's have, I believe. Except that you have to COMPLETELY REMOVE the entire thing if you want to change tubes. The base mount that the caps screw onto, overtop the tubes, don't allow enough wiggle room to properly insert tubes, because you're supposed to go in a circular motion when putting them in and pulling them out. You are absolutely not in any way ever supposed to just push them in, or pull them out, unless you're purposely trying to bend or break off the pins.



anyway, thanks for the vid, thats rad

 

[ahjteam]

the fact that they use bugera in the rehearsals doesn't mean they use them in the studio or live

 

[Jind]

what is the name of the song in the beginning and end of the video? could be from in flames....

the song at the beginning and end is "Terminus (Where Death is Most Aline)" - it's a Dark Tranquillity song of of their album "Fiction".

 

[The-Zeronaut]

i posted this because i was surprised that a band like DT was using bugera instead of other big (and more expensive) brands...
i think bugera are good amps(for the price)
a friend of mine has the 333xl and it sounds really really good...its a fucking 400 euros valve amp...
for that price it just the most awesome thing ever...

i dont see them as "copies"...i wouldnt buy the 6262 to try to replicate the 5150 tone...i see them as cheap good sounding valve amps...

the "copy" thing is just marketing...but if they make a rectifier clone i would be the first one buying it ^^

 

[006]

Sorry I'm just being anal but god damn I have to point this out. 6260 = 5150, 6262 = 5150II. One guitarist is using a 6505 and Marshall cab and the other is running a 6262 with whatever cab, which is a 5150II/6505+.

 

[Allu83]

they were using it just for the rehearsals, in the video of the recordings you can see them using 6505 and a Powerball

here's the video:

 

[Metal Overload]

They probably will use it live, my band opened for them and they were using V-amps (the little toy-like one) through Dual rectifiers (you read it right) and they still sounded awesome, so it will not surprise me if they take that amp on the road.

 

[KeithRT99]

i've seen them using v-amps into 5150's before.
