      It’s easy to google it:

      “Bogner Amplification is an American guitar amplifier manufacturing company founded by Reinhold Bogner in 1989 in Los Angeles, California. Bogner began by custom-building boutique amplifiers based on classic (blackface) Fenders, and now offers different models of serially produced amplifiers.”

      Bugera is a brand name used by Behringer. They are good amps that are priced a bit lower.

          Wow - Bugera=Berhinger.....

          Didn't know that.

          And for a "classic amp" company - Bogner has some wicked high gain models....

            Bogner is expensive high-gain stuff.

              Bogner and Line 6 partnered up about a decade ago to make one of the best modeling amps ever, the Spidervalve.

                I thought it was a joke thread Ace...

                Bugera is a Behringer brand, knocking off “classic” amp circuits (1959, 2203, 5150, Recto) with the cheapest components possible. They seem to hold up decently, especially for home use. I almost bought the 1959 then came to my senses that I have no practical use for 100W plexi.
                Oh no.....


                Oh Yeah!

                  I don’t think their components are any cheaper than Marshall, et al, uses.

                  I’ve owned Behringer mixers, audio interfaces, pedals, etc. I’ve opened them up and they are all very well made.

                  It’s like all the $30 Chinese FX pedals on the market. My Joyo Ultimate Drive is exactly the same on the inside as a OCD. It cost me $20 new.

                    I have the Bugera G5
                    It sounds good for a bedroom amp

                    Has a ton of features like the amp it clones

                    The price has gone up dramatically since I got mine

                    $199 new when I got mine
                    Sweetwater was firm at $250

                    Now everyone wants $350

                      I missed out on that one... the G series would have been much more appropriate for me than the 1960!
                      Oh no.....

                              Bogners have that lower mid thing going on which isn't a bad thing just different. They also sound too smooth like even order harmonics to my ears. Much prefer the MESA Mark series or Rectifier series to the Bogners.
                              Nothing can compare to the upper mid bark of the older Marshall JMP's, thats where i live.
                              Bugera would be good for a kid just starting out as it beats by a mile what i started on in the 70's.
                              But as for a Pro rig or gig rig i would never rely on Bugera as a main amp. Maybe a backup in a pinch.
                              Bugera quality has improved slighty from years ago but Uli Behringer makes mass produced crap IMO.
