the Bugera 6260 is a 5150 Clone...

Tested one in 2009 - did not like it one bit.

Tested a Bugera 1960 two years ago - liked it very much !

. . . what a strange old world !

Re: There's just something about the 5150 sound...

yep. best rock/metal amp ive ever played. ESPECIALLY for the money!! it is the benchmark standard for me when i play different amps and I always come back to it. Ive got two 5150s. a block letter and the 5150II signature. both sound killer. Its so brutal sounding for metal but the thing that stands out is the responsiveness of the tone. It makes you play different than with any other amp. Its like your fingers just glide across the fretboard with ease. Harmonics, crunch, power, its all there. Hard to beat..

what you like better? the 5150 or 5150 III and why? I played an old 5150 once and it was brutal! wanted one ever since.

Def heard great thingsa about the AMT pedals. have a couple on my shortlist

Almost every drop C metalcore band since 1999 used a 5150.
