Details about the amp here.

I hear it's going to cost about $2,000, which is a good deal considering the amount of amp you're getting.

The blokes in sevenstring.org just posted this about the Mark V...

Looks and sounds cool, but does it go to eleven?

It's a Mesa, 6 will probably cause permanent deafness.

My Rectoverb will do it on about 4

(Deafness that is).

Played Marshall for years and Line 6 (which I really like), but our other guitarist, (Stilletto user)
turned me to the dark side. The sound is awsome. The smoothest, creamiest lead tone ever
and you don't have to try hard to get it.

Rectoverb? :shock:

Bokkie · January 19, 2009, 03:13:20 PM

Is that a reverb that erects things?
Of course not in that case it would be called an Erectoverb .
So...i answered my own question...how stupid is that :?

btw, the picture shows the amp of Nigel Tufnel from Spinal Tap.

I think Nigel has had an upgrade. He's on a Joe Satriani DVD saying that his new amps go to infinity.

Still only about 7 on a Mesa.

The only downside to a Mesa is that they're HEAVY.

And the musicians who buy them think they come with a personal roadie.

That's usually 'cos some plonker keeps the EV chassis, instead of binning it like any sensible person would.

Anyway, never mind all this weight and "eleven" nonsense.

What I want to know is: who came up with the name "Bugera" ?

Not me.

Steven Wilson (of Porcupine Tree) has a BadCat that sounds lovely.

It's a Cornford for me ... fabulous tone, with the added bonus that you dont need it on 11 to get the sound you want ... great tone without peeling the face off your audience
