My Behringer cabs also have Bugera badges on them at least. IMO they're probably destined for the cheap and nasty end of the market, but as I've said many times my Behringer rig works fine for me, but don't believe for one second that those figures are accurate.

Mr. Foxen Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 (edited) How many watts can you draw through a wall socket? 240v x13 amps is less than 3600, but I'm not great on electrics, I know we aren't really 240v either. Edited July 12, 2009 by Mr. Foxen Quote

And much less, if anyone is going to be playing large enough venues to warrant such power, they're not going to be looking to buy a behringer are they? Edited July 12, 2009 by budget bassist Quote

I know a few young lads who've got some Bugera stuff, and it works fine WHILST IT WORKS. But they have, out of the 5 units they originally bought, had to get 4 replacements in the past year. Bugera were fine about it (as they were in warranty) and they do exactly what it says on the tin, but you get what you pay for! Quote
Spartacus Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Its Behringer. They used the name 'Buggerer' (whatever) in theior bass cabs about 4 or 5 years ago when they were doing Harkte/Ashdown hybrids. Not good for anything youd rely on onstage but fun to use theor stuff for home recording and pedals. Quote

Of course there are plenty of other things to fail along the line of making those lows happen, but thats another discussion. Quote
