Bugera 1960 Amplier Review Demo Fulltone OCD Marshall 1969 Plexi Clone
http://areyouexperienced.net Bugera 1960 Amplifier head review demo is a Marshall 1959 Super Lead Clone played through a 2×12 Cabinet loaded with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers, a Fulltone OCD overdrive pedal for some crunch since this beast is a cealn power type amp as was teh original Marshall Plexi. Also used is a Fender Strat with custom 50s neck pickup, custom 60s Middle and AmStd Bridge pup, Reverse 60s Strat headstock. Amp is using 2 power tubes instead of 4 as 150 watts was too powerful to record so output is cut in half to 75 watts. Amp volume is on 10 with OCD set at 11 am on volume 1 o’clock on drive and noon on tone. The EQ Bass, Middle Treble half way up at 5 and presence on 0. Guitar volume 7-10. It reacts well to pedals. THis clip was recorded through Shure SM48 Mic into Boss BR864 Digital Recorder with a touch of delay from an MXR Carbon Copy. Mistakes not edited out and this is not a playing skills demo so no flamers please. Just trying to demo the amp for those interested in hearing what it sounds like. Amp is on the bright side through the spikey Vintage 30 speakers, sounds great with Greenbacks. At home it sounds a bit too bright and I probably should have dialed in some warmth for the demo but wanted to set everything flat for demo purposes. At a gig it really cuts through the mix nicely and even at half power can blow the roof off, much louder than my old JCM 800 50 watt combo with KT88s and V30 speaker. Doesn’t quite sound like a roaring low end Plexi but has nice mids and clean power that can be shaped beautifully with pedals. Much different and more raw sounding than the Bugera 1990. Inside components are top notch like you’d find in a hand wired but is a hybrid of modern and vintage which is a good thing, Very little noise on 10 due to good layout design and interal shielding with single coils and no noise in humbucking mode which is nice!
