I had a Bugera 6262 when they first came out. The fuse kept blowing after the first day that I had it. I sent it back and didn't get another one. The price is low and there are some things that get sacrificed vs amps that cost twice as much. This seems pretty well built and sounds great right out of the box. If you look at some snobby websites (tgp) you'll see a lot of hating going on Bugera's amps because they are less expensive (ok, cheap). It's a piece of electrical equipment. When mine showed up the UPS man said "I need to show you something". I was thinking great, the box is messed up and I'm not going to get to play it. The box was wet, because of all the rain we've been getting recently but I unpacked it and everthing was dry. There was plastic that covered the amp and it wasn't wet either. I don't think you are going to find anyone that has one of these amps and likes them they are going to say they have had trouble with them. I think people blow things up and people that I KNOW that have them haven't had any problems with them.
