I purchased this amp used in November 2012. The manufacture date was July 2010 and the original tubes were still in place so I immediately replaced all of the tubes just to make sure I was getting optimal performance from the amp. I have been extremely pleased with the amp. I don't gig and only use it at home and it works great and sounds amazing. I was considering the Fender Blues Jr. III but could not justify the additional cost after playing both amps side by side at Guitar Center.

If you are looking for a tube amp, you should definitely consider the Bugera line.
