I am sure you have heard about it, or read some reports on it, or have seen those amps at NAMM:
Bugera presented two new guitar amps there, the 1960 and the 1990.

1960

The 1960: Vintage-style ECC83/EL34-equipped 100 W head. Even though its designed kinda 60s style (at least regarding layout and features, it has an FX loop, which Im sure a lot of people will appreciate)  (click the image or this link to go to the product page at bugera.com)

1990

The 1990: More modern style 2-channel head with ECC83/5881 tube setup. This is switchable from pentode (full power) to a more compressed, lower-volume triode mode (60W instead of the full 100). Click the image or this link to go to the product page.

They’re about to hit the market, and I can’t wait to try them out. I wouldnt be surprised if I’ll  be playing those at future clinics, as the first sound files I heard sound awesome, so Ill try them out asap.
