Thanks for continuing to bring us musical gear deals, Iconian!!
50watts tube can be blisteringly loud, is not usually run in class A configuration bc it would melt itself if not constantly outputting sound. Whatever circuitry they have to extend powertube life is probably regulating the volts running to the tubes. Cab simulation is interesting but suggests that this can function as a preamp only, running without a speaker load, something you'd never do with a traditional tube amp. The reverb of course is some digital circuit on a chip.

I'm not a technician but I've got over a dozen classic tube amps, most of them point-to-point hand-wired , and I used to play in and record rock bands.

"Hand built" probably simply means hand-assembled. There's no way an amp specced like this could cover a skilled technicians wages and materials even in china even at the msrp.

I'm not saying it's a bad amp. But it's certainly not built with lifetime serviceability in mind, and I'm very curious how it sounds and how many corners were cut to push it out at that price point.
2xel34 is typically 50w

Actual RMS (Root Mean Square) vs. peak.
If it's not mentioned it's probably peak watts, vs. sustained.

Bugera is a budget brand owned by Behringer. As with their parent, most of their stuff is clones, but for a cheap tube amp they're hard to beat.

Sad when this comment appears to be the only guy who knows what he is talking about and he gets downvoted.

Excuse my retarded question - but does this have the speakers built in as well? Or is just purely an amp I need to connect bookshelf speakers to or something?

Playing extremely loud cleans at bigger venues (with cabs) and/or using it as a one of your pre amp gain stages with it's power amp, conversely for very loud rock (distortion added) like up and through metal styles, then it's a consideration to be compared against many like kind options. Yes 50W for tubes is massive volume potential.

It's a beast; but If you are buying it for your basement collection then you are playing around just for fun(you do you), and that 's fine; but it's to loud for house practice *and* to loud even for most stage performances, and looks like only the one gain stage. It is not needed for sane volume metal distortion(s) and etc. Your vintage amps were not used alone for the classic (high break-up distortion) tones. And you don't (probably) want to pack these in sound enclosures and buy expensive load boxed to take the volume down, or lose the full ear breaking classic (certain) distortion tone. Hearing loss is a thing and people don't go for that anymore. Killer distortion (or not) is fine; but no longer has to make you deaf in old age.

These are the interesting original type model being modeled. And please note I suggest both tubes and non tube components just the same. The ones built well either way. And matching good tube character either way. Not poor attempted modeler or bad tube amps. I recommend one part be a 15 to 20W tube COMBO for best value and with a very inexpensive multi amp/FX+pedal. For a do all low cost 25lbs portable solution. Not trading gear often or wasting cash "working up to" your gear with bad components. But you could start with the multi and save for a combo deal just fine. From $35 to start and a sale $200 combo. You can built, beg or steal those for less.

Headroom is where you can play clean or chosen partial break-up, without more volume messing it up, such as in a LARGE performance. Country cleans need some extra watts (which is NOT volume it's logarithmic not liner) to keep it from clipping, like in a huge noisy crowded country bar and showcase. And rock sometime uses cleaner tones, thus needing extra headroom (from a few watts) too. Take away is 100W is NOT twice as loud as 50W and it depends on if it's tubes; which would be like 15W to 30W in tubes(also NOT twice as loud). And this does not mean get 1000W. Tubes about 15W and the non-tube Katana 100, get the 100W; but not for the 100W. For best amp tone and flexibility (value, size and weight).

100W(50W works) is almost a requirement for NON-tube amps *if* you also want to be able to keep up with a loud drums and sound like a tube amp. CRAZY 100W and TUBE amp is often ran as 50W or less settings when settable. Many are NOT. You don't want an untamed 100W tube amp for typical uses (bedroom to mid stage); but it could be a rare over priced beast with taming features such as master volume and load attenuation built in, and also more than one distorting gain stage, such as a non-tube pedal built in. But all that is never a deal, it's like a risky investment car, so exotic you never drive it. And there are disadvantage with to much all-in-one. You want separate where it's less expensive and combination also less expensive and when no big cons come with them. nothing is going to be absolutely perfect. Remember this is SLICK DEALS, not unicorn product deals for a mint.

It's just a head which is just a preamp. You need a speaker cabinet to plug it into. Also something of importance, you need a *speaker cable* to connect the head to the speaker cabinet, not a regular ts or trs cable.

This is an amplifier head, you typically connect these to a speaker cabinet (should look like a Marshall stack etc.)
