Bugera 1990 Amp Head - Demo Review by Maxxxwell Carlisle

[@huntinglife5202]

Thanks bro I've got this amp changed the tubes and biased runs like a dream.Been gigging it for a year straight 4 nights a week it's been very reliable for me so far

[@lordovthorn2747]

100% buying this amp now that I saw this, ancient but very helpful, Guitar Max video

[@BubbaNintendo]

Just reviewed the 333XL I received yesterday. I love Bugera and I think their heads are definitely worth the investment. Great review

[@colinfair2521]

Yo watching in 2019, crazy how far your channel has come, good shit for sticking with it man

[@Nomadicsage1]

His guitar playing seems to be better is this video compared to now,interesting ..

[@1thess523]

This is where I first saw Max 👍

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

@Den1sVengeance Yeah, I've got a pretty good sized board. It's going through some changes right now, but I will do a whole rig tour eventually.

[@rocke214]

Good stuff here. I've been looking for a demo of this amp being hit with an overdrive that has a decent sound quality and this was it. Sounds better to my ears than the dual reverb 900's I've heard. And nice touch with the Q&A...useful info paired with calling out the loudmouths so common on youtube. Nice job

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

@anthonygnr It's worth the money for sure. Just make sure to get one that's made with the last couple years. The early ones did have some issues.

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

@TheGuitarbound Would it surive touring? Maybe, if treated gently. Any tube amp will have problems if it gets thrown around all the time.

[@recordatron]

Really like your reviews man, keep 'em coming!

[@pnkflydrocker]

Definitely this one. My second guitarist in my band has the Mustang V and it's a pain in the ass waiting for him to switch through the presets on the amp not too mention it's very thin sounding compared to other amps out there. Hope this helps!

[@gtarmn75]

Great review one of the best tones I've gotten was a 1990 and a metal muff roll back the bugeras clean gain and find the sweet spot and it will do 6505+ tones.

[@konst1989]

your impressions are great xD and nice playing and good review by the way what box would you recommend with this head?

[@thebat6900]

hi max been a fan of your channel for a while now my question is do you still have this amp if so could you do a follow up video on this i am considering getting this amp and a 2x12 cab for a hard rock setup thanks and keep the videos coming

[@1thess523]

I asked him about this Amp about 2 months ago and he said he still has it 👍

[@Domination1017]

Hey. What would you think about this amp for fast thrash stuff? I just want heavy hard hitting tone!

[@jodycrown]

good vid dude! are you going to get the new version of the 1990 and test that one out?

[@DestoTrading]

Hey Max! Do you have a pedalboard? Maybe you should do a whole gear tour!

[@whoobibi]

@VintageburstStandard Actually, with the new 1960 Infinium, they added a PPIV master volume and some other stuff that should enable you to get more crunch out of a plexi-type amp without blowing out your eardrums.

[@SnackAttackO1]

Very nice sounding amp. Enough gain for me even if it's not "high gain" by some "standards".

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

@musican7791 I kind of doubt that they will ever actually do that, even though it would be awesome. It would make their manufacturing costs go up and I'm sure they don't want to raise the retail price with the economy as bad as it is. Too bad though. I think the Bugeras, older Peavey amps, and Carvins are the best amps for the money.

[@TheRosswise]

You still have this amp Max? I have one from 2010 that is still going strong.

[@Nomadicsage1]

Got a 2009 still working

[@DJ7tringGuitar]

I wonder how this amp would sound coupled with my Schecter Gryphon since I put a Dimebucker in as the bridge pickup

[@Evil.Turkey]

I bought this amp yesterday and it rocks! But why don't you use an ESP LTD KH-602 or the JH-600? Those guitars would suit you. Cheers from Amsterdam

[@AstralElephantFuzz]

Yeah, helps a lot! Thanks

[@AstralElephantFuzz]

I don't know if you have any experience on Fender Mustang V, but should I get this one or the Fender? I play with Gibson LP with p90 pickups.

[@hadleymanmusic]

All marshalls sound best with single coils and the fenders with humbuckers. My 900 was stolen so im thinkin bout this amp next. Which model do they make thats like a fender? Twinish?

[@keza123123123]

if i buy one brand new will i still have to change the tubes?? ive heard there version of tubes arent great

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

@crate718 Yes!

[@iwannarockon2010]

awesome amp...way to shred man...rock on!!!

[@JustinTOsburn]

No shit this is still probably the best demo of this amp on KZbin. Mic it up with a 57 and you’re in business. Also put a fucking shirt on, wearing a wife beater comes off as douchie more than “rockin” lol

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

Yeah... this is an old video now... I wish I'd had a better audio setup back then!

[@chordfinger1]

try taking the bass and mid to 10 and the treble at 0 and depending on how bright your guitar is set the presence between 5 -10 and tell me what you think!

[@TheLyonhard]

Poor cat! Does he run away when you turn the gain on? Great vid, Max!

[@nasticanasta]

@anthonygnr I prefer the Bugera 1960, with a Weber Mass 200 attenuator it sounds like my 1977 Marshall JMP 50w head. But I am thinking of having a PPIV master volume installed. I never liked using distortion pedals... also he needs to stop those weak VH taps....

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

@XTommyXGunzX Badass.

[@hadleymanmusic]

Is the gain real hissy?

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

@nbrada Hard to explain. It's what all the cool kids do these days.

[@Gorazd1974]

With EMG 81 it would be very good and precise sound.

[@staple765]

Nice demos. All authentic Gibsons are made in the USA. Epiphone which is a Gibson brand are made in China.

[@staple765]

@thatguyfromthatday ok, but are they considered "authentic"? Don't think anyone's gonna pay what they would for an American one, and I am pretty certain that Gibson wouldn't want them here being sold as such.

[@chordfinger1]

@chordfinger1 meant to say try this on the lead channel

[@crate718]

Does the 1990 have a gain knob????

[@paulproductions9213]

is the amp making that noise ? 6:00

[@TheRealRollerCodster]

I was wondering that too. Maybe it's his boost pedal

[@DartHrubec]

Hi man, what are you play in 2:58?? It´s Metallica, I know, but I don´t know name of song. Thanks

[@jboner668]

@megaluisdeth +1 on the bugera 1990 thrash tones! especially if it can do some of the older Exodus stuff.

[@pupstop1]

Loudness huh? Have not heard that one for a while. Thunder int he East

[@TheLyonhard]

@TheLyonhard I mean, when you turn the gain at maximum level :)

[@nasticanasta]

"high" gain? the Marshall my friend has, a JMP 100 watt..which is around 4-5 on the volume knob, dimed out it would be around 180 watts.. the Burgera 1960 is rated at 150 watts max wattage...companies used to rate wattage at "max" then went to RMS so it's safe to say the Bugera 1960 is a 100 watt amp RMS. And what the difference between 180 and 150 watts? Nothing to speak of for sure...I believe the 1990 is 120watt max wattage rating... making it maybe a 75-80watt RMS amp.

[@hadleymanmusic]

Man I am soo needin a new head my 900 was stolen im on a crate tv6210( a mistake I made buying to replace the 900) and it wont work for me.

[@hadleymanmusic]

Im workin with clean and a slight brite sustain edge and pedal my higher gains thats about what I need.

[@zAvAvAz]

if you had side burns you would make that look kool also, i think its a complement of being the star that you are . . .

[@djz3bra]

The cat adds tone.

[@TheSonsofHorusx]

nice cat man

[@GreatOverlord]

@XTommyXGunzX it sounds great. i have one

[@AB-80X]

You should try a set of 6CA7 tubes in that amp. They are pretty cool.

[@michaeladamcaira9174]

A bit noisey,but I like it

[@guitarskate5150]

This amp goes to eleven! ... sorry, I just had to...

[@erictoniaschwab1009]

Love the cat!

[@rocafella142]

@DartHrubec Theres no Metallica song with that riff.

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

@MrStealthyTaco What can I say... I like pussy.

[@evilivyesp]

and people told me that guitar has a shitty sound..i do like it a lot

[@staple765]

@thatguyfromthatday I asked Gibson Customer Service, here is their response: Hi Rob, Thanks for writing! All Gibson guitars are hand-built only in the USA. Thanks! Benton Cummings Gibson Customer Service 1-800-4GIBSON [e-mail]

[@andromeda673]

dude your the relish, that kitty cat is digging life and living the dream.....................broseph shred it

[@crispycannibal]

has a lot of hiss when youre not playing...

[@victormlyon]

Like to hear Kt66s in it...

[@michaeladamcaira9174]

Love the KT 66,77

You need to work with the basic stuff in your playing !

[@bronzesnake7004]

What's the meaning of this outrage!? What have you done with Max's long black luxurious hair you filthy fiend!! How dare you!! ") Jack ~'()'~

[@andreydyumaev5131]

Bro, you NEED an mij axe...asap. Compared to the thousands new or still ma y hundreds used all that amplification musta cost you, a few hours on craigslist and several hundred bucks, maybe a night with a soldering iron to swap pups out, is really nothing... But the impact is HUGE

[@gregkeen4907]

That may very well be the single most noisy amp I have ever heard in my life. No thanks.

[@shanemiller2046]

I see one for sale on CL for 275... I dunno now.

[@Ragezort]

the kitty? meow meow

[@nasticanasta]

as for the statements made about where guitars are made...your only partly right, but there is no such thing as a chinese Gibson, ESP, those are exclusively made in the US, the LTD's Epiphones, even Fender have them made in other countries to their specs...there are literally hundreds of factories pumping out these types of guitars in China, Indonesia, Korea..etc. and many faked like those Epiphone Custom Les Pauls all over eBay, you want a USA made guitar...your gonna pay!

[@bunglebro]

David Westhoff ESP are a Japanese company bro!!! there are only s few models made in california

[@megaluisdeth]

A# tuning is for gay little scene kids! How about you do a review about if the 1990 can handle thrash metal!

[@Devrominums]
