Feature:
For me, this head is The Cherry on top! What is told about her....she produces! Very nostalgic for me. Old times surfacing!! Such a Simple head which delivers VERY MUCH in Sound and Craftsmanship, etc., which does not have to bend down to most of the expensive heads around, because: She Delivers!!!Rawness, beyond your imagination!

Quality:
She is just BEAUTIFUL!!! Had seen her on the net, here...and others.. BUT...when I saw her...I had to have her!!! I did not even try her out!! I just purchased her online, and picked her up, loaded in, went home and then...hooked her up and: BAM!!! It was Love/Sound at first sight/hear! The Bugera company did an excellent job on all the specs of the head. Everybody knows Marshall, but the other replicas out there, were just as good. And this one made by the Bugera Company...is on the SAME level of Marshall or any other, I have to say. And is affordable...for the small wallet! But still gives a Great Value Of SOUND, back, worth every penny. She can take any beating on the road, I would say! But, I made a heads flight case for her, so she is comfortable. Even without the case...she can make it through life!! You also get VERY MUCH, for little money!!

Value:
Well, the price in the country I live (Europe) I even got 10% off on each stack because, I purchased 2 of their half stacks: 1960 and the 1990. It was for me...Worth buying!!! So, compared to others...: She was well and worth invested! Every penny Worth It!!!

Desirability:
"Love at first...sight!!" Simple...but....Beautiful!!

Sound:
I wrote similar specs to the Bugera 1960 Classic, previous, and/but, much of it applies also to this Bugera 1990 Classic. Will just Edit it a bit.[Thank you, zZounds!] The head is GREAT! And, for the price....WOWWW!!! I started off putting my stompbox in the input and sound very Direct. My Stompbox sounds quite average through the Direct input. But, my (self built 1993; similar to Cornish) stompbox is inserted into the FX-loop, though, for best results! Which makes it mush more easy to equalize (just as the 1960)! Can set it much 'finer' than when the box goes through the Direct input! Which sounds much 'course or hard'; not hard in sound, but hard in frequency, so-to-speak. Just bothers the/my ears. Did not sound right. With the Bugera cabinet, you can hear very much - Depth -; 12x4 is here at her best. My echo sounds much more - Perspective - and Deep; in a Mono/stereo way! Usually, you just hear echo...and that's it, but with this head and cabinet: your Ears hear ALL THE SOUND, which is processed into her! And she does not discriminate what she is fed; processes it all to her best abilities! This head I utilize for the RAW stuff. The very Heavy Rock sounds. Put one Gain, slightly to Mellow, and the other to a bit more Gain, for a very Fuzzy sound, which creates Thunder-like sounds. For the soft parts, I utilize the Mellow channel and than the Fuzzy channel to get the whole song rocking, into a climax! And her Rawness is just as bad as the Marshalls! In contrary, to the Bugera 1960 Classic, which has the same possibilities, but in a more - Subtle - fashion; more with Control(: for bottleneck, Blues, Subtle Instrumentals/songs; in this sense)! Still have to fabricate a Switcher, to switch to the 1960 or to the 1990. If you want to Rock...without stopping: THIS IS IT! A real Rocker head, she is! Just as good as the Marshall JMC, or similar types. Also, very excellent technology incorperated into this head.

Ease of Use:
From also, having experience from this type of head, for me...she is easy to use. Just get the Gains correctly and....Your Off!! I mentioned above: she is Simple and the rest the musician has to do, with his EARS...and guitar playing! Just: Plug And Play!!!

Support:
Have emailed the company a couple of times, and they are very quick! Asked for a Straight Cab, among others; which would be nice, but the slanted does excellently, though. Have had no difficulties so...there was no need for assistance.

Overall:
Will keep her till the end of her days (just like the 1960)!! Had been looking for these old/semi Vintage type of heads and presto: Bugera comes out with them!! And is affordable, for me. Almost bought a 2-3 channel head some years back, which I am glad I did not purchase!! This is an excellent 2 channel head, though, I have to say. It was well worth waiting for! The Bugeras brought it for me...back to the Basics...the Purity of playing on such Grandeur heads which the rock and pop music was built upon! Nothing can beat that!! If they were stolen, I would surely purchase the same setup, again, if possible, without doubt!

Sound:
he head is GREAT! And, for the price....WOWWW!!! I started off putting my stompbox in the input; tried both, High and Low. With a start. When inserted in High, you get a Satriani/Blackmore sound and when inserted in the Low, you get a deep startocaster Hendrix type of sound: Superb! But, my (self built 1993; similar to Cornish) stompbox is inserted into the EX-loop, though, for best results! Which makes it mush more easy to equalize! Can set it much 'finer' than when the box goes through the Direct input! Which sounds much 'course or hard'; not hard in sound, but hard in frequency, so-to-speak. Just bothers the/my ears.

Usually, you just hear echo...and that's it, but with this head and cabinet: your Ears hear ALL THE SOUND, which is processed into her! And she does not discriminate what she is fed; processes it all to her best abilities! I use a Selector, to switch to the High and Low. Depending on what kind of sound I want to incorporate it, into. In the begin 70ties, I used the High and Low for switching to Lead/High and Normal/Low; when there were not good Boost pedals around, in those days and done on a replica of Marshall: London City/Power City(Dutch fabrications). Thus: my advice would be to utilize BOTH inputs, in such way as I do!? It is almost like playing a 2 channel head, but only both on the same settings, which for me...it no problem. The guitarist, is the one that makes it sound better, not? His contribution, while playing.
