Bugera

Bugera, a brand under the KMC Music group, emerged in the mid-2000s offering a surprising range of guitar and bass amplification and instruments. Initially known for leveraging existing manufacturing relationships in China to deliver traditionally premium features at more accessible price points, Bugera has built a reputation for providing a considerable amount of value for the money, often emulating classic amp designs. Their 'Infinium' tube technology has become a distinguishing characteristic in recent years.
