I think Behringher have something to do with these as they used to have them listed on their site for a while and their products are not always reliable but are cheap and good value.
How about these British made amps then ? anyone tried them ? Some are hand wired I believe.

People who are interested by amps like Bugera are not professional musicians looking for the best, they only look for something as close as possible to Vox amps while being much less expensive...
And the Vox amps reliability being far from perfect, Bugera might not be worst...
