^ Here in Australia the gap between a dual rectifier and this will be infinitely more... Say this retails for $2,500AUD (the Bugera that is), that's still $2,000 cheaper than an actual Dual Rec is...

I told you once... change the tubes and the 333xl kicks the jsx's assI'm expecting the TriRec to compare to the Dual Recto the same way the 333xl compared to the JSX when I tested them both a while back. To make a long story short I ran them both through the same cab, unplugging one and plugging in the other. I cranked them both, and tweak their knobs many many times. When upon comparing the two side-by-side, the JSX sounded better in every aspect.
I'm expecting the same here. Sure, you could buy a new TriRec for a bit less than a used Dual, but to the discerning ear that small gap in price means a considerable loss in tonal quality. That's my bit.

Where are they made?
If they're handbuilt in the USA, then they *might* be able to compete with Mesa's quality.

any info on when its going for sale??
im so wanting to try this amp
According to the site, they don't even have FCC approval to sell them in the US yet. So sometime after that, they should start shipping.
well im in europe so thats the first thing im lucky with lol yea and im damn lucky that i bought a mesa for 800 bucks
think im going to sell it for a magician or a trirec when more is clear if they are pure shit ill stick to the DC =)
thanks![]()
Same thing happened in the beginning, when Bugera first came out with their Peavey clones.
Apparently they like jumping the gun and putting products on their site before they're official cleared to be sold.
Though, I bet these will sell FAR better outside the US where even used Mesa's are big bucks.
Good news for the Australian guys like myself on the forum, the Australian RRP has just been announced on these things;
TriRec - $1499
Magician - $1299
Surprising, I would've expected that since the Magician is a combo, that it would've been more expensive.
Also, note that this is RRP and knowing most of the Australian dealers around here (Melbourne) it'll look something like this;
TriRec - $1200 - $1300
Magician - $1100
Don't take my word on that though, that's just going by what they normally take off Bugera's. (Y)
