This demo helped sway me to buy one, also subscribed to this channel after finding this. The review was 100% on point with what the amp was when delivered. My only dislike on the amp is the max volume relies heavily on the gain knob. Super happy for the price. I previously had a Vox AC4tv-12 and it was terribly bright and a miserable amp to use, and twice the price.

Its funny I had a similar experience except im a beginner and I bought a fender bassbreaker 007 for $410. I decided after seeing a demo by Thommans guitars on 6 budget amps to get this, so I refused delivery of the bassbreaker which is great but its all gain no clean and the pedals I just invested were useless so that's my story why I just went thru all that ????lol

I just got one of these for Christmas! I played it in church this morning at 5 watts, volume dimed, gain at 3. I LOVE the sound. With my tele it breaks up just enough to keep make a nice tone at a manageable volume. I was having trouble cutting through mix, so I ended up using my compressor is a clean by pushing the level which worked great. So glad to see a proper video on this amp!

I just re-purchased this amp.(had the original with the blue jewel light). I got rid of it to upgrade to my tweed BJ III. Then I missed having a small practice amp and bought a BC15 on sale. It was ok for a while but I ended up playing the newer V5 at my local Guitar Center and fell in love with it again! This amp is made for Teles!!

Bought this Bugera V5 Infinium amp today, 9/22/2018 at Guitar Center on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood . Used a 2018 Fender Stratocaster Mexican made Player Series SSH. It just has such a thick, crunchy, fat sound with a little hint of dirt if pushed in the gain mode. Clean is my favorite sound on this amp at 5 watts. When set at 0.1 watt it's a very good practice level for room use. My son is 10 years old and it's just perfect for his practice level so he can play without any possible ear damage. I have Fender Deluxe's, Marshall's etc..this amp is great for it's price point and specific player in mind, practice, bedroom level amp!!

I have a V5 and it's a great little amp. Because I like to mod things I put more in upgrades into this amp than it's worth but in the end it's a beast. Upgraded the OT, added a choke, and stuffed a 10" speaker inside. It is a very loud 5 watts so good thing there's an attenuator.

sounds wonderful with the Tele and vol and gain on 12. Really really lovely. I am tube rolling in mine at the moment. Currently liking a 6p14p-ev in the power section and a Marshall branded 12ax7. Really opens it up and brings some great brightness to it. Also playing it through a Bugera 112TS cab with a Turbosound speaker.

Bought one based on this review; actually, I traded my Traynor for it straight up. Probably took a hit but the Traynor was too loud for my purposes plus my Crate V1512 really does everything my YCV 40 did. Very cool little amp that has some surprising balls to it. No regrets at all.

I have the Bugera V22 and I think it's just a fine amp. For what I paid, I am very happy with it. It has all the bells and whistles, like the effects loop, two channels, reverb...hell, I use pedals for my tone anyways, so I basically just need a good clean channel, and the one on the V22 is just fine.

So, check it out I use mine just about daily and I play it with the Bugera G5 amp through a 1/12 cab as well. When the two amps are played simultaneously they make an incredible blues tone you get a clear crisp tone out of the G5 and as you know a distorted edgy blues tone out of the V5. I use the morely abc pedal to split out the signal and sometimes use other amps to get other sounds like metal and rock. I really love this amp for just about all the same reasons you do: so, do yourself a favor and work up an amp blend you will not be disappointed.

Nicely done review! To me the Telly cleanish at 5W near the end of review is this amps forte. Witch makes sense to me because its basically a Fender 1959 Champ type influenced amp (Designed for the Telecaster sound). Match made in heaven as far as Im concerned. I have one from 2012, and I love it with my Strat. and yes the reverb is surprisingly good. my 2 cents, its averygoodamp.

Good demo. Thanks. I was interested in the new version with the Turbosound speaker. I have the previous version. I love it with single coils, but too dark for me with humbuckers. Takes pedals well and sounds good plugged in to a 1x12 (can handle playing with a drummer on 5 watt mode...or mic it and you're set). Headphone out is a huge plus with a baby and a toddler in the house. Dig the channel...keep up the good work.

Fantastic amp (and great playing!). I put a Jensen mod8, NOS EI 12ax7, and a NOS USSR 6P14P tube in it, and it will get you that last little bit of brightness you need out of it. The stock speaker is way dark, and the tubes aren't very awesome either. With those 3 little changes, I play this thing more than any of my other amps.

I've got this same amp (Infinium) a few month ago and man Im in love with it for home use. My baby boy can sleep in the other room while Im rocking overdriven amp in 0,1 Watt :D Also agree with you that this isnt an amp for humbuckers, but sounds awesome with my P90's and single coils too. Love the sound of the Blue Turbosound speaker. Also agree with the Tone needing more trebble. What I do to remedy this I use a NUX Drive Core which also has an onboard Boost and use its Tone knob for adding extra trebble. Btw, I also tried this amp with a Goldfoil China made pickup in the neck position and man its sooooo creamy! Nothing but Love for Bugera! Now even the poor people like me can afford a fine sounding tube amp!

@mrtambourineman6107 7 жыл бұрын

Che Guebuddha How's it perform cranked up loud? I'm thinking of getting one for the low volume but wondering how far you can push it at full volume. Also does it have an output facility?

@Cheguebuddha 7 жыл бұрын

I dont like the sound of the cranked up Gain because this small speaker and small body make it sound too mid rangey and hence it sounds boomy to my ear. BTW, Voulume can be pushed but Gain is the one that causes muddyness for me if cranked. If I need to crank it I use an OD and Cream Heavens open up ;) It has a 4Ohm speaker out and it has a Phone out which I used as Line Out successfully.

I had this amp a while back. It's a dark, muddy sounding amp which is cool for blues. I feel like this amp is best for fender"ish" single coil guitars- really muddy with les pauls. The main issue with this amp is it's quality. My amp within 3 months had really bad static in the speaker (not a good distortion haha). Took it back and the techs could not figure it out either. Seems to be a common problem though from what I researched. I turned it back in and got a Vox ac4c1-12, which is great! Buyer beware!

@davidtrueslayor7474 5 жыл бұрын

Got to say, I'm pleasantly surprised by the tone of the amp. For someone needing a small home/travel amp, would you recommend this or the Line 6 30w?

I already have a Fender Blues Deluxe, and this Bugera seems to stay somewhat in the same ballpark.
