Bugera T5 Infinium

My Marshall JTM head died (it just needed new tubes thankfully) and I decided to buy one of these to sit on top of my cab and use at home whilst I sorted the JTM out.
This thing is great! It sounds very tubey and takes my pedalboard well. The reverb is also better than some pedals I’ve owned over the years.
There’s no fx loop or DI out but I don’t use those anyway. Also, the gain knob is needed to be turned up in order to increase volume when the “phat” button isn’t pushed in. But it keeps some headroom and I prefer to use it that way with pedals pushing it.
The build quality is great and the fact it tells you when the tubes are on the way out and replacement ones don’t need to be biased was another bonus. (Replacing the tubes on the Marshall head was expensive and awkward).
I still use this for bedroom playing and have taken it to open mic nights and used it with a cab at the venue to ensure I keep my tone but don’t have to carry much.
Highly recommended, excellent value for money.

Initially, I intended to buy a Harley Benton Tube15 combo (it packs a Celestion 70/80 speaker) for home based playing. However, for 50 Eur more, I went for this little chrome lunchbox and a Celestion 12" V30 speaker - and I think I hit the spot. Build quality and handling are great and easy. It sounds great through a V30 12" speaker, and handles a TS clone as a boost really nice together with the rest of the pedalboard. Power soak feature is a must for bedroom playing - and it works ellegantly. PHAT switch is interesting enough. The only disadvantage is the lack of digital-out for recording, but I'll hang a dynamic mic in front of the cabinet and plug it in the audiointerface. Overall, I think this is the best-buy all-tube head for bedroom blues/rock playing.

Wasn't sure what to expect from this little head but have been pleasantly surprised, running it through a small 1x10 cab with a Jenson speaker it sounds great at low volumes, so is perfect for home use.

Ive found that by setting it to the .1w setting and engaging the "Phat" button that it seems to put back the low end that is sometimes lost with other attenuated amps.

I cant talk about screaming rock or metal tones as I play mainly blues but for what I want this head does a pretty decent job and for the price is amazing.

This could be the amp Ive been looking for for years, one that I can get a good crunchy tone from at very low volume that doesn't upset the neighbors or even the wife in the next room, so far its perfect.

Our nearby hourly rehearsal rooms have big Marshall cabinets that you can crank, with puny solid state amps. Lame! Enter the Bugera T5 Infinium, a lightweight yet beefy tube amp that fits in a backpack! Gives you a clean tone that sounds great loud, which sounds so nice when you push it so it's just breaking up. The fat switch gives it more gain, so you get a thick overdriven tone, which you can also attenuate - really nice. Do 'em a favor and get two - one for the clean tone, one distorted, going through two separate speakers - just like your favorite shoegaze bands of yesteryear. Bam!
