Bugera V22 Infinium

Before deciding to buy this amp, I tried out all the top names and models in my price range but always found a reason to not go with one of those. Either due to the lack of a midrange control knob, too much of a tone difference between the clean and the OD channel, it being way too bright sounding or the worse which is not having enough clean headroom. For me the most important thing on an amp is a warm but crystal clear clean tone with lots of headroom. The second most important is that it take pedals great.The amp also has to be able to be played both at bedroom and club gig volumes.

I play with the Seymour Duncan Hot Rodded humbucker set on my Ibanez prestige ar2619 and was pleasantly surprised with the tone I was able to dial in, exactly what I was looking for, "Warm and crystal clear". Furthermore, all my pedals sound great on this amp which is no surprise when you can achieve such a full bodied and articulate tone.

For those who are curious about what pedals I use: Wah-Wah, OD, Fuzz, Octaver, Phaser, Tremolo, Envelope Follower, Analog Delay, and Digital Reverb.

Now to the pros: a warm and crystal clear clean tone, plenty of clean headroom, takes pedals great, really nice looking, nice sounding reverb p, sturdy and nice feeling foot pedal and last but not least, an incredible value for what it offers.

Now the cons: OD channel sounds best with the gain around 7 so its not as versatile as a pedal, I would have liked a bit more bass tone to work with, but it has enough, the reverb doesn't sound as good at high settings, the effects loop hisses slightly but then again, since I don't use the OD channel I put my pedalboard in the front of the amp and there it is dead silent.

So to sum this all up, I feel that unless you are looking for the specific sound that one of the well known brands offer and are willing to pay dearly for it, this amp should satisfy your needs and offer you good basis for your pedals.

A great value and equally great service from the people at Thomann!

After considering other tube amps combos for home hobby playing, I decided for this one. It has definetly not the sound od Princenton Reverb from Fender, but for 320 Eur, it is a good value.
With the external overdrive box or through the own overdrive chanel it gives the real rock experience and sound.
Playing the clear tones without any effects as in jazz music or similar, I would say, the sound is a bit doubtful. You have to work with setting to get the tone you desire.
My feeling is that the higher tones sounds, as the loudspeaker was made from old aluminium cooking pot. :-(
Of course, all regarding tones is rather about the feeling of your own ear.
The box of the amp seems to be solid, the knobs durable, footswitch made of metal as well, the diods in footswitch produce reasonable light and I am pretty happy with this amp.
If considering any kind of upgrade of this amp, the change of the Turbosound louspeaker seems to be an option.
I can reccomend this amp for those, they wish to have first tube amp experience, and save money at same time.

after reading and watching many reviews i was in two minds, its £200 how can this be anything but a pile off ****
obviously i went for it because for 1. thomann has great returns and 2. i have spent more on pedals that i dont use.
verdict...... this amp is an education to all of us, how something that was invented before the shopping bag can sound great without the ridiculous price tag.

i would babble on about the amazing sound and how well made it feels but theres plenty of that on the net. and really its down to your own ears to decide. all i can say is i may have to order another to keep in the loft just incase something ungod like happens to it. cause i may not be able to survive without it.

To be honest I have only just received this amp and turned it on at home I cannot turn up the volume so I cannot give it a proper going over.

The sound seems excellent,it is well constructed with an open back which I like, theres a very good speaker and lots of controls.
Turn it around and theres as much as the front.
It can be used with 1,2 or multiple speakers as its 4,8 and 12 ohms changeable ,theres an effects loop and a fine strong double pedal etc.etc.
The one drawback is the reverb,it is very poor.Very disappointing on such a nice amp but very understandable at the price.
There is plenty of volume it seems like more than 22 Watts.
This amp would be ideal for Home ,Garage ,Small clubs ,Bars and studio,not really suitable for large venues unless miked.

Would I recommend it yes I certainly would ,you would not get a good Valve amp anywhere at this price.
