Bugera V22 Amplifiers

These seemed to have a lot to offer in a combo. I have several tube amp heads, but I was open for a low watt combo & this is a good choice!! Good number of knobs for spit channel usage, Reverb included, & I get the Lead sound I'm looking for in this package. Well engineered & nice quality controls offer a value amp at very reasonable price. This one makes 2 of the same model from Bugera & I am pleased that it showed up after shipping - working just great!!

Great vintage tube tone for great price. Clean tones are rich and clear, gain channel can be fizzy at lower volumes but when driven are crunchy and fat. Despite all the reliability issues of past batches the newer Bugs are problem free. I did re tube with a set of matched jjs and the sound got even better.

Great tone from an amp of this price range. By replacing the preamp tubes and tweaking the bias, one can achieve a great sounding amp at a bargain price. Plenty of volume for smaller gigs or mic it and play anywhere. Love the vintage tele twang it delivers!

I was prepared to spend in the neighborhood of $1000 for a tube amp. I got the Bugera V22 for under $300. All tube (except the reverb) for under $300!!! And it sounds as good or better than any $600 dollar amp I tried. Perfect wattage for a bedroom hobby guitarist like me.

Have owned numerous amplifiers over my 46 years of playing. Bought the V22 on the recommendation of my son. Extremely impressed, to say the least. Very, very quiet for a tube amp. Two channels with effects loop are great, especially if you like to run your compressor, OD/distortion(s) and wah pre, and all your modulation effects through the loop. Great tones on both channels. The triode/pentode switch on the back is awesome. The triode sound is remarkably sweet, while the pentode sound has lots of growl when the lead channel is pushed. I play a 2007 Gibson ES-335 custom and a 2000 Fender American Strat; and the amp handles both the humbuckers and the single coils really well. Great headroom for it's wattage(s). Fit and finish is good, but I would have used a plywood cabinet instead of the MDF. You get a lot of amp for the $350.00 bucks. Just sold my Fender Blues Junior and plan on buying another V22 for my home. This is probably the best bang-for-the-buck tube amp around. I just can't see paying hundreds, if not thousands, more for a 'boutique' amp, when this amp can give you just about all the sounds you're looking for. My son just dropped a grand on an AC30, and I have no problem saying that my V22 sounds as good, if not better than his Vox. I wouldn't take this amp out on regular gigs due to the cabinet construction, but if yours stays put like mine (on the stage of my church) then you've got a winner. I don't hand out praise too often on equipment, but Bugera did their homework on this and got it right!
