Bugera V5 Infinium 5W 1x8 All Tube Guitar Combo Amp

The Bugera V5 Infinium tube combo amp puts legendary valve tone into a compact and lightweight open-back design. Powered by vacuum tubes, including a 12AX7 in the preamp and an EL84 power tube, it produces dynamic analog tone with rich harmonics and natural compression. Dial in everything from sparkling clean sounds to overdriven crunch with the 3-band equalizer, letting you shape your tone with Treble, Middle and Bass controls, along with Presence for adding brilliance and bite. Attenuate the power down from 5W to 0.1W with the built-in attenuator to achieve cranked amp tone at lower volumes. The high-definition reverb effect adds dimension and room ambience to suit your music. Infinium tube life extending technology automatically monitors and optimizes performance so you can enjoy consistent tone over the lifespan of the tubes. The V5's open-back design and single 8" speaker make it easy to transport to gigs or studio sessions when vintage tube tone is called for. All-Tube Design With EL84 Power Tube The V5 Infinium harnesses the sweet, rounded tone of an EL84 power tube to generate its 5 watts of all-tube power. Known for its rich harmonics and smooth overdrive when pushed hard, the EL84 is a favorite in classic British amps. It's complemented here by a 12AX7 preamp tube that provides everything from pristine clean tones to glorious crunch. The V5 faithfully recreates the interactive dynamic between preamp and power amp that is the hallmark of an all-tube design. You'll hear and feel the amp react and respond as you dig in, with the 12AX7 adding warmth and the EL84 contributing chime and complexity. Versatile Tone-Shaping With 3-Band EQ Dial in your signature sound with the V5's flexible equalizer section. It provides intuitive Treble, Middle and Bass controls so you can tweak the tonal balance to suit your guitar and playing style. Cut or boost mids to find the sweet spot in a mix. Emphasize treble for added bite and presence. Boost lows to make single notes pop or tighten up the bass response. The Presence knob is perfect for adding sizzle and clarity to your sound. Finding your ideal tone is easy with this versatile EQ. Built-In Attenuator for Lower Volumes While a mere 5W can seem loud in smaller spaces, the V5 Infinium allows you to attenuate the power down to 0.1W with its built-in attenuator. Crank up the gain to overload the EL84 power tube and achieve authentic vintage crunch at a volume that won't overwhelm. The lower settings are great for home use or studio tracking, letting you experience the interactive dynamics of a tube amp near its breaking point, without blowing the doors off. It's like having three amps in one. Add Dimension With High-Definition Reverb To put the perfect finishing touch on your tone, the V5 Infinium features a studio-quality reverb effect. Easily adjust the amount of reverb from a subtle sheen to a spacious wash with a single knob. High-definition reverb adds a sense of depth and dimension that brings your playing to life. Use just a touch to thicken up the tone or go for longer decay times when you want your sound to swim in ambience. Infinium Extends Tube Life Proprietary Infinium technology means you'll spend less time replacing tubes and more time playing your music. It automatically monitors tubes and optimizes operating points for extended lifespan compared to conventional designs. You'll enjoy consistent tone as tubes age. Compensating for lower AC line voltage, Infinium keeps your tubes sounding great. It even indicates when tubes are reaching end of life via an LED. Thanks to auto-biasing, you just swap in a new tube without a trip to the tech. Infinium lets your tubes perform better and last longer.
