Product Rating Product Review Wow! What a beautiful looking amp head and sound. I highly recommend this amp head. I did my research before this purchase, best amp in all the comparisons videos I watched and articles that I read. I’ve been playing guitar for 25 years, trust me! This amp rocks!

Product Review I use this head in a bass setup and it gives a great vintage marshall sound. Well worth every penny for a great tone.

Product Review For many years I used various distortion pedals to achieve a good metal sound. I have tried to get a good tube sound with several different brands of amps including Marshalls, but always ended up going back to the pedals. I gave the Bugera a try on the recommendation of a friend. It took me a while to get it dialed in, but once I did I was very pleased with the clear warm sound of the amp. Once you balance the controls on the front with the knob in the back of the amp you can get a killer sound out this head. I guess the Randy Rhodes modifications actually work. I love the sound I'm getting now. Definatly worth the money.

Product Review I'm on my 3rd Amp in 9 months. I sent the 1st one in after 6 months it just died , they sent it back saying nothing was wrong with it which is a load cost me $40.00 to ship it to the center. When I got it back after a month it was dead . Had to send it back this time it was free shipping. After 2 weeks they again told me nothing was wrong with it , I told them that was crap and to fix it. The next day Bugera headquaters called me say tht they were having problems with that service center and they were shipping me a new amp. Great Right ? Wrong. The new amp was defective when played it cuts out then comes on then cuts out , on and on . I thought it was going to blow up my cabinet. Called Bugera again and the said they would send me another new one. Time goes by haven't heard from them about when the new one was coming so I called them again. They told me that they are really busy and don't know when they were going to ship it. So i hope you get the gist of this Review. Don't Buy One.

This amp is a beast of tone!

Product Review Loud and proud...I couldn’t believe the tone I was getting from this amp, especially when I bypassed the master volume. The lower left input cascades the two channels and that’s where the magic happens. The effects loop works great and the amp overall has a very low noise floor. Very impressed for an amp at this price. I wish I would have bought one years ago!

This thing is loud

Product Review This thang can get very loud. It is super clean, it takes pedals well. The bright channel is a little harsh,well a lot harsh. The sound that comes out of this channel does not even make sense. The bass channel is a bit muddy when you combine the two it mellows it out,but if you like to use pedals you can tweak them and get a pretty good tone out of this thing. It's defiantly part of my rig ,I love bugera amps. I have a trirec ,1960, two 2/12 bugera cabs, the 1990 will be the next one and so on (yes) so on. I'd like to give a big shout out to AMS they are awesome. Why would you go anywhere else? You get great Customer service, free one year warranty,two day shipping on most products,affordable payment (three payment) is the way to go but they have 3,4,5,8,12 payment plans. I can't say enough good things about them. I buy a lot of gear, they're my number one place to go.

V8 power at a V6 price

Product Review Im going to start this with some advice. If you are looking for a modern sounding high gain metal machine stop now. Also try and turn off the part of your brain that tells you budget brands are instantly crap. With that out of the way this amp is like paying $400 and getting an angry rhino. This amp is 100 percent untamed power. If you live in an emvironment where volume is going to be an issue this is definitely not your amp. Unfortunately the master volume mod just robs this amp of its goodness. This amp is pretty much all clean headroom without an attenuator. This amp is a pedal users dream. The treble channel for me can be a little to bright for my liking but bring in the bass channel and roll off the presence and treble and boom happy. Definitely throw some new pre and power amp tubes in this thing and its good to go. These infinium amps are legit people. Dont let the past scare you. Behringer is building these amps like tanks.

From the first 1960 to the new 1960 Infinium there has been a lot of hard work on the part of the Behringer Company,who owns Bugera?My honest facts about these Tube Amps?In a period not exceeding 5 years from now these will be the Tube Amp Heads/Combo's to try and buy!I've seen this Business work harder than any other competition in there field.Great price,and the big secrete is these 1960 models for this year has the full Randy Rhodes Modifications to them!If you want that Hendrix sound,or the Duane Allman sound,these Bugera 1960's are as close as you'll ever buy.The only correction remaining to fix is to add the "CERAMIC" inputs for the 6L6's instead of the plastic type. On the road I've installed the "CERAMIC" Marshall Plexi fixtures for all Tubes instead of the Bugera Stock ones!I've got two of these Plexi Heads,and both with the Randy Rhodes packages with the Marshall Ceramic inputs for tubes,and they can take it baby!!!The "ROAD" or the Studio you get the same sound,all the time every time!Just make the simple mod's with the Marshall inputs and you'll get a deal that you want to keep it your secretes?"SOLID"! Your general opinion of this product. Greater today than three years ago,and I can't hardly wait to see there obligations to "QUALITY" from the Behringer Commitments.And never mix your "EFFECTS PEDALS"?Go to Behringer's web page,and the first purchase?The HO2 Wa Pedal with the BIG TUBE OVER DRIVE TUBE SCREAMER!And from there see how many pedals you can select from? Now this is a very grey area for most?Do not make this harder than you have too?A American Stratocaster is "FAT",and "TONEY"!You'll get all the Jimi Hendrix sounds you have searched for!And a solid mix is the OLDIR but GOODIE,a TELE?Now get you a Standard Gison Les Paul with the 59 Classic Pick Ups,and tune to "E",and a good Glass Bottle Slide,and you'll dig right into Duane Allmans sound?No big secretes "MUSIC HEADS"! Read previous remarks? As stated in previous statements the "QUALITY" will exceed your expectations!Just make "MODS" with the simple Marshall inputs. Quick responsive,very toucy baby.

Great bass amp

This amp is a mixed bag; fit and finish seem good, and the transformers look nice. The tube sockets are pcb mounted-not cool. the knobs have a nice feel as do the switches; tubes test very good and are low in microphonics. For the price, I think this is well-made. Hopefully the cheap input/output jacks and cheapo plastic tube sockets will hold up. Too new to tell, but I am not without concern. Your general opinion of this product. This gives you the classic Marshall Superbass sound, and within it's power rating, it makes an excellent bass amp if you wish to sound like Lemmy or Bruce; as a guitar amp, I cannot judge except with regard to construction. Overall I do believe that this is a bargain if you want a gigantic head that covers the Marshall tone pretty well. One feature I absolutely love is the auto-biasing circuit. I have swapped out the EL-34's for 5881, 6L6, Kt88 and 6550's with absolutely no problem, but with obvious tonal changes-this is a GREAT circuit.

I do think it was made well.... but the orange light started flashing in front, and the infinium valve monitoring in back had turned on.. and it went soundless. i turned it off for a few mins and it was normal again. IDK, ive only had it for 24 hours but it seems like a very well reliable amp. Your general opinion of this product. im only 18 and i dont really know much about setting up a plexie style amp... but when i got it to my specs it was wonderful. GET IT AND TRY IT, who cares what thoes people say and how "crappy" they are... its a great product, you wont regret it. do payments and try it!! it plays great. even on low volumes... even better loud.. dont piss off the nieghbors lol the tone is the 60s, good for that classic vintage tone.. awesome for van halen it looked very well no noticeable mess ups or anything.. its very basic and i love it (:

Very well made with great wiring and solid craftmanship. No cheap parts here. So far so good. Your general opinion of this product. Great tone and very loud. Very comparable to the amp it is inspired from - try it and you will find out. Great price point for this type of amp.
