Manufacturer's Description for Bugera 6262 Guitar Amplifier Head (120 Watts)
The Bugera 6262 amp head is the guru of tone, designed for ultimate versatility for those who want every type of amp sound at their finger tips. From rock to country, metal to alternative, this one performs them all with raw massive power and roadworthy reliability, and virtually unlimited dynamics in a two channel configuration.
The 6262’s brutal power comes from 4 hand-selected and matched Bugera 6L6 power valves. 6 Bugera 12AX7 valves in the preamp add up for terrifying punch and mind-rattling gain. Plus you’ll love the detail in the fine reverb tails individually controllable on each channel.
Each channel features a vintage designed EQ section with Bass, Mid and Treble.

We added Impedance switching to match virtually any speaker cabinet, from 4, 8 to 16 Ohms. Plus you’ll love the detail in the fine reverb tails. The amp comes with a four-way, heavy-duty metal footswitch for channel and effects loop selection to tap your favorite effects.

Sound:
Hands down,THE BEST BANG FOR BUCK PERIOD!!!I own an original 5150 Block Letter,and with a few tweaks on the tone knobs it sounds almost identical,but quieter,BRUTAL DISTORTION,a far better clean channel than the 5150 and Reverb.And for $450 bucks,you can afford to buy both the 6260 and a 333,and still be under a G note,FANTASTIC!
Feature:
Includes a very sturdy,all metal,4 button footswitch,with REAL BUTTONS,not those crappy little nipples spread 2 inches apart that you end up pushing simultaneously.
Ease of Use:
If your familiar with the 5150 or 6505,you won't be disappointed,remember it's $450 bucks for a brand new amp,unless your a profesional musician,or a tone snob,you won't be disapointed.
Quality:
Built like a tank,nice tight smooth pots,should last a very long time.
Value:
Look,if you wan't a Marshall,buy a Marshall,but if you wan't a fantastic amp with that great American Metal Tone,than this is it!And keep in mind unlike the 5150 or 6505,this can be biased for EL34 Tubes with the flick of a switch.
Manufacturer Support:
I guess i'm fortunate,i've owned many amps over the years and have never had to deal with customer service,or any type of serviceing for my amps.
The Wow Factor:
Great looking amp,it's basically a 5150 copy!
Overall:
Look,I already see allot of Bugera bashing taking place on the net.This is from guys who haven't even test driven the unit,or have listened to sound clips online.If your into the whole name dropping thing,than please do us all a favour and don't comment.

"Do not overlook this amp"
Sound:
The sound quality on this amp is pretty good. For the price it is damn near amazing. The only issue I have with it is that the effects loop when running through the foot switch bleeds through. It is a very low level that comes through, but it still comes through. The clean channel sounds tight. I play active 81/85 pickups and they have a crisp sound to them clean which is unusual for them with the previous amps i have played through. When i play standard humbuckers or single coils they shine! The bright setting boosts the highs to where it sounds like you have a compressor in your loop bringing the highs out, and a chicken pickin tone. When switching to crunch (manually) it has good distortion tone. Not quite the nasty chunking rhythm that metal heads would go crazy for but a good distortion. The Lead channel is right down my alley with a crazy amount of distortion.
Feature:
Clean and lead both have their own presence and reverb controlls, also the reverb can be engaged or disengaged with the foot switch. i give it an 8 because the footswitch options are clean-lead-reverb-efx loop. If it had an option to go on the crunch setting it would be complete!
Ease of Use:
Plug into your guitar, and rock. Never understood how the presence worked seeing this is my first tube head and instructions are no help. Seems to pick up the percussive picking attack better with it cranked.
Quality:
Bought mine as a BLEM. well worth it. I will be banging it up while gigging so why not save 100 and let the factory put the first scratch in it.
Value:
Crushing EVH 5150/6505 style tone for 450? Come on this is a no brainer. I was looking into used marshall heads and for the price you cant come close to touch anything with 6 preamp and 4 power tubes.
Manufacturer Support:
When purchasing the tube head, the first one I ordered was missing the footswitch. I contacted zzounds and behringer. Bugera's email took about 3 weeks to respond just to tell me to call the behringer costumer support number. After calling them and waiting on hold for about 20 min they suggested that i return the unit back to zzounds. They said they could send a new footswitch, but would have to pay shipping. so it seems that if you do have an issue they will attempt to work with you even if the solution will not be in your best interest. It was easier to return the old one to zzounds and purchase a new one.
The Wow Factor:
Thinking of taking off the Bugera lettering on the front to keep people guessing.
Overall:
This is my head until i break it. I'm sure it will last for a while and i will be the cause of its demise :)
