Tube Preamp, Maximum Tone

The 3 x 12AX7 tube gain stage, in concert with the passive Baxandall Bass and Treble controls, plus the active tube driven Mid EQ controls, read more delivers tone like only an authentic tube preamp amp can. Bugera's tube design operates at high voltages, providing this preamp with unheard of headroom to honor all of your playing dynamics; from your subtly-nuanced signature riffs and bass lines, to your most powerful, attention-grabbing solos. The VEYRON TUBE is all about tone, and this highly-versatile and responsive preamp provides an abundance of headroom for consistently crystal-clear and faithful sound reproduction, or just the right amount of tube grind in your tone, no matter what style of music your gig calls for.

Studio-Quality Optical Compressor - Stairway to Heaven

The studio-grade optical compressor is based on classic and famous studio equipment from the 70's. This totally transparent and musical compressor design allows your full dynamic range to shine through until your signal reaches the compression threshold, which is indicated by the highly visible status LED. The compressor increases sustain and gently smoothens out signal peaks, which is especially handy when you're laying down the funk, a la slap and pop, or hammering home your most aggressive metal lines. The resulting output level lets you unleash powerful and impact-laden bass lines, while still sitting right where you need to be in the mix!

DYNAMIZER Technology - The Secret Weapon

What is known as Parallel Compression or "New York" compression, is a dynamic range compression technique used as a secret weapon in high-end sound recording and mixing. Parallel compression is achieved by mixing an unprocessed "dry", or lightly compressed, signal with a heavily compressed version of the same signal. Rather than bringing down the highest peaks for the purpose of dynamic gain reduction, it reduces the dynamic range by bringing up the softest sounds, adding audible detail. It is most often used on stereo percussion buses in recording and mix down, on electric bass, and on vocals in recorded and live concert mixes. By working directly with the amplifier, our DYNAMIZER technology adds incredible detail and powerful, fat punch, so your sound is always impeccable, whether you're playing super-soft, or at the extreme volume levels that push a dB-meter to the max!

Sound Off

The passive Bass and Treble Baxandall EQ circuit provides the sound and feel of traditional tube amps, while the active, tube-driven Mid control, working in tandem with a sophisticated 3-position mid-frequency switch, helps you easily dial-in any tone you can imagine. A handy Mute switch allows you to tune up silently, and the -15 dB input switch enables you to jump between passive and active basses in a flash.

Get Connected

Equally adept in the studio, on the stage or in your practice room, the VEYRON TUBE is replete with convenient options and connectivity to help you get the job done. For recording and live performance applications, Bugera has provided a world-class, balanced DI output. Also included is a dedicated FX Loop for connecting your external effects and a switchable Tuner Output that's perfect for use with a tuner, or as a live monitor feed. An Aux input is provided for playing along with your favorite music, and the headphone output offers speaker cabinet emulation for superb tone while practicing. Bugera has even provided connectivity for our optional FSB102B footswitch, so you can remotely-control Mute and FX Loop functions.

When I retired my beloved Trace Elliot Stack, mainly due to size constraints, I went looking for a smaller Class D Head. Tried virtually everything out there, and even brands costing twice as much or more, didn't sound nearly as good as the Bugera BV1001T. I own two of them! The main reasons are this: The Bugera sports a 6 stage All Tube Class A pre-amp section, which the others don't, making for a much warmer, fatter, less compressed overall sound. It also features an optical compressor, which is extremely adjustable to any style.The controls are well laid out and very responsive. The mid frequency control will remind Ampeg fans of the old SVT's! The only reason I did not give it a full 5 stars is because Bugera did not make full use of the amp's capabilities in one area. As the unit has a tube pre-amp, why not put a drive section in the front panel, and on the footswitch, to be able to turn a little grit on, ala' the Trace Elliot AH1200. It would have made an already great amp even more versatile! As for it being 2000 watts? Not really sure about this, I run one of my BV1001Ts through 2 Bugera 2X10s and the other through A Bugera 2 X10, and one of their compact 1 X 15s, either set-up SPANKS!!! At least a 1000, maybe 1200 watts at 4 ohms. Bottom line is it is more than capable of playing just about any type of gig, with any style.
