No longer available at zZounds
Get incredible tonal versatility you wouldn't expect from a 5-watt head. The 3-band EQ is modified with the Morph feature to mix between US and UK flavors.

The timeless design and sound of the all-tube amp has made its indelible mark on countless beloved tracks spanning the history of the electric guitar. With the ultimate pursuit of those wonderfully saturated, vintage and modern tones in mind, we proudly present the Bugera G5 INFINIUM.

Sporting a gorgeous modern look and feel, the G5 serves up 5 beautiful, tubesoaked, Class-A Watts in vintage, as well as modern flavors. Additionally, the G5 INFINIUM features an integrated high definition Reverb; a built-in 2-way Power Attenuator, so you can achieve the ultimate sound at any volume, and the extremely versatile MORPH EQ for seamlessly sweeping between vintage U.S. and British-style tone. Enhancing the versatility of this do-it-all head, the revolutionary INFINIUM Tube Life Multiplier Technology makes tube replacement incredibly simple - so you can spend more time playing your music.

Classic Push-Pull Design

The G5 INFINIUM features a true Class-A amp head with an ECC83 front-end and a 12BH7 power stage. A masterfully crafted push-pull tube amp, the G5 provides sweetly-balanced harmonics and natural tube compression - resulting in the warm distortion and break-up you've come to appreciate from the vintage megaliths of yesteryear - only in a much more portable and attractive package.

INFINIUM Tube Life Multiplier Technology

Years in the making, the INFINIUM Tube Life Multiplier Technology can extend the usable lifespan of your amplifier's expensive power tubes by up to read more 20 times, saving you huge money and ensuring the integrity of your tone. How? This revolutionary circuit automatically and continuously monitors the performance of each output tube, and dynamically drives it towards the target operating point, for an evenly distributed load.

INFINIUM also compensates for the effects of aging, automatically adjusting current levels to keep your tubes sounding as good as new - even when AC line voltages drop below nominal levels. Similar technology has been used for decades in all-wheel drive cars, where systems modulate the power going to each wheel to improve traction. Just consider INFINIUM Series amps "4-wheel drive" for your guitar.

MORPHING - Jump the Atlantic Ocean

Bugera's proprietary MORPH EQ control lets you instantly jump the Atlantic Ocean, to give your music either classic U.S. or British-style EQ tone - or anything in between! Why choose between two great sounds? The G5 INFINIUM gives you the best of both worlds, and all the subtle shades in between.

High-Definition Reverb

Adding to its impressive list of tone-shaping options, the VINTAGE G5 INFINIUM's high-definition Reverb puts the perfect finishing touch to your signature sound. Adjustable via the dedicated control on the front panel, you can finally achieve any sound you desire - from a subtle touch to the cavernous, natural-sounding reverberation of a large arena.

Power Attenuator and Speaker Emulation - YourBest Tone at Any Volume

The convenient, built-in Power Attenuator allows you to operate the G5 INFINIUM at your choice of 5 Watts, 1 Watt, or even 0.1 of a Watt, so you can get everything from sweet and sassy to maximum tube saturation at any volume level. This amazing feature alone makes the G5 worth its weight in gold! And if you prefer to monitor your tone through headphones, the G5 has you covered with its incredible speaker-emulated output, that allows you to get the vibe and sound of either a 1 x 12 or 4 x 12 cabinet - selectable by you!

Footswitch and FX Loop Included

You have all the tools you need, right out of the box! Included is a heavy-duty footswitch for channel and reverb selection to give you easy and convenient control of your tone, right from your pedalboard - allowing your focus to remain on your performance. The included FX Loop with effects level switch allows you to have complete control over your signal routing, optimizing your tone for your collection of pedals and external gear.

Uncompromising Quality and Sound

Long life and impressive durability are ensured, thanks to the high-quality components and exceptionally rugged construction found throughout.

Features - the wattage selection is a godsend! 0.1w is perfect for an apartment at full gain and half volume or less. The morph feature is nice for getting different tones plus the e's. And it comes with a footswitch. Everything I needed. Quality - it's not light and seems to be sturdy. I've already moved it a few times without a hint of weakness in the structure or handle. It's good looking too. A little wider than my Krank 1x12 tho so it's not "micro". Sound - clean and dirty both sound great for this price, and it should being tube pre and power. It can keep up with a drum set at full blast but it's very noisy saturated at that level. Haven't tried a 4x1w yet but I'm sure it only gets better when you let it breathe. Overall - highly recommend this amp for players that want something legit but volume is an issue. I intend to get the matching cab but not in a rush, very happy with it as it is!
