INFINIUM Tube Life Multiplier Technology

Years in the making, Bugera's INFINIUM Tube Life Multiplier Technology can extend the usable lifespan of your amplifier's expensive power valves by up to 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.
INFINIUM Series amps take all the guesswork out of tube replacement by illuminating an LED next to a tube that is reaching the end of its usable lifespan. And thanks to INFINIUM's Auto-Bias design, you simply replace the indicated tube - without a trip to the repair shop, saving you even more money.

Available exclusively from BUGERA, INFINIUM Tube Life Multiplier Technology is a major breakthrough in amplifi er design and manufacture, providing incredible reliability for your stage performance and more consistent sound over the lifespan of your tubes. Since they are always operating at optimal levels, your output tubes perform more predictably and last much longer, thanks to BUGERA's marvelous INFINIUM Technology, saving you some serious money!

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I have a 6l6 tube Peavey ValveKing 2 and wanted a more mid range(Marshall) amp for A/B/Y set up live. So researched like crazy and could of got anything but chose this . WOW !! the clean channel is pristine-clear..i always like my peavey clean but this just has that crisp clear tone. The amp is plenty loud, i usually play on 13 watt setting at home and lkck in 22 live. reverb is good, the mid boost button def punches solos thru. My first el88 tube amp. really finding the -opposite sound to 6l6 i was looking for. What is mind boggling is the price. Only feature i would add is xlr out so i can jam in mixer and headphones at night. great amp ..gig worthy and i can do smaller gig without pedals,plenty of sounds in this amp.quite possibly the best amp bang for the buck made !
