The mighty 6L6 power tube is known for its crisp and driving tonal quality when pushed to the max, and the V55 harnesses every last ounce of that power to awesome read more effect.

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 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.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I have been reviewing amps for about a year, because I found myself constantly trying to dial my tone in on my last amp, which just died on me after 4 years. It was an all tube that I purchased new for around $600. I chose this Bugera because of the price/features this amp offers. This amp sings!!!! I bought the last one zZounds had in stock at the time and I'm glad I did.
