Classic All-Tube Design

A masterfully crafted all-tube combo amplifier, the V55 provides sweetly-balanced harmonics and natural tube compression, resulting in the warm distortion and break-up you've come to appreciate from those treasured vintage amplifiers of yesteryear. The hand-selected 12AX7 preamp tubes in VINTAGE V55 INFINIUM's classic '60s-era preamp provide everything from sweetly-purring blues to mind-blowing crunch. 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, 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.

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.

Own the Tone

The VINTAGE V55 INFINIUM's amazing tone-palette begins with its footswitchable, 2-channel (Clean and Lead) preamp. Tone-sculpting options abound, including an onboard 3-band Vintage EQ section (Bass, Mid, Treble) with Presence control. Normal and Bright inputs provide superb matching to your instrument's tonal characteristics.

Expandable

The output impedance selector allows you to match any external 4, 8 or 16-Ohm speaker setup. Plus, thanks to the V55's Mode switch, which selects between Triode and Pentode operation, you can instantly jump from sweet and warm to massively raucous high-gain edge.

I wish I had know about the Bugera V55 before I purchased my Vox AC30VR and eventually an AC15C1 because if I did I would have saved a lot of money.Feature that I like:I LOVE the beautiful retro look Build quality is excellent and it sounds even better than it looks.Triode and Pentode mode to cut down the power when you don’t need it.55 watts more than enough power but you can tweak the volume / tone even if you’re just playing in your bedroom. It has a pedal effects loop.Heavy duty foot switch that works well.3 year Mfg. warrantyThis amp is an absolute steal at the price….even a 2-3 times the price.Feature that I don’t like:I wasn’t aware of this amp before I purchased my other amps.none zZounds is great! I purchased this as a scratch and dent for $355. but it arrived in perfect condition with the box and full warranty. This is the second time that I ordered a scratch and dent from them and both amps arrived without any visible issues….just gotta love the deal!Remember to register you amp fro the warranty at:http://www.music-group.com/brand/bugera/support/product-registrationWith any product there can be problems and I can't honestly comment on product support because I never needed it. I hope I never need warranty service but it’s good to know that I’m covered.I can’t say enough good things about this little amp. If you’re on the fence about this amp just get it because you will love it.
