With a built-in power attenuator and headphone output for silent playing, the V5 is a great practice amp. The all-tube design features 12AX7 and EL84 valves.

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. Sporting a gorgeous vintage look and feel, the V5 serves up 5 beautiful, tube-soaked, Class-A Watts in all your favorite flavors through an amazing, class-leading 8" TURBOSOUND speaker. Additionally, the VINTAGE V5 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 an extremely versatile Vintage Equalizer with Tone control for sculpting the sound of your dreams. Enhancing the flexibility of this do-it-all combo, our revolutionary INFINIUM Tube Life Multiplier Technology makes tube replacement incredibly simple -- so you can spend more time playing your music.

Classic All-Tube Design

The VINTAGE V5 INFINIUM features true Class-A technology with a 12AX7 front-end and an EL84 power stage. A masterfully crafted all-tube combo amplifier, the V5 provides sweetly-balanced harmonics and natural tube compression, resulting in the warm distortion and break-up you've come to appreciate from those vintage megaliths of yesteryear -- only in a much more portable and attractive package. The hand-selected 12AX7 preamp tube in V5's classic '60s-era preamp provides everything from sweetly-purring blues to mind-blowing crunch. Often employed in British-style amplifiers, the EL84 output tube is known for its crisp and chiming tonal quality when read more pushed to the max, and the V5 harnesses that power via the built-in power attenuator for the ultimate guitar tone at any volume level.

High-Definition Reverb

Adding to its impressive list of tone-shaping options, the VINTAGE V5'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.

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 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.

Wow! I play a lot of ZZ Top AND MAN THIS IS A GREAT LIL’ amp!! Swapped out the stock Bugera 12ax7 for a Tungsol ! I upgraded the Preamp tube after auditioning it for about 5 minutes. And what a big difference!! I don’t really need to upgrade the EL84 But I ordered a JJ ANYWAY. I also ordered a Jensen CR8 for a Speaker swap but as I said it sounds so good with just the preamp tube replaced. Hell Yeah! It Sounds great!! Very happy with this purchase.
