"Tough to beat."

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!

"Bugera G5 - 5W Head"

Good quality - Great practice amp - volume easy to control and sounds good at low volumes (3 choices of power output settings). Two Channels and effects loop, input for MP3 and line out. Only thing it is missing is EQ on the Clean channel. At this price, I can live with that.

"Great Little Head"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

I got this today. This thing sounds wonderful. I set it to the .1 watt setting, plugged it into my marshal 4x12 cabinet, turned the volume to 10. Great tone, and nice and quiet, so no other room in the house could hear it, but I could still get controlled feedback and really nice sustain. On the 5 w setting it was a bit louder and you could probably gig with it if you mic your cabinet through the PA. This head is well worth the money. I love the sound even without pedals. It seems well made.

"Great for over 2 years... but now not so good"

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars

I really liked this amp for the features and the price point.Great for home practice and recording.Just turned it on and strummed a chord and the thing crackled and the volume fell off.Now it sounds very FIZZY flubbery. if you pick hard it gets loud on the 2 high strings for a split second then quite again. Bugera 1x12 speaker cab I tested with a solid state 1 watt amp and sound great. (not a speaker problem)I have contacted the warranty dept. and we will see if they step up or just make excuses. I will amend this after I find out.
