Saturate your setup with the classic British tone of an EL34-equipped amp. The Bugera T50 Infinium cranks out 50 blistering watts of harmonically rich tone.

When you think of classic British rock, the sound is undeniable. It's the stuff dreams are made of, that sweet clean-crunch that spawned a generation of legendary players and the music that has stood the test of time. Bugera packed all that iconic tone, and all the edgy character of a modern high-gain amp into a small, but powerful package -- the Bugera T50 Infinium Guitar Tube Amplifier Head! They've added a no-compromise post-phase-splitter, dual-VR Master Volume that lets you attenuate the signal right before the power tubes for full harmonic content at any level, and a huge output transformer for increased dynamic response and clarity. With 4 x 12AX7 tubes and 2 x EL34 power tubes, the T50 is capable of covering vast sonic territories with remarkable ease. A true 2-channel amplifier, the Clean and Lead channels are completely independent, and each has its own custom-tailored 3-band tone stack (Treble/Mid/Bass) for the ultimate in tone shaping.

The T50's push-pull power section delivers 50 Watts of solid rock 'n' roll and features their revolutionary Infinium Tube Life Multiplier Technology – which not only controls your output tubes' status, but can extend their lifespan by up to 20 times. The T50 Infinium also includes switchable Class-A and Class-AB operation, allowing you to choose Class-A for vintage silkiness, or Class AB for its raw and highly responsive power. Bugera topped it all off with a sweet-sounding, high-definition Reverb that lends an air of timelessness read more to your solo and rhythm parts, and a Phat switch to boost the sound character of your guitar playing even more. It all adds up to an all-tube amplifier with massive stage presence and unbridled versatility -- the incredible T50 Infinium!

I was looking for a tube amp head and a 112 cab. Like a lot of people I don't have a ton of money to spend, but I wanted something that would work for what I do. When I got the amp it worked and as advised a let the power tubes warm up before I used it. this is a list of features I really like. 1. A good built in reverb. 2. An effect loop. 3. A switch for 4,8 and 16 Ohm speakers. 4. Came with a foot switch that that controls the channels and turn the reverb on or off 5. Two channels. A clean and a dirty. 6. Responsive tone and volume knobs. 7. Four pre-amp and two power-amp tubes. 8. The Infinity self bias feature for changing tubes. 9. One of the best clean channels I've ever used on a tube amp. 10. Works very well with pedals and effects units. 11. A indicator in back to let you know if the tubes need to be replaced. 12. A great price for a 50 watt all tube amp. 13. Looks great, almost like a Vox Night Train(which I believe Bugera modeled this after). 14. Works extremely well with the Burgera 112TS cab. Great cab by the way. 15. Has a fat switch which is helpful for people using single coil pickups in their guitars. These are the thing I didn't care for. 1. A fairly bad dirty channel. It tends to get fizzy sounding when bring up the gain. 2. The Tone Cut Knob in my opinion is pretty much useless. It kill your tone and sounds like a wet blanket was put over the speaker or speakers. Maybe if you use it slightly I could see a use for it, but you're better off using your EQ and/or read more adding an EQ to your effects loop. 3. The stock tubes aren't that good, but then again you can't except much for an inexpensive tube amp. I love and enjoy playing different kinds of music, but I love my metal :). Here's my temporary fix until I swap out the power tubes with a couple good 6L6s(they'll tighten up the sound of this amp a lot because this amp has a natural low tone), what I do is run a Line 6 Firehawk FX through the effects loops. What I do is lower my pre-amp gain to 4 or 5, use an HD Screamer or the HD Tube Overdrive, use a compressor to tighten up my sound and use the EQ on the Firehawk to level the tone to minimize the fizzy distrortion so I get a more than usable tone. Once I have some new 6L6GT power tubes in there it should be 100%. Overall this is a great value that has an awesome clean channel and a dirty channels that's great at anything from blue to hard rock, but to get into the metal territory you'll need an overdrive pedal pushing the front end of this amp.
