Old-school Vibe with Modern Versatility!

The Bugera V22HD Infinium tube head packs a powerful punch in a 22-watt design. The 2-channel V22HD Infinium has three 12AX7 preamp tubes for pure tube-driven tone and a duo of EL84 tubes in the power amp stage. Whether you want creamy clean tones or burning overdrive, the V22HD Infinium has got it. You also get a vintage equalizer section with bass, mid, and treble controls, normal and bright inputs to help match your guitar to the amp, and a mode switch that lets you change the tubes between triode or pentode operation. A mid boost and a presence control round out the tone-shaping capabilities of the V22HD Infinium. You get a footswitch for switching channels and turning the built-in reverb on and off. If you want a versatile all-tube head at a great price, look no further than the Bugera V22HD Infinium guitar head.

Classic all-tube design provides sweet harmonics and warm distortion

Inside the Bugera V22HD Infinium amplifier head you'll find three 12AX7 preamp tubes, as well as two EL84 power tubes, giving you classic all-tube tone. The hand-selected 12AX7s provide you with everything from smooth harmonics to aggressive crunch, while the EL84s really drive the V22HD Infinium when pushed to the max. With the V22HD Infinium, you can conjure up anything from crisp chiming to classic crunch to metallic screaming.

Modern features provide you with a wide tonal palette

The Bugera V22HD Infinium amplifier head is definitely not a one-trick pony. Featuring a 2-channel preamp, you have access to both clean and high-gain tones. You also get a classic-style 3-band EQ (bass, mid, and treble) with a presence control, allowing for plenty of sound-tweaking. Finally, normal and bright inputs let you match the V22HD Infinium to your electric guitar's tonal characteristics in order to optimize your tone.

Infinium technology takes the hassle and expense out of tube tone

Sweetwater guitarists agree that there's no tone like tube tone. But we also know that the cost involved in owning and maintaining a tube guitar amplifier can be prohibitive. Solid-state amps have come a long way, but there's just something special about true tube tone, and Bugera's Infinium technology means no more compromising what you want. The Infinium circuit is designed to optimize the performance of your output tubes and distribute the load evenly between the tubes, giving you tonal integrity and reliability. By automatically adjusting current levels, aging tubes are compensated for and your tone retains that toasty, day one sound throughout its life. Tubes, by nature, do wear out and die, but when you play an Infinium amp, you'll never worry. This exclusive technology allows you to grab whatever replacement tube you have on hand and get back to playing - there's no matching necessary. In fact, now you can mix and match tubes to create your very own signature sound without the hassle and expense of buying matched pairs. And because Infinium is a bit like having your own guitar amp tech with you on every gig, you get up to 20 times more life out of your tubes. When it is time to change one out you'll know exactly where to go, thanks to the life monitoring LED readout that keeps you in the know about your amp's health. Only Bugera makes the joy of owning and playing a tube amplifier this accessible and easy!

Vintage Sound

My 1971 HIWATT Custom 50 head had issues so I found this 22 watt Bugera head. Styled with similar controls, all tube and with reverb. It gives me the warm rich sound with the tube "Punch" that powers my 412 Music Man speaker cabinet. Sounds great with the single coil pick-ups on my Fender Strat. Very impressed and a Great price!
Music background: Little but Enough...

Amazing

First I would like to thank Greg for helping me with this order of my Bugera V22hd Infinium head. Owning a number of quality name brand amps I was amazed at the versatility of this amp. I have it paired with a Fender Deluxe cab with a Celestion g12 speaker. It sounds great. Real clean and real dirty and everything in between. Can get real chimey or bluesy. It has plenty of headroom for decent size venues. It is so much fun. Thanks Sweetwater.
Music background: Playing professionally for 55 years. Also worked with Atlantic, Island, and Sony Records on various projects. Studio name is JamaicaJo.

CHANGE THE TUBES AND WOW,

I did a previous review on the Bugera v22. Just wanted to add it has Bugera tubes installed in it and they are not the greatest of Tubes. I changed the Pre amp to Gold Lion and the output tube to Groove Tubes and WOW! This amp sounds SOOO sweet now! I just sold the Origin 50. To me this Bugera v22 now sounds like a cross between a Marshall and a Fender. I am wishing I would have got the V55 now!!
Music background: Experienced.

Very Nice Amp Head!

In the past this brand had some quality and tech issues but I believe that has all been resolved. It is a very well made beautiful cabinet and offers more features then the Marshall Origin 50 I own as well.
The Origin is a good powerful Amp made Indonesia under Marshall specs but with only one input one channel not high gain and no reverb. The Bugera is made in China Under Bugera specs. Offers two inputs clean and high gain channels as well as a very nice reverb! The Origin offers and 10 25 50 watt power select which is nice. The Bugera has Pentode and Triode for full and half power. The Origin speaker out offers either 2 16 ohm speaker out or 1 8 ohm out with no attenuator. The Bugera offers a 4 8 16 out attenuated and you can run mismatched impedance which is very cool! One thing I really like is the dash board and you can clearly see the numbers and pot functions with cream on black layout. I can barely see what it reads on the Origin 50. Both the Origin and Bugera offer effects loops which is great. The Bugera also has a stand by switch. The Origin does not
In my opinion this Bugera V22 amp sounds wonderful! It seems to sound better each time I use it. Even with the stock pickups in a Fender Strat Squire. I am running into a home made cab with 4 10 Eminence Cannabis Rexs and a 1815 Eminence in a generic cab. At the $500.00 price point and two year warranty offered by Sweet water I am pleased with this purchase. I run mainly clean but use a pedal distortion over the gain channel at times. I have not opened it up but can see some Red on the Tubes so probably using JJ s same as the Origin. If you can not spend Thousands of dollars on a Tube Amp this is definitely one to consider!
Rated 5/5

Pleasantly surprised

Love this amp. I paired it with a Laney 1X12 and it sounds great. It works well with pedals. I utilize both channels. It took a bit to dial in the gain because it was a little too much fuzz for me but was able to dial it in. I thought because of the price point I was compromising but it really doesn't seem like it. I thought all the positive reviews were just wishful thinking but believe them.
