Take your tone anywhere from dignified blues to garage-leveling madness.

The stunning Bugera V22 1x12 Tube Combo Amp not only exudes unbelievable sound, but this 22W amplifier also possesses modern flourishes capable of taking it to any corner of the musical landscape. Perfect for practice, home recording, or small club gigs, the Bugera V22 is a loud lad that channels its mojo from 2 EL84 power tubes. These give it the bratty, breakup-prone power amp compression—especially in the its triode mode—its 6L6GC-equipped siblings can only achieve at high volumes.

The Bugera V22 gives you everything that antique amps deliver—without the bloated price tags. Don't be fooled, though; the V22 tube amp packs a special feature that makes it much more than a tribute to the early days of guitar amplification. To explain, we must take a quick step back in time . . .

Before greasy juvenile delinquents hijacked the blues, guitar amps generally came in 2 species: those with triode (having 3 active electrodes) power valves and those with pentode (containing 5 active electrodes) power tubes. Triode valves, which came before pentodes, provide what a lot of guitarists describe as a "gentler" tone. Pentodes, on the other hand, are decidedly more "in-your-face." The Bugera V22 combo is built for power pentode tubes, but that doesn't mean you have to settle for a singular pentode personality. This Bugera amp includes a Mode switch for you to operate the power section as if it had triode tubes—at roughly 40 percent less power. So what'll it be today—old-school or oldest-school?

The sound of the Bugera V22 tube combo begins with a 2-channel (Clean and Lead) preamp. Plug into either the Bright or Normal inputs, then adjust the 3-band EQ (Bass, Mid, Treble) and Presence control to create a sound all your own. Its 3 12AX7 preamp tubes provide the V22 amp with a feast of fuzz. The dual EL84 valves in the power stage propel its terse cockney tone through a Bugera 12" speaker.

If you need to feed more speakers, the V22 amp's Impedance switch adjusts it to 4, 8 or 16 Ohms—which gives it compatibility with just about any speaker cabinet you can find. You also get reverb, but for utmost durability and sound, this classic effect is derived from a professional quality digital processor. The spring reverb found in antique amps sounded great, but they're delicate and expensive to repair. This modern touch on the V22 gives you a vintage sounding reverb sound that's every bit as beautiful, but a million times less breakable. And if all these features weren't enough, you also get an incredibly durable footswitch to select channels and engage the reverb without stopping mid-show.

Whether you're making a record, practicing, or paying your dues on the dive bar circuit, the Bugera V22 Tube Combo Amp complements your guitar-craft with the gold-standard tones of the past—today!

With our Guaranteed Lowest Price, you can be assured of complete satisfaction and the lowest available price, or your money back!

  • Great Tube Amp Tone

    As reviewed by Drake on 4/6/2010

    Just a great amp. Especially for the money. The cleans are nice and jangly, and the gain is pretty gritty, yet can quiet down for a soft blues overdrive. I don't suggest playing with this thing at a HUGE gig, unless mic'd, because with master volume up around 8 to 10, the tube breakup just sounds dirty and trashy. But, I play in a youth band at my church, and its perfect for 200 or less audience sizes :) and you can always mic it! I really love this amp. Amazing tone for the price. (Way more versatile then blues junior if you ask me ;) )

  • What is so bad about this thing?

    As reviewed by Thomas on 1/10/2011

    (Ironic that this produc has 22 reviews (before mine that is)) So its been getting verrry mixed reviews this amp. Personally, I think its great. I haven't played through alot of amps, so I couldn't compare it to alot of different tones. I guess, having alot of head room and having a good blackface tone if sort of fenderish. I can say that the bright imputs and the boost switch makes sound like a vox sort of. Plus cranking the clean volume can give some country twang. The dirt channel is interesting, is sort of "more than old school" tube dirt. Very cool but I wouldn't use it that much myself. It come with a foot switch too! Saves me some money on a reverb pedal. So far i haven't found a pedal that this amp does not like. YAY! I havn't used the effects loop yet though so you're on your own. The only complaint I have is the reverb cutting out every now and then. Idk why it does it (tube amp=tube driven reverb) but if you use it for too long or too much of it, like say 10, it can stop working. Honestly, you can't go wrong with getting this amp. Well worth the money I payed.

  • IF YOU DON'T BUY THIS YOU ARE CRAZY!

    As reviewed by Nick Burkel on 2/22/2011

    This is my first tube amp and i was playing through a 15 watt Marshall solid state, it sounded okay but i needed something a little louder. First of all i have the volumes and gain on 10 and when the master volume is on 3 my ears are bleeding! This amp is so powerful and packs a lot of punch. You can get so many tones from warm cleans to zeppelin and even some metal with no pedals! I play with my Epiphone Les Paul Custom and does this amp really compliment the sound. I dont like the sound with a stratocaster however, but i dont own one so it dosent bother me. Before i bought this amp i was really a Marshall user. But to tell you the truth i am never buying anything other than a Bugera. I am going to get a 4x12 cabinet and hook this amp up to it. This sounds amazing. For the price this amp compares to any amp over 1000$ easy!
