6262 Infinium : What an amp.

Been after one of these amps for a long time now and I finally have one. upon unpacking this amp it immediately looks the part on top of the bugera 4x12 I use. Many people in the past have slated bugera saying its not the same as buying the real thing etc but its the same as anything else. every amp or guitar you buy regardless of it being £3000 or £300 there will be duds and some design faults. Take gibson LPs vs the LTD EC401 as prime example same design same materials same quality and its the same here with this 6262. its based on the 6506+ and personally I think its slightly better in tone. I used one of these in the studio against the Peavey and even though there was little difference the bugera shone through. This has the same number of tubes and controls etc. Has EQ, reverb and presence controls for both clean and lead which is very useful as clean and lead usually need different eq and this eliminates the need for a pedal. Switchable OHM setting. 2 loud speaker outs, fx loop which you can control with the switch pedal you get as standard. you can also switch the reverb on and off on both channels with the foot switch. And another feature i like about these bugeras is you just take a power tube out and put new one in, no messing around. You can also use 4 different 6l6/5881 to suit your tonal needs. Another good thing about this amp is the preamp output on the back which you can put directly into another head or studio interface for more tonal customization. There are some small draw back to this amp but nothing to sweat about. the leather covering is not very strong and will mark easily. Stock tubes are cheap chinese tubes and could do with changing to sweeten things up and the fuses are very sensitive so you will need a few spare but this is a good thing as it protects the circuitry. All in all the price you pay for what you get is astonishing. very good value for money
