G5 Infinium : Tube amp for the price of a pedal.

6 years ago

First time Bugera buyer. Didn't expect much of it, bought it with a voucher I still had laying around.

This lunchbox amp sounds better than a lot of transistor/modeling amps even in much higher price ranges IF you connect it with a descent pair of 12" speakers (V30, G12T75, greenbacks,.. ). At the American side of the morph knob, it almost sounded as if playing through a (small) 6505.

Cons: Not enough treble/presence to play more extreme forms of metal. Treble pot is really affects only the high mid frequencies and therefor it lacks presence, even with e.g. a TS9 in front of it.

Pro's: Features: a lot! For this price, to practice, or make some killer tones in your home recording studio, go for it.
