G5 Infinium : Great tone, not that much gain though

9 years ago

So...plugged in my Schecter Banshee Elite and Using cab loaded with Greenbacks here is what I can say:

- great clean tones

- good 3 band EQ for dirty channel

- seems like a solid foot switch

- very decent reverb

- great built in attenuator ( still sounds great even in 0.1W mode)

- good gain channel, You cant however get Metallica tones from it ( maybe from black album, but gain lacks a bit) I used Peavey Vypyr 1 before and it had a bigger bite to the sound, so chucking that low E string was mighty. Here is so so. Nothing you cant fix with OD pedal. I actually dial Gain on half and add OD pedal, and it sounds huge.

Overall very happy with product. I was considering Blackstar HT-5, but additional features on Bugera and £100 price difference made me go with Bugera...and I don't look back :)
