Bugera V22 Drive up to 10

In response to someone wanting to hear the amp with the drive turned up. In my opinion this is not where the amp shines but someone else might dig it. Rear Humbucker (Lil 59).

was that the loudest the amp can go?

[bluesboyv22]

@sabbath994 no, the master volume is only on like 2 or 3 on this clip...

[Epikpage]

could you play in a band with this amp ?

[bluesboyv22]

@Epikpage most definitely

I took this amp home for 2 days and took it back and picked up a peavey classic 30. I thought the overdrive channel was wayyyyyyyyyyy better on the c30 than the bugera.

Since we do mostly classic rock the c30 worked out perfectly

[bluesboyv22]

@Marathonmarch the classic 30 is great small amp (I own one as well) but you have to rember it's almost double the price of the Bugera which puts it at a totally different price point...

anything kills the line 6 because Line 6 sucks

@stripesthebird

solid state will almost always lose out to tube if they are the same price.

@hjalmarBuoi No, it doesn't.

[hjalmarBuoi]

does the pedal need extra power supply ?

@downeasttech

Check out sid2k1 videos. Three shots of my band using that amp in our practice area

@MzaCrack To anyone that says this cant keep up without a drummer without being mic'd. Forgive the sloppy playing and the poor audio. Bugera v22 on gain channel. Gain 4, bass 2, mids 6, treble 5. Run through a bogner open back 2x12 cabinet. ITs plenty loud enough. It rips.

[liamzuid]

Your amp light is blue lol.

Mine is red.

[HearingLossProvider]

@themidniteshow you liked the Tweaker? I couldn't get a good crunchy sound out of mine. I did get gain, but it was more like a smooth distortion. The Bugera seems to have more of a "honky" crunch. Very midrangey, like an English amp, wheras the Tweaker reminded me of a Fender.

[MzaCrack]

Is this amp loud enough for small shows?

I'm the guitarist for a two piece post crust band. I play with two amps live, to add a more full sound. I was looking at this do to price and such. Is it loud enough to keep up with a drummer in a non mic'd setting? thanks!

[guitarkis49]

That over drive sounds freakin' awesome! I didn't expect it!

[kallolbanerjee]

@bluesboyv22 with master only at so low you are not engaging the power amp section and that's why may be this clip sound is so harsh. this video should be redone with the master up may be use an Attenuator to control the volume. Otherwise you don't do justice to the amp.

@Epikpage no, you cant, your drummer will be higher than you. 50 watts or more :)
