Bugera V22HD Infinium 22W Tube Amplifier Head - Secondhand

Full Description

Infinium Tube Life Multiplier Technology

The Infinium series of amps have been designed with Infinium tube like multiplier technology which extends the usable lifespan of its power tubes by 20 times. The circuit automatically and continually monitors the performance of each output tube, dynamically driving it towards the operating point and evenly distributing the load to ensure none of the tubes are overdriven. The circuit also compensates for the effect of again by adjusting the current levels to keep the tubes sounds like new. When a tube starts to run at the end of its usable lifespan an LED flashes on to show the player which one needs replacing. Its auto-bias design lets players replace the indicated tube without the need to take it anywhere for repair.

Powerful Tube Tones

The V22HD Infinium is equipped with Class-A technology, with a sweet 12AX7 front end and a powerful EL84 power stage to offer sweetly-balanced harmonics and an all-natural tube compression. The hand selected 12AX7 tubes are perfect for creating sweet blues tones to an epic crunch, while the EL84 tubes deliver an incredibly crisp, chiming tonal quality which sound amazing when pushed. The combination of the two tubes provides the amp with a warm distortion and break up reminiscent of vintage tube amps. The Bugera amp also features a mode switch to select between a Triode or Pentode operation, letting players go from a sweet warm sound to a volcanic high gain edge.

High Definition Reverb

The Bugera Infinium also features a high definition reverb, letting players add the perfect finishing touches to their signature sound. Its dedicated control provides all the adjustments needed to create the perfect sound, going from a subtle touch to a cavernous, natural sounding reverberations of a large arena.

Excellent Connectivity

The V22HD is built to ensure players can incorporate it into their rigs and provide the best performance possible. The amp is delivered with a heavy-duty footswitch, allowing the player to control the channels and reverb straight from their pedalboard. An FX loop, with a dedicated effects level switch, provides players with the ability to connect their FX signal straight to the amp, offering control over the signal routing and optimising the tone for pedals and gear. The Bugera also features a selectable impedance, with the choice between 4, 8, and 16 ohms to ensuring it can be used with any speaker cabinet.
