5W tube amp
Single-channel
1 Gain
1 Volume
Tone 1
1 Reverb (digital)
An attenuator or 0.1 W 1W
1 instrument input
1 headphone
HP 1 output 4Ω
HP 8 "
UTILIZATION
The manual is useless, we can find the right sound.
The finish is good for the price, he has a mouth, the look is vintage, as its name suggests (Series V = Bugera at Vintage).
SOUNDS
I play mostly rock and blues of the 70 - 80 (old AC / DC, Dire Straits ...), but sometimes I play other styles ...
The sound is vintage, with a nice clean, warm. The crunch is so beautiful, with a small natural compression. No big distos with this amp, but can grow smoothly, the sound is very good. By pushing it to its maximum, the sound is a little bit "dirty" without becoming ugly.
Tone really influence the sound and can easily adapt the sound to his style of music.
The HP 8 "does not lower food and produces a fairly balanced, a good place for a small cheap amp.
The reverb is the only effect I use, in general. I used to "soften" the sound. That of V5 is effective, really quiet at first, and do not spoil the sound no matter the setting.
The attenuator is convenient to play at home in the bedroom 0.1 W can sometimes be enough, especially if one wants to push the amp!
In short, the sound really suits me, I was not looking for a modern sound, or big distos.
I have not tried the headphones, or plug into a cab.
For now, I do not intend to change anything, but surely one day I would replace the lamps with the best and I would add maybe a cab 12 "Vintage 30.
OVERALL OPINION
I own the amp for a few days, I will complete hindsight.
In conclusion, this amp has really nice not to be versatile, it is what I was looking for a warm, which sounds good on old rock and blues, not too powerful to be able to play at home.
It is complete (reverb, fader, headphone and HP) is really cheap considering the quality.
I would do without hesitation that choice.
