I do not go on, and on the features, everything has been said before.

In short, one combo 55W All Tube, switchable to 22W, 12 inch.

Comes with pedal reverb / channel, the more I find (some amps is optional).

Everything is fine if one refers to the price, then it's a question of power but the price rises accordingly.

Bugera on the HP, I have nothing to say, it suits me. There are probably a lot better, but it is a must buy, or you must enter into an amp more upscale, so prices should level up a good notch.

Level look, I agree completely, a little retro cool with cream vinyl. Then we like it or not, I understand. But it's sturdy and well finished.

So 9 / 10 for that price in nine you will not want to have more things.

UTILIZATION

Simple setup, you can easily do without the manual. We obtain the sounds you want without worry, unless to do trash!

Only problem, a detail but still: this combo is higher than what is currently done. So to find a flight case, and although macache! Either he must take the size up and the amp could wander inside, or it's custom and therefore much more expensive. About Me I was fortunate to find a flight in OCCAZ not too expensive and which corresponded roughly to the coast but it's a little galley anyway.

And last thing: their blue bulbs in Bugera, they fart eyes it's diabolical! Yet the amp is ok, but the pedal that came with the diode of the reverb is unbearable (already very strong when the reverb is turned off, so when you switched it suddenly become blind!) .

I put 9 / 10 only for the size of the receiver (10 cm high) and loupiote pedal.

SOUNDS

The clean sound is really excellent for my taste, so I can play with my acoustic (Gibson CSR-CE) above during the concerts. Above all what I was looking for an amp that serve me and for acoustics, and electrics (no question financially and logistically to have one for each).

With the electric (Gibson SG Special faded, I just bought a VooDoo but not yet tried it live) is also a pleasure for my repertoire blues / rock / hard rock is perfect, the crunch is excellent . I use besides a Boss Blues Driver 2, the receiver outputs the sound I want.

Now for the other metal and is sure he will have something other than the V55.

10/10 for me, this amp does what I expect.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp for a few lives now, to replace my Marshall acoustic AS50R transistor ('must start). Well, obviously it has nothing to do, and go all lamps is still extra. For those who do not know (like me interested in it before, but I think we forget the people who start too), the power of a tube amp has nothing to do with that of a amp transistors.

For this amp, I hesitated with the Peavey's in the same price range. I chose the Bugera because: 1) my solo Bug 120W and is very happy, 2) Peavey I find very ugly!

I have not been tried before, because, only to find it in store side Dinan, bah not possible. I am referring to the opinions of Internet users. And I'm not disappointed.

That, I think if based on value for money (399 euros, I think street price), which is most important in my opinion, and although we have a great combo. Anyway not sure there's better now. Afterwards, the choices can be defined by power, but frankly 55W All Tube cranked, it is suitable for the vast majority of scenes, and then if you transplanted it all and more in the sound system ... unless you Bercy or the Stade de France ...

My personal choice was made relative to the price first, I wanted an all lamps as cheap as possible, in this power range. I prefer to put a little more guitar in the amp, it is mainly this. But I am more than happy with this amp, it will take me quite a while.

9 / 10 in total, perfection does not exist!
