BUGERA V22
Guitar Amplifiers
All-Valve Ampli er 22-Watt Class AB Valve Combo
A lot has changed since the 1960s,
but the guitar tones created in those
pre-moon landing days still stand among
the greatest. The BUGERA V22 is a stunning
1 x 12" combo that not only exudes that
unbelievable sound, but also possesses
modern ourishes capable of taking it to
any corner of the musical landscape.
Perfect for practice, home recording or
small club gigs, this loud lad channels its
mojo from two EL84 power valves. These
give it the bratty, breakup-prone power
amp compression (especially in triode mode
– more on that later!) its 6L6GC-equipped
siblings can only achieve at high volumes.
Old Soul, New Tricks
The V22 gives you everything that
antique amps deliver—without the bloated
price tags. Don’t be fooled, though; this
amp packs a special feature that makes it so
much more than a tribute to the early days
of guitar ampli cation. To explain, we must
take a quick step back in time…
Before greasy juvenile delinquents
hijacked the blues, guitar amps generally
came in two species: those with triode
(having three active electrodes) power
valves and those with pentode (containing
ve active electrodes) power valves.
Triode valves, which came before pentodes,
provide what a lot of guitarists describe as a
“gentler” tone. Pentodes, on the other hand,
are decidedly more “in-your-face.”
The V22 is built for power pentode
tubes, but that doesn’t mean you have to
settle for a singular pentode personality.
This amp includes a Mode switch, allowing
you to operate the power section as if it
had triode tubes (at roughly 40 percent less
power). So what’ll it be today—old-school
or oldest-school?
