BUGERA INFINIUM Valve Life Multiplier Technology 

I can bias my own amp. It isn't hard. I actually really enjoy it.

Yes! That was specifically one of the features we had in mind while designing the INFINIUM system.

I can't wait to get mine. I will be ordering a Bugera 333XL Infinium in about two weeks! I got my Bugera cab in today! I can't wait to get them into action and on stage!

Great video! A friend of mine plays guitar in a black metal band and his big secret is this: On the bands 2 first albums he used a Behringer UD100 pedal for overdrive, since it got him "the meanest sound he ever heard"... Now, he just bought a bugera head after testing it against a similar marshall head...money was not an issue, he said, the Bugera had more gain, plain and simple.. May be his 'secret' signature sound will change for their third album..eheh :)

Just bought the 1960 British Bite all I can say is awesome amp just awesome great for bass too

You would be doing so at your own risk. We recommend running the amp with all four tubes, as that's how it was designed, and also pulling tubes can change the impedance specs which can cause more problems.

@Dimefan91 Yes! Turn the master up and leave the channel volume low for cleans. Turn the master down lower and turn the channel volume up for crunch!

@ktxdgqtx We have been getting a LOT of requests for this and while there are no definite plans, I have certainly let the product development team know! Thanks for chiming in!

@SuperGuitarMark There might be a slight change in tone from the two scenarios you have described, but it wouldn't be too pronounced due to the fact that each "bank" of power tube sockets would have one 6L6 and one EL34. Part of the fun of INFINIUM is going to be hearing what combinations of tubes people come up with and the sounds each one produces...once the production models land in our Seattle office we're likely to have a lot of fun swapping tubes.

EL34's should work just fine, as should 6L6, 5881, KT77, KT88, 6CA7 and 6550. :) The INFINIUM system takes a measurement of the tubes, and then sends the appropriate amount of current. It does this for each individual tube, which is why unmatched sets or different types are possible.

KT66's will bias up just fine, but the only issue will be the width of the bottles on the tubes, which varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.

They are available in Thomann right now, yesterday i bought a 333xl infinium. I can't wait!

@THE1ADI We've made some major overhauls to the production of our amps in the last couple years. All the potentiometers are now firmly attached to the chassis face, and the connector issue that @GuitarRazze asked about is no more. Furthermore, we've recently installed some new testing/QC equipment in our factory that has upped reliability considerably. Cheers!

That should work just fine. I bet the combo of KT88 and EL34 would sound killer.

@TheSwanblaster The amps are covered against manufacturer defect for 1 year. That includes the transformers. Cheers!

@Rocknrollthor That's awesome to hear, Thor... Yep, we think putting 'em to the test is the fairest thing people can do.

i am very well aware of his name heard of him many times. But I had to save this video to my favorites because I did not know he is an expert on tube amps. Talk about knowing his stuff. From now on i'll only play with BUGERA AMPS.

@Dimefan91 Yup...it's like an old 60's/70's amp...it stays clean unless you turn it up REALLY LOUD, although it does have a bypassable master volume on the back for crunch sounds at more reasonable volumes. It's a very versatile amp despite its simplicity. Cheers!

it's good to know Bugera fixed their biggest flaw!

@GuitarRazze This issue is already addressed in the current, pre-INFINIUM production of BUGERA amps. The problematic connector is no longer in our amps at all! Cheers!

@JasonX716 I've just received confirmation that the 6262-INFINIUM is shipping in the next week. That would put it in stores around February. Hope this helps.

Yep any 6L6 or EL34. Pop the back open and as long as the LED on the INFINIUM indicator isn't lit up, you're good to go. :)

@Crunchifyable That's correct, it's not out yet. But it ships on October 3!

@filitalian All of our modern-style amps will be debuting with INFINIUM technology in the coming months, the 6260 included!

@Coisoman Cool idea, but there are no plans for such a product at this time. You might be interested in The MAGICIAN INFINIUM, however, which has a "Varipower" function that is similar to an attenuator... The TRIREC will have Varipower as well.

@SuperGuitarMark Yep, just about any octal base power tube will work okay.

@93collins The 333XL should already be in stores. I know I can get them at my guitar center in Atlanta right now. You can also find them at online stores like American Musical Supply, although I wouldn't want to have a tube head shipped. Postal workers are typically rough with packages no matter if they say fragile on them or not. I love this amp. Had it for a while and its absolutely reliable and a tone monster!

So basically, someone who has never had a tube amp like me would have no trouble with this amp in the since of taking care of it? All i need to do when a tube goes out is to just take it out and put a new one in and not worry about anything else? Sounds easy! I like this idea!

@MyLifeChanger YES! The BVV3000 as well!

I have A bugera 6262 INFINIUM, and I play with a Custom Jackson WXRT Warrior with EMG X-Series pups in it. 11-70 gage strings, and I've got to say, and Proud to say, that I have the most BRUTAL, Best, most clear sounding tone In my area. I have better tone then the signed bands I've played with. (Impending Doom, Motionless In white, Upon a burning Body, I See Stars, After the burial, etc.) THANK YOU BUGERA FOR PUTTING OUT AN EXTREMELY BRUTAL AMP AT AN AMAZING PRICE!! LOVE YOU!!!! \m/

@JKryanX No plans for an INFINIUM version of the BC30. Class A amps are already self-biasing. :)

I can't get over how much this man looks like Sal from Impractical Jokers. He sounds like him too but without the accent.

@MartyCannava We should have clarified that the $50USD was an estimate based on US prices. There are many variables (taxes, duties, etc) that go into international pricing. We apologize for the confusion.

i read a amp review in GUITAR WORLD YEARS AGO ABOUT 9 YES NINE DIFFERENT TUBE TYPES THAT COULD BE USED IN BUGERA AMP'S WITH 6L6GC +EL34 INFINIUM

@MyLifeChanger Sorry for all the delays, we just got the official word that the TRIREC will be in stores in November!

If it fits, it rocks.

@LostKeysOnARainyDay the price increase on average is about $50 USD.

When will Bugera do a 30 or 50W plexi style amp, with Infinium technology and power attenuator? Valves for life, unlimited tone combinations and appropriated power to every ocasion... What a dream...

American idol '05! Thats my favourite year!

@jimzweersguitarist The base retail price is $799 USD, but can't be sure what duties will add in the Netherlands...

@jlhyz2 The BUGERA V-Series, V22 included, do not offer INFINIUM technology, in an effort to stay true to their old-fashioned roots. However, it sounds like folks like you are interested in seeing INFINIUM added to the V-series-am I right? :)

okay thank you :) love the amp! the bugera made tubes are suberb!

@bugera it would be nice, but im not having any problems without it. it's a great amp.

Absolutely!

@GuitarRazze This is becoming an increasingly popular request... We've let the development team know!

Would you guys ever come out with a rack mount power amp at some point in the future?

@randomlyselecteduser Those tubes will work great in the amplifier, but it won't double the wattage.

If it's under 90 days from purchase, you should just be able to exchange the tubes. Did you ask about that?

It's possible, but we wouldn't recommend it due to loss of headroom and potential impedance issues.

Still can't wait to hear Dingle rip face on a Trirec! When are they supposed to be out anyway?

@bugera Yeaahh!!! Definetly gonna get one. When do they come to europe?

Awesome Vid....

Bugera 1960 Infinium here I come!

'Repair can be really expensive, and it can cost alot!' .. =p

I just got a 1990 and sounds killer! looking at the 1960s amp head but how well is that Master Volume? I live in a condo and can't really play super loud.

Both amps should be able to drive two cabinets very well.

I just bought A bugera 1990 infinum head. Are you saying that if I go buy 4 new el34's tubes, I can just open the back and replace them right away without biasing or any type of voltage meter?

Is there any chance that Qaulity of Products and Customer Service Will Improve??? Thing is that some of the products you have would be very competitive if they would be more reliable and better quality and customer service would be more helpful. And would live up to their word as my V5 rattled as crazy out of the box, one tube microphonic so was promised to receive a replacement valve asap, so far like 3 weeks down the road nothing and I now even can't return the junk amp, worst thing that I loved the tone. Other thing would be nice to see seperate speaker for sale as V5+V55 speakers together gives a realy nice ring to a tone, however rattle, failing tubes and rest doesn't help at all...

@bugera When will you demo the "1960 INFINIUM" Amp? What is the difference tone-wise between the 1960 and the 1960 INFINIUM?

Just to clarify, are you asking about a 333XL-212 combo?

When are we going to see these new amps in the shops?

can you teach me how to use the standby switch to help preserve my tubes. on a v22?

Greetings Sir! I am planning to buy a Bugera Amp Infinium here in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia... Can you tell me what stores here have this available... Thank you sir! More power to Bugera! :)

Hello, in the BugueraG5, you can change the tube power that leads (12BH7) by one EL34?. Thank you.

Can INFINIUM amps be used with just 2 ,or even 1 valve for half or lower power. And if can, how it will afect the amps tone. Thank you.

Can you tell me when the 333XL head will be in US stores?

Yup!

the head not the combo. i was wondering the same thing?

I understand, but on the amp, it has el34/6l6 written next to the socket. (Remember I'm aksing about the 333xl not the trirec). Does this change anything as it seems a little misleading to me. I can't find any documentation on the subject whatsoever. Has Bugera released any, or are they going it? I don't want to accidentally damage the amp :)

does the Bugera V22 have this? i have a Bugera v22 now if it has this great technology. Either way I love the amp.

Hey Bugera .... how do you use turn on and use stand by switch on the G20 infinitum??? Just purchased new unit

is the bc30 covered in this infinium group? im about to put new pre amp and power tubes in mine.

This is very cool....

@LeeChavezMusic I will send you a DM about this! Cheers!

@SuperGuitarMark that's more or less how it works! :)

I was wondering if i could also put KT-66 in combined with El-34's? for example

cool stuff

Hi i have buy the bugera 6262 infinium and the bugera412H-BK and i dont know how to connet the head with the cab what ohms i must select in the head and if have to put the cable in the right or the left loudspeaker to connect it with the cab.And in the cab what i have to select mono or stereo and i must to connect the cable from the head in the input or in the output? Thank you

Hey! What would happen if I remove two of the inner or outer tubes to run the amp half powered?

Yep, that's how it works. :)

Hi sorry I have a question The sequence of preamp tube....in front of head 6262 infinium from right(near jack input) to left the sequence is v1 v2 v3 v4 v5 v6??? Or??

is the infinium series gonna fix the burned connector problem?

Can i use any kind of power tube or only el34s, 6l6, 5881. I ask because on here, you only say those 3 and your official website says almost any tube will work.

The 6260 uses infinium technology as well?

Did you make a non infinium 333xl? Cause my 333xl does not say infinium on it and I need to replace a tube?

Talkin' about runnin' .. the 6260 can handle the Bugera 412f and 412h cabs flawlessly at the same time or the 1960-inf should be better? i'm seriously thinking about get all this gear.

@bugera Hi there guys, I would like to if the cost will raise from the older models of these amps, to these new ones with INFINIUM tech? If it does raise, how much will that be?

@Rocknrollthor Sounds like a winning formula, would love to hear it! What's the band called?

I've just brought the 333xl infinium. I had a tube blow out after three months only, and replace with a Marshall by a technician :) But if I am to understand that I don't need matched tubes or anything like that and can change the tubes myself, can you tell me what tubes are compatible with my amp as the manual was VERY incomplete on the subject. CI use for example a MESA 6l6 with ENG el34's? Am I also to understand that I can change the tubes and just plug it in to play? Seems overly simple....

Any info on the prices of the Trirec and magician in Holland? Infinium sounds very promising!

If a tube is bad, the INFINIUM will let you know!

I'm not finding the "modded" version of the 1960 for sale on the net ANYWHERE.. Anyone know what the story is on that?

I understand that putting in different kinds of tube will make a different sound, but would changing the arrangement of the tubes change the tone. Like if the amp had the tubes in this order 6l6, el34, el34, 6l6, and then you changed the order to something like el34, 6l6, 6l6, el34, would it dramatically change the tone? If so, what part of the tone is effected by each power tube slot?

I have a 333 Infinium on the way. So those lights on the back can esentially test tubes? I ask as I have a bunch of EL34's and some MEsa 6l6's. Can I pop them in (all EL34's or all 6l6's) and it will tell me which ones are good and not? Thanks!

does it affect the sound ? i mean , the sound on infinium series is different than classics series ?

Hey guys. I'm getting ready to put out my debut EP. If you want to listen to the tracks I have available now, I can send them to you. I'm doing so, to ask if when I start playing shows for my original music, you could send an Infinium 6262 for the shows? It wouldn't be an endorsement deal. And, I always get asked at shows and online what gear I'm using. I wouldn't mind doing some promoting for you guys (in person or online), because your make awesome amplifiers! What do you think could happen?

Hey. I'd like to try some new tubes in my 1990 Infinium, but I can't find any info on compatible tubes. I'd like to try some 6550's. Can the 1990 Infinium bias itself for those tubes? I can tell that the 333XL can, but I'm unsure if there's a difference. You guys should really adress this in your manual. Also, it would be nice if you named the preamp tube positions as V1, V2, V3 ect. which is common place, instead of A, B, C and so on, so we the users know what is what, when changeing tubes. It's no good if we don't know where to put the tubes if we want to use an ECC83S high gain tube in V2, an ECC803S in V1 and don't know where to put the balanced Phase Inverter ECC83 tube (V3 for the 1990).

@gwugluud Me neither....maybe its not out yet.

The Bugera website says you make a V22 with Infinium but nobody seems to sell them. Is this a new model that dealers don't have yet or is something else going on?

Can I plug out 2 tubes to my 1960, to have half power and crank it more? Is that safe?
