BUGERA V22 Play through - By GearTestUa 

This might be one of the best DEMO's I've seen on youtube, no moron running his mouth, just playing and watching the knobs move. Awesome job guys, cheers!

I’ve been gigging this amp for roughly 10 years. I added a heat sink in it as it would automatically switch channels on me when channel 1 got too hot. Never had a problem since over a 200 plus gigs later in the Arizona heat. I did have to replace the power tubes a couple years ago. The pre-amp tube is still original as is the speaker. I’m a pro USA dude but this was a scratch and dent for $250 back then and I said what the hell at worst it can be a backup and it has been my number one since. Great demo my man. Bless.

This is the standard by which all future amp reviews will be measured. I own the v22 and couldn't be happier with it. Great tone and reliable.

Shout out to the fucking cleaning guy amirite

I own a DSL 100 tube half stack and I love it... As for a good combo amp I can carry around I bought a Blackstar 150 watt combo and returned because of the low quality speakers and inability for the amp to cut through a mix. I Then turned to a Fender Deville but had problems because of the soldering issues and melting of the pods. Also, my tubes were burning out much too quickly. I traded a guitar for a 130 watt Vox and although it was great on the clean channels it sounds a bit to nasally congested on its overall tone. So, finally I bought this Bugera and its great on the cleans and adds just enough gain for when I want to play hard rock. Its crisp and clean and clear. When I add my pedals delay, chorus its quality for studio recording projects. I think some listeners do not understand or can tell the difference when an amp on youtube is being reviewed through mixers. Most of these videos are actually produced by the companies themselves but try and pass them off as a regular guy in his bedroom trying out an amp. Dont make that mistake and learn the difference. Go to your music store and plug in before you buy.

An exemplary gear demo. You actually kept playing the same thing while making changes to the amp settings...amazing! :D

Actual demo starts after 3:58 of bullshit.

I have owned a LOT of Tube amps but the Bugera V22 is one of my favorites!

This is what a demo should be. Tone King take note...

This is the best demo video I seen. one person playing, another changing the settings.. that way there s no pause. I probably learned more about this app watching this video than I would playing 3 hours myself.

Just got this amp a couple of weeks ago and its a GREAT amp, let alone the price is less than half of the well known tube amps. No problems whatsoever and sounds just as good as any tube amp twice the price that I've owned.

I've had a V5 for ten years or more. I play the V22 up at GC every chance I get. Incredible amp. Bargain!

This is a stupidly good demo. Whoever is behind this channel, keep doing you.

I like the thick tone. I am surprised by the creamy sound of it. Sounds like a good recording amp.

Best video ive seen where someone was demo-ing something!!!!

I bought one of those and am not disappointed in the least.A friend recommended the Fender Blues Junior but those are not budget friendly amps though they are all around really great amps. With some add-ons like the Ibanez Tube Screamer the Bugera is real decent.

Perfect! Lots of people here on YT really can't understand the right way to do guitar amp videos. Keep on the good work!

Finally! Someone figured out how a UTube gear demo ought to be done. Great work. Thanks.

Great demo, very informative, tells me a lot about the amp without the rhetoric. Love the touch of humor by the cleaning crew also. Wish more demo folks would just let the gear speak for itself.

This was the video/demo that finally convinced me to buy this amp and I have to say that I striked plently. If you are looking for a good vintage sounding amp, and you can´t, or don´t want, to spend a lot of €/$ in a Vox, Fender, etc, this is the best option.

One of the best amp tests I've seen. Thanks.

Quite simply the best amp demonstration on the web! I am now going to purchase. Thanks!

Great combo for the price! Have one for 10 years! Has weak side though - it is the speaker. Changed one with Celestion V30 and that made a huge difference.

Did not expect to see a 7 string included in the demo. Did not expect to hear one of Ola's songs. Awesome!

It looks interesting but the best part is the cleaning hand

After watching this demo I immediately subscribed to your channel. One of the most useful videos I've seen, and I've watched a lot the past few months in trying to decide what amp to buy. Thanks so much!!!!

never knew tube amps gave such a wide range of sounds, but unlike solid states with lots of effects and settings, the tubes different sounds are all useable, thats hella cool.

put on 2x speed and listen to the intro. Makes it sound like a thrash song.

Love that boost on clean really gives it that 50's 60's tone on the gain side it gives it that classic rock!

The song in intro is so cool! And Bugera souds in intro really well. Thanks

How I wish others would do reviews like this!

That’s how every guitar amp video should have ever been made.

my lovely amp.

this demo sold me....fantastic amp

This sounds epic! I think I might have to look into one of these.

Fantastic video guys. Helped to make up my mind what amp to get for home. Thanks!

Pretty cool how you go it to do metal. Not that I'm a metal person, but it was neat to see how versatile this amp truly is.

A damn fine sounding grab, go and rock amp. I'll pick one up someday soon.

If before I was fascinated by it, after this video I'm sure: this will be my first little tube amplifier!!! :-)

Having owned tube amps since 1974 (1st one a Fender Super Six, on to Marshall's, old and new Supro's and so on...), my opinion on the V22 is that it's not just "best for the price" although it's that too. It's among the best amps I've owned, used or have heard. I think where it really excels is at a low up to a medium high volume, enough reverb to suggest in sustain without saturation, gain set to just where backing off on pick/finger attack cleans up, and digging in brings the gain into play. It becomes something you play TO, like you would with a great guitar that has wonderful sonic treasures to find, unique to itself. I've read "Peavey clone" now and again, yet I find the V22 to be smoother in balance overall (maybe the stock speaker voicing?). All said, you can just hear it in the video, regardless of YT filtering it just plain sounds good. 7 years after this video's upload....and still a great choice in amps.

Great demo.... It sold me on one. Did they have the speaker switch set to 16ohm at the end? I wonder if they were actually miking a larger external cab...

Fantastic, great amp.

Love how they used Sasquatch for the music. That's awesome!

great demo

finally a demo that makes sense thanks!

this sounds ridiculously good.

fantastic demo

Best gear review I've seen

show d bola da pra faser muitos rocks legais

I'm a fan of these amps and currently have a V55 and a V22 Infinium and play out with them both regularly. THE GOOD: The first thing I suggest you do is change the tubes immediately- the stock tubes have a very harsh break up-I put JJs in both amps and it really smoothed out the tone. I'm a blues player and like vintage gear, so to get the nice natural smooth break up- creamy sound, I use the clean channel, volume on 10 and the master at around 5 depending on the room- my bass is usually on about 4, mids at 5 or 6, treble about the same, presence around 2 or 3, mid boost switch ON. Before every show, I let it warm up for about an hour and then that baby sings in a rich, creamy tone. I play both Fender and Gibson and don't need to do any fiddling when I change guitars. These amps take pedals really, really well too. The triode/pentode switch makes it a very versatile amp. THE BAD: The tone disappears on the gain channel, therefore it's hard to find any usable sounds there for the music I play. All in all, if you are looking for vintage tones at a low cost then these are your amps. Btw, I use my V22 a lot more than the V55 which is very heavy to lug around. The V22 has plenty of volume for just about any gig.

Best review ever! And not a single word!

Stacked, these amps look REALLY tasty!

Well, that sounds great!

I liked the sound when you cut the mids at 7:02. Nice demo!

Thinking about buying this amp for awhile, it would be my first tube amp. I think this amp is great for a cheap price too!

This thing has an ungodly amount of headroom on the clean channel... I would love to hear some kind of overdrive in front to see where the tubes start breaking up.

Alright I'm sold I'm going to pick on up this following week!!

I've owned two of these and both were nothing but trouble. Doesn't matter how good they sound if you can't use them.

the sound of the amp is so diffirent when cranked up !! it really growls !! I must try it on a concert ,because I've never cranked him up .. :\ I also have a question : i own the amp for 3 years, and i've changed the tubes only when i had just bought him. How am i gonna find out its time for changes ?

Great demo, thanks.

Great demo!!

Great tone

Awesome intro song. Sasquatch just rocks

perfect job.

Awesome review

top class review

Отличный звук! Отличный обзор!

lol, I have this amp and never thought you could djent with it, i'm going to try that !

awesome!!

Nooo una locura, no tenía idea que eran tan versátiles

Great review! By demoing each control while playing the same riffs for the different genre`s, its a whole lot easier to follow vs noodleing all over the place different things.. I am looking at this one and the V55 which is only about $50. more. Thanks again for the review.

Does it have that power output option like the Bugera V5 that allows you to select the wattage?

My favorite part 8:15 when the clean djent came in

How's it sound for heavier stuff?

This amp gives you bang for your buck. I demoed it at GC and was amazed

Great job on demo.

Can I use this amp for a punk rock Green Day style?

Is there any way to record this amp direct? through the fx send maybe? Any way to record it without the amp producing sound like the v5?

How loud does it get and would you use it for gigging purposes?

how loud do these go? and does the bass and mid hold up with the 12 inch speaker when its cranked?

I like the way you made this video using 1 player and one person to make changes on the amp! Really nice!

How's the headroom for this amp? Can it play over a jazz ens without breaking up on the clean channel? whenever I tried it at Guitar Center it had a wonderful tone. now I just concerned about whether or not it has enough volume.

Now that's what I call an amp review

Excelent !!! !!!!!!

i wonder what else your using,,i have this am,p and a fender strat brand new and the presence and treble put alot of noise on ;-(

Does it have enough juice to be used as a amp in the practice studio? Does it have enough volume?

Too funny.......well done mate

I guess I'll keep my Bugera then!!

Complimenti finalmente una prova ampli bravo ok

Watched the video just to see what the cleaning hand comments were about. It was worth the laugh. Also will be buying a Bugera V22 on my Sweetwater account as soon as the next big sale hits. I was considering a Peavey Classic 30, which I used to have a few years back and regret selling, but I just can't see paying out the price difference when the Bugera V22 can do all this, which is all I need and more.

The amps with the Amber lights are from a later production run. Earlier production runs of the V22 suffered from many issues which were later resolved by Bugera.

This video/review made me subscribe to your channel. Well done.

What I wanna know was what was the rig for the song in the beginning? That was one of the best tones I've ever heard in my life.

very nice !

I need help, Marshall DSL 401 or Marshall 8240 or Bugera V22?

why is the speaker set to 16 ohms

Super Video - Danke!

Did someone clean the guitar while he was playing it? I have to know if it was a joke or a real thing.

Hi there! Awesome review! only one question: ¿it is loud? i am a funk like guitar player, and i need lots of clean headroom. Is the bugera up to the task?

also i think you are meant to engage standby when changing between Triode and pentode.
