Bugera 1960 Infinium Demo

[@ssolo8]

You ain't kidding about extremely powerful. Before I engaged the master vol, this beast almost stopped my heart.. I tried to hang but it made my heartbeat arrhythmic. with master vol engaged it's still plenty loud. Enough power to play festival stages. Beware of neutering your bandmates..

[@mitchellferre1652]

Finally a decent 1960 demo ! Please let us have a little Storm Pedal with this ! Nice playing !

[@clarkscott8532]

I have this amp and it sounds great. Using it at a show Friday. Mine has kt77. Hopefully it will do well playing live. I'm bringing my h&k as a back up in case something happens. Blew a tube and fuse twice at home due to a fault speaker cable. These amps don't like that, I know none do but it will blow immediately, first amp I've had that did that. Cool video. I've never used the gain on this amp. Just used it loud and clean with pedals. It's got headroom for years.

[@levijessegonzalez3629]

What difference did you notice from the stock tubes?

[@wraith1977]

Good job on the demo! You're right, it was hard to find a good one.

[@paulkielt9301]

Sounds great for such an affordable amp!

[@hoobastanker9]

absolutely delicious tone!

[@hirskdubbi]

Get an attenuator and use 2 mics, sm57 close to amp and a condenser mic for the room sound,then combine. Find that sweet spot

[@timothyjay2012]

Freaking Killing IT!!!!

[@jayblow77]

ROCK AND ROLL. That thing sounds like some good and loud fun.

[@highdollaslimjim1509]

I pulled the inner 2 power tubes and ran it with the PPMIV off outside going into my 412. It’s pretty loud, I’m sure all 4 would be LOUD.

[@MetalandHotRods]

my buddy had this amp with an MXR distortion pedal nice crunchy Thrash sound

[@jakesmith4506]

cool. i had never heard the sound of this amp before.

[@ehdforlife]

Nice Priest riffs!

[@ran-diy-audio]

Hi! it always strikes me that you are using cables to join both channels when this amplifier already does it automatically. Is there a reason why you do it? I've had this amp for years and one of the videos that made me buy it was this one. Cheers! very good demo

[@dinofond]

Thank you broski!!!!

[@benfarina3710]

u gotta dime those mids son

[@jupjuck]

Fryette power station.

[@ehdforlife]

Thanks.

[@MusicAbio]

I have a Bugera 1960 infinium and can't make it sound as much as good, maybe I need an attenuator... Would you suggest the two notes torpedo captor 8 ohms? In theory it can handle up to 100 watt RMS, and I've never figured out if this amp is actually 150 or 100 watt RMS... I've pulled out two power tubes, but I still can't use it in parallel mode with the bypassed master volume without blowing everyone else's ears out. Actually I don't need to crank it, I have a friedman be od which is a pretty decent overdrive, but the clean sound sounds weird with the volume 1 set too much low... Any tips for getting a clean and pedal friendly tone on this amp?

[@bishaldutta4203]

can i use this 150 watt amp head with my 4x12 120 watt marshall mg cabinet?

[@jeff30458]

I'm guessing if you took out two of the tubes.

[@voxpathfinder15r]

I would, give you an excuse to recone those speakers with quality parts so they sound better

[@johnnycanosoda]

I have the same rig, badass bro \m/

[@RandyFricke]

I thought it had the internal jumpered channel mod too. Could The Tone King be wrong?

[@dangarcia9476]

that was on the first bugera 1960 with out the master volume in the back.

[@RandyFricke]

Is there a bright cap across the wiper on the Bright Channel volume control like there is on a Marshall Plexi? That bright cap is the first thing that has to go to get a decent tone. Anyone know?

[@simonwells4820]

only if the volume is NOT on 10 !! on 10 it does absolutely nothing..

[@chiiitmeng]

The master volume knob in the back....is it turned on or off? If so, what level so you have it set to?

[@jpistolas]

What song is that riff from @ 1:19? It's driving me nuts. I know the song but cannot remember artist/title. Grrrrr..... Badass playing through one badass amp. Rock on!!

[@rocknrollresignation93]

Thanks man. Whitesnake - Slide it In

[@jpistolas]

@@rocknrollresignation93 THANK YOU!! God old Whitesnake rocks. "Slide it in, right to the top...slide it in, I ain't never gonna stop" That amp does Sykes damn well!

[@RTGuitar10]

Great demo! Could you please tell me how it compares to your 1987x?

[@johnwest6083]

Are you patching the 2 and 3 inputs together for the brown sound?

[@Narcissisusinthesky]

You really need an volume attenuator

[@Narcissisusinthesky]

I love this amp don't get me wrong. I can only imagine how your ears were after after this it looks like the volumes are both at 6-7

[@rocknrollresignation93]

This amp has a Master Volume on the back, was not loud at all when I recorded this.

[@coreydsousa]

Did you ever get to making video 2? Curious to hear it with 2 tubes pulled.

[@rocknrollresignation93]

I actually don't have this amp anymore. I returned it shortly after I made this video.

[@hanksnow12]

Why did you return it, did it suck ass?

[@LMerchant01]

I also would like to know the reason for returning since it sounds killer in the vid . I bought a used one that arrives in 2 days.

[@mitchellferre1652]

LMerchant01 How do you like your Bugera 1960 ?

[@PieIX]

Come on Tyler you really should answer that question from Hank Snow.... " Why did you return it,....?

[@levijessegonzalez3629]

So without the attenuator and just using the master, how does it sound? Does the attenuator suck any tone? Allot of reports that it does with this amp.

[@DroneShotFPV]

Mine doesn't appear to suck any tone when engaged vs. disengaged.

[@levijessegonzalez3629]

@@DroneShotFPV finally got one and I will say it slightly is more fizzy when engaged...even on "10" vs bypassed. Bypassed and everything dimed this amp sings! Loud as a motherfucker though

[@DroneShotFPV]

@@levijessegonzalez3629 For sure about being LOUD as hell! lol It's crazy loud. I didn't notice the fizzy sound when engaged, but if I am completely honest, it probably had more to do with the levels I was using it at. I will test again this weekend, as I am now curious! lol Glad that you like yours!

[@aaronsg71]

Nice demo! What song is that riff from @1:20?

[@rocknrollresignation93]

Thanks. Whitesnake - Slide it In

[@aaronsg71]

Tyler Stelluti I heard it before, couldn’t remember! I was thinking Trapeze, I was kinda close since the guitarist used to be in that band!

[@aaronsg71]

Tyler Stelluti also, do you still have this amp and how is it holding up? Thx

[@scorp350]

how do you have it connected? 3 cables in the front? it has internal jumper so u don't need one for that so im confused how you have it hooked up. .?

[@rocknrollresignation93]

You need to jump it with a cable to use both channels, I tried it the other way, doesn't work.

[@scorp350]

+Tyler Stelluti interesting. so apparently the manual is wrong. I will have to try it on mine. thx for the tip.

[@infectionsman]

Strange, mine has the channels paralleled by default at top inputs and series (cascade) at bottom inputs. Just like it should.

[@salzulli6290]

scorp350 Do you have the Pre-Infinium 1960? It might be different with that.

[@scorp350]

I have the Infinium version. According to the manual, the classic series jumper mode most do with an external cable is supposed to be built in, but the reviewer is saying it doesn't work that way & the external cable is still required.

[@Jimhirosky7175]

Is that straight guitar to amp or are you using any pedal effects?

[@rocknrollresignation93]

Straight into the amp, no effects. Pretty hot pickup though.

[@AuntAlnico4]

This was volume on 1 ? How loud in the room was it ?

[@PieIX]

Is this amp one of those that needs to be cranked in order to get the best tone out of it?

[@salzulli6290]

The Death Blooms pretty much. The master volume on the back will help for lower volume applications, but it's made to be cranked.

[@clarkscott8532]

You can crank it and keep it clean or dirty. I keep it clean and use pedals for drive. There's no quiet setting on this amp though so it sounds cranked with the master on 1 and the channels barely on. It sounds better to me with the master turned off but it is very loud.

[@Narcissisusinthesky]

I like the sound quality of the video but... it's a little too much if you ask me

[@ehdforlife]

Yes, is it a work horse? Any problems?

[@rocknrollresignation93]

+Tracy Street I haven't gigged with it or anything like that but I was playing it for a couple hours the other day and got it pretty hot. I shut it down for a little while came back and went to turn it on again and the front light started flashing and the infinium lights were flashing on the back. They stopped flashing and the third light stayed on which indicates a problem with that tube. I didn't see any evidence of the tube burning out or anything like that. I tried to turn it on a couple more times but it wouldn't so I let it cool down for a while. I tried again later and it worked fine and has been working fine ever since. I'm still on the fence about keeping it haven't made up my mind yet. It sounds decent but a little harsh to my ears. Maybe some new tubes will warm it up. I just removed the two inner power tubes to reduce power and heat. I'll be trying it out tomorrow.

[@kosycat1]

+Tracy Street had mine for about 4 years and have had no problems, played 10 plus gigs and record with it all the time.i love my amp! swapped out the tubes for jj kt77's

[@kentgrill-als2894]

just put svetlana winged c power tubes and tad 7025 preamp tubes in mine... A/b'ed it with a Marshall yjm100 on a pre Rola greenback cab... cant tell the difference anymore :-D

[@carsonrunyon6099]

a great amp. just got one today. I did notice it gets a little hot, and I did notice the tube indicator lights flashing, but no solid light. The tone is great, and as far as the durability, the thing is built like a tank and is really heavy. But for the internals, I'm just going to see how far it goes.

[@infectionsman]

Mine has two broken buttons so far, the one that controls DB level on FX loop, and PPIMV on/off. Luckily the PPIMV is stuck ON haha! I think it should be easy to fix tho.

[@MrAndfio]

What attenuator did you use ?

[@infectionsman]

this amp comes stock with a PPIMV master volume on the back

[@ehdforlife]

how has the amp head up?

[@rocknrollresignation93]

+Tracy Street Do you mean how has it held up?

[@aaronsg71]

Tyler Stelluti yes, is it still holding up???

[@ardenunger2932]

@@aaronsg71 You commented this a year ago but if you're still wondering I got mine in 2018, it's seen plenty of abuse, finally started going recently. I luckily selected the 3 year warranty at checkout, Bugera's insurance thing "Asurion" fully paid for shipping and the repair. Had it back to me within a week fully repaired. Thing is back to ripping and it sounds amazing - I have it running through a Marshall 1960a w/ G12T-75s I got for $400 used

[@Kyush4]

whats a ppimv? a pedal?

[@salzulli6290]

Dakota Duarte I think that's the master volume knob in the back.

[@salzulli6290]

Dakota Duarte I think it means "Post Phase Inversion Master Volume"

[@Kyush4]

and does that change tone? because being a plexi clone the sound is closer to a 800

[@salzulli6290]

Brais Duarte Shouldn't

[@Kyush4]

i think it sounds that powerful due to those doug aldrich pickups
