guys calm down, Both sound good, what's the deal?

[@SilentNightBodomNight]

@@OlaEnglund they're upset that they spent 10x more for something that sounds identical.

[@riffstud93]

I just got a bugera 6262 and its amazing. Tone for days, gain for days, and you dont have to break the bank. Amazing amp. I highly recommend it

[@rextrowbridge8386]

Just got the infinium 6262 combo. Fabulous amp!

[@agufish]

Machine Head! I love my 6262. I bought a used one a few months ago, and it still hasn't blown itself up!

[@FateofTheFallenOFCL]

+AgufishMusic got mine brand new of of MF on a sale for 250$ had it since February and has treated me very well hasn't had any problems people were saying they were having.

[@SafelandingRecords]

+KMScovers Any issues since? I am wanting to buy it this week but have heard so many negative things. Please reply!

[@FateofTheFallenOFCL]

Nope i had mine for over a year and no problems, but i traded mine just to have less maintenance on me, since i on't have the money to replace tubes and what not

[@RockMattStar1]

so I could have a 6262 which sounds almost exactly like the 5150 and lose it, buy another, lose it and buy another and still have spent less than a 5150.

[@kinglord5163]

They sound awesome but they might explode on stage so u got extra fireworks. I would only buy them if you have extreme low budget.

[@RockMattStar1]

+King Lord I've had mine for a number of years now, gigged regularly, rehearsing several times a week and it's never let me down. I think it might be like a lot of products, user error causing problems. look after your kit and it will work fine.

[@_entrxpy]

then lose them near my home or let me know where u lose them haha

[@martinguitarlover12]

they only exploded/burnt up because the bias is set to high on most out of the factory sadly. but it's just a knob you can turn down manually.

[@QuincyKane]

Is it true that Bugera's don't last long? I may possibly get one, but I don't want it if it's gonna blow up on me a few years later.

[@Sticky_Tea]

First Ola video I saw, subbed around that time Can't believe it's already been 9 years You've come a long way 🤘🏻

[@rickywilson1106]

I have a Bugera 333xl. Transported it all over the place for the past 3years. Sounds and works like a champ. No problems at all. Not afraid to take it out and let other musicians see it either cause it kicks ass for the price. Got mine for $275 on Craigslist. Take care of your shit and it should not let you down.

[@DJRay]

So the Peavey is that much better to pay twice the price of the Bugera? I don't think so...

[@KurtFuller]

Bugera sounds more creamy and warm, a bit compressed. Peavey sounds with more bright, is more agressive and organic, maybe a bit cold. I prefer the Bugera sounding.

[@micronesia3797]

I'm sure with some tweaking, you could correct the warmness of the 6262 to perfectly replicate the tonal characteristics of the 5150.

[@DrugerJam]

Гитара это качественная середина, и на peavey она звучит намного лучше

[@ExploitTheVibe369]

All of which can be solved with an eq pedal...

[@EkulGgats]

I personally prefer the Bugera hands down. Although they do sound quite similar, I can definitely tell without looking when the you switch between them. The bugera has a more percussive, organic, throaty sound in comparison with the peavey, which IMO sounds thinner, fizzier, and more compressed. Great comparison! I must say I was suprised.

[@kingpriapatius5832]

5150 has more clarity especially on the mids, but the 6262 is definitely a very good copy

[@Diebold410]

Thats why we love eq pedals baybeeeee

[@JGC1]

Did you realize that your cover sounds much better than the original song? OMFG!

[@PWalden762]

Most people seem to prefer the 6262/6260. I LOVE my 6260. The 333xl will be more versatile, however. The cleans/crunch on the 6260 is just okay. It will be better than the 333xl for metal, however, which is why I love mine.

[@BigfootRunning]

The 5150ii has that “snarl” to it. My favourite metal amp, hands down.

[@othereyeswise]

It's "Old man" by Machine Head, off the album "Burn my eyes". Enjoy!

[@RKDriver]

I have a Bugera 6260 Infinium which is supposed to be a 5150 i clone. The Infinium series are very reliable and allow you to swap tubes without biasing. I'm running 2 JJ's 6L6's with 2 stock 6L6's and love the tone I get. The biggest thing I did to my tone however, was to change out the speakers in my cheap Crate cab. I installed Eminence Texas Heat speakers and everything came alive. The Bugera amp only cost $400 new and with the speaker upgrade, I have a rig that sounds like it costs over $3000. Very happy.

[@ParanormalMetalMan]

+RKDriver I can relate, i have 6262 infinium and i use a crate cab as well, I play hard rock and clean too and still use stock tubes and speakers, need to upgrade!

[@RKDriver]

Tried different tubes in the Bugera and the stock tubes aren't too bad. But like I said, I am mixing them with JJ's and it works!.

[@danieljwillen1993]

+RKDriver Gahhh!!! I'm seriously torn between this and the 333xl infinium!!!!

[@xXDarkxIdealsXx]

+RKDriver You should check out WGS speakers (iirc wgs stands for warehouse guitar speakers) they have a model called the Veteran 30 which is literally 99.9% as good as the Celestion Vintage 30 but half the price lol. And they have versions of like the Eminence legend etc.. The texas heat is ok, but you could still get some better speakers in the future imo. The veteran 30's are $65 to $70 whereas a vintage 30 celestion is $140.

[@xXDarkxIdealsXx]

+Daniel Willen I personally prefer the 6262, if you're playing metal or harder rock it's definitely worth it. Overall i think the Trirec is the best Bugera though, it is $50-$100 more than the 6262 but it has the two 5U4 rectifier tubes and sounds quite close to the Mesa Dual Rectifier. The other guitarist i play with in a band uses it, i used to use a Dual Rectifier too so i know what they sound like and it was 90-95% as good as the real thing for like 40% of the price lol.

[@sonicwingnut]

Having a good objective listen though some decent monitors the Peavey still stands out, I think there's a touch more punch to it. But seriously that's a pretty damn good effort on the part of Bugera there! And I suspect some higher quality valves to the stock ones and a little EQ will easily compensate for the tiny differences.

[@richardshank7659]

Honestly it probably could be right on par with it with a higher quality output transformer which is still less than the 5150

[@patricksmith7063]

When it all boils down it's all about individual taste. I personally couldn't tell much of a difference. But they both sounded great! the Price difference is the true defining feature, in that case Bugera is the winner hands down !

[@777breebree]

I honestly think I liked the Bugera a bit more, it seemed to have a little more low end punch than the 5150II did

[@eXeMagnum]

You felt that tighter bottom end too?

[@Metallion-ol8bc]

Carter Lee. I agree.

[@blazegulizack]

Tighter maybe. But too thing and twangy

[@belligerentamateur]

The long awaited return of MOSH GIRL!!! I own a peavey 6505 and 5150 with the deluxe Voodoo mod. Thought about picking up one of the bugera's for practicing as I'm in a couple different bands....I can honestly say the tone comparison is very satisfying

[@enrath4078]

I have just come to realize I watched this 11 years ago. I didn't realize this was Ola. Holy shit I've been watching him longer than I thought

[@boristsonev8174]

Can't point the differences with closed eyes but the Bugera sounds a bit more steelish with a pinch of an engl. And about the 5150- it's a damn 5150 what else would you want from an amp- more knobs? Quite a good amp, Bugera.

[@Metatronix55]

the bugera was muddy sounding where as the peavey was clear and crisp. It could be a difference in the tubes but both amps sounded pretty good

[@Metatronix55]

Ya pretty much. Id take either amp over what I had at the time of writing that.. One amp just sounded way more clearer to me so the opposite of that would be muddy or mufflled.

[@OlaEnglund]

@SuperGuitarMark what he means is that the guitars aren't drowned out by the other instruments making it hard to hear. You have to let every instrument, drums, guitars and bass have their own frequency range.

So far so good with my 6260. I haven't had any problems with it yet. I bought it back in February and have gigged with it a few times without any problems. I will say invest in a good noise suppressor though.

[@Rafcyk]

I think the same. Peavey is more bright and transparent, has more high tones or maybe depends on settings i guess. But i think comparing the price differences - Bugera is unvanquishable.

[@mulambo84]

I am really impressed, if you close your eyes and don't look at the amps, you are totally paying attention to the tone, it is nearly impossible to tell which is which, props to bugera

[@AdamRainStopper]

The thing about "scooped" mids is that it's become a matter of all or nothing. Most ams don't have the 5 band graphic like a Boogie, so you get one knob, usually centered at 1KHz, and turning it down cuts right out of the center. The tight "scooped yet not so scooped" tone that a lot of metal bands use is low-mids being pulled down a bit just to prevent mud at high-gain levels, but the high-mids are still aloowed to breathe. Plus no knob should be all the way down unless you want a thin sound.

[@Andrei.x8]

i actually like the bugera more... sounds a little more gnarly

[@arsenalfanrichi]

Both are great, but imho the 5150 is tighter and a tiny bit thicker. The 6262 is a little more scooped and American sounding.

[@AquaVert34]

[@Limitless_Potato]

wouldn't the 333xl be better

[@paintballnsk]

This is the first back to back test I've heard where I couldn't care one way or the other. They're so close you couldn't pick them out blind. Good job man. The good part about picking up a used 5150II is that it's going to hold its value forever as long as you don't trash it. The Bugeras are kind of in that realm where they aren't made super solid and get a reputation for not lasting. We had one ignite at the local shop. Couldn't have been that old, it was new or store model.

[@user-gv4bf4zx2s]

I read up before I got my Bugera last week, and when they first cam eout, they were not reliable at all, even by tube amp standards. They were known to blow tubes, caps, and flimsy pots. Behringer addressed the concerns, and from what I read, their reliable is supposed to be good now. As a point of interest, if you register a new Bugera within 90 days of purchase, they will extend the warranty to 3 years. A warranty won't help if it fails onstage, but it's better than 1 year.

[@FretFriendGWaL]

There's not much in it IMO. With better tubes the 6262 is an awesome head! I have a 6262 with upgraded tubes + I use a Maxon OD-808 as a clean boost :D :D :D

[@ramonediaz9]

I really think these amps get a bad name because of that fact that they are very affordable they fall into the hands of armature players more often than with more seasoned players with the money to get any amp they desire ,so with someone who isn't familiar with how a tube amp works and not having the ear for dialing in a band setting worthy tone they get a bad rep , and this just in! tubes need to be replaced eventually with modern made tubes they don't make them like they used to so think of it this way fifty - sixty years ago tubes were state of the art so they had to be well made that's why you hear about old marshals and vox amps with forty/fifty year old tubes ,we're the only dummies still using tubes

[@montymakesmovies]

The two sound damn near identical. Impressive.

[@TramEFx]

WOW! This an excellent comparison. 5150 has that ballsy upper mid-range boost while the 6262 has a signature growl, sounds slightly scooped, and with a little less "fuzz". But these differences are miniscule. These amps sound almost exactly alike. But for metal I would have to go with the Bugera. Just sounds more BRUTAL. Think I'm gonna get one...

Bugera WAS known for problems a couple of years back. Build quality in recent years has shot up considerably. I have my own Bugera 6262 combo from 2007-2008 and after playing nearly every day since I got it it's still mint.

[@gtarmn75]

The molex connector from the out put transformer is what I was talking about. My 1960 sounds great but keeps making a popping sound even with new tubes. Works great just pops. Its probably a screen plate resister. 6505+ has the same problem and need to be replaced annually or every couple years if cranked for long periods of time.

[@ReTr093]

Peavey sounds more middy

[@hmcg020]

The rhythm guitarist in the band uses a mesa mark V combo, this is the second best combo amp in the world-IMO. It has a fair few features and components that my bugera does not have, HOWEVER, in terms of volume, drive and clean tone, it has much more for 1/3 the price. his amp on 9 is as loud as mine on 4. I would recommend Bugera to anyone, just make sure you get a warranty as they are made nowere near as beautifully as a mesa.

[@chibisven]

great to see a video validating what I already thought. They're definitely close, distinct low-mid difference but very similar. A 6260 has been my main amp for a while and I love it.

[@StupidSpoge]

I personally think they both sound great. It may just be the settings, or the tubes even, but the 5150 has a tighter low end, making it a little more defined for this style. I have a 5150, but if I had bought a 6262 a few years back, I wouldn't have been disappointed.

[@andreydyumaev5131]

btw, seems like he's got the older version (non-infinium, rumored to have cheaper materials)... modern version has red-orange lights instead of blues, has a tube life monitor & autobiasing gadget on the back (hella useful! for example, switching 6L6 EL34 becomes plug and play), and claims a more expensive cabinet build

[@SRKanai1]

@Oilersordie To be fair youre correct. Those amps average between 1500 and 2500 for the heads alone but buy the time you add on the 1000 dollars you'll spend on the cab 3500 isn't that far off.

[@Evowar05]

To be frank, I like the 6505 more, buuuuuut considering the Bugera price, you could throw in an eq pedal and get that same sound for half the money, plus a pair of tubes, a noise gate, an OD and a new set of tubes and still have money left to get drunk for celebrating your purchase.

[@BradKroll]

They are the exact same amp, the Bugera is a copy of the Peavey. Any differences heard in tone is probably due to different mic placement, lesser quality parts in the Bugera or other factors that inevitably come into play during the recording process. As far as an opinion on buying anything from Bugera, enjoy your trip back to the guitar store in a week after you buy it. When I asked my local music shop how many Bugera's come back broken after being sold, he replied "all of them."

[@karter151]

I'm under the impression that both of these amps are practically the same, yet the EL34's in the Bugera are giving it that richer tone that everyone else is talking about. I wanna see a comparison between the Bugera 6262 and the Peavey 6534+ to be sure.

[@tuck234]

Because they are the same... ;) Well now its even better since Bugera released their Infinium Line.

[@AKGuitarist]

The Bugera 6262 comes stock with 6L6s, but can be switched over to take EL34s.

[@pyramidhead1361]

Literally almost identical tones. Crazy.

[@SteelSkin667]

It's amazing how similar these amps sound. The Peavey seems to sound a bit thicker to my ears. But again some people in the comments are saying the exact opposite.

[@insanelyobese5123]

people can argue all day which sounds better but what it comes down to is that they are both amazing sounding amps for metal.

[@SeanWallaceGuitar]

Is it just me, or is the 5150 II just really spectacular in your demos? It seems to sound better than many of the amps three times its price. I really love the sound of it. Both of these amps sound great by the way! For the price, the 6262 is definitely a cool amp.

[@BarryMClark]

I don't really play metal anymore... but one amp I wish I didn't let go of (kinda had to) was my original 5150. That was a relentless amp.

[@gtarmn75]

When it comes to tone its really personal preference. I've played for over 20 years. I love all kinds of metal. I own tube and solid state amps. I like amp distortion and pedal distortion. Some pedals sound better with certain amps and some people just can't dial stuff in to much gain or treble. Or cut their mids to much. My tone is ever changing. Besides when your mic'd through a p.a. your tone changes anyway. Sometimes you have to change it to be heard in your bands mix so noone is drowned out

[@DivorcedFL]

Bout time this shootout was done, awesome man! Bugera 6262 wins for me.

[@mikesinaro]

Honestly identical. Bugera is one hell of a company man.

[@PanzerfaustBeats]

WOW, the Bugera sounds really, really nice in comparison.

[@GilmourD]

Actually, I somewhat have to agree with Raqubor. I was thinking that the 6262 was definitely a little darker and more midrangey. Actually, ironically, it might be easier to get an EVH "brown sound" out of the 6262 if that is indeed the case. One thing, though... Whatever tubes are installed in the amp can actually make a big difference. I've had a bunch of 6L6GC equipped amps and replaced them with SEDs from whatever Sovteks people end up sticking in amps most of the time and it's a huge change

[@christphuc]

Great playing, great test, great humorous & overtly random cinematography, great video. Also, at a few points you look crazily similar to James Maynard.

[@immortalxgr]

That's a proper side by side comparison. Enough riffs played on both amps that reveal all the nuances and not jut a random open chord. It seems there's an obvious difference this way (esp on the high end), but if the Bugera was put on a 5150 case and given to someone, he couldn't tell the difference playing it on it's own IMHO... Thanks for sharing this Ola man :)

[@systemofachan]

I like the distinctive bright, aggression that comes out of the Peavey 5150 II. I prefer the chunkiness and fullness that comes from the Bugera 6260, though. Both are great, and for the price, you cannot beat the Bugera.

[@rstlesswarrior]

There is so much more to an amps sound then just the schematics and tubes. More important than the type of tube would be the output-transformer, the location of the components and power-transformer.

[@gundamnitpete]

I think these two amps would mix really well in the mix. I chose my 6262 over the 6505 because of it's darker tone, which fit my style better. Really good demo, I would love to hear this mixed like you did with the savage and Daul Rex.

[@givemeajackson]

@ArtisticConcept i believe you, the ht-dual is a kickass pedal. and the hotrod deluxe is a kickass amp for what it does

[@metalmigue1]

Hey Ola! I've enjoyed so mucho this video. I'm a 6262 owner and proud of it! Love your videos, you're doing an awesome work with all the reviews!

[@IshanAditya]

and given that you can have a 6262 at 1/3rd the price I dont see why anyone would buy the 5150 anymore, apart for brand-loyalty (there's nothing wrong with that, btw). But, Peavey act like snobs and refuse to start any dealerships in developing countries like India (that's where I'm from) whereas Bugera has dealerships and support all over the planet. So the choice for me is pretty straightforward here :) Thanks a lot Ola! This was just awesome. I love underdogs, and I love the Bugera.

[@EthanHanus]

The 5150 is tighter and ballsier, the 6262 is brighter by a lot and lacks some low end. But it holds it's own against the 5150 rather well. Very surprising.

[@Killyoudeadnstuff]

the 5150 is more fluffy, and 6262 is more solid. the 6262 is battling for space in the mix because of how solid it is, like it's not "moving over" for the other instruments and they cover up the guitar tone, where the 5150 is more transparent so you can hear right through it, i can distinguish individual notes easier with the 5150. and everything just sounds so clear. the 6262 also sounded more scooped to me in the upper mids. the 6262 was heavier. 5150 sounded more organic to me. all opinion...

[@NicolasCavigneaux]

I have a Bugera 333XL for month now, playing it every day and I don't have any problem at all. You can go for it. You can break 4 or 5 bugera it's still cheaper than only one Peavey.

[@SRKanai1]

I have used my Bugeras all over the world for live and studio gigs a like and I can say without a doubt they are some of the best at any price. I have kicked the shit out of them and never had an issue. My 1990 and 6262 are my babies! Next will be the 333XL! It's great to see the look on someones face when they complement your tone with desire in their eyes and then watch their smile fade when they see that your $600 head just kicked their $3500 head's ass in the mud! Priceless!

[@ChristsDanimal777]

The bugera sounds just a hair thinner, a little less umph on that low end but for HALF the price I'm sure you can find a eq pedal to dial in a little more lows/low-mids to get it to sound EXACTLY the same....not to mention that ALL the nobs on both amps were set to noon so you could just as well turn the bass up on the Bugera and make them just about indistinguishable, especially in a studio where you're going to eq everything anyway after tracking!!!!

[@ScoutPilfer]

They still are. i'm not saying you can't get a rock solid amp for cheap, but the law of averages would side with Peavey as having the higher quality amplifier. Yours may still be mint, but I have seen a Peavey drop out of a car and work with nothing but a tube swap.

[@givemeajackson]

the problem isn't really to get poweramp distortion, it's to overcome this "underpowering" of the tubes that makes them sound shit at low volumes.from my experiences i've found that most amps reach their full potential at about 3/10 on the master volume, and the lower you go the worse it gets (all depending on the amp of course). so, it makes a difference if you can put the master to 3/10 or 1/10 to get the same volume. try something with a powersoak like an engl gigmaster to hear it in person.

[@MikeyGee001]

Scooped mids sound GREAT if you are alone .. but I have found that if you scoop to much you WILL NOT cut through the mix

[@StanBloch777]

First batch of 6262/6262/333/333xl had the notorious sizzling connector issue where by design there is a connector from the power transformer secondary onto the main PCB which was never meant to handle the copious current that these amps chew through and it eventually it fries. only a matter of time. It is easily repaired by soldering the wires directly to the pins on the main PCB. Also, all 333/333xl knobs are quite flimsy. Not an issue with the 6260/6262.

[@dimitrianchipolovsky7846]

I feel that if the bugera had some more processing in the FX loop, say like a sonic maximizer, and compression (be it rack mounted or in front of the amp) and it would sound exactly the same as the peavey if not better, for still a fraction of the price. These are seriously under rated amps.

[@mctwishvonnoodles9793]

I know this is an older video, but I've been looking into the whole 5150 sound and I have to say that the Bugera is thoroughly impressing me. That being said, you can get an OG 5150 for about the same price as a new Bugera. Not only are you getting a solid fuckin' tank of an amp (Peaveys are insanely reliable), you're getting a piece of history too. But that's not to knock the Bugera at all. If I can't find a 5150 head anywhere in my budget, I won't be heartbroken at all about getting a 6262.

[@kstaley1768]

Tone is tone man! I also love to see people's faces when they see my 333xl and thought it was a boutique amp! Nothin against the gear snobs, but c'mon man. Workin mans budget and a kick ass gig, Priceless!!!!!!!!

[@virusofthedeath]

I will tell you a very important thing that happens with the bugeras. You guys should BIAS it right out of the box, especially the ones that come with 6L6's, since the setting 6L6 that bugeras come with are really COLD for the valves. You need to get a BIAS PROBE and set the amp to the lowest BIAS setting, then put it to EL34 and measure it. That way you can BIAS the amp properly with enough current to make it sound good. THAT WAY this amp sounds 95% like a real 5150. 100% sure.

[@scyphe]

The main difference I heard was that the Bugera had some kind of boost in the higher mid-range which is simply a matter of taste. The Peavey had a less prominent mid-range and thus sounded slightly more "metal for the money", fatter, for that particular song. Again, a matter of taste. The differences were slight though and if Bugera has sorted out their early quality problems I can't think of any reason to choose the 5150 II over the Bugera 6262.

[@Gecc]

You are more than obviously right, that's not some kind of a secret at all :D However, a good friend of mine bought one of these like 3 years ago, and yes it blew up after 2 weeks. Some tiny stuff has been replaced, and it kicks ass ever since then! Now the other guitarist plays this amp as well, and they do an outstanding job live as well! Not to mention, that you get this quality for half the price of a peavey :) Okay, not the same quality, but c'mon! :)

[@gtarmn75]

I've owned several peaveys and have had a lot of issues. I've got buddies with marshalls. My bugera has had no issues and I crank it at home and with my band for several hours at a time and its been really reliable. I think engl's are really awesome a friend of mine has a engl endorsement and uses them. So if I did buy a higher end amp again I would go with engl. I just think bugera gets a bad rap compaired to other more established companies who had reliability issues in the 60's 70's and 80's.

The sounds are very similiar. But it seems as though the Peavey has just a pinch more presence or edge to it. With that said, both tones are outstanding.

@metalhead77479 Ill take your word for it, I made my choice over the comparison i heard in this video. But thanks man, really appreciate the input.

[@MitsuMetal]

Both sound great. Peavey has some extra spice in the upper mid range as I hear it, as if it was played with a v30 speaker and Bugera sounds as if through g12t75.

This video illustrates what they sound like at the same settings, but that doesn't mean you can't get the exact same sound out of the two.

Is 1000 dollars really worth that tiny of a difference? I don’t think so. Both are good amps, but I would only choose the peavey if I had a bunch of cash to throw around, but if I were on a budget, the 6262 is an amazing amp for the price. So 9 times out of 10 I’d go Bugera.

[@ScreamynDemon]

Damn fine comparison. Obviously the amps sound VERY similiar but I think the 5150 sounds just a hair warmer.

[@geauxtime]

Both sound badass and very similar.

[@Fantasixsixsix]

@fluff191 true that. The sound is exactly the same (given that all other circumstances are the same), but the build quality is... well... worth the money you pay. And you don't pay a lot.

[@NicolasCavigneaux]

Oh well so forget about the price. Bugera is now very reliable. There was issues in the beginning but it isn't true anymore. And in France you have a 3 years warranty.

[@joshmiller5374]

This just sold me on the Bugera, so much cheaper price but so much more body and low end. It rivals mesas in my opinion

[@VilleMetsola]

Awesome video, awesome playing, awesome song. So yeah... Frankly the differences are almost too small to really matter. Both amps would be perfectly usable. Personally I liked the 5150 clips a little better because the tone had more grit to it.
