Bugera G20 Infinium Class A Tube Guitar Amplifier Head Demo

Hey guys, check out my full demo of the Bugera G20 Infinium Class A tube amplifier head!
#bugera #amps #g20infinium #guitaramp #demo
This little monster is a versatile beast, has a wide range of tones, from the cleanest of cleans to full-on saturated gain and everywhere in between.
I was really impressed with all the sounds I got from this diminutive tone machine. I was rather surprised by the quality of the emulated lineout and the reverb isn't bad either, you get a lot of bang for your buck with this little tube head.
Big thanks to the guys at Bugera Amps and Music Tribe for sending me this to play with.
Hope you enjoy the demo, let me know what you think?

Really like the way focused on both clean and lead channels. Really well done review of the entire sound of the amp. Really nice playing as well! Thank you!

[@bugera-amps]

Sounding GREAT Lee!!!

[@LeeButlerGuitarist]

BUGERA Thanks Guys, glad you dig it!

[@joecharpentier6636]

I just bought one and replaced the ecc83 tubes with Mullard 12ax7. Holy crap this thing is pure metal. And the best part is the Horizon Precision Drive pedal up front. It adds just enough gain to make this match any amp gain wise. Super tight, string definition etc. All for less than $600. With my 4x12, I can gig anywhere. Awesome playing 👍

[@lancefraijo8585]

I like the tones I'm hearing it's perfect for my playing, you sir have played all the right notes making this a amazing amp head. Thanks

Great review! The best one by far. I'm saving for this head.

Hey Donald, thanks man, glad you enjoyed it!

[@donalddaley2179]

@@LeeButlerGuitarist I just bought a pre owned for $ 199. Clean and reverb are really good. I'm still working on getting a good drive tone. Thanks again for a great review.

[@LeeButlerGuitarist]

@@donalddaley2179 Awesome man, enjoy!

[@Ronno4691]

There's a KZbin video of this amp with a guy playing his outside a warehouse at full blast in the middle of nowhere. The camera/mic is thirty yards away and the volume is deafening.

[@rockngpa5094]

When I bought my Bugera G20 I did exactly what you did here , I should’ve KZbin it for others - oops!!! I’ve never look back since owning this G20 w/2-1x12s Bugera cabinets. Factory tubes are so good you don’t need pedals but I caved in to get Full Bore metal pedal for different tear your ears off tones and this amp keeps on ticking!!!

[@littlebritain64]

Mmmhhh, very good clean and juicy overdriven sounds. I am a beginner player but I think I have good years for my age. I am planning to buy a 55 Bugera combo (but with a power soaker for the neighbourhood...😂). I hope I can have at least some of such these sounds! Thank You for the demo!!

[@claudedisnard862]

Great demo man, I am very I'm impressed with the Bugera 20H , great tones , first great demo about Bugera amps, well done ,love your playing.

[@LeeButlerGuitarist]

Thanks man, much appreciated! glad you liked the demo and yes there are some very impressive tones inside this little amp

[@kmichaelp4508]

I was searching for a in depth review of this amp! Wala. You brought out a lot in short time. I like it. Very good review.

[@LeeButlerGuitarist]

Sorry for the extremely late reply, but thank man!

[@stevenmgyori3826]

Very nice tones and demonstration! Your Stratocaster is lovely on the clean channel, very Deluxe Reverb like! I don't think people give Bugera the credit they deserve. Overdrive is quite good and Marshall like! Thanks for sharing brother! Be Well Lee!

[@LeeButlerGuitarist]

Thanks Steven, yeah the Strat sounded really nice on the clean channel, for the money I think it's a great amp... Glad you enjoyed the demo and thanks for your feedback and comments as always man, hope you're well!

[@metaldownm]

This is how an amp review should be. 👍

[@LeeButlerGuitarist]

Cheers dude!

[@jornvallis8051]

Nice playing!

[@stonefateband1712]

Sounds banging! Seriously considering getting one as a back for shows (if we are ever allowed to gig again that is!!)

[@stonefateband3387]

Banging review that man! Was looking getting the V22 but on strength of this review, gonna pull the trigger on this. Nice work 🤘

[@LeeButlerGuitarist]

Thanks!

[@stephendouglas9431]

Thank you for posting! It is very hard to find information about the Bugera G20 head. This video was extremely useful, especially due to limitations going to the store during COVID. Just bought one :)

[@LeeButlerGuitarist]

No worries glad it helped man!

[@FretFriendGWaL]

Heck, you can get a new one of these for £210!!! Seriously considering grabbing one...

[@cflowers69]

I will say that this would be true winner if they re-work this amp a bit further. It needs: Better reverb. True two-channel, where the clean uses the tone stack or has its own available settings. And, make the "morph" dial a bit more dynamic, or add a switch for it. On the other hand, a Mooer pre-amp pedal through the effects loop is just AMAZING with this amp (I forgot to mention in my post below). I have both the Diezel and 5150-styled pedals from Mooer and this amp becomes something else entirely when you pipe those pedals through the effects loop.

[@danielgalanti1490]

I need to get one of these. Great sound amp and a steal of a deal. El34's in class A...self biasing...hell yes.

[@danielgalanti1490]

Update: I did get one of these :)

[@norbertittermann725]

TOP AMP !!!! TOP DEMO !!!! TOP STRATSOUND !!!!

[@LeeButlerGuitarist]

Thanks man, much appreciated!

[@jornvallis8051]

I've been doing alot research into Bugera's V22 and G20 amps, I want an amplifier that'll give me great clean tones, but will also give me some raunchy distortion as well. I think might have to purchase this one as it does both, really well and it's fairly affordable.

[@benedykt123313]

You might be better off with a decent clean amp with one or more good overdrive/distortion pedals. The issue with amps like this is that the EQ is set just right on either the clean or the overdrive channel, rarely ever on both. You don't want to be fucking around with EQ settings every time you switch channel.

[@BCTGuitarPlayer]

I’ve heard that Bugera uses some sub-par electronic components, but I’ve never seen anything to prove that either. When you consider how inexpensive these are and how great they sound it seems like it would be a pretty good option for someone that doesn’t have a lot of money. Personally, I’m impressed with what I’m hearing here! BTW: great smooth playing style! It just hit me that another video on the interior components would be a great one to show the public, although it would be a bit of a hassle. Just a thought... Thanks for putting this up.

[@portuguesebeer5069]

Yheah, i also heard that they are shity inside, but in other hand... id like to have One. The features are awesome! Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘

[@melexdy]

@@portuguesebeer5069 had one for 7 years , no issues. Opened it a couple of times to see what it looks like and it was all good. Obviously not hand wired.

[@Mikex0123]

"it self biases the power tubes" This is very interesting.

[@cmdrcrimbo]

Sounds great for a £230 tube amp im pretty impressed

[@johnnysewardjr3319]

I’m buying this for sure

[@cflowers69]

I have had this G20 for three years now. It is a very good amp, and the sounds are decent. It takes pedals very well, and is probably the best thing that it does. It has probably the weakest reverb I have ever found in an amp, and when I do use this amp I push the Tri-Reverb pedal through the effects loop. The gain sounds out of the box were ok, until I swapped the tubes out for some different ones. I settled with a Mesa 12ax7 at V1 and a Genalex Gold Lion at V2. I have also played the amp with both EL34s and later on 6L6 tubes, and the character of the amp changes quite a bit between the two types. It is a decent amp, but the second you stand it up next to a better head, it loses out quickly. I have a Peavey Valve King 20H and it kills this Bugera in terms of tone. Also have a Egnater Tweaker 40 and that one crushes both of those. lol. If you are shopping for a low-watt amp, check out the Joyo Bantamps. I have the Meteor, the Zombie, and the Jackman. They are amazing amps and are easy on the wallet.

[@snookthering]

Now you have it for 5 years. Is it still good? I'm planning to buy it. The only thing worries me is that if it's durable in the long run.

[@jacobbockover1628]

I've had this amp for 2 plus years and used it at least 8 hours a weak with the original tubes. Mine is very noisy in the power supply even on standby but for the most part it's been my most reliable amp

[@hankhill5409]

Mine was noisy til I replaced the tubes. Got a Mesa Boogie SPAX7 in the pre and a EHX 12BH7 in the power

[@xjohn1970]

New tubes in my g20 and still noisy . My Marshall sounds perfect. But cost 5x more thats why.

[@snookthering]

Now you have it for almost 4 years. Is it still good? I'm planning to buy it. The only thing worries me is that if it's durable in the long run.

[@ussrantiquehunt7164]

Man, this is the best demo of this amp so far... I wonder how it sounds cranking the clean channel. I'm a strat player (blues) I'm about to get one of these to pair with a Marshall head. The clean channel sounds really glassy. Really wonder how it sounds with the volume almost cranked. Congrats

[@Ronno4691]

I'll take one of these over a Marshall head. Funny how these Bugera Infiniums are substantially cheaper than Marshall, Blackstars etc...

[@PerryVenator16]

Just found your channel, but great review man! Subbed.

[@LeeButlerGuitarist]

Sorry for the extremely late reply man, but thank you much appreciated!

[@csh9853]

Just ordered one.thx for the review 👍

[@-thirteen]

I wonder if any post processing happened because this amp sounds very good

[@oldguyjammin9732]

How does it take pedals in the front? And does it use clipping diodes or transistors as part of the gain stage like the Blackstar? Curious because what ever it is in the Blackstar adversely affects its ability to take pedals or respond to volume roll offs on the guitar. Thanks, nice review for sure.

[@21stcenturymetal31]

Now that you've had this for a while. How's it holding up ? Also would you still recommend this or something else at this point and time? Thanks for the review and sharing your input.

[@jacobbockover1628]

I've had one of these heads for about 3 years. One of my power tubes is hotplateing. No warning lights or even audible difference since its auto bias I really don't know how to deal with it. Maybe these are just 3 year lifespan amps

[@arielguerrero1959]

tubes last 2 year playing at home!

[@jacobbockover1628]

@@snookthering i replaced the tubes with jjs and was pretty happy i sold it because i went to a much easier to move combo (was using 212s) so as far as i know its a good amp

[@snookthering]

@@jacobbockover1628 thanks a lot for kindly response. That's really help my buying decision. Less than half concern others like this as I've tried to ask many people who owned it for more than 3yrs. Have a nice day, god bless you.

[@kaybhee6]

decent recording

[@MrEstpas71]

I've owned a V22 combo and this thing was loud enough for in a band and stayed clean. It didn't change tonewise cranked up like some amps do (Hotrod Deluxe 3...). How does this amp perform cranked up? Is it loud enough and does it keep it's great tone?

[@danielbarth]

I was hoping to learn that as well... in some other demos the clean channel seems to have broken up quite early. But nobody gives specifics...

[@revelationtune]

What is the suitable power speaker cabinet for this amp? it can be matched on Marshall MX 212AR cabinet speaker (160 Watts 4ohms )

[@paskualu]

Hi ; do you have something between guitars and the amp ? Thx for response.

[@LurkenBoogieBand]

Must be clipping diods etc Only Two ecc83
