BUGERA INFINIUM Valve Life Multiplier Technology

INFINIUM Valve Life Multiplier technology is exclusive to BUGERA valve guitar and bass amplifiers. Look for the new INFINIUM series of heads and combos at your favorite music dealer.
bugera-amps.com
NOTE: While auto-biasing is not new, the way BUGERA does it is quite different. We use a smart micro-controller that tracks every tube independently and adjusts them only when they are heated up and audio is not present to avoid biasing errors. The INFINIUM technology can also shut down defective tubes individually without shutting down the whole amp which is crucial during a concert. There is much more to it and we plan another video to explain the advantages.

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

[@Rocknrollthor_norway]

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 :)

[@TekNacho]

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!

[@bugera-amps]

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

[@7051mike]

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

[@RandyMassia]

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

[@bugera-amps]

@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!

[@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!

[@varaspk]

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

[@bugera-amps]

@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!

[@bugera-amps]

@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.

[@bugera-amps]

@MyLifeChanger YES! The BVV3000 as well!

[@bugera-amps]

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

[@BBryker]

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.

[@bugera-amps]

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

[@bugera-amps]

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

[@bugera-amps]

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

[@bugera-amps]

@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!

[@bugera-amps]

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

[@klv400]

Awesome Vid....

[@Wildchildinc]

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

[@vanhalen5150jhs]

cool stuff

[@bugera-amps]

Absolutely!

[@bugera-amps]

@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.

[@bugera-amps]

@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!

[@bugera-amps]

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.

[@jacka94]

American idol '05! Thats my favourite year!

[@LuceroLucero22]

This is very cool....

[@bugera-amps]

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

[@SRKanai1]

@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!

[@bugera-amps]

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.

[@bugera-amps]

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

[@bugera-amps]

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

[@bugera-amps]

@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.

[@bugera-amps]

@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.

[@jlhyz2]

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

[@bugera-amps]

If it fits, it rocks.

[@bugera-amps]

@randomlyselecteduser Which amp are you referring to, specifically?

[@SuperGuitarMark]

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!

[@xXxBorknagarxXx]

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/

[@bugera-amps]

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. :)

[@bugera-amps]

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

[@Loldog1000]

Epic.

[@bugera-amps]

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.

[@GuitarRazze]

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

[@bugera-amps]

Yup!

[@Fartbrain45]

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

[@bugera-amps]

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

[@GuitarRazze]

yeah!!!

[@martyhuff242]

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

[@bugera-amps]

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

[@bugera-amps]

Yep, that's how it works. :)

[@bugera-amps]

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

[@bugera-amps]

@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? :)

[@FreemanLIVE]

Bugera 1960 Infinium here I come!

[@Tonskiislegit]

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.

[@GuitarRazze]

is the infinium series gonna fix the burned connector problem?

[@bugera-amps]

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

[@bretsimpson1482]

I have the non infinium 6262 and was trying to find out if there are any problems with putting KT-66-jj in it

[@bugera-amps]

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

[@Crunchifyable]

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

[@bugera-amps]

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

[@ripche34]

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?

[@ktxdgqtx]

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

[@Coisoman]

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...

[@KirkTheGod]

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

[@bugera-amps]

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

[@qi5bz]

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...

[@gm1600]

just bought v22 infinium pretty kool can i make preamp more ballz what do you recomend

[@elmecanismodelbotijo]

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

[@evilivyesp]

so if i wanted to put another 6l6s into the amop i do not ned any biasing?? what about 12ax7s? and how does it work xactly? just putting the tubes in and switch it on and thats it?

[@martinguitars8991]

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

[@no0197]

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.

[@TheCuri]

want one

[@Scvenger.1986]

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??

[@SuperGuitarMark]

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?

[@jboner668]

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

[@fretshd84]

Jo Bugera, do you give Endorsements to people? where can i get more informations about that?

[@sean106alcon]

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!

[@turkeytits179]

Is it true that biasing is automatic meaning if the tube is coming to its end, I swap it and the biasing stage Is done for me because it puts the right amount of current in the tube. An answer would be greatly appreciated as I am hoping to receive one in 2 months time.

[@666ChrisAsh]

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

[@insanelyobese5123]

yeah but, can Infinium make me taco's?

[@thomasromain2864]

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

[@Ginekope]

Hi! I've received the 6260 infinium! It sounds better than my jcm2000 :D. It is told we can mix different power tubes, so why is there a selector only for 4x6l6 or El34? The manual disadvise to use different tubes. Could you light my lantern?

[@jboner668]

@bugera that's interesting.........

[@bretsimpson1482]

So just to confirm everything I've been reading about tubes...will the Bugera 6262 take 4 KT-66-jj power tubes?

[@JKryanX]

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

[@yunegarcia]

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.

[@shelfstretcher]

What amp/guitar/effects setup was used in the video? I liked the sound.

[@roryl9409]

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

[@AXESLINGER2112]

does an infinium amp need to be bias to make sure the bias is the correctly checking the right voltage?

[@vladiparsonen7902]

Hi! I have a question about changing tubes in such a amp:does it mean that i just put new tube in and infinium will do the rest?

[@oderaokafor5746]

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

[@tim76239]

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

[@thedaybreakproject]

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....

[@vladiparsonen7902]

i have a question-when i start to play,should stand by-switch be in on-position?

[@flegias85]

I have the bugera 333xl infinium and connect it to harley benton 2x12. The bugera has two loudspeakers, which of then I have to use? Or it s the same? Thanks a lot

[@djguzzy10]

Can you do the same thing with the preamp tubes too?

[@panterametal333]

How long after you replace a tube will it be ready to play?.Do I leave it in standby mode for the amp to bias the new tube?.

[@ImperialWarmaster]

Will a Bugera 333XL "Infinium" model work with 6V6's/ 6L6G's/6L6GB's/Russian 6P3S's and similar lower wattage tubes? And if they don't fry, what about impedance issues/mismatches etc..can I still use it with the 16 ohm tap? ~Thanks.
