Bugera T5

[mikel]

Does anyone have experience of the Bugera T5 infinium amp, or the combo. Looking for a bedroom practice amp and I like the sound of valves. Any comments gratefully received.

Ahh well, worth a try, I will try one out and let you know what I think.

Sorry, I must have missed this, I had one of the v5 combos for a while, it had a pretty good valvey tone, worked well for my bluesy playing. It isn't the loudest but great for playing at home, worked quite well plugged into a 4x12 as well. 

 

I leant mine to a friend and they fell in love with it, I was saving for a mesa boogie so I sold it to them, I never found the mesa and kind of wish I still had the bugera.

Sorry for the delay….I don’t get round here as often as I should. 
 

The moment has probably passed for the OP but for the benefit of future readers who stumble across this thread in a search….

 

I have a T5 and I think it’s the perfect practice amp. It can get reasonably loud if you want but the attenuation switching allows you to keep the volume reasonable but still drive the amp and make it work a bit. 
 

I feed mine into a Barefaced GXii (I think they call it Redeemer or some such these days) and it sounds excellent. 
 

The valves are easy to swap if you want to go hotter or calm them down a touch. 
 

All in all, I think they’re great little amps for practice or even miked up for home recording.
