6262 Infinium 120-watt 2-channel Tube Head Review

Just great

My last review was a bit long whinded so in short I'll say just get it. Goes head to head with Mesa and other larger income amps. If it's good enough for me I'd just imagine you will not be disappointed

Go ahead and buy it before its gone

I have played fender amps for years and after looking at the 6 preamp tubes pushing 4 6l6's for the price I got one. A friend of mine had a 6505 peavey and this bugera is quite a bit better in my opinion (his as well which is why he plays a mesa boogie now) if you thought about this and are thinking just spend more for a more name brand model i suggest if you are to good a player… read more for this amp you should be getting them for free with possibly your own model.

Amazed

I bought this amp about 5 months ago so it has had time to wear in. This amp has blown me away with how amazing it is. First off it is super loud I play in a prog band and I have never turned it up over 3 and when it was at like 2 and a half I was overpowering the drums. The next thing about this amp is the tone the cleans are buttery and smooth and with the reverb(which also… read more goes to 11) makes the clean channel sing. The crunch channel does all of your vintage tones really well it likes to have a tube screamer to push it a little though. And finally the LEAD channel not only does it sound amazing but it has so much gain that I run it at about 1 o'clock and it has enough gain to do something like suicide silence(if that's what your into) In my opinion this is one amazing amp and for the price it's even more amazing if your looking for a metal amp that has great cleans look no further this is the amp for you. On a side note sweet water is the best music company in the world they help u through all the steps of purchasing an amp

Bugera 6260

I had reservations about this amp like most guitar players would. Everything I read online said these amps were awesome. The big drawback for me was the horror stories I heard / read about these amps blowing up in people faces. I watched all the U tube videos and everything. But I decided to go ahead and take the risk and try one out. A big fan of Marshall amps and especially… read more Peavey 6505+ I wanted an amp that could give that high gain sound. The brown sound and beyond... to Metal Extreme. I wasn't disappointed. The Amp Delivered. Fender tweed, Vox, Plexi, early Marshall, High gain And that signanature 6505 sound was there. I was amazed. Depending on channel and gain settings there is nothing you can't achieve. More gain than you would ever need for Death metal, and clean enough for country and blues..I played an outdoor gig with this amp in 106 degree weather, and it didnt flinch.

The Bugera 6262 Rocks. Literally.

After a lot of research on the Bugera 6262, I decided to purchase my first tube amplifier. I've always wanted to experience that tube sound that people always talk about, but I feared I couldn't afford it, since tube amplifiers are so incredibly expensive. After searching for a high wattage tube amplifier for an excellent price, I found Bugera. I wanted something for metal in the… read more Bugera line, and decided to go with the 6262. I received the box with the amp in it, along with the 412f Bugera BK cabinent, I immediately noticed how heavy it was. I like heavy. It's usually a sign of durability. I plugged everything up and began to play my first tube amplifier! I was blown away by the volume levels and tone. -The Lead Channel If you worry about not getting enough gain on this head, worry no longer. I never push it past 6. I usually keep it at 4, (or 2, when using a overdrive pedal). This thing sounds tight. Produces beautiful tight palm mutes, crushing riffs, and face melting solos. A killer metal tone. I wish the EQ section changed the tone more drastically. It's hard to notice a difference by just turning the knobs slightly up or down, you really have crank on the knobs to notice a difference. But it definitely is plenty enough to get the tone you want. -The Clean Channel After messing around with the knobs, I found a beautiful clean tone. It sounds alive, unlike a lot of solid state amps I have played clean on. The "Bright" option is awesome. It brings out a lot of higher frequencies to get more of a "twang" in your sound. In the clean channel, their is a "crunch" option. I'm in love with it. When set properly, it can create amazing classic rock tone solos and riffs. The EQ on this channel seemed easier to change. I could here the difference by lightly turning the knobs up or down, unlike the lead channel. -The Reverb The Reverb really isn't anything special. It sounds good for what type of reverb it is, but I honestly don't fancy it. I'd much rather prefer a reverb pedal, used in the FX loop option. -Construction/Durability Like I said before, this thing is heavy. The knobs seem durable, and feel awesome. You get that slight resistance when turning the knob, which feels really good. The front and back plates of the head are completely metal. The logo however is a cheap plastic that is held to the metal faceplate by glue, and a sliding nut. Still looks good though ;) I've had it for a week now, and haven't experienced any problems thus far. I hear Bugera has come a long way in durability over the years. I am very satisfied with my purchase overall. If you're on a tight budget and want an amazing sound tube amplifier for metal or rock, you can't go wrong here. Especially with the sweetwater warranty.
