BUGERA V22
Boutique-Style 22-Watt Vintage 2-Channel
Valve Combo with Reverb
Features
The V22 is built for power pentode tubes,
but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for a
singular pentode personality. This amp includes
a Mode switch, allowing you to operate
the power section as if it had triode tubes
(at roughly 40 percent less power). So what’ll it
be today— old-school or oldest-school?
Voracious Vintage
The sound of the V22 begins with a
two-channel (Clean and Lead) preamp. Plug
into either the Bright or Normal inputs, then
adjust the three-band EQ (Bass, Mid, Treble)
and Presence control to create a sound all your
own. Its three 12AX7 preamp tubes provide a
vast feast of fuzz. Take your tone anywhere from
dignified blues to garage-leveling madness.
The dual EL84 valves in the power stage
propel its terse cockney tone through a

speaker. If you need to feed more
speakers, the V22’s Impedence switch makes
it compatible with 4, 8 or 16 Ohms, making it
compatible with just about any speaker cabinet
you can find.
You also get reverb, but for utmost
durability and sound, this classic effect is
derived from a professional quality digital
processor. The spring reverb found in antique
amps sound great, but they’re delicate and
expensive to repair. This modern touch
gives you a vintage-sounding reverb sound
that’s every bit as beautiful, but a million
times less breakable.
And if all these features
weren’t enough…
You also get an incredibly durable
footswitch allowing you to select channels and
engage the reverb without stopping mid-show.
Whether you’re making a record, practicing,
or paying your dues on the dive bar circuit,
the V22 can complement your craft with the
gold-standard tones of the past—today!
