Hi, I have bought a PS1 Powersoak. It's all good but if I run my Vox NT50 flat out into it with a 2x12 cab attached, even with the powersoak set to the lowest volume, it's still too load to play in my flat late at night.
So, is it safe to use it without the speaker attached and the soak volume set to a little more than the lowest, then I can use the line out into a mixer & use headphones. I say, little more than lowest becuase the line out is wierdly controlled by the large soak volume wheel, so when that's set to lowest, virtually nothing comes through the line out apart from hiss & hum.
The manual is quite ambiguous on this.
It would be good to get explicit technical support from Bugera on this question. I see this question on many external boards. This is clearly a use case that many customers would like to use (I am one of them). Please provide clear guidance on if / how the PS1 can be used for silent recording without a speaker cabinet connected. Thank you.
Hate to necro this thread, but I would like to know if anyone has a concrete answer on this topic...
Thanks!
Can G5 head be used without speaker cabinet plugged in at all?
Can I put it on my desk, connect emulated output to my interface and use it safely? Without damaging the power amp? Is the only condition to leave "standby" lever switched off?
Same, can I unplug cabinet, switch off "standby" and connect effects loop "send" to my interface and use my own cab sims?
In owner manual there is information about "silent operation" with headphones, but it is not said if I can safely unplug speaker cabinet.
Hello I recently purchased a Bugera V5 amp which sounds great but I didn't realize until later that you also offer the T5 which is just the head and not the combo like the V5. My question is are the V5 and the T5 tonally the same amp? Is the T5 essentially voiced the same as the V5 with more eq options just minus the speaker? Are they voiced differently?
Also the speaker output says 4ohm minimum so I am assuming that 2 12" speakers wired in parallel will be fine for either the V5 or T5?
thank you
Hi folks in this community, and hi to the forum admins!
I'd like to know the power in watts of the Bugera BXD15A. I'm looking for a specification of the power after RMS signal measuring, and not the peak power. The peak power is declared to be 1000 watt.
Furthermore, can somebody provide me with infos about the acoustic pressure (Kennschalldruck)?
Thanks in advance,
crystal
Hi Christian @crystal
Welcome to the forum. Is there a particular need for these specs? If you are looking for a guitar amp that will blow dry the audience, please reconsider your needs. Far too often, I have to ask new guitarists to turn their amps down (or else) during soundcheck. Usually their response is that they have to have it loud enough in order to get the tone they are looking for. But many of the pros are now using amps with mcuh lower peak wattage, but with amazing quality (and the audience and sound engineer is much happier with).
Hi Paul,
thank you for your helpful answer. Of course you're right reflecting these concerns. I guess that I'm rather careful with such matters, but sometimes my band collegues complain about my bass being not loud enough.
It's true, I want to compare bass combos with each another. My reason is to know not only the quality, which is surely excellent with the Bugeras. But to be able to compare the possible power and loudness when playing along with my collegues. We are definitely not up to fill great music halls, but pubs or open-air stages with perhaps about 50 people of audience.
I should be happy with good quality and sound, but beeing able to regulate down the master control, cool as a cucumber.
Hi Christian @crystal
With the bass, the reason why your collegues may be complaining that they can't hear your bass is due to their proximity to the amp and the wavelength of the bass notes you play. For example low E is 41Hz which has a wavelength of 27.4 feet. If they are standing/sitting any closer than that, the sound level will likely be less and they could actually be located in a dead spot (due to reflection from a small room). Quite frequently the bass player is standing 5 feet in front of his amp (which is pointed at his knee caps) and typically turns it up, because he says he can't hear - which in turn is far too loud at the audience position. No level of power can fix this. Sorry.
This is very helpful advice to me, thank you. I feel that your thoughts must be true, for I hear such seemingly irregular sounds and loudnesses when we practice in our studio.

You are most welcome. If I find one of the posts that explained it to me enough to understand the scenario I will post it here for you. It has been awhile since I last read them. So it may take awhile to find them.
If you have one of those wireless guitar adapters, walk away from the amp about 30 feet and have a listen.
Hello, I purchased a Bugera 6262 Infinium guitar amp head from Adorama Camera. It was shipped to me and arrived when they said it would. Upon plugging everything in the first time I found the lead channel to be very faint and almost completely inaudible. The clean/crunch channels work great but I am not paying for an amp that only halfway works.
Now, that being said: I contacted the dealer and was told to get in contact with Bugera as Bugera would send me a retube set. I called the support number and got an automated voice directing me here, which is completely ridiculous. Human interaction is needed for some cases, even in today's tech savvy society.
I have an email out to support and figured I'd post here, any help is greatly appreciated!
Is infinium 5 watts amps no longer made? Is Bugera phasing out the 5 watt guitar amp head?
Hi All
My amps ( Bugera 333XL ) have seriously noise when rotate on knobs Master and Treble and sometimes they are not working I think they should replace the new one. Master : 250K Treble : 50K but the pots are not like standard alpha 9 mm or the other amps use. The shaft of Bugera pot is too long.
I bought the foot switch specified on the back of the amp and the connector is different.
The amp has a big connector and the foot switch has a small connector.
The part number is the exact part number called for.
So is there a replacement connector that I can wire in ? Or and adapter ?
I've emailed they responded to my email and they give me the sum number and tell me the call me back within 1 business day and I have not had one any calls I need the same fixed it's four months old it's something to do with the effects loop. Can somebody please help me out
Hi Joel ( @jspooner ),
Unforunately that one busniess day has been more like a week (or more) these days. You can always go to the CARE portal or reply to the email they sent you asking for an update.
Hope this helps,
Ken
How do I get to care portal?
That's does not work. It says can't connect to server.
I own a Bugera T5 Infinium amp and I use my amp several times a week. Yesterday I powered up and after about 30 seconds the jewel light began flashing and the the tube monitor light on the back lit. I have two power and two preamp tubes so I swapped out preamp tube 1 with preamp tube 2, no change. I then swapped out power tube 1 with power tube 2, no change. I then swapped out preamp tube 2 with preamp tube 1, still no change. This seems to confirm the issue is not the tubes. If I set the output to 5 watt, turn volume and gain to 10 and engage the phat button I can hear the amp is sending a signal to the speaker cabinet, and it sounds fairly normal, just at a vey much reduced output level. This is true for both speaker cabinet and headphones out. Any advise, tricks, reset options, ... is greatly appreciated!
