        Ws6air Any ideas on why this thing is only pushing 42 watts ? EL34s tested fine also and amp seems plenty loud but when testing it , it only registered 42 watts max . Anything to do with the auto bias or any recalls on transformers?

      ChrisEdwards1 Hi Justin, if the front panel light is flashing regularly this indicates the amp cannot work due to too many issues. If after changing your tubes this is the case I would recommend submitting a service request case for further assistance.

      This can be done by going to support at the top of the page, scrolling to service, and filling out the form, alternatively please visit the following link:

    Wattage BXD15A | Bass Amplifiers

    Hello,

    I played my first gig using my brand new BXD15A combo, and it is definitely not 1,000 watts. It's nowhere near 1,000 watts.

    What do I need to do to up my wattage? Do I need to add a cabinet and use the combo as a head? This amp is barley pushing 150 watts and at an outdoor gig, that's not cutting it. 

    Please let me know how I can get the most from this amp.

      PedroRodrigues Hi Martin, please be aware that if you have performed a wattage measurement?
      The watts are equal to amps multiplied by volts.
      If you have performed this calculation and the values are very different form the one announce on the specifications document on the picture below, this may indicate an issue on your unit and it requires to be inspected.
      In that case please follow the link below and submit an assistance request so we can assist you with more tools. https://community.musictribe.com/pages/create-new-ticket?type=service%20request

    I need tech support? | Guitar Amplifiers

    How can I get in touch with somebody?

    My preamp didn't work so I figured it was the tube. How do you see if it's broken?

        JMaxfield77583 or, since this is a forum, you could have answered their question directly. It' snot like troub;eshooting a tube amp is a trade secret. These things have been around for a cover a century...

      JMaxfield77583 Tube Tester... but it would be faster to swap it. If you amp has a reverb circuit, swap the tube for the reverb out with the preamp tube. If the reverb goes wonky but your front end works, then you found the problem. Be aware, if your reverb uses a lower gain tube (12AY7 or 12AU7) it will not make the same amount of gain as before... but it will be markedly better than if you have a blown tube.

      Also... if you tap on the tube when it's warm and it jungles then one of the elements has fried... just replace it with the same tube type.

      It never hurts to have two or three 12AX7s, a 12AUY and 12AY7 on hand... as well as matched pairs of 6L6, 6V6, EL34 & EL84 power tubes on hand. If your amp is tube rectified you can keep rectifier tubes or swap to yellow jacket solid state replacements on hand (or both). Spare parts are basically a must with tube amps... if you're mid-performance and one goes out... you need to be able to fix it.

      Cheers!

      Klauzix I don't know why. This is the weirding thing ever.
      I put the pre-amp back together to do some tests to see if the tube was indeed damages.

      Plot twist. Everything worked. Nothing wrong anymore.

      Now i'm super confused. It didn't work at all before i took it apart. And i didn't do anything but take out and in again the tube...

      Hawke77 May have just been a dirty tube socket.
      • October 28, 2020
    • Klauzix
      Dale_M Hi Klaus its not impossible that the tube was not seated correctly, or possibly had some oxidisation present on the legs which removing and refitting has removed. If it fails again replace with a new one and if still faulty there is possibly a dry solder joint on the socket.

    MY AMP CAME BROKEN FROM BUGERA | Guitar Amplifiers

    I ordered a Bugera T50 Infinium from Musician's Friend. I was stoked to receive my amp however, when I opened the box which was BRAND NEW from BUGERA the amp was busted to all hell. Different knobs where busted off at the base of the pot. The literally powerswitches were busted of causing me to not even be able to turn the amp on. I have to say I am extremely disappointed, frustrated and beyond pissed that Bugera's QC would tank it with an amp this badly. I waited 2 months to get this amp from a backorder and to top it off it was a birthday present. My first interaction with Bugera is not off to a great start.

      KyleJohnson Hi Caleb, Kyle here with Music Tribe. Wow, I can understand your frustration, that is in pretty rough shape. If you just received it from Musicians Friend, I definitely recommend you contact them to process an exchange.

      DavidKnighton Hello Caleb McBride,
      I myself had a similar experience with Musician's Friend back in 2009 when I ordered a Line6 Head and Cabinet. The Head was fine, but the cabinet came with a huge crack down the side. This was most likely due to mishandling in warehousing/shipping. I was frustrated as well, because it took another 4 weeks before I could start playing. I would think something similar happened here, because it looks as though the unit was dropped on it's face. The weight of the internal components can destroy the unit from the inside if dropped from even just a few feet. It is unfortunate, but this is the woe of our shipping industry, and it happens with every product manufacturer. I know it can be frustrating, but please don't lose faith in the brand.

    Bugera G5 Infinium - Can it be used without speaker? | Guitar Amplifiers

    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.

      ChrisEdwards1 Hi Jakub, Yes, it is possible to do this. you can choose between a 1 x 12 or 4 x 12 emulation when being used with headphones, alternatively, you can use this to directly patch to a mixing console/audio interface for live or studio applications and treat it as a DI track to further add effects or amp sims. This output will both work with the amp fully powered or left in standby.

      • Bugera G5 Infinium - Can it be used without speaker?
        dhpasta Ok, thanks for answer. Beside that can I use effects loop send as a DI track without IR when real cabinet is unplugged from the amp?

      • Bugera G5 Infinium - Can it be used without speaker?

        • October 8, 2020
    • dhpasta
      ChrisEdwards1 Hi Jakub, it is best to use the emulated output if you wish to send a DI track to some recording software, and yes the amp can be used via the emulated output without a cabinet connected.

    BXD15A red lights | Bass Amplifiers

    Hello, I have purchased a Bugera 15BXDA bass amp and have some questions about the lights. 

    I use a lot of fuzz and distortion on my bass and the the red clip light keeps flashing. Can that damage my amp and what can I do to remedy that issue?

    Also, the orange light that circles the volume knob turns red. Why does it do that and what can I do to address that issue?

     

    Thank you

    Bugera 6262 Infinium | Guitar Amplifiers

    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 ?
