V5
The timeless design and sound of the all-tube amplifier has made its indelible mark on countless beloved tracks spanning the history of the electric guitar. With the ultimate pursuit of those wonderfully saturated and buttery vintage tones in mind, we proudly present the VINTAGE V5 combo.
Sporting a gorgeous look and feel, the V5 serves up 5 beautiful, tube-soaked, Class-A Watts in all your favorite flavors through an amazing, class-leading BUGERA 8" speaker. Additionally, the V5 features an integrated high-definition Reverb; a built-in 2-way Power Attenuator, so you can achieve the ultimate sound at any volume – and an extremely versatile vintage equalizer with Tone control for sculpting the sound of your dreams.
Classic All-Tube Design
The VINTAGE V5 features true Class-A technology with a 12AX7 front-end and an EL84 power stage. A masterful, hand-crafted all-tube combo amplifier, the V5 provides sweetly-balanced harmonics and natural tube compression, resulting in the warm distortion and break-up you’ve come to love from those vintage megaliths of yesteryear – only in a much more portable and attractive package. The hand-selected 12AX7 preamp tube in V5’s classic ‘60s-era preamp provides everything from sweetly-purring blues to mind-blowing crunch. Often employed in British-style amplifiers, the EL84 output tube is known for its crisp and chiming tonal quality, when pushed to the max, and the V5 harnesses that power via the built-in power attenuator – for the ultimate guitar tone at any volume level.
High-Definition Reverb
Adding to its impressive list of tone-shaping options, the VINTAGE V5’s high-definition Reverb puts the perfect finishing touch to your signature sound. Adjustable via the dedicated control on the front panel, you can finally achieve any sound you desire – from a subtle touch to the cavernous, natural-sounding reverberation of a large arena.
Custom-Engineered Transducers
We never cut corners on our guitar speakers, and we never just pull what we have off the shelf. Our speakers are designed specifically for each application – it’s what sets us apart from the competition. When you buy a BUGERA speaker (combo or cabinet), you can rest assured that the speakers inside have been engineered to perform flawlessly in conjunction with every other element for truly professional results.
Power Attenuator and Speaker Emulation - Your Best Tone at Any Volume
The convenient, built-in Power Attenuator allows you to operate the V5 at your choice of 5 Watts, 1 Watt, or even 0.1 of a Watt, so you can get everything from sweet and sassy to maximum tube saturation at any volume level. This amazing feature alone makes the V5 worth its weight in gold!
