NAD!! Bugera V22HD INFINIUM

[autologic]

I'm kinda wishing I had spent another $40 and gotten the 2x12 cab. Sounds AMAZING. I wish I had gotten to spend more than 30 minutes with it before I had to go to work. I will do a full video review as soon as I get the time.
This is my very first tube amp, now I see what all the fuss is about.

Does anyone know if the "Turbosound 12" Full Range Driver" in the cab is the same one that comes with the combo? I was going to get the 2x12 speaker cab, but I've heard that too low of a wattage can damage higher wattage speakers.

Not so, the speaker cab wattage should be at least 1.5X the amp's wattage. Nothing wrong with much more. I've driven 100 watt cabs w/ 15 and 20 watt amps with great success. You just won't get speaker breakup which I don't care for anyway.

Awesome. Yeah, I'm not big on speaker breakup either... If I had an extra cab, it would be a no brainer to send this one back.

I dig the look/wood of your axe.!
Bugera sure does make a handsome looking amp.
You know what.....for now, I would just play the heck out of what you have,
Your local Craigslist and Guitar Center, will have a Bunch Of Quality used cabs for sale.
Keep your eyes open for a used 2x12 or even another 1x. They will, more than likely, come with a "better" speaker(s) than what you would have gotten in the Bugera Cab anyway.
good luck my friend

Re: NAD!! Bugera V22HD INFINIUM

Thank you! It is an Epiphone G-400 in Worn Brown. This being my first tube amp, I think its so great that it sounds better and better every time I play it, as the speaker and tubes wear in. I've heard its well worth the money to upgrade the tubes in this amp, is that usual par for the course? Any suggestions for tubes that won't break the bank? I will probably just upgrade the preamp tubes for now.

Re: NAD!! Bugera V22HD INFINIUM

Beautiful setup. I bet it sounds sweet. I would suggest looking into boost pedals, kicking those tubes is half the fun.

Re: NAD!! Bugera V22HD INFINIUM

I have a Bad Monkey, but ever since I got this amp, I haven't been able to find it. I guess I'm going to look around for it this morning and see how that goes. Thanks!

Edit: By the way, this may be a dumb question but if I'm using it as a boost, it should be hitting the front end right? Not through the effects loop?
