I have used this Bugera V22 I bought last year. It has a fantastic sound for blues and classic rock. You can get everything from Chuck Berry, Big Brother and Holding Company, and Jimi Hendrix. a little adjustment and those growling blues will happen. Tis amp takes pedals well if you like that techno rock sound. For now the tubes sound good and speaker very good as it is. At this price it would be very hard to find a amp of this quality in a genuine tube amp. The amp is beautiful in the vintage look. I plan on using this amp for many years to come and it is built to hold up for many years. Give it a try, you will be surprised.

I have had the Bugera V22 for about two months now, and I LOVE THIS LITTLE AMP!!! It is amazing how lovely the tones are on both channels - I use the clean for rhythm and the overdrive for lead. I don't even use any of my pedals anymore, since it sounds better without them. The Pentode/Triode switch is useful, particularly for being able to crank up the pre-amp in lower volume settings. I play with at a medium sized bar three nights per week, and I have more than enough volume to play over a drummer - even when the place is cranking and we are really playing loud. Yes, I am up near the top of the volume range at that point, but that's OK because the clear channel still sounds good, and I don't need to get any louder. It is interesting playing through a smaller amp that I can actually turn up above five, as my other amps (a MusicMan HD 130, a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and a Ceriatone Dumble clone) are all WAY too loud when I turn the volume much above three or four. It is also a really good looking amp - the two-tone tolex and gold piping look GREAT, and everyone thinks that it is some kind of expensive botique amp. I have had LOTS of compliments on the tone from other musicians. This is one of the best purchases I have made in living memory, and I would definitely replace it with the same amp if it were lost or stolen. I haven't had any problems with the original tubes, and the original speaker sounds great. However, there is a video on Youtube of a speaker upgrade that sounds awesome, so I am thinking that maybe in the future I will consider it. I have yet to find anything close to this amp for the price, or for even a lot more. I have not had to deal with the manufacturer, so I have no idea about the support they provide. I have had other Behringer products in the past (mixing board, PA amp) and they all worked fine.

I have been on a hunt for a little combo to take to practice that was loud, and needed no pedals, and quite frankly cheap(ish). After selling my Hot Rod DeVille (too loud and HORRIBLE crunch) I decided on this one. Straight out of the box this amp is impressive. The cleans are grand, with TONS of headroom for 22 watt amp... the lead channel does everything from slight blues grit to hair metal tones, and does them very well... I am very very surprised, even after reading all the good comments. Throw in an effects loop, included footswitch, pentode/triode switch, all for 379, you cannot beat it. I can take this little guy to practice with NO pedals and get it all done, which is what I wanted. I have two Egnaters I use for gigging, and I honestly dont think they sound any better than this Bugera. We'll see if they have the QC issues from the first years fixed, but it seems solid. Great Buy.

This little amp has got some serious mojo going on. I still can't believe such an amp is possible for the price. My ears are so pleased. But be warned this is NOT a metal players amp. Look elsewhere metalheads. But what this does do it does so well. The clean is so good. The overdrive will do anything from blues to classic rock. And it does it very very well.

I play in a band named 116 South. we do allman brothers stevie ray pink floyd cream skynard among so many other great bands from the 60s and 70s. this little amp gave me the best sound i have ever experienced. Right from the box , with no effects, except the pedal that it came with , you get that classic tube sound from back in the day. i am excited about the future with the BUGERA V22. it made the whole band sound thicker and fuller especially thru humbuckers. i would strongly recommend this amp to anyone from beginner to an old pro. rugged construction amp a great look

Had it a month now, sounds great. You get Fender Chime, Marshal growl, Vox tones. Great cleans,takes pedals well. Jams well at low volumes but can blow the windows out if you like. Especially in triode mode. Loud enough to play w/band in maybe a 150-300 seat venue. And it's pretty light for an all tube amp. Oh it looks really cool to. And if you've heard the blue led on the footswitch is insanely bright it IS! but all you gotta do is put some scotch tape over it to dim it. There you have it get one before the price goes up ! I love mine. I like it better than my Fender deluxe reverb. Mainly because it's $900 cheaper and I don't have to torture the neighbors to get a decent tone. lol

I would replace it with the same amp. Low watts easy to get a great tone with les paul or strat. Loud enough to gig with.

I have owned this amp previously and thought it was a great amp then! but, because of G.A.S. I sold it to try something else. I have had Fenders, Vox, Egnater,, Laney, Ibanez TC s, and many other brands of tube amps. My personal favorite has to be the Bugera V22! Now that I have this amp again, it will stay with me until it is willed to my grand daughter.

First of all, I don't consider myself a sound expert, and I'm a novice guitarist. However, I have three tube amps, all of which I love, and this V22 that I bought used is incredibly impressive. All of the amps I have have stock speakers and this by far has the best tone. Its also the most versatile and plenty loud. It takes my Keeley Fuzzhead pedal to a place none of my other amps will go. If you are looking for a practice amp, do yourself a favor and spend a couple hundred more on this. Or if you are looking for a portable, versatile gig worthy amp, check this out. I can't imagine a better amp investment.

After reading all the negative reviews and trashing of this amp by the Fender and Marshall snobs I decided for the money I went ahead and bought this amp, and happily am glad I did. I've been playing for more years than I care to share lol, but suffice it to say I've played my fair share of tube and modeled amps. This amp sounds awesome on its own on both the clean and dirty channels as well with the few pedals I use as a blues guitarist (Boss BD-2/Truetone H2O chorus/delay and a wah pedal). So to anyone looking for a well built great sounding tube amp go ahead and check this one out you'll be glad you did.

This amp is no frills. It only does two things good.It sounds great! It sounds great when I plugged it in direct to my axe.And it sounded great when I ran my multi effects through it! I will never go back to a solid state amp again! I`ve gone tube baby!

This amp is great. Had an AC15C1, sold it (needed money), got a Bugera V5. Awesome little amp. Liked it so much I decided on the V22. Very very good cleans. So warm, and I haven't even changed the tubes yet. Heard and read mixed reviews about the Bugera line but it seems all problems have been fixed. I haven't had one issue with either bugera. Can't be beat for the price!!

I ordered this amp and had high expectations after reading the reviews posted. The first one arrived and everything on it would light up when powered up but it had no sound whatsoever. Sent it back and had another one sent out. That one sounded great! After two weeks it did the same thing-no sound. Two strikes and that's' if for me-junk!
