Tons of features - Sound on a budget
This little amp surprise me:
- It's Budget friendly
- It's well build. Most than expected. Specially at this price
- It's has two separate channels
- The include footswitch is very well made
- It has an FX Loop
- It's use 8 Ohms cab
- It's an real valve amp
- It has an inbuilt power soak
- It has an line in jack
- It's lightweight
- The only option witch is not include is the dust cover Bugera G5-PC (item number 384410) but it's cheap too
For the sound:
- The clean tone are pretty basic. It's not bad but I actually prefer Fender sound. Just personal preference
- The overdrice chanel is good.
In conclusion:
- It's actually a good surprise for an valve amp on a budget
- The sound of cannot reach the famous brand valve amp... but those one are way more expensive.
- I suppose it's where the miracle of having tons of features on a budget ends
- If you are looking for a practice / rehearsal valve amp, this could definitivly be the one

Useful but limited
I have one of these for home use and can't particularly fault it. It serves a purpose and is good for the price.
It definitely isn't the best sounding amp I've heard on it's own but takes pedals well and allows for quiet play.
You can take a DI out off the emulated cab on the back too for recording, which works in standby so you can do a little post-processing in your DAW to tidy it and play it over your monitors instead.
I would recommend doubling your budget and getting something better again but if you need a quick amp for home play and have a spare 8 ohm cab, this is fine.

Tube amp for the price of a pedal.
First time Bugera buyer. Didn't expect much of it, bought it with a voucher I still had laying around.
This lunchbox amp sounds better than a lot of transistor/modeling amps even in much higher price ranges IF you connect it with a descent pair of 12" speakers (V30, G12T75, greenbacks,.. ). At the American side of the morph knob, it almost sounded as if playing through a (small) 6505.
Cons: Not enough treble/presence to play more extreme forms of metal. Treble pot is really affects only the high mid frequencies and therefor it lacks presence, even with e.g. a TS9 in front of it.
Pro's: Features: a lot! For this price, to practice, or make some killer tones in your home recording studio, go for it.

Very good budjet tube amp.
This amp is great starter/bedroom practice amp for cheap price. The amp has a great sound for this price point and really exceeded my expectations.
Pros:
- Great sound for the price
- Compact
- Fx loop and EQ
Cons:
- Doesn't sound the best using high volume, but it is to be expected for this price point and size.
- Whilst having alot of customization (EQ etc.) it feels like it lacks a bit.
Honestly It's definetly worth for bedroom/practice use. The sounds are good enough that I don't need to upgrade in a long while.

Great amp for the price
Cheap, looks and sounds good. Perfect for bedroom/practice use or recording. Seems pretty well built and solid so far. Has good controls and gain, and sounds good at default (12'o clock) settings. The cabinet simulated output also sounds good for recording/ headphone practice.

Good practice valve amp
Relatively limited, in sound shaping. Works extremely well with acoustic and semi acoustic guitars. Lack of finesse in the overall sound.

decent amp
Positive
price,headphone/speaker sim,morph control ,loop,wide range of driven sounds,metal switches and solid jacks and caseing
Negative
Reverb sounds fake,plastic knobs,limited control for the clean channel,dull sounding tubes which i changed and it made the amp "come alive "more,it may have built in tube biasing which is cool but that wont tell you how it sounds.
generaly a great deal,not really for the clean sound purist ,more a bedroom rocker that can get loud enough to annoy the folks next door or quiet enough without sounding thin.
