He literally looks and sounds like Marty McFly. I bet he drives a Delorean.
Surprisingly enough, this is one of the better reviews I have seen from Paul.
I agree. I have a GMX-212 equipped with 2X60 watt Bugera speakers. If you crank all the knobs to the top while you're playing and kill the speakers, that's not a reliability issue, it's a user issue. I've had mine for two years and it sounds just fine.
Diode Clipping is a distortion achieved not by the saturation of the power valves, but in the pre-amp stage adding a circuit similar to a stomp box. So the distortion of the signal is achieved by a diode or a transistor saturation like in solid state amps. This system was first increased on Marshalls JCM 900. So the sound is a mix of tube and diode saturation. No big deal, is a matter of taste, since almost all the rock guitar players do this when they use a overdrive for boost.
Great point there - It's beter to make reviews of amps with mid price range guitars, because it's not like everyone can afford a 3000$ gibson... And that way you can show really what the amp is made of...
@ultimateinfinite, No, its was Randall Smith, owner/founder of Mesa/Boogie hotrodding Fender amps. He use to use the Princeton output transformers and the 59 Bassman circuits as the base for the early Mesa's. His first amp not built on a Fender circuit or with a Princeton output transformer, was the one that Carlos Santana played, the very first Mark I and thats when Santana said, man this thing really "boogies". Hence the name Mesa/Boogie.
Wow that amp's lead tone came to life with the delay at the end.
Awesome sounding amp
I just recently bought this amp and I was astonished at how much gain it had. Then I realized I was only plugged into the low gain input. This thing has more juice than Tropicana. It kind of has a wishy-washy tone to it though, but for the price I was happy.
@wowspare It's been said time and time again, but yes, it's based on the Peavey 6505 and the 6262+ is based on the 6505+.
The "fizz" issue is largely one of the bias. Like the 5150 and 5150 II, the Bugera 6260 and 6262 are biased cold with 6L6 tubes for long tube life. You can adjust the bias hotter to eliminate the crossover distortion problems and fizziness that sometimes happen if the tubes get old or are biased too cold. Check Eurotubes for advice on this with Bugera amplifiers.
When asking the Chinese to build something for mass production they ask you if you want 1) high quality 2) medium quality or 3) low quality. In other words they are capable of building to a higher quality, depending on how the order is set up. And they prefer building to a higher quality. The Bugera has been an amp that has crapped out for some folks. . however, Behinger, the parent company does stand by their warranty and will replace something very quickly if you have a problem.
Always nice to get a demonstration with a guitar that's slightly out of tune.
Separating out the clean/crunch channel pre-amplification means that the 6262 lead channel has less gain than the 6260, but more headroom, with better articulation. Give a listen to the several 6262 clips mtuck5150 has done, or the comparison between the 6262 and 333XL dingle1 did. 6262 has a nice dark, metal distortion, especially if you don't abuse the presence setting. I like doom metal sounds so to me, that's cool.
I've had a Bugera 6262 for six months now. Never a problem. That's why the trolls piss me off. They are lying and I know it, but there are people out there who might be mislead.
this is the best review for this amp ive seen so far
i watched a good review on youtube about a guy who had sold his 6505+ for reasons, but then realised he didnt need to sell it, but instead of buying a new one, he bought this and says its 100 times better
6262 has EQ for both channels. On the 6260 the 2 channels share an EQ.
the 333 has 3 challens and the 6262 only has 2. and the 333 has a presence knob and a noise gate as well.
Please explain why this guy is a tool. Paul from Guitar World is becoming a legend on UA-cam in my opinion. His reviews are always informative and fun to watch, and he's a damn good player. Maybe you'd prefer a spotty teenage emo reviewer who thinks everything is rubbish.
I love it..."we can watch this channel grow some fur" Best description I've heard.
Bugera's kick ass especially the 333XL. Not to mention, this dude can jam.
depends what kind of distortion you like.
Peavey's are mainly used by metal players.
also, the 6262 has independant presence controls for each channel
amazing sounding amp at any price.. I bet if this was on sale for $2000 dollars people would say its amazing , Coz its £350 people say its crap ...Close your eyes people and let your ears decide
@dadudeguy2 this is very true, not to mention the modulatyion amps like the Peavey Vypers and Line 6 Spiders....i mean, you get down to it, every amp company as well as guitar companies will copy another sooner or later.. cheers
I wish they would use the same guitar for all their amp reviews. It is hard to tell what is the best since all guitars sound different.
@Julesw01 Dude, you can make almost ANY amp make whatever sound you want. This thing has a clean channel... with a little overdrive (such as an ibanez ts808) you could get a great blues/jazz tone even. Then dial back the gain on the amp'z distortion itself, keep your overdrive on maybe, and you'll have your leads. Any amp is as versatile as you make it.
I'm not sure I consider the 6262 and upgrade over the 6260, so much as a difference. The 6260 has clean, crunch and lead modes also, with independent reverb and master volume, the major difference is that the 6262 adds an additional pre-amp tube in order to separate out the pre-amplification on the clean channel and has independent eq for the clean/crunch and lead channels. The difference is intended to track the difference between the 5150 and the 5150 II. Better clean on the 6262?
I've been playing since I was a teen and I am 34 now. I played a 333XL half recently and it was 'alright' at best. Then I saw why. Made in China on the back of the head. This demo sounded better than the 333, but if it's also Chinese I have my doubts it will last any amount of time. When they say these amps are cheap...they ain't kiddin'. Nice try Bugera.
some of the circuitry is mounted too closely to some other things inside, which could cause interactions between components which = circuitry failure
the new bugeras dont shit out as much as the older ones do
The combo is the same as the head.. it just has speakers in it.. you could run the combo through a cab and it would be the same as a head (a big head but still a head)
Did you notice what guitar Paul is playing?
It's an Epiphone LP Custom. Pickups are just average. It's about time someone demo'd without EMG's, or playing a real LP or EVH Ernie Ball. My crazy ass point is, this amp makes average sounding guitars sound HUGE! Thanks Paul for reprosentinting with a guitar that the masses own.
@TheGnarchitect i agree...u want more amp u can also get the 6262 Bugera..which is more heavier toned for also a nice price...im looki into the 1990 (Marshall JCM 900 copy) for my needs of playing...nice amps
Granted you can't get the Peavey 6505/6505+ for under $400 like with this 6202, but you can find used 5150's for under $800 and even $700 if you look at Guitar Center and other music stores with used gear. So, the 6202 is the next best if you really want one of the Peavey's and cannot afford it.
Lol that's the best analogy for drink and amplification ever.
@MattiGardners, it depends if you switch from clean channel to distortion alot. I mean if you play alot of songs that have a very diverse sound in the clean channel compared to the distortion, or you want sumfin like that, then you prob want another EQ. I like having a jangly clean tone with alot of bass. When I want distortion, I want ALOT of mids less bass than a clean channel and more treble. My amp shares an EQ, I need to set it in the middle of my desired tone for distortion n clean.
I'm surprised it didn't blow up during the demo.
that metal riff he played was blummin amazin!
any head i have ever ran thru my Bugera cab (JCM 800's, Trip Rec, ENGL Ritchie Blackmore) sounded great through this cab. i would personally prefer a VHT cab, but for the price, the Bugera cab is a great competitor. maybe you should check out some of my Bugera rid demos...
These amps sound great! I am so ready to get one of these. I'm just concerned with the reliability of them. Anyone out there own one and have any comments on these amps?
@ExplodeEd 6262 has seperate eq for lead and clean. clean channel has a crunch switch. thats really the only difference. no difference in sound or tone just extra features
well it gives you more option but what i find happens with seperate eq, when the eq on the clean is alot differant than the distortions eq it has no resemblance and sounds realy off. if your finacy about that sort of thing get the higher model, but with an extra 100 bux u can get a noise gate if you dont have one.
@Namnrax I agree, and can't wait to get a 333XL. I go back and forth between Bugera videos and A/B them immediately with videos of Mesa, Engl, Marshall, etc amps with similar riffs, & here similar tones. If I didn't know better, I would say that in many cases, the Bugeras sound better and MORE EXPENSIVE. Every brand of amp has a few bad apples. I have a friend who blew up two Marshall heads because he played them loud often. He didn't complain on YT about it, but will never buy another Marshall.
im gonna buy one of these and i had this same dilema, but in the end i thought about it and really, i want this amp for the lead channel for playing 80's rock stuff, so the clean channel sort of takes a back seat there, but it really depends what you want this amp for
its based off the 5150 2 which was the evh sing amp from peavey which was based of the saldno's and which is based of the marshall plexi
I know this amp is modeled after a peavey 6505, but it sounds more like the peavey valve king.
I'm impressed! This is the first Paul review that I acctually liked! haha The guy has learned some tricks. Too bad the Krank reviews from him sucked.
yes they are but bugera also makes one that sound like marshalls, fenders etc.
Awesome lead channel!
Marty McFly does the best guitar gear reviews.
MrTooter007 Yep! Since 1955 !
@leddeath80 , well, you should also state how much are you willing to pay, cause there are some half stacks for around 700ish, but if you want to buy something from the mid/upper tier, like Mesa, vox, soldano, etc, be ready to shell out about 2000 for the head, and another 1000 for the cab.
no..i'm such a noob at knowing things like that :/ (congratulations on being the first person on youtube to take a joke!) i applaud bigdavid351.
Well first off, these tube heads are LOUD and aren't really good for bedroom playing if you know what i mean. So really you should only use these for band practices etc.
But the main difference is the 6260 has two channels, but the two channels share a 3-band eq. On the 6262 the channels have their own respective EQ's.
@MetalcorezZ94 oh hell ya this thing and the 333xl are great for alot of kinds of metal
his tone is amazing!
Hey Paul...the guy that works for Bugera calls it "BuGera, with a G, not "BuSZSera" with a Z. Thought you might want to know.
anyway u put it you cant deny this amp sounds great.
He is David Spade? YES!
VERY NICE!
The cruch sounds better than the lead. Why not make this a 3 channel amp?
the controls on it remind me a lot of the peavey 6505 plus 112 combo style
dude paul is cool. most of the gear reviews i see are from him. lol. guitarworld is awesome. andy aledort is my guy too, he teaches me how to jam.
no, no, not 'just' the headstock but their overall look. most epis look like they've been laminated like a piece of paper especially compared to their gibson versions. sure this is due to the polyurethane, i understand, BUT the gibsons to me i notice have this more defined, edgier, 'adult' look to them unlike the epis and most gibsons come with nickel hardware rather than the chrome which come with most epis
@fartnuggg Duh, Chinese eat rice, rice is in Rice Krispies, hence: This amp is full of snap, crackle and pop.
@Julesw01 this amp is great for almost anything. I don't know about clean but any type of rock works great with it. The clean is very good as well but im sure if all your playing is clean there's better amps out there
Nice sounding! Looking for a new amp and I'm thinking of this
i'm looking at this to leave at a practice space... someting i won't have to baby or worry about if it gets stolen or what ever... i'd get worried about leaving a $2,000 head and cab someplace where i don't live
omg this dude is an improv god ive yet to hear a bad riff
@drugdrunkker definatlely the bugera 6260, it is tube driven and will give the great sound of the peavey 6505+ or 5150. The spider iv wont sound anywhere near as good (very muddy and unlcear) i have one, im looking to sell it. The down side on the bugera is that no in built effects are on board as there are in the line 6, but you can always add pedal on the fx loop for the bugera. I payed $630 bucks for my line 6 in Australia and i could get a bugera online cheaper. Go for the bugera.
You're right about everything. Except the quality part. I guess you've never seen this amps guts.
well I tested some mesas and I think it is very similar for the money but of course mesa has patented their tones so you'll never find the same tone but you can get close. Now my dream amp is definitely that new mesa mark V.
@megaluisdeth yea but id get a nice od pedal to put in front of it so you can use the clean/crunch channel for rhythm and the lead channel for solos and whatnot. the crunch channel on this amp really cant get past ac/dc type tones. the lead channel is pretty bad sounding for rhythm imo. also dont get the matching cabinet because it is very cheap and very bad sounding. it makes the amp sound like a spider II if you play anything but clean
@gtjumper I'm guessing you have never played either of those amps. I have the 6262 and its sounds just as good as any peavy. The clean channel is punchy clear and sweet- most underrated thing about this amp. I could dial up a fat SRV in seconds. This amp is more of a soldano clone than anything . It looks kinda like a peavey but is a very versatile amp. The gain channel trumps my 1000$+ Marshall DSL. Its heavier than the DSL even when I have a tube screamer in front of the marshall.
@dadudeguy2 Same with guitars almost every guitar company produces an Ibanez RG, or a Strat, or LP
is it just me or does he always suggest using the matching cabinet for any head he reviews?
nice sounding head though.
You can hear it breaking when he switches the clean channel to a crunch channel at 1:45 lol.
I agree man he is very adept at his craft.
@dadudeguy2 Too right. Wasn't Marshall actually buying Bassmans and hotrodding them?
@17solstice Thank you :)
Which is why it's kind of hard to believe that this is product worth buying.
@anahaevia666 actually its a 6505 copy(ish) but its actually not that shitty. (although i like the bugera 6262 better, im pretty sure thats a 6534 copy)
Cool. I'm not a big fan of behringer, but to each its own.
i swear, there is always reverb or something in guitarworld videos, they need to do this in a smaller room or fix the mic or something
Yeah, they still break when you give them a dirty look. They're cheap and they sound decent, but I'll be impressed if it can make it through shipping without bursting into flame or something.
that's what i mean, go with ss, at least that way your amp won't break, i just think if you're going to buy a tube amp you should buy a good brand, otherwise it's just a poor investment
Either the 6262 or the v55.
@ 6:32 and on....... my jaw hit the floor.... paul is fucking amazing!!!
bcuz of the larger logo, i think it's an epihone les paul custom.the Al-2000 is kinda on the same qality level, but IMO the al 2500 and 3000 are much better than this one
The Bugera 6262 has the best bottom end imho. I cant wait until i get that amp. But can anyone suggest some pretty good cabs that are affordable (around $350 US dollars)? I would really appreciate it :)
The shit he started playing at 5:17 was fukn awesome.
its not great but for like 250 dollars its not bad but id buy like a Randall amp cab for like 400 with good speaker's or a used marshall cab for around the same or lower with something like vintage 30's witch i love...so yea
man that sounds really good
You know that the guy in the vid works for guitar world and didn't post this right?
mhhh not convinced ... sticking to my brunetti ^^
but anyway, for that price, i guess it's pretty good, it sounds better than a transistor amp ...
@Guitarman55555: They aren't bad at all, take it from a guy who owns a slew of tube amps, many of very reputable names. I bought a 333XL for poops and laughs and honestly find myself playing it more than any other rig. ToneKing can't play worth snot, though, I agree with you there. He'd do the products more justice to allow someone else to play guitar on them
But people won't know. He's trying to sell this amp too.
Why aren't they doing a review on the peavey valveking!?
Great and affordable too!
@GregHM81
they sound very close yes
awesomme but whats the main difference between this and the 6262?
