BugeraVEYRON TUBE BV1001T Ultra-Compact 2,000-Watt Class-D Bass Amplifier with Tube Preamp, Optical Compressor and DYNAMIZER Technology

Awesome Amp. The Tube preamp delivers a nice mellow sound but also a nice overdrive sound when driven hard. I combined it with a BUGERA BT210TS and a BUGERA BT115TS and it is a great combination. It gets LOUD (2000W) but still sounds tight and definitely no weird noises. The Amp is light, compact, beautiful, and I love the orange glow from the 3 tubes visible through the little window in the front. Lots of useful inputs and outputs on the back as well. Only one input on the front (1/4" guitar jack) though.

My GK 1001RB took a dump on me so wanted to try out one of these new low weight amps. I play in a national touring tribute act and need a particular tone for that, then I also play in a couple local cover bands and need a wide variety of tones to cover for those gigs. I also have a Bugera V55 vintage combo guitar amp I love. I worked with the Veyron for about an hour or so and here's my thoughts:Power: The 2,000 watt rating is a bunch of garbage. My GK was 700 watts and was far more loud and powerful. Ran the Bugera through my same cabinet stack of 1x15 and 4x10 at 4ohms load. I had to crank the Veyron up to almost max to equal what my GK was putting out at maybe 1/3 its power. If I had to guess I'd say the Bugera is probably about 450-500 watts at 4 ohms, maybe 250 at 8 ohms load. If thats all you need then great, but dont trust Bugera (Behringer) wattage ratings, theyre straight up lies. For the record, my Bugera V55 vintage combo amp is sick, great tone and great power. Love it. So Im not biased against Bugera in the least.Tone: This is a bit challenging to describe. In a word, its dull. There is only one real tone it can do. Its super heavy on the bass if you want it and super heavy on treble and mids if you want them. But theres this big hole in the frequency range, and it seems thats the hole where you'd want to sit in a band mix. The low bass sub tones will be occupied by the kick drum in the subs at a club and the mids and highs will be competing with guitars, cymbals, vocals. There is no "presence" and punch with the Veyron. If you want just a big fat bass tone then you will have it. At max power the amp was pushing air from my cabinets for sure but that tone is just, well, uneventful is best word I have for it. I felt like I was playing a sub bass tone in a rap or dance track with no articulation.Quality: It was nice ro have a 5lb amp to cart around but everything feels plasticky and the knobs feel like they should be on a Radio Shack CB, not a $500 amp. As a backup or a practice amp or recording amp thats fine but Im an active touring bassist and no way Id trust this as my only amp. If I had unlimited funds maybe Id keep this as a backup on the road since its so light, but definitely not my main amp.Overall I'd say this amp is probably fine for newer players and players that really havent discovered "tone" yet and dont need a ton of power for loud bands (although it can get very loud at max volume but do you really want to run an amp continually at max volumes?). Even with those caveats I think the price point is too high. I get the Bugera line is supposed to be the higher line of Behringer amps and again, I love my Bugera V55 combo, the quality of that amp is top notch, but I dont believe this amp is worth that. Should be more in the $299-349 range in my opinion.Hope this helps anyone researching these low weight/high power amps like Ive been. After trying a few other ones its back to a new GK for me.

I'm a harmonica player who was looking for a more powerful tube amp to replace my existing Peavey Classic 30 watt amp. This is it... It's has a lot of power! I'm running through a 1500 watt 4 ohm cab and I still have a lot of head room. It's light.. and sounds really good! Great built in compressor which allowed me to remove that pedal from my rig. It has 3 x 12AX7 vacuum tubes that don't appear to warm up. After having the power on for 3 days there should be some heat from the tubes but the unit is still cool to the touch. This is a Class D amp so not a lot of power used, so not sure how much juice the tubes are actually getting. This amp may or may not be a true tube amp but it KICKS **S, just not in my opinion a true tube amp in the traditional sense. I have a pedal that gives me that warm tube overdrive I need as a harmonica player and I now have the power I need so I give it 4 stars. If I were to start over I'd purchase the BV1001M with the Mosfet and DYNAMIZER Technology.

The three 12AXT preamp tubes really give it the vintage sound. It has tons of volume. I personally swapped out the 12AX7s for 12AT7s to give the distortion a "softer" sound. The amp "takes tubes well", meaning that each tube swap is very noticable. The original tubes were just fine, I customarily swap tubes in all of my amps, my personal taste. I use this amp for my practice amp as it sounds very tubey and I can play my MP3 player through it. I also intend to get another - as a backup amp for stage. My stage amp is an all-tube Traynor, and this amp sounds good next to it. IMO, there is no amp in this price range that comes close in sound. The vintage sound of this amp is almost as good as that of my Traynor YBA-200 (a $1700 all-tube amp). The power section is Class "D", but sounds good. If this amp had a Big-Tube power amp, it would sound as good as my Traynor, or any other all-tube head. Incredible deal for the money. I suspect that the cost will go up once the product starts to sell.

The low price had me a bit skeptical at first but I took a risk and purchased Nov. 2, 2018. I be played through this lil beast for four months now. I set all EQ flat and run through an Accugroove El Whappo! Wow...is all I can say!!! Produces amazing tone even at high volumes! So far worth every dollar (low price) and more!!! [you can read about the specs above]. Been playing pro for 51 years 😎 and have used every rig you can think of.

Overall very happy with the unit

450 bucks. 2000 watts. Okay let’s start there. 2000 watts into 4ohms. No cabinet is going to handle 2000 watts continuous power. That cabinet doesn’t exist. At 8ohms it’s 1000 watts / probably more like 850.... (that’s with one speaker which is a pretty traditional setup. )Trying all the pretty buttons and getting frustrated means you used an old formula on a digital amplifier. If you want your sound. You have to think a little differently. Digital is a lot touchier. Going through your normal checklist isn’t gonna fly. The complaints about this amp on here are a tad naive. All the standard enhance buttons pressed (fail 1). Compressor in (fail 2). Turn all that crud off. Use the amp wide open like you’re supposed to and use the input until you see the red light. That’s as loud as it gets. If it’s not filling a club at that level and I mean filling it. You’re doing something wrong. This amp is a beast. The tone takes some messing with. The mid range needs an extra bump. Don’t crank everything up and get frustrated. That’s beginner error.
