Bugera 6260 Ultimate Guitar Amp Head Review
The Bugera 6260 is a Boutique-style 2-channel tube amplifier. It outshines classic rock, alternative rock, and raw metal bands due to its rock power and road-worthy reliability. This powerful amp comes equipped with a massive 120 watt cut-off power and a classic 2-channel design EQ section (with bass, mids and treble) and reverb.
The Bugera 6260’s classic 2-channel preamp design (Clean, Crunch, Lead) is loaded with 5 12AX7 tubes for precision attack with terrifying gain and punch. Both channels offer a classic presence control (Peavey 5150 style) for more redefined tuning capabilities to add more to the incredible tone. Plus, you’ll revere the detail of defined reverb tails that can be individually controlled on each channel. Two additional impedance switched outputs to fit virtually any speaker cabinet, from 4.8 to 16 ohms.
This monster comes with a sturdy 4-way metal footswitch selector. Making channel switching and effects looping in a live situation smooth progress. This boutique style valve head is built with precision assembly, hand-built to perfection, you can be sure the beast will stand the test of time. Use double-hum buckers and play metal or use single coils and play blues for a smoother, cleaner sound, you can use this amp in any diverse situation. Best of all, it keeps up with your rowdy audience of hungry fans while maintaining excellent clarity.
Experience your sound with the Bugera 6260, swap the 12AX7 V1 or V2 preamp for a 12DW7 to lower the gain … Want more gain? Add a 12AX7 high gain JJ. It’s a good mix with the bass so tight for a thick beat. – The two channels, blue (clean) and razor (distortion. Gain, Bass, Bass, Treble and Level for the first channel, Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble, Level, for the second). The Bugera uses four hand-selected Bugera 6L6 power tubes and five Bugera 12AX7 preamp tubes.
The Bugera 6260’s boost channel is insane with the master volume driving the tubes and pushing the 6260 to the brink of meat-peeling pleasure. The stereo effects loop is also a nice benefit for the Bugera 6260. Using the blue side with the “green” channel on the pedal will give a pronounced silky tone with a bit of edge. Switch to the razor, crank up the bass, kick out the mids, boost the gain, and the Bugera turns into a massive Godsmack-like territory. Run the cheer through the blue channel, giving the tone some nice grunge. The best thing is that the Bugera 6260 is not a loud amp (or this could be a flaw for you (vintage head enthusiasts)
Simply put, the Bugera 6260 has a brutal range of raw metal tones. A strong and clean shaggy tone usable. 120 watts of incredible power provides plenty of headroom and more than enough for two 4×12 speaker cabinets to captivate a large audience at a live concert. Roadworthy reliability and priced for a playing musician … And there’s still enough money left for a pack of guitar strings and a case of beer.
