Great news bikerboy94, I think 5w Valve is what I've been missing. I don't have the power soak like on the V5 but played last night with the amp around 3/4 EQ at half and guitar volume rolled down and it sounded good without waking the kids. Your soak at a reduced watt must be perfect. She is a looker DefJef, no supermodel but in a girl next door way.

First I opened one box, then another just to find a 3rd box in which the amp was. Well packaged indeed, good one Thomann. They also sent this pack as "Premium" Not to be dropped etc ... Nice touch. Lots of bubble-wrap too

Due to musical differences I've decided I can't work with myself any more.

She is a looker DefJef , no supermodel but in a girl next door way. I like the fact that she's got a face with a kind of surprised look on it. My Fender Champ SE is neither a looker in the supermodel or girl-next-door way. More of a what-the-hell-is-that-dog-at-in-the-yard? It wins me over by huge personality only.

Ok here are the first pics; What a gorgeous amp folks it sure is a looker and feels very solid (ah yes the HB dyna comp has arrived as well) Under the hood is the 5 watt engine Tubes this is where you do the BBQ This amp is not small at all. I though it was much smaller from the vids I have seen. Still to plug it in. Im waiting for it to acclimatize to the room temperature ...

Ok, ok I just plugged it in and all seems to work as it should. This one is a keeper.
I only played it with strat alnico single coils and it sounds clean. And I mean clean even if I go 10 on the Gain. Sure it start to break a bit but still in the clean territory even if I turn max on me guitar volume. Yet to try it on me P90's and Humbuckers. Im pretty sure this amp will growl under the pressure of the humbuckers and even the P90's.
I have read folks complain about not being able to use the Reverb in 0,1 and 1 Watt attenuation, only in 5 watt it would work. Im sure that was the case on the early model called Bugera V5 Combo. This Infinium model has Reverb in all 3 modes.
The 0,1 W is quiet but can get loud. The 1 Watt can get very loud and the 5 Watt I dared not to test (need house to my self to do this or I just might go into the chicken stable and do it.
What I love about this amp (could be same with all tube amps) is that all parameters are usable. No matter if I take down the tone or up it, down the gain or up it, all sounds good, you just choose what serves best your track.
The 8" Turbosound speaker sounds big, if not bigger that my 12" Kustom one.

Great review papache, I've heard that about the Turbosounds but never really believed it until now. See, Uncle John was right, you needed to play. Glad you're happy mate. Sounds like a brilliant little amp. I think it's still on my list of wants but Mrs John would literally kill me, not metaphorically, actually to death, if I got another just yet. Enjoy.

Someone sure put lots of though into this Bugera that I must say. Will make me a cup of tea, change my sons diapers and then plug in the P90's and see what this box have to say about them. About GAS; I am still eyeing the FAME Sweet Baby which I sure will buy ... next year maybe But I dont need another amp nor another guitar, I need monitors!!!!!!!!! (must remind me self often)

Ok. Had a chance to play it a bit louder today and the lower E and A can sound boomy when on neck pup. The amp is very quiet, no hum, not even on my strat. unless i go over 6 on the gain. It must have an automatic ground lift or similar.
