I'm just wondering about something...
A Bugera V55HD guitar head paired with a bass cabinet.
The V55HD is 55 watts, "all tube"...$349.99.
Turn the reverb off and it becomes a poor-man's Ampeg B-25B head?

This was just a curiosity.
If I run across a V55HD head on my next Guitar Center visit I intend to give this a try and see what it might sound like.
There is a shop locally that has a pretty used and abused B-25B head in their showroom...Their asking $800.00!!!    |

Bugera doesn't get much love here at T.B. but every manufacturer has a diamond in their product line. The V55HD maybe Bugera's diamond.
From all the reviews I've been able to find, no one's said anything negative about the V55HD.
