Wow...can't even imagine how loud that is!? Did a clip light come on or are you using "-15db" pad?

No clipping and using the -15db pad.
I could feel my lungs shaking in my chest with my back to the rig. I'll be honest it was stupid loud. I won't do that again in this band but now that I have it dialed in I won't hesitate to pummel the two volume war guitarists in my other band. I'll wear earplugs when I do it.
Haha...I know those kinds of guitarist too! I hope they will find out how powerful Bugera is!
Played another gig with the Bugera Veyron and Mesa/Boogie Subway 112's this time with the volume more appropriately set for the venue. Got nothing but compliments from the band, the audience after the show, and the other bands we shared the stage with.
So far the Veyron is holding up to cold temperature transport and load-ins and load outs. We are heading up to South Bend in a few weeks to play with some established bands up there and looking forward to seeing how the Veyron measures up to the other bands.
I am very strongly considering the Tube version so I can run a bi-amped setup. Back when I ran a bi-amped setup that was the best sound I ever had.

Pissing off the singer, priceless!
Another understated feature of the Veyron M is the DI out. It gives a really clean, accurate sound. It doesn't provide much color (which I like) but it does provide a great wide band signal for my recordings. I actually prefer it over any other connectivity that I own. I primarily use a bass with EMG TWX pickups. They have a very extended range. Low lows, high highs. They Veyron DI transmits the signal very accurately.
I have found this as well. I have yet to have a sound man fail to use the DI on the Veyron or say anything negative about it.
Pads are for kids, especially when there's a singer's head that needs exploding.
Their heads are already big enough on the verge of exploding....
I pulled the trigger and did some swapping for one. I used it with my peavey 810 TXF. Damn. It was big. The cab, too.
I think it's a little bright for my tastes. I killed the horn on the cab, which helped a lot. Turned on the ultra high button for a second or 3. Wowzers. That's treble.
As soon as I can find it, I'm gonna hook it up to my voltage meter and see what it puts out. Maybe that'll get an answer as to real output.

I thought mine was bright too but I have found that in live settings it does not come across as too bright. It cuts through nicely.
Very interested to see what you come up with using voltage meter.
I'm playing professionally for over 25 years now and have had all kinds of heads provided for me by backline companies while touring.
So far my favourites are the Ebs-TD 650 (and the reidmar series), GK, Eden and SWR heads.
2 weeks ago I've had my Veyron-m delivered (paid 200 euro - slightly used) and hooked it up to my Eden 410xlt.
Oh boy - That's an insanely loud mofo!
Yeah, I know the power rating, but who cares (I don't).
IMO that's a very capable little head with a lot of muscle and a transparent overall sound.
Highly recommended!

I'm close to buying the mosfet head but I have been offered the 12" combo at a great price.
Does anyone have any opinions on that?
I don't really gig that often but when I do it's small venues.
It's generally indie/alt/shoegaze/post rock type stuff.
Should i just get the head and a cab ?
Cheers y'all.

The main concern I would have is whether a combo would provide sufficient volume in all possible scenarios. If the combo does not provide enough volume at some point, you’d have to start over.
As for the Bugera combos, it looks like they are 1/2 the power of the Veyron heads (i.e posted “1000 watts” vs “2000 watts”, although I’m not going to get into the “Beheringer Watts” issue here). This really does not matter in a single speaker, as you’d fry a single 12 with that much power going through it (either “1000” or “2000”), but a consideration. Also the Bugera combos do not seem to have an ability to run an extension cab, so you’d be stuck with a single 12, in this case.
If I were in your place, I’d probably get the head and a cab (210, maybe) to allow for additional/different cab configurations for better rig flexibility down the road. I do understand the cost difference, though, so YMMV.
^^^I second the suggestion(s) above^^^
Still gigging mine actively with a set of Mesa/Boogie Subway 112 cabinets. Still not a single complaint or issue. Plently of compliments from audience, fellow musicians, and sound men. The DI on the seems to be very good as well. As I have mentioned in previous comments the true test is the test of time.

Been playing with mine... only live gig was the big show (Pointfest at St Louis!!!!) with my 810.
I've been using it out of town as a headphone rig without my pedalboard. My bass clips it pretty easy, and no gain adjustments relieve it. The pad is the only option. Sounds fine that way, though. Just sort of hard to make heads or tails of it.
With my pedalboard (darkglass vintage ultra on preamp duty), I can keep it from clipping, and it gets insanely loud at low volume settings on the master.
Without it, I have to pad... and the volume knob is way above half before it starts getting loud and heavy.
So... much louder and no clips with preamp. Without, it takes loads more volume knob with gain cranked. Makes no sense. But it sounds great.
If it holds up, which it has so far... it's highly recommendable.

I have a BV1001M and on first trying it I noticed there was a fizzy/dirty pot type noise when increasing the master volume from zero whilst playing with a high input gain. I returned it only for it to come back to me with no problem found. It only happens when turning the dial and a signal is going through it and is clean otherwise, ie, no signal, no fizz/crackly pot. I have heard others have found the same.
Is this just what they do?

My master volume makes the dirty pot sound as well. Mine makes the sound with or without a signal going through it. I figure its the trade-off of owning a cheap amp.
