Bass Amplifiers
Vintage 300-Watt All-Valve Bass Ampli er Head
Features
And if you want even more tone-sculpting
options, engage the ULTRA-LOW switch for
an additional +2 dB boost @ 40 Hz, or the
ULTRA-HIGH switch for a soaring top-end
boost of +9 dB @ 8 kHz.
Use Your Connections
When it comes to connectivity, the
BVV3000 is brimming with possibilities.
A balanced XLR DI output is provided for
front-of-house and recording console
connections, complete with LEVEL control
and GROUND LIFT switch. Also available is a
¼" PREAMP OUT jack for sending the main
signal to an external power amp or mixing
console. The accompanying POWER AMP IN
jack can be used to receive a signal from
an external preamp, or it can be used in
conjunction with the PREAMP OUT jack to
create the ideal FX loop.
High-Current Speaker
Connections
In addition to the two ¼" speaker jacks
on the rear panel of the BVV3000, we’ve
also provided a professional high-current
twist-lock socket. The IMPEDANCE selector
switch allows you to operate the ampli er
at either 2 or 4 Ohms, depending on your
speaker con guration.
User-Adjustable Bias
All valves require proper biasing to
work e ciently. In the early days of tube
ampli cation, this task was usually left
to the service technician and it required
some very specialized equipment, plus a
soldering iron and a handful of resistors.
The BVV3000 was designed so that the user
can easily replace the tubes and do the
bias adjustment in true DIY (do it yourself)
fashion. This procedure is simple and fully
documented in the owner’s manual.
Value
When it comes to all-valve tone,
functionality and versatility, the
BUGERA BVV3000 is the value leader in
its class. From its vintage good looks to
its chest-pounding output, the BVV3000
will turn heads and keep the dance  oor
busy—at a price that will keep you smiling.
Or, you can spend a whole lot more and get
an amp from that company whose name
rhymes with “Damp Leg.”
