BVV3000 INFINIUM
Valve Bass Amplifier Head
Vintage 300-Watt All-Valve Bass Ampli er Head with
INFINIUM Valve Life Multiplier
Leave it to BUGERA to bring the
classic all-valve bass amp up to date.
Lovingly handmade and sporting vintage
styling, the BVV3000 INFINIUM merges
in-your-face bass with state-of-the-art
features, such as a 5-position Voicing
selector and our new INFINIUM Valve Life
Multiplier technology, which will keep
your BVV3000 sounding great for many
years to come.
With 300-Watts of chest-pounding
output, the BVV3000 melds old-school
aggressive attitude with a touch of
nostalgia, creating tones that are only
possible from an all-valve ampli er.
All-Valve Design
There are lots of ampli ers on the
market today that claim to be valve amps
just because they’ve got a 12AX7 inside.
But it takes a whole lot more than just
a preamp tube to qualify an amp as
being “all-valve.” The BVV3000 is a true
all-valve bass amp with three 12AX7
and two 12AU7 valves. Two trios of 6550
(also known as KT88) output tubes operate
in classic “push-pull” mode to create
300 Watts of room-shaking thunder.
Each BUGERA valve goes through a
rigorous 48-hour burn-in process before
being individually evaluated by a skilled
Quality Control Inspector (a real live
human being). Only about one in every
ten valves actually gets the go-ahead for
use in our amps. The rest get tossed onto
the slag-heap, where they are melted
down to make shot glasses.
