Members Deadbeat Son Posted April 6, 2010 Members Share Posted April 6, 2010 Add me in the 100% satisfied column. Bugera V5. So you're 100% satisfied with a V22 you don't have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members srspud Posted April 6, 2010 Members Share Posted April 6, 2010 Had my V22 since around Christmas and have been gigging with it every weekend and playing it at home. I've had no issues with reliability. I did push the amp pretty hard right off the bat and after 30 days replaced the two power tubes and have been running strong ever since. I also went through the amp and tightened all the cabinet screws just a little around 30 days as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members twotimingpete Posted April 6, 2010 Members Share Posted April 6, 2010 arrived with a bad tube, but that may have happened during shipping. I replaced the tubes and am happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hooch1 Posted April 6, 2010 Members Share Posted April 6, 2010 Channel switch problem occurred between 2-4 hrs. Sent it back for a refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarman3001 Posted April 6, 2010 Members Share Posted April 6, 2010 channel switching bug when playing 0-2 hours. Exchanged for a new one that is problem free so far. I like it so much it's become my main gigging amp. Have gigged it about twice a week since I've had it. Gigs are 4 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alex W Posted April 6, 2010 Members Share Posted April 6, 2010 No problems at all with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ILikeGuitar Posted April 6, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 6, 2010 yeah thats the only thing that made me choose another amp over this one... just the fact that i didn't want a dud and have to deal with return shipping, exchange etc. they sound really good though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members twotimingpete Posted April 6, 2010 Members Share Posted April 6, 2010 I don't buy that we've had 10 v22 owners read this thread already and that many of them had problems. I think people are trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orbm1 Posted April 6, 2010 Members Share Posted April 6, 2010 I had some issues after some hours of playing.... but I checked (by mistake) that it arrived with issues and did not return... The tech support from bugera/behringer was superb... they gave me an RMA to get my amp repair in a local shop at no cost to me... bad tube and socket was the problem, according to the tech, happened in transit... but I did not hear it immediately because "it was holding on by a thread", it gave with me moving it all around the house! Still, since then... no issues! Omar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My V55hd is still working like a champ....... but if It does screw up, as long as it gets fixed, I'm good.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jhall Posted April 6, 2010 Members Share Posted April 6, 2010 I had a very slightly microphonic preamp tube. After replacing it the amp is probably the best amp I've ever had as far as the sound. Hope to get a lot of use out of it. We'll see. On a side note I've got or have had plenty of more costly amps that were saddeled with issues or didn't come close to the sound quality of the V-22.

Members ILikeGuitar Posted April 7, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 7, 2010 bad tube wouldnt be a huge deal, but bad solder joints, transformer etc. would be bad since it would be costly to fix and a hassle to exchange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
