Front panel

1 The POWER switch is used to turn the power of the
BUGERA amplifier on and off.
2 The STANDBY switch allows you to place the amp
in STANDBY mode. This way the amp is idle, but the
operational temperature of the valves is maintained
(POWER switch turned on).
3 The REVERB control determines the amount of the
built-in reverb effect. The 6262 (and 6262-212)
features individual REVERB controls for the LEAD and
CLEAN channels. The supplied footswitch lets you
activate the REVERB effect (see Chapter
„Footswitch").
4 The PRESENCE control modifies the amp's damping
factor at high frequencies. This is used to fine-tune
the high-frequency range of the speaker cabinet. The
6262 (or 6262-212) features individual PRESENCE
controls for the LEAD and CLEAN channels.
5 This is the VOLUME control that lets you adjust the
volume level of the LEAD channel.
6 This is the VOLUME control that lets you adjust the
volume level of the CLEAN channel.
7 The passive TREBLE control adjusts the upper
frequency range. The 6262 (and 6262-212) features
separate TREBLE controls for the LEAD and CLEAN
channels.
8 The passive MID control adjusts the middle frequency
range. The 6262 (and 6262-212) features separate
MID controls for the LEAD and CLEAN channels.
9 The passive BASS control adjusts the lower frequency
range. The 6262 (and 6262-212) features separate
BASS controls for the LEAD and CLEAN channels.
10 This GAIN control specifies the input level of the
LEAD channel. Turn the control to the right to increase
the preamplifier's distortion and sustain.
11 The LEAD switch activates the LEAD channel (switch
glows red).
12 The CRUNCH switch activates the gain boost on the
CLEAN channel (switch glows yellow). This way the
CLEAN channel can be used as a second LEAD
channel.
13 This GAIN control specifies the input level of the
CLEAN channel. Turn the control to the right to
increase the preamplifier's distortion and sustain.

Please note that extremely high GAIN settings
in conjunction with extremely high VOLUME
settings can make the combo models vibrate
mechanically. This may occur when played at
extremely high volume levels, which is seldom
done. Should this be the case, adjust the GAIN
and VOLUME settings so that the problem does
not recur.
14 The CLEAN switch activates the CLEAN channel
(switch glows green).
You can also activate both channels with the
supplied footswitch. Refer to „Footswitch" for
details.
15 The BRIGHT switch activates an extra boost in the
high-frequency range (+6 dB at 2 kHz) which only
affects the CLEAN channel.
16 The LOW GAIN input is used for instruments with
an extremely high output level that could distort the
HIGH GAIN input (only 6260 and 6260-212).
17 The HIGH GAIN input (6262 and 6262-212: INPUT)
is 6 dB louder than the LOW GAIN input and is used
for most electric guitars.
The HIGH GAIN and LOW GAIN connectors have
identical sensitivity when used at the same time
(both with LOW GAIN sensitivity).
