BUGERA BC30-212
Boutique-Style 30-Watt Class-A Valve Combo
with Valve Rectifier
The BC30-212 is a musical instrument unto
itself; it's the complement your guitar has always
lacked, and the extra band member you've
always needed. That's because unlike most
amps, the BC30-212 actually communicates
with you and your guitar, responding to the
subtle characteristics of your playing technique
and giving your creativity a voice all its own.
It's a concept that forced us to concentrate
on the essence of tone and dynamics. As is
often the case, it is the simple, straightforward
design, combined with the most refined
components available, which yields the highest
fidelity and most dynamic response. In the
end, we succeeded in creating an amp that will
change how you play and perfect your sound.
The Amp That Speaks
Your Language
The BC30-212 is the ultimate in tonal purity.
The preamp conditions your signal then lets
the power amp and speakers have their way
with it. The amp becomes an extension of your
guitar and your fingers - no channel switches
or signal boosting devices to change the tone.
Instead, you control the amp from the guitar;
your dynamic nuances, picking technique,
pickups, volume control, and tone knobs
determine the sound you hear. Pick gently for
crystal-clear clean tones. Pick hard, and you'll be
rewarded with bone-shattering crunch.
It's that simple.
The power amp section features four
EL84 valves, the highly reactive, breakup-prone
secret to the sound that made England's finest
amps (and guitarists) world famous. With the
simple flick of a switch, you can choose two
EL84's (15 W) or all four (30 W), giving the
BC30-212 the power to restrain volume for
smaller venues, or peel the paint off the walls
in larger rooms.
In short, the BC30-212 thinks the way you
do. And in true BUGERA fashion, it offers you a
multitude of ways to customize its voice to meet
your sonic tastes.
