All-Valve Design

There are lots of amplifi 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 being individually evaluated by a skilled
Quali Quality Control Inspector (a real live
human being). Only about one in every hum
ten v ten valves actually gets the go-ahead for
use use in our amps. The rest get tossed onto
the the slag-heap, where they are melted
dow down to make shot glasses.
