Poll: Bugera 6262 vs. Peavey 5150 ii

[crillemannen]

On another note:

What could be even more interesting, would be to hear from Ola how his personal experience was with the 2 amps. How was it working with the amps? How do they differantiate in real life. Theyr strengths, weaknesses and qualities.

Well it is quite obvious that both amps are great. Didn't think any clip sounded better or worse just a bit difference.

How much is the bugera version?

 

[Ola Englund]

Heres the video. Also I did test both amps in their own songs to give them a fair chance to shine on their own. I'll upload them later this week.

The Bugera versions of 5150 and 5150II are about as much as a used Peavey 5150 and 5150II.

 

[ahjteam]

I love how 61.29% of the people was incorrect

The Bugera versions of 5150 and 5150II are about as much as a used Peavey 5150 and 5150II.

Depends entirely where you live. Here the 6260 is less than 400€ new, 5150 is over 1000€ new

I can't see how people say the Bugera is even close to the Peavey. To my ears, there's a huge difference in the amount of presence and clarity! It's like with the Peavey a blanket is lifted from the cab. But I don't know if it's easy to fix with the EQ of the Bugera... Especially noticeable at the 0:50 and 1:10 changes.

 

[musickey]

lol that was bad ass! very interesting indeed

 

[TonyS.]

Like I said... the second amp was the better sounding for me.... If its a Bugera or 5150, or Recti...mhhh.... fruck it.

 

[Dave1978]

The 5150 sounds more clear to me, but the 6262 sounds alright as well.

 

[zvish]

heey ola, love to hear more of bugera tests, like 333 vs xxx or JSX, that would be great!
cheers and keep your good work! this amp sounds like a good choice for the money, i mean 2626

It might be a bit "cloudier" sounding, but from these clips i preferred the Bugera simply because it has more body to it.

 

[Melodeath]

Yay. I picked a 5150. Bugera sounds fine regardless.

 

[::XeS::]

The big lack of Bugera's is the resonance pot. They switched the reso with a reverb but unfortunately resonance is really important to achieve the best sound from a 5150/5150 II

 

[Wolfeman]

Yeah I think messing with the NFB section of the Bugera would help it out tons. Adding a depth control(resonance) is super easy.

 

[::XeS::]

Anyway, I don't know the Bugera...but the 5150 II has less body/gain that 5150 so the gain at 11o'clock is a little too low...Actually I have mine at 12o'clock / 13o'clock.
Same settings are good for the comparison anyway

 

[Ola Englund]

To be honest I preferred the Bugera in the room. Just sounded better to me. But then I would NEVER buy one for bringing on tour. It was 1 year old and had some stuff falling off
But for home use it's hard to justify the extra dough for the 5150.

 

[Ola Englund]

And I love the guys who are still voting the poll now that you know the results!

 

[azistenostora]

And all of the sudden peavy is catching up haha.
Bugera sounded better to me to be honest.

 

[::XeS::]

One last thing...I would never use one of these amp without a TS in front of them...it changes totally the amps

That's why I'm doing videos for each of the amps with a boost.

Thnik the same...5150 has the a nasty fizz on this record, but I heard a lot of better sounding 5150 clips, too. I think you could tweak it a lot better than the bugera?!
