Sporting a gorgeous look and feel, the T5 serves up 5 beautiful, tube-soaked, Class-A Watts in all your favorite flavors and features our revolutionary INFINIUM Tube Life Multiplier Technology – which not only controls your output tube’s status, but can extend its lifespan by up to 20 times. A built-in 2-way Power Attenuator, allows you to achieve the ultimate sound at any volume, all the way down to 0.1 Watts – and the ultra easy-to-use vintage equalizer (Bass and Treble) will have you dialing up the tone of your dreams.

We topped it all off with a sweet-sounding, high-definition Reverb that lends an air of timelessness to your solo and rhythm parts, and a Phat switch to boost the sound character of your guitar playing even more. It all adds up to an all-tube amplifier with vintage styling and outrageous tone – the small but mighty T5 INFINIUM!

Classic All-Tube Design

The T5 INFINIUM features true Class-A technology with a 12AX7 front-end and an EL84 power stage. A masterful, hand-crafted all-tube amplifier, the T5 provides sweetly-balanced harmonics and natural tube compression, resulting in the warm distortion and break-up you’ve come to love from those vintage megaliths of yesteryear – only in a much more portable and attractive package. The hand-selected 12AX7 preamp tube in T5’s classic ‘60s-era preamp provides everything from sweetly-purring blues to mind-blowing crunch. Often employed in British-style amplifiers, the EL84 output tube is known for its crisp and chiming tonal quality, when pushed to the max, and the T5 harnesses that power via the built-in power attenuator – for the ultimate guitar tone at any volume level.

INFINIUM Tube Life Multiplier Technology

Years in the making, our INFINIUM Tube Life Multiplier Technology can extend the usable lifespan of your amplifier’s expensive power tubes by up to 20 times, saving you huge money and ensuring the integrity of your tone. How? This revolutionary circuit automatically and continuously monitors the performance of each output tube, and dynamically drives it towards the target operating point, for an evenly distributed load.

INFINIUM also compensates for the effects of aging, automatically adjusting current levels to keep your tubes sounding as good as new – even when AC line voltages drop below nominal levels. Similar technology has been used for decades in all-wheel drive cars, where systems modulate the power going to each wheel to improve traction. Just consider INFINIUM Series amps “4-wheel drive” for your guitar.

INFINIUM Series amps take all the guesswork out of tube replacement by illuminating an LED next to a tube that is reaching the end of its usable lifespan. And thanks to INFINIUM’s Auto-Bias design, you simply replace the indicated tube – without a trip to the repair shop, saving you even more money.


Available exclusively from BUGERA, INFINIUM Tube Life Multiplier Technology is a major breakthrough in amplifier design and manufacture, providing incredible reliability for your stage performance and more consistent sound over the lifespan of your tubes. Since they are always operating at optimal levels, your output tubes perform more predictably and last much longer, thanks to BUGERA’s marvelous INFINIUM Technology, saving you some serious money!

High-Definition Reverb

Adding to its impressive list of tone-shaping options, the T5’s high-definition Reverb puts the perfect finishing touch to your signature sound. Adjustable via the dedicated control on the front panel, you can finally achieve any sound you desire – from a subtle touch to the cavernous, natural-sounding reverberation of a large arena.

Power Attenuator and Speaker Emulation - Your Best Tone at Any Volume

The convenient, built-in Power Attenuator allows you to operate the incredibly-tasty T5 at your choice of 5 Watts, 1 Watt, or even 0.1 of a Watt, so you get everything from sweet and sassy to maximum tube saturation at any volume level. This amazing feature alone makes the T5 INFINIUM worth its weight in gold!

Uncompromising Quality and Sound

Long life and impressive durability are ensured, thanks to the high-quality components and exceptionally-rugged construction found throughout. Designed and Engineered by BUGERA Germany and featuring our 3-Year Limited Warranty Program, the BUGERA T5 INFINIUM gives you all the wonderful tones of the most-revered, classic tube amps, pairing a vintage Class-A design with our fully-adjustable power attenuator. Whether you’re bringing yesterday’s golden tones to life, or creating some of your own – the T5 is destined to become your favorite new sonically-inspired, do-it-all amp!

5W tube amp head, the size of a small toaster! (5 or 1 or 0.1 W) More than enough for inside a house. (110 db at 1 m on a 12" speaker at 8 ohms) Clear, decent sounds, just the right amount of crunch when pushing the gain Bonus: a small (quite discreet) built-in reverb. The build seems neat Not bad at this price level!

Its excellent at 5W typically Night'Train (what a surprise!) But it becomes less dynamic as you go down to 1W then 0.1W like with all amps that have this option, all brands combined So if you're looking for a good 5W head go for it. If you want something to not make noise, play with headphones, or get a THR

small amp good for playing blues... a good tube sound for this price range .. reverb too cathedral .. the Phat gives a rather messy sound, distortion pass your way even with an effect pedal. maybe a problem with ECC83 (Bugera) and EL84 tubes to change?? In the end, a good amp for the "clean", "bluesy" sound.. for the price hard to get perfection.. and moreover it catches the eye with its vintage look .. so why not!!

Very good value for money. Very well finished. Super clean & super reverb. Medium crunch, however it accepts effect pedals very well, especially: Mooer Green Mile & Blues Crab. No regrets. At this price, a great little amp........

Good little amp to have the "sound" at home. Respects well that of the instrument (humbucker or single coil) and the attenuator is a significant plus to avoid upsetting the neighbors. Happy with my purchase.
