I have a 6262 120 watt combo I just repaired after letting it sit for 5 years, bc it needed repairs, and yeah, I was surprised when reminded how good they actually sound. Sure, it's a 5150/5150II bargain Chinese knockoff, but they did a pretty good job. As far as failures, man, *every single tube amp* I have ever owned went to the shop sooner or later, and I've had all kinds, with the exception of hand wired boutique amps... maybe they are worth $4K.... NOT. It sounds just like the 5150II head I had. I also forgot that really neat feature of being able to use *either* 6L6GC's or EL4's with just the flick of a switch and set the bias with a simple little knob. Pretty amazing for a 'cheap knockoff'. Anyway, I fixed it myself, and after looking inside, I tell you, the internal layout is far more clean and 'workable' than the 5150's. However, looking around, I saw how light the gauge most of the wiring is. The problem was a burnt connector that I just removed and soldered the wire directly onto the board. If anything else happens to it, I know that taking a look and fixing something simple would be very easy to spot and fix. Not so with the Peaveys. Anyway, nice demo, Rock on! :)
thanks for responding. I have asked many people about that. no one ever replied. your music is awesome brother. I listen to your stuff when I'm driving !!!! THANKS, Bryan from Chicago U.S.A.
I had this bugera from him and there was full off sovtek 12ax7WA tubes in it and it sounds killer!!! Now I have digital but anyway this was one of the best sounding amps I ever had.
It is absolutelly killer amp. I recently bought the very hyped PRS MT-15 and found out, that I actually prefer my old 6262! (MT-15 has beautiful cleans and more definition tho - it's just more "modern" sounding.)
Brian, whats up man. You really need to do more videos. Ii think you deserve a hell of alot more attention than your getting. Plus id like to see more stuff from you. Rock on !!
Hey Bryan! Thank you so much! You're right, I've done a terrible thing - let my channel go silent for too long. I could come up with many excuses, life situation, health issues etc., but f*** it, no one needs that... you're right, I will try to come up with a new video within 2 weeks latest from now, and then making new videos on a regular basis, cross the fingers for me, and thank you again ;)
@@whatyoumakeofit6635 Sure! Search my name on Facebook, Instagram, there are are some production samples on Soundcloud (soundcloud.com/search?q=Brian%20Bajak), there is a (temporary version so far) website www.brianbajak.com, and 2 of my bands from the past (not sure you would like them) are on the most of the streaming media - "Baron Blade" and "LOX-ZA". Also, I am working on 1 EP and 1 full album (first is a question of months, and second maybe a year) that will be on all of the streaming media, too.
Hey! Thank you so much! No pedals, I just play a lot with sound before recording, always using new strings and Sivcak guitars have really good sound that is always coming through with passive pickups. I play with pickups (switching often to single coil) for clean sounds. For live playing I use tube screamer before an amp just with minimum overdrive, not to add gain, but to get rid of the muddy bass freqs. I use a high pass filtering in mix for these videos then.
Hello sir ..Many people says bugera 6262 has tubes issues after sometimes... sir please...I want to buy with my hard earn money....I don't want to take wrong decision...
Hello! This one had the power tubes changed for Sovteks, but I didn't notice a big difference from the stock ones, even though there was some difference.
@@dipalineog1806 No issues. I had changed them only because they were 3 yrs old, and I wanted to be sure everything is ok, but as I wrote, difference wasn't significant (but it was still there, and it helped the sound).
I was just having hard time believing bugera copied them to the point that they made separate models to copy the entire evolution of the peavey 5150. that company must really have been banking on those amps to be popular.
You are right, but it is not the first time in history (not even the last, haha)... I think Soldano sued Peavey for copying their circuits after the 5150 was released, or Mesa did the exact 1x12 cab copy from Eelectro Voice... Still, it is good for us musicians to have a lot to choose from :)
Hey Brian, nice demo. Haven't heard from you for a while. Regarding the amp, I think Peavey is a bit tighter, but maybe it's just in my head) Have a nice day.
Brian Bajak That's true man. I just left facebook. Anyways, hope to see more stuff. I like your lead parts. And if one day I'll visit Slovakia, I'll get you a beer) Take care man.
Hey Randy, thank you! There is more low end than enough for me. You can see where I have the bass knob. Anyway, today I think I could get better sound, was too much focused on drum mixing, haha... I think the most important thing is the cab. Sometimes the 2x12 combos just don't do the job (and sometimes they do). Do you have a chance to unplug the speakers of your combo (on the back panel) and try some guitar cab (with proper resistance)? (Meaning using your combo as a head only.) That could really make a difference. Then it also could be worth considering changing the speakers in the combo (depending on one's taste).
They are all handmade, and there are no two same, so it's like each one's a custom. You can also order your own custom built guitar, chek'em here: sollerguitars.com/index.php?option=com_flexicontent&view=category&cid=10&Itemid=101&lang=en
@@BrianBajak its not the pickups (tried several). Its really the amp itself. Other people have confirmed that the clean channel with gain only on 1, still sounds a bit crunchy. In your video, it does not really do that. Great video btw!
@@dokterkarel thank you! Well, the clean here or on 6505 is not really clean, true. But also, I play here with single coil (split humbucker), which adds another clarity (and lowers the output even more). I don't remember well why I did it, but it could be because of searching for the clean tones.
I love the way you did your demo and I enjoyed the way you mixed in the drums too.

great sound from cheap bugera . . .thanks , terima kasih

@@BrianBajak Thank you for response! Your music is simply amazing!

Fucking Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
is it just the difference of dedicated eq and not. like the old peavey 5150 compared to newer or 6505+ ?

Okie Dokie ;)
How is the low end on these amps. I have a 6260 combo that is absolutely ball-less in the low end. Nice demo. Otto's solid.
Hey Randy, thank you! There is more low end than enough for me. You can see where I have the bass knob. Anyway, today I think I could get better sound, was too much focused on drum mixing, haha... I think the most important thing is the cab. Sometimes the 2x12 combos just don't do the job (and sometimes they do). Do you have a chance to unplug the speakers of your combo (on the back panel) and try some guitar cab (with proper resistance)? (Meaning using your combo as a head only.)

Brian, can you tell me why nobody has done a bugera 6260 vs bugera 6262 video ?
Interesting point. I guess there is not a huge difference, but there will be some for sure. If I had them both at a same time, I would do it...
Brian Bajak
The 6262 is the Peavey 6505+ or 5150 2
The 6260 is the peavey 6505 or 5150
Brácho ja som dlho uvažoval nad ňou ale nakoniec som kúpil 333xl infinium
Tato bola dobry kus, aj bola dobre prelampovana. 333xl musi byt tiez v poriadku asi.
@@BrianBajak no kúpil som ju v kombinácii s randall boxom 4x12
It sounds clost to metallicas orion and the frist song sounded a lot like battery off of master of puppets but it did sound good none the less
I dunno what you did, but my 6262's clean channel does not sound as "clean" as yours
Might be the pickups(?), I use passive with pretty low output (DiMarzio PAF 7).
