What is the difference between this and the Bugera V5 in terms of tonal quality? I'm curious as to why the V5 costs more.

The didferencw is thw bc15 has a 12ax7 tube and 15watts. The V5 uses a EL84 tube. 12ax7 are typically used as preamp tubes. Do not know the tonal difference. I do not like the bc15 tone. I replaced the speaker still doesn't sound good. Guessing v5 sounds better because of the el84 tube.

The v 5 is all tube and the bc 15 is only a tube pre amp section not tube power section.

That is a hard question to answer requiring someone to know both amps very well. I will say this. This one is super cheap and is not really an amp but more of a practice tool when you require a cheap and small way to practice on the fly or in the bedroom. It is not loud, amazing or incredible in any way but it is far beyond acceptable for solo practicing at the price point and therefore hard to beat for the same price. But after having a look at the bacon and eggs amp, I would go with that instead as it has a dual purpose and can be used like a pedal. My guess is it will be close to the honeytone amp if you keep your expectations realistic. They are both for solo practice only it would seem. But hold on because it seems according to a few reviews that the bacon and eggs amp does not permit the distortion to be turned off and the volume can't be lowered or so reviews state but those could be wrong. If they are correct, then go with the honeytone amp. Good luck!

Hi Jessica, well my answer to your question is just a little. It's just a little better, you can hardly notice the difference in the sound. Plus you'll be paying more money for the SAD 01. Hopefully this helps.

That is a great price but you have to compare apples to apples. There are different series that have different components like "glass aramid fiber" compared to "kevlar" for the subwoofer cones. Also, the amps are different and (believe it or not) the higher end speakers are HEAVIER so that they do not transfer sound waves through their bases or surrounding materials. I highly recommend that you also consider http://www.amazon.com/IsoAcoustics-ISO-L8R200-Large/dp/B009NWX2WO/ref=sr_1_2?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1378099542&sr=1-2&keywords=isoacoustics Isopacoustic monitor stands. I had "MoPads" and thought that they were good. It is downright amazing how well all of these components work. If you have the room, buy the 8's. I have the attenuators only up "3 detents" for normal use as nearfield monitors. Only if you have a very large studio and want serious thump, go for the 10's. In any amplifier, you always want to have more power than you need to use. The amps are cleaner, run cooler and last longer. Also, invest in good acoustics for your studio as well otherwise you will never get an accurate representation of your music. You may even want to visit one of my webpages at: http://aperfectdj.com/dj-corner. I am a singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer, engineer, live sound engineer and DJ. (My studio uses the KRK Rokit 8 G2's) BTW: The G2's mean "generation 2." Hope this helps.

I can only offer this comparison. 7510 did not prove half the notes. I have had a vs for 25 years and this is more to reference meaning every note us heard as recorded. I loved my vs for all those years and have challenged every kid with their 200 headphones over the past 10 years and they all say wow the v6 was better. The V-6 is considered a close compari so n to 7506 I hear. Once got the 7520 I had to say they blew my v-6 away. My grown daughter jumped at the chance to obtain my v-6 and brags on it every day with her peers and they are blown away the 25 year old headphones are so awesome.....so if the 7520 blows away the v-6 then yes worth every penny I can only offer this comparison. 7510 did not prove half the notes.

The V-modas sound the best out of the three, but quality goes to Jbuds, as the V-modas are not really built to last. At the price they are though, you can afford to be rough with them. Go with the V-modas for sure. Jbuds sound muffled to me... Just my opinion.

The base on their other system (5.1) seems stronger but sometimes drowns out the speaking parts. The lifestyle system is calibrated better so all sound is much better between the bass and treble parts. There is still plenty of base and you can change it on the menu if you want more.

Don't know about the other unit, but I really like the VL3G. The sound is clean. I like the M - F setting to alternate the backing vocals between male and female for variations from song to song. Nice to have the on-board tuner. Works really great when my guitar (and vocals) are pitch-correct, so it's a great motivator for playing and singing correctly. When you "get it right" on your end, the sound is awesome!

Nick, I don't know how the KB-15s might be different from the B-20s. I can only vouch for the the B-20s. I bought them on the recommendation of a salesman in an audio department. He said they're were the "brightest" of the lot. I found that to be true. I also saw on the net somewhere that they were top-rated in a comparison test with other big name bookshelf speakers. Guitar notes are crystal clear and they also the pass the "piano test," which means they handle the attack of piano notes without rattling (lots of otherwise good speakers will rattle). Suffice it to say that I liked the first pair I bought so much that, one by one, I bought four other pairs. You probably can't go wrong with the KB-15s either.

I have two of the Hohner 32Bs (one for home, one for friend's house). Both needed some tuning, a frustrating process, but worth it. The D'Luca needed the most tuning. It has a somewhat more piercing tone, if that's what you like, and more uneven touch response across the keyboard.

NOT just a display preference. The strobe is much more accurate. Standard modes are 0.5 cent accurate and strobe is .1 cent. From T.C. Electronics website: "Chromatic Champ Besides the Polyphonic tuner, PolyTune has a chromatic tuner that can hang with the best current tuning technology out there, with an amazing 0.5 cent accuracy. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Full Strobe Ahead The strobe tuner in PolyTune 2 is super accurate and super fast. Finetune your instruments with surgical precision at blinding speeds. Sounds good, right? We're talking +/- 0.1Cent tuning accuracy and in case you don't really know what that means - believe us there are atomic clocks that'd kill for that accuracy."

BETTER what?? better (quality) sound, better pounding base, better quality materials, better warranty, ????? The 13.5 is larger and pushes more air. The other thing you will want to find out is, what is the RMS rating difference between te two. I never look at the "peak "watts. Means nothing to me. The RMS is the thing to look at. I only buy the best, JL AUDIO. I have NEVER had any problems! Some body may have a louder sounding system, BUT its the quality of sound that counts. I have never had American Base before. Never had any reason to try them. I ALWAYS tell everybody "you can't go wrong with JL AUDIO.

Hey Patrick. I have the THR5, which has the same sounds as the 10 but a few less features. I play a lot of classic rock and late 80's stuff too and I think the tones are great. I haven't tried the THR10x but from what I read it's geared more towards the metal crowd. For classic rock tones, I find the THR5's and 10's have more than enough gain. I was really impressed with how responsive it is to pinch harmonics and feedback. Get some really cool early ZZ Top and even GNR tones on it. The effects are awesome too. The tremelo and flange are pretty authentic. If you're not really bothered about saving patches or having an extra control for aux-in volume, you can save even more bucks and get the THR5. My ONLY complaint is with the whole range, and it's a very small complaint... the power switch is actually plastic. Mine's snapped off after I clipped it with my headstock. Still works though. Anyway, hope that helps. These things definitely make practice more convenient without sacrificing tone.

I would get the iBasso, because it has good circuitry, gain switch, volume control wheel, etc. In the early days of mini-DACs like the Dragonfly or Audioengine D1, the sound was good but was bettered by new generations. I don't have the iBasso amp, but I trust the Headfonia reviews.

Yes, I have compared the two. I returned the Fluance SX6's, and kept the Pioneer BS22's. The Fluance's were very dynamic, and sounded great playing trance or other electronic music, but the Pioneers have a warmer mellower sound that I really like for the long haul.

In my experience the 2020A is a significantly better amp. It's twice the cost... but worth it. This amp has poor quality control, tents to overhead and perform inconsistently. For around $20, the 2020A is still cheap... and definitely preferable.

Search Amazon for Bugera V22 tubes and a JJ brand set will come up with all 5 tubes for like 56 bucks. I just ordered me a set and have heard good things about the JJ Tubes. Hope this helps. I'm also changing out the stock 12" speaker to an Eminence Private Jack for that British Marshall tone. They are 94 bucks on Amazon.
