The BVP5500 from Bugera is a 550 Watt, valve bass amplifier head with valve gain control and a graphic EQ. The amplifier features two selected pairs of 12AX7 preamp valves with their own drive control, along with an arsenal of tone-sculpting tools, including a 3-band EQ with sweepable mids, Ultra-High and Ultra-Low switches, and a 9-band graphic EQ.

For expanded versatility, the amplifier provides an Effects Loop and an Insert Channel with Preamp Out and Power Amp In connections. The BVP5500 also features a heavy-duty footswitch to kill the signal to the amplifier, allowing you to tune in silence, and to activate/deactivate the graphic EQ. The amplifier is fan cooled.
