BUGERA BC15
Guitar Amplifiers 15-WattVintage Guitar Amp with 12AX7Valve
The BUGERA BC15 is the ideal choice for
guitarists seeking authentic tube-tone in a
compact, 12-pound (5.6 kg) combo. From its
vintage styling, which harkens back to the
golden age of valve design, to its
dual-channel 12AX7-fueled preamp,
nothing speaks retro like the BC15.
Add to this a MASTER volume control
and 2-band EQ with mid SHIFT
switch, and this little time machine
will instantly transport your tone to
the land of bliss.
30 Watts of Awesome!
With a solid 30-Watts RMS at
your disposal, the BC15 is ideal
for rehearsal, home/professional
recording studios, and even
small gigs. For more demanding
performances, just stick a mic in front of the
vintage-tuned 8"BUGERA speaker and give‘em
a taste of real-tube tone!
Speaking of Tone…
Just like our high-powered agship
models, the BC15 is all about tone.
There’s a hand-selected 12AX7 inside, giving
this little brute its bite. But the BC15 isn’t just a
“one-trick pony.”Selecting the [GAIN] button
activates BC15’s Lead/Distortion channel,
launching you into sweet tube-soaked
overdrive. EQ duties are handled by (BASS)
and (TREBLE) controls which, when used in
conjunction with the midrange [SHIFT] button,
provide tons of tone-sculpting options.

Features
Beyond Vintage
Even though the BC15 has vintage styling
reminiscent of amps from the ‘50s and ‘60s,
it also boasts some very modern extra features.
A ¼"TRS jack is provided for connecting
an external playback device, such as a CD
player, tape deck, iPod, etc., allowing you to
jam with your favorite songs. If it’s late and
the urge to play suddenly strikes, just plug
in some headphones and you won’t have to
worry about waking the kids or bothering the
neighbors. You won’t nd features like these on
your granddad’s amp!
Supremely Portable
All this tone and functionality comes in
an extremely portable lightweight package—
and because it’s built like a tank, it can take
whatever life dishes out, from one gig to
the next.
Before you spend far too much of your
hard-earned cash you owe it to yourself,
and the other members of the band, to give
the BC15 a listen. We call it “Neo-Vintage,”
you’ll call it incredible!
