Boutique-Style 100-Watt 3-Channel Valve Ampli er Head with INFINIUM

Valve Life Multiplier, Tri-Mode Recti er, Reverb and VARIPOWER

Valves can be mined for an enormous

palette of tones, but most amps leave

you with just a Master Volume dial and

one choice of valves, making it all but

impossible to experience these varieties

at anything less than titanic volumes.

Enter the BUGERA TRIREC INFINIUM—this

all-valve tone bu et features a Varipower

dial that scales output power from 1 to

100 Watts, giving you sweet power tube

saturation at apartment-friendly volumes.

Feel like experiencing a power valve variety

besides 6L6? INFINIUM Valve Life Multiplier

technology not only extends the lifespan

of your output valves, it allows you to run

all 6L6s, 6550s, EL34s, or you can mix any

combination of the above to create your

own signature tone. The TRIREC also gives

you three preamp channels, each with a

wide array of sonic options, internal reverb,

an adjustable and remote

switchable boost, an FX loop,

and three recti er modes to

choose from (valve, silicon

diode, valve and silicon diode).

Tri-What?

Recti ers convert

alternating current (AC)

to direct current (DC),

giving your guitar amp the

power it needs to rock.

Most of today’s amps feature

solid-state recti ers, which have high

power output and tight bass response.

But many guitarists prefer valve-based

recti ers, which are known for their “sag”

e ect – this basically means when you slam

a chord, it doesn’t reach its full volume right

away, but instead makes a tough initial

impact before quickly blossoming into a

classic rock ultimatum. With the BUGERA

TRIREC, both breeds of recti er are alive

and well in the same amp. You can even

use them at the same time! Choose Silicon

Diodes for high power and tight bass,

Valves (2 x 5U4 valves) for lower power

and the almighty “sag,” or a combination

of the two called Valves & Diodes for

medium-powered operation spiked with

equal parts punch and vintage grace.

Features

Good Things Come In Threes

Three is a recurring number when

it comes to the awesome features of the

TRIREC. There are three preamp channels,

each with three-band EQ, Presence, Volume

and Gain controls. Channel 1 gives you

pristine cleans and a DRIVE setting for a

dynamic crunch tone. Channels 2 and 3

give you three overdrive modes: Classic for

blues and classic rock sounds, Vintage for

more gain for hard rock, and Modern for

pure, maniacal metal. Five 12AX7 valves

give the TRIREC’s preamp stage the mojo

to cover this vast tonal palette. The output

stage contains 4 x 6L6 valves (convertible

to 4 x EL34 valves—not included).

What is Varipower?

There’s nothing like the roaring

“soft-clip” sound of saturated power

valves, but these tones are normally

accessible only when an amp’s volume

is cranked. Unfortunately, this kind of

volume isn’t an option when you’re

jamming away in your apartment at

3:00 am, or if you’re gigging in a tiny

club. That’s why the TRIREC features

the Varipower rotary control, which

adjusts output power anywhere from

1 to 100 Watts. Whether you’re trying to

record a searing solo without waking

the neighbors, or blowing the roof

o the biggest gig of your life, the

TRIREC is always ready to provide the

sound of overdriven valve fury.

The Back Story

The TRIREC’s incredible tonal

variations make it a recording studio

gem, but it’s got the features that

make it equally amazing on stage.

The back panel features a LINE OUT

jack with dedicated Level knob for

sending signal to a slave amp, as well

as Loudspeaker jacks with switchable

impedance (16, 8 or 4 Ohms), making

this ampli er compatible with

virtually any speaker cabinet.

The built-in FX Loop has controls

for adjusting the output (send) and

return levels separately. The associated

Assign knob has four states: FX loop is

always on, has an individual status per

channel, is activated via footswitch,

or is deactivated. You also get six

External Switching jacks that allow

channel switching, BOOST, REVERB and

FX LOOP to be controlled by an external

switching system. This is where you’ll  nd

the input for the FSB106A footswitch,

which also controls these parameters,

and o ers a MIDI IN /THRU connection

controlling the TRIREC in sync with your

MIDI setup.

INFINIUM Valve Life Multiplier

Technology

Our revolutionary INFINIUM Valve Life

Multiplier technology is like having your

very own technician inside your amp

constantly monitoring and tweaking valve

performance for the ultimate in tonal

integrity and reliability. This revolutionary

circuit not only optimizes the performance

of each output tube, it dynamically

balances the drive between them to more

evenly distribute the load. With INFINIUM,

your tubes last up to 20 times longer,

saving you substantial money over the

lifespan of your ampli er. INFINIUM also

compensates for the e ects of aging,

automatically adjusting current levels to

keep your valves sounding as good as the

day they were installed.

If and when a valve does reach the end

of its life, the system even tells you which

one to replace. All you need do is replace

the faulty valve and let INFINIUM take care

of the rest for you. This all adds up to more

consistent sound quality and longer life for

your valves. Maintenance for valve amps

has never been this easy!

Rectify Your Situation

“Heavy” is a relative term. The walls of

amps at Woodstock? Heavy. The stacks

used in modern metal? Colossally heavy.

Yet neither  avor of heavy shows any signs

of going out of style. This amp is loaded

with brutal power, but it can also be tamed

with unprecedented ease. Harness the

power of valve-based recti ers or silicon

diodes in a single amp, or combine them

for the best of yesterday and today with

the TRIREC. Give your tone the power

it deserves – plug into a TRIREC at your

nearest BUGERA dealer.
