These things are pretty sweet for the money. Nice clean channel and reverb. I bought at $299 last fall.

Extra 5% off with adorama card, but for some reason the card hasn't worked there for me for some time now, just says 'there was an error, try refreshing'

Does anyone know what these are "based on"? Is it going for a Diesel, Princeton, Vox, etc design?

Robert, they are visually similar to a Vox Night Train, but i'm not sure about the sound. I have this Bugera and it sounds great and would highly recommend it. Especially with the emulated out, you can get a great sound direct into a sound interface without micing up a speaker cab.

Newbie here and I've been using a $30 dollar battery powered amp for 6months now. Can i use this tube amp as a stand alone amp and be fine?

This isn't a combo unit, so you're gonna need a guitar speaker to go with it. A Harley Benton cab with Celestion speakers is a great choice:

I think this amp is probably WAY MORE than you need in some areas, and perhaps lacking in some areas you might appreciate more.
I've been playing 20+ yrs, and playing in a band I currently use a Mesa Boogie mini rectifier for my head. It can run at 25 Watts, but I run it at 10 watts pushing a 2x10 cab and have no trouble keeping up with our drummer or bass player.
I used to run the Bugera V55 HD, but it was way too much, and SO HEAVY! lol.
I still own the Bugera T5 infinium, and it pushes my 2x12 cab nicely with those 5 watts! I will mention the T5 is kind of lacking a clean channel.

This T55 is better suited to push a 4x12 cab at ear bleeding levels, or perhaps even a full stack. It can probably attenuate lower, but why buy so much more than you need?
If you are a new guitarist, I might suggest a nice combo amp unless your needs dictate something totally different.

Any idea if it would sound good feeding this into a mixer that's hooked up to a studio monitors + sub setup? Or is the guitar speaker crucial to getting the right sound?

This is a real tube amp, and has no ability to emulate a speaker or cab which you would probably want if hooking up directly to a PA unit. I think you would get much better results if you ran it through a cab and mic'd it, or choose something better suited for that like a headrush or Helix pedal.

Before the fancy ME pedals many including myself used a tech21 for that sort of use case:

So would it be correct to say that a Boss ME-80 or similar would be a good home setup with studio monitors, and will do all the emulation I'd need? Or is a tech21 unique for this use case? Appreciate your insights, and I can do some of my own research once I'm going in the right direction.

Well, that depends: do you like the sound of a fried mixer? Wink

We're talking about a speaker-level output here, not line-level! It's way more power than the inputs on your mixer are designed to handle, and your mixer will be releasing the magic smoke if you try to connect it directly.

You could use a load box to bring the signal level down to a level where you can safely connect this to a mixer, but honestly, this probably isn't what you're looking for. You'd have a lot easier time just using a sim of some sort. There's two main types of sims: amp sims and cab sims. You'll need both, but a lot of them can do both jobs. There's a huge range of them, from something as simple as a $45 Vox amPlug (here's a demo of one plugged straight into a computer [youtube.com]), to a $150 Joyo Preamp House, to a $400 ToneX, to a $1700 Quad Cortex.

Yes, pretty much all multi-effects units these days have speaker/cab emulation so you can plug it straight into studio monitors.
