The controls are well laid out and set up is easy.

This amp covers it all. With 3 channels you can get what ever tone you are looking for. The clean channel is near perfection.
Finish

The coverings accent with the grill front looks like this amp means business. Metal corner covers also add great protection and add to the look.

Stinky Toms Bugera....

Its around 55 pounds and the shell is tight and all there. Just as tight as 3000 buck amp. The tolex on it is very lush looking. I dont think i have seen tolex on any amp that looks this nice.
Reliability

Im sure the shell will take a beating, but dont know about the guts. Im anot a tech so even if i looked at the guts i wouldnt know. just have to buy it, use it and see. If the guts are anything like the shell, then its gotta to be top notch. the knobs are plastic but so what. Most fenders,vox and so on has plastic knobs. The d@#n Plastic knobs should not be an issue!!!
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
I dont do reviews but, i figured i would do this one to maybe help others. I owned the 1st Generation 333xl. It sounded great just like this one but, After i owned it for about 2 weeks The sound started fading in and out. Yes, the big bugera problem!! I knew it was just the plastic PT clip and i knew i could fix it with no problem But, after about 30 days of telling myself it was cheap i sent it back. I have regreted it. Ive owned this one for about 3 days and have put a lot of playing time on it with no problems-yet-. Ive been playing for 25 years and owned a lot of amps From 10watt cheap 6inch combos to 3000 dollar tube amps from solid state to tube, and this amp sounds just as well if not better then most of them, and thats why i bought it. BTW i am in no way, a endorser of bugera and in no way work for bugera and in no way am i trying to push bugera amps to anyone. I bought my amp just like anyone else and am just a everyday consumer.
Playability and Feel

Its very heavy and i didnt expect that.
Tone

tones great, if you crank it, it gets that very satuated hi gain tone. You can plug different preamps in fron of it and get lush sounds. It has lots and lots of beautiful mids.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
As i said above, i dont think ive ever seen tolex this nice before. The grill is hard and not cheap, if your were to punch the front or back grill it would probably hurt your hand before it bent the darn thing.
