Product Review Had my Bugera a year and a half now.. solid amp, really have the sound I want dialed in. Cleans are shiney and clear, crunch channel is really good, lead channel is nasty and pierces through the mix. Very happy still, I have the bugera 412ts cab and pairs perfect.

Product Review Short and sweet... BEAUTIFUL,WARM CLEANS,Best Reverb I've heard...EVER. NOW, The Crunch/Lead Channel,Along with the built in Noisegate have You Covered for Any Song if You're in a Working Cover Band.Period The XL switch gives a Nice,Rich Boost to your Tone for Leads without getting Noisey or Muddy. If you put a TS8 OR 9 IN front of the Preamp... This Amp RIVALS ANY HI $ HI-GAIN AMP MADE!!.Think ENGL SAVAGE BEASTY!!! ?????? This Amp is my HOLY GRAIL NOW. ZERO ISSUES,NO COMPLAINTS. Get One Before You CAN'T ANYMORE.... No news of Production Stopping, But, Why Take The Chance!!!!

Product Review This head is wicked, the dirty channels are just what i was looking for with playing the variety of rock that my band plays.I looks gorgeous it sounds like a beast ive always played non tube marshall heads but since i got this my marshall is just for backup only now and the price wow cant believe it it sounds like a 2500.00 dollar head.

Product Review It does what I need. 3 channels plus a boost. I run several analog pedals through the front end, and it's a beast of tube goodness. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars was, the noise gate doesnt work all that well in the higher gain settings.

Product Review I have had this amp for a while now and it has proven itself. Nowadays products keep going up in price creating the false pretense that you need to spend high price's to get exceptional equipment , and I have done so many times . But , Bugera has done it at a reasonable price .I have other Bugera products and have not had any problems with any of them .Can't say the same for other equipment I own that cost me 3 or more times the amount . I did replace the Bugera tubes to tubes I prefer , other then that , this amp is solid , it rocks , and is another keeper . AMS is great !!

Product Review I received this AMP and WOW was I blown away, unbelievable clean sound and plenty of room for soft to down right dirty crunch and lead. I plugged into the Randall 4x12 cab and hooked up the Dimebag distortion pedal thought the windows in the house were going to shatter. This AMP is more than worth the $$$ I've been making noise for 20 plus years I love this thing Bugera thank you and thank you AMS for always awesome service. By the way just purchased another Randall 4x12 cab from AMS this will now be a full stack and probably destroy the windows.

This amp sounds Great

Product Review The Amp is very versatile, Excellent clean channel Very chunky Rhythm Channel and a Screaming Lead Channel. The only drawback and it's minimal is the 5 pin din switch, With today's processor's and being able to change channels via midi to an effects unit and having the effects unit change the amp channel via TRS cable The Bugera is a pulse on switch so you must purchase a Voodoo Labs switch controller for about 140.00 extra to simplify things. All in All this Amp Rocks. It my new mainstay.

Product Review When Europe or The United States engineers something ..... regardless of where it's built, it turns out to be pretty AWESOME! Asian built means more affordability in this case, not diminished quality. Bugeras are German Engineered not to mention that Behringer is a Swiss Engineer himself! These amps are total work horses stock!

Product Review I had recently purchased a Marshall Code 100/4X12 and the amp was cool but didn't have the punch i desired. I had researched a few tube heads and finally decided on the Bugera and what amp it is. Bugera has all the warmth and tone i was looking for and more. I play thru various guitars and they all sound awesome on all 3 channels. Now the Marshall just sits there, maybe someday I'll find a use for it, but for now the Bugera Rocks!!!!

Product Review The Bugera Head 333XL is perfectly developed into a raw and exquisite amplifier with fierce tone and impeccable qualities such as the noise gate, and the tonation of mids, treble and reverb it provides. I highly recommend this amp for players who decide to work with a brand that’a as durable like Marshall. I’m happy to own these amps and I continue to use this in my music career.

Product Review First, very impressed with American Musical. They answered all my questions thoroughly. If you are looking for a well-build, sturdy tube amp that you can play a variety of music with, then this is your amp! This amp screams! (Which is what I was looking for) With Three channels giving me a sparkly to spanky clean tones that don't break up, to a halfway dirty Crunch and tight, compressed Lead that offers sustain and a robust bottom end, I am able to play a variety of different styles from blues to face melting metal. In addition, love having the adjustable noise gate on the lead channel. Comes with footswitch, effects loop, and tube indicator to let me know which tube may be going out. Would definitely recommend the Bugera! Above all it's affordable, I can get sounds that are the same as some amps that are triple in price!

Product Review This is a great sounding amp it is very versatile. I like that channel 2 and 3 have a volume and game and there is a overall master volume. The clean channel on this amp sounds really good. Great-aunt for playing good old rock and roll but it will do heavier stuff.

Product Review The Bugera 333 head is just as described. The clean tones are full from top to bottom with very little muddling. The crunch and lead channel are distinctly different, with the noise reduction being quite responsive on the gain channels. Very versatile from country to metal ( With a few added pedals). This head is definitely worth the price

Product Review I recently purchased this 333XL for two reasons. First, for a little extra headroom at stage volume, and Second, for the versatility of 3 channels. Well, Bugera did not disappoint. This thing is CRAZY loud and it can get Mean! I love it! I had no problems with shipping and delivery. The head was packaged very well. I plugged it into two Bugera 212TS cabs. Extremely easy to dial in. Each channel's tone controls are VERY responsive. Seriously, I was able to find the sweet spots in each channel within a matter of moments. The channel volumes dialed in easily to balance with each other and the master volume works well, even when I push it up loud, don't have to tweak very much. Everything works flawlessly. The Clean channel is beautiful, The XL buttons on both the Crunch and the Lead channel really give the tone some definition. Much more gain than I had expected (BONUS!) The gain is very responsive and controllable. Big thick sound with endless gain and soaring overtones.

Product Review I own a B-52 100 watt solid state amp head and a Black Star 100 watt tube amp head. The Bugera has much better sound, highs and lows, especially playing metal. Its exotic looking and "kicks ass". All I can say is crank it up and Rocks still lives here in Georgia.

Your general opinion of this product. This amp is a beast , the sound is just a smash mouth distortion with ultra clean tones very surprising and very comparable to many other brands I've played over many years. This product is very well made and super dependable. The sounds are heavy , chunky , and clean . If you purchase this awsome amp you will love it. I've only had it a week but I took and used it at a gig instead of taking my Marshall JCM800 and this thing delivers so I know it will stand the test of time and be very reliable.

Your general opinion of this product. This amp does everything I need: Great cleans, a Marshall-esque Crunch channel, and a nice modern Mesa-ish Lead channel. I have done away with all of my dirt pedals and my EQ and noise gate with this amp, as I feel they are no longer needed. Although I have heard some horror stories, I have had zero problems so far. This amp feels very solid. The Tolex is very nice, and the chassis is nice and heavy. The stock tubes were fine, but I did decide to swap out a couple of the power tubes for some 6L6s, and I have a vintage RCA 12AU7 in the PA position. I also installed Tung Sol reissue 12AX7s in the preamp section. The mix of the 6L6s and EL34s seems to be a happy medium for the US vs British sound. The Tung Sols seem to smooth out the fizz in the overdrive. The action was go. No stains yet. ;) So far, so good.

Your general opinion of this product. Good clean channel, and great crunch and lead channels. This amp sounds so mean. I match up with celestion v30's and maxon 808OD. For the tone, features, and power, the price is a steal. I own several Bugera Amps, have had a few issues that were resolved. Tons of tonal variety. Warranty for 3 years.

This amp is unbeatable. It was definitely built to last. You cant stop this amp. Throw it down a flight of stairs and flip on the switch and rock your socks off. Your general opinion of this product. Like I said. Unbeatable This amp operates like a dream. sounds great on every channel with the ability to tweak them any way you would possibly wish. Unbeatable sharp metal tone with the ability to clean it up beautifully. looks f**kin sick. played awesome right out the box people. Im not screwing around. buy this amp

This thing is built to last. Mine has never given me a moment to worry about. Your general opinion of this product. This is a well made, well designed amp. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a great tube amp at a budget price. 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. 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. Played well right out of the box.

im sure being an inexpensive amp it will have its underlining flaws as does everything this amp is solid quality and road tested and holds up like a champ played 15 gigs with this amp and it rivals my friends 6505+ actually it sounds better ( maybe my friend isnt too good at dialing in tones) Your general opinion of this product. this amp hold up great and the tone is great plays great and feels more expensive than it is lead channel is the winner on this amp such a nice crisp gain looks more expensive than it is which is nice tolex is good knobs are great plugged in and played like a dream

I have only had it a few weeks. So far so good! I have only had it a few weeks. So far so good! Your general opinion of this product. Best amp in its price range and class. Very versatile and built well. Looks like a $2,000 amp. Amazing! Great tube sound. I play a lot of dream theater which requires every sound out there. And this amp does it! It has a lot of chrome and has the appearance of a very expensive amp. Very nice. Great sound and 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. 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!!! 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. Its very heavy and i didnt expect that. 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. 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. NA
