Bugera 333-Infinium Guitar Amplifier Head (120 Watts)

No longer available at zZounds
Feel the power of four 6L6 valves with the Bugera 333-INFINIUM. With three distinct channels of scorching sound, the heavier the better.

The 333 and 333-212 Infinium are cutting-edge, modern style Bugera amps fully featured for use in any situation or guitar style-the harder the better. The name says it all 3, 3, 3... three fully independent channels for three fully independent gain structures and tone stacks.

Channel Your Soul

The totally clean Clean channel that won't break up... great for jazz, country, blues and also great as a fat clean power base for players using external boxes for their OD and distortion. The Crunch channel can work as a "halfway dirty" sound for rock and blues if you crank the volume and use the gain as your volume. It shines as the heavy rhythm channel for a metal rig if you crank the gain. The Lead channel has the same structure as the crunch channel but with access to even more gain.

Each of these channels has its own volume feeding the overall master volume so you have total control over the level of each. The EQ section allows for unlimited tone shaping and big scooped out metal tones via the midrange control. The boost option of the FX loop allows you to set each channel at the same volume and then boost or cut the volume of the entire amp no matter what channel is selected- you can finally boost your rhythm or clean tone (yes, clean solos do happen).

Infinium Valve Life Multiplier Technology

Bugera's revolutionary Infinium Valve Life Multiplier technology is like having your very own technician inside your amp constantly monitoring and tweaking valve performance for read more 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 amplifier. Infinium also compensates for the effects 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!

I have read a lot of BAD things about Bugera. I, also have a mind of my own. Don't even take the reviews on forums into consideration. Bugera amps have had some issues in the past. Bugera amps will continue to have issues, just like ANY other electronic piece of equipment. That being said, this head can do it all! The clean is almost fender tube clean. The volume acts as a gain, so you can get a little grunge here too. The crunch channel does bluesy classic riffs, or a higher gain. The high gain on the crunch channel is similar to the lead, just a little more compressed. The lead channel has a monsterous amount of gain. The eq is very active. The Noise gate works ok.. I recommend an external gate in the loop as well. The tone of this amp is amazing! Better than a lot of the higher end amps that I have played over the years!

Sound
The tone of this thing is excellent. Very warm, and sort of dark. Awesome for anything from blues to metal!

Features
The noise gate works OK.. but for an analog gate in a cheap head, what do you expect?

Ease of Use
This head takes all sorts of pedals very well! Works with any pickup combo. Single coils seem to make more noise. Then again, why use single coils on a "metal" geared amp?

Quality
The exterior seems to be very sturdy. At almost 50lbs, it better be sturdy! The tolex covering is very nice with a leather handle. Some of read more the accents are plastic.. but i don't like the look of em anyway. Take em off! Not sure on reliability yet. I've only had it for 2 days!

Value
This is extremely comparable to higher end peavey/mesa amps. Excellent value even if it only lasts a year!

Manufacturer Support
Behringer/Bugera have excellent customer serveice. I spoke with a rep just to get some more info on their products.

The Wow Factor
Very nice looking. This head looks expensive.

Musical Background:
