From Our Catalog
The Bugera 333 is the go-to guitar amp head for any rock, metal or hardcore band due to its raw tone, massive power and road-worthy reliability. Whether you want crystal clean punch, sultry smooth classic rock lead tones or that bone shattering metal crunch, the 333 provides extensive tone shaping abilities with virtually unlimited dynamics in a three channel configuration.
The 333’s brutal power comes from 4 hand-selected and matched Bugera 6L6 power valves. The 4 Bugera 12AX7 valves in the preamp add up for terrifying punch and mind-rattling gain.
Each channel features Volume, Bass, Mid and Treble, while the Crunch and Lead offer additional Gain control. We added Impedance switching to match virtually any speaker cabinet, from 4, 8 to 16 Ohms. Plus you’ll love the detail in the fine reverb tails. The amp comes with a four-way heavy-duty metal footswitch for channel and effects loop selection to tap your favorite effects.
This boutique-style amp is constructed using precision manufacturing, blended with our artisan hand assembly, so you can be confident it will stand the test of time. The next time you wield your axe, feel the Soul of Valves with the Bugera 333.

Bugera 333 Guitar Amplifier Head (120 Watts) Reviews
9 out of 10
"BUY NOW BEFORE THIS PRODUCT BECOMES KNOWN AND SKYROCKETS IN PRICE!!!"
Feature:
It comes with a foot switch that is great, only wish that the foot switch had a reverb button on it.
Quality:
I haven't had this head very long but it is fine. Might want to be careful of the chrome on the face of the amp, it feels like it may fall off easily. Just don't be abusive and it will hold up on you.
Value:
You will not find an 120 watt all valve amp out there for this price. You may see the peavey valveking at similar price but it doesn't compare to this amp. After playing on both this amp is louder, cleaner, and a lot heavier than the valveking.
Desirability:
This amp looks sweet, the valves glow orange and a bluish purple color. The power and standby light shine a very bright and brilliant blue. I walked into the drummer's house of my band and everyone's jaw dropped and they all thought I had to have paid at least a thousand for this thing, it looked so good.
Sound:
This amp creates great sound extremes, from brutal distortion to sparkling cleans. I play in a indie cover band and am starting a brutal deathcore band and it does both very well. At first went you plug it in the distortion may even sound to grimey and sludgey but mess with the knobs a little bit and your sound will become great. The reverb is not the most extraordinary reverb in the world but it is nothing to spit at, it gets the job done.
Ease of Use:
This thing is nice and easy. So basic, three channels:clean, crunch, and lead/distortion. The volume is sensitive as well as all of the other knobs. The only thing that isn't very sensitive is the gain knob on the crunch channel, the distortion is similar at all levels of that knob.
Support:
I sent to the company for advice on which amp to get. The company was very easy to deal with. I received an e-mail back the next day and it even had sound clips attached I didn't ask for. That's service right there.
Overall:
I plan on staying with this thing until it breaks on me. I love the tone and sounds it makes. I can play any style of music on it and it all sounds brilliant. There is no problem for this thing playing live in any kind of band. I was backup guitar in my indie band and had to turn down to three because I was overpowering the lead guitarist who had a Fender Hot Rod. I can't wait to start ripping out some brutal music and unleash this things real potential. BUY THIS AMP NOW!!!!!!!!!!

"Bugera IS the new IT but.... Nobody knows it yet."
Feature:
All the same features as a XXX plus it has reverb. Awesome.The only thing I didnt like about this amp is that the power chord is about 3 feet long.
Quality:
For the price you cannot beat it!!!
Value:
Awesome value.
Desirability:
Knobs are plastic. All though the knobs are plastic they have some kind of bendy effect to them so they dont break off like many XXX knobs I have seen break off. The Plastic silver things on the front of the amp near the logo came off the amp as soon as I got it out of the box. ( I took them off they didnt fall off) It looks very nice without them. The inside of the amp from what I saw looked very clean. No mess, no loose wires, no problems.
Sound:
Sounds BETTER than the XXX I sold to get it. The Clean is Cleaner than the XXX. The Crunch channel of the amp sounds like they blended Marshall and Peavey distortion together. It is very very usable. The Lead channel is heavy and heavenly. It sounds clearer than the ultra channel on a xxx. I did replace the preamp tubes with mesa boogie preamp tubes though. Keep that in mind please.
Ease of Use:
Um ok next question.
Support:
Havent had to deal with them... yet.
