Bugera 333XL-212 INFINIUM Guitar Combo Amplifier (120 Watts, 2x12")

Deadly power courses through the Bugera 333XL-212 Infinium Combo embuing you with the tonal crunch of your wildest dreams.

The Bugera 333XL / 333XL-212 is the big brother to the 333 Series, with four key additions:

- Overall active Presence control.
- Comes loaded with EL34 power tubes for a more compressed, tighter midrange.
- Noise Gate on Lead channel. This is an ANALOGUE gate that will never close or shut you off in a clean passage. It is designed to decrease high frequency noise and hiss without changing your tone and it works loads better than a lot of competitors' gates.
- XL switch on Crunch and Lead channels. The XL function will add more "chunk" to your sound. You can add some thunder to the combo version to more closely emulate a 412 cab, thicken the sound of single coil pickups or add sustain to single-note melodic passages.
After that, this design is much like the 333 with three fully independent channels: A totally Clean channel that won't break up; a Crunch channel for a "halfway dirty" rock and blues tone (or crank the gain for a metal rhythm tone); and a Lead channel with the same structure as the Crunch channel, but with access to more gain. Each of these channels has its own volume feeding the overall master volume, giving you total control over the level of each.

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 the ultimate in tonal integrity and reliability. This revolutionary circuit not only read more 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!

So I recently bought the Bugera 333xl with infinium technology. If you do not know what that is Bugera is the only company that has it so research it because this product is worth buying based on that alone. But I want to hit on the sound. I saw this amp compared to ENGL amps online and was outperforming them in my book but today I tried out a Mesa Boogie combo that had all the same features minus the infinium technology. I tried it out with a Schecter C-1 Hellraiser Diamond series which is the same I have at home and they were comparative, the Bugera though is much more affordable and has a better look if you are into that sort of thing....so stop reading reviews and purchase this amp...
