Feature:
footswitch included. I really haven't needed to switch channels because I'm touring as a country guitarist. But the footswitch has 3 channels and verb... once you set it, you are good to go.

Quality:
I've been playing one on tour and have never had a problem, they are solid.

Value:
I think they priced these low, but thats great for guys like me and you. This amp is worth twice the selling price!

Desirability:
The head and cabinet are pure sex... I wanted one before I heard it. But after I used it, I had to have one.

Sound:
I use this amp for country music... yeah I know it's a metal amp... but dude! set the clean channel preamp volume at 10 and the post volume at 4, I set the bass at 10:00, mids at around 11-12:00 and the highs at 1:00, with verb at 50%... it's got killer country tone. I've been touring with a 333XL for the last 2 weeks and it's reliable, sounds excellent and its dead sexy!

Ease of Use:
totally playable amp, easy to set up and use. The switchable cab is very cool.

Overall:
I would have to buy another if it was stolen or lost in transit. I'm working this amp daily, on tour with several Nashville label acts. And the touring will tear up an amp quickly, so far no problems at all... these are solid amps. The tone is stellar. My only beef would be I want 2 clean channels... but I'm preatty sure I can mod that myself. For what I do I need super clean for pedal steel guitar, and this amp is a KILLER steel guitar amp!!! and also a slightly driven pre amp tube rattling sound, for the mainstream country stuff.

Feature:
The best feature is that it's three completely independent channels, with completely independent volume controls with a master volume to boost or decrease distortion and volume. And the presence control really goes from a crunchy dull sound to a crisp very sharp distortion.

Quality:
I don't want to sound like I'm plugging the product, but the amp is seriously gorgeous. It has a polished chrome finish, that the glow of orange illuminates through. I also bought the Bugera 4/12 cabinet and it is designed very similar to the Marshall slant cabinet but much prettier. Very solid design, which was a concern considering no one has one in stock to view first hand prior to ordering.

Value:
The price of the Amp was much less than any other head I've purchased: Ampeg, Hughes & Kettner and it blows the Ampeg away on value and matches the Hughes. So overall it's more than worth the money, price though is very subjective. Compared to most other amps, the Bugera is very much under priced. It's funny that it's in the price range of B52's and blows them away, sound and looks.

Desirability:
The sex appeal is equal to Mesa. Pretty metal contrasting black, what more could you want. Much better looking than a Marshall.

Sound:
The amp sounds thick. It has tremendous thick rich bass on the crunch. I have heard the amp compared to 5150 and Mesa, I'm not sure I would say that, because I don't have one near to compare. I have a 50 watt tube Ampeg Reverb Rocket with a 4/12 Ampeg cabinet and this blows that away. The clean is much nicer than a Marshall and the crunch is pretty close. The amp is very simple to set, plug it in and go. It also has one very cool feature that none of my other amps have, it allows you to change channels on the head or the peddle while the peddle is hooked up.

Ease of Use:
The product is very simple to use; however, I don't play effects through the amp so I can't say how friendly the effects will be?

Support:
I have dealt with Behringer on several purchases 2442 board, B212A speakers and 8500 microphones and they all work very well and sound great. Have owned all of them over 2 years no problems. Don't know about the Bugera amp as I've only owned it 5 days. Will let you know if I have a problem

Overall:
This is a tough subject because I was very satisfied with my Hughes & Kettner tube but bought this amp too. So, I don't ever plan on selling it unless I run into problems that are unresolved or not to my satisfaction.

Feature:
Yes the footswich is included and its built like a tank awsome deal the boost channel is a great plus for those of us who don't use fx loops.The noise gate is an exelent feature and works well to cut out un wanted noise cool beans The reverb is also a great feature it sounds killer and you can choose to have it on or off when you change yer channel also a cool feature the amp it self is set up well and its cake to use I am a firm believer in having plenty of options to choose so i do not feel that their are any least useful features this amp is killer it has it all and more

Quality:
made like a tank far as i can tell every thing works exelently time will tell how tough it is if it's as rugged as it sounds then it will be around for a very long time

Value:
best tube amp money can buy

Desirability:
looks as awsome as it sounds cool and shinny

Sound:
This amp rocks the "f"ing house down. Ive only had it for just over a week and i could not be happier.Great tube amp with all the warmth and clarity that you could ever find. Marshall who???????? I use a kustom 4/12 260 watt cab with celetions the amp and cab sound exelent togeather I haven't recorded with it yet but im looking forward to it I can set up and eq a sound in no time three channels yes awsome the guys at band practice are all drooling over this monster sounding amp I like alittle more distotion so i put my favorite stomp box and a crybaby and im in Heaven. from hendrix to disturbed to pantera or pinkfloyd this amp does it all I took a chance and ordered this amp and i am happy to say that i love this amp if your wondering if you should take a chance do it dont be fooled by the awsome price its the best part. BUGERA THE NEW BENCHMARK OF TUBE AMPS I have been playing for 25 plus years and have had many amps some tube some solid state this is by far my fav. of them all

Ease of Use:

Feature:
Well it's got everything I could ask for: clean, dist, and lead channels, nice reverb, ohm switchable head, FREE (with the amp) 4 button footswitch - the works!

Value:
HUGE value - $600 for an amazing high gain amp - if it was from a big name company it could still sell it for over a grand easy.

Desirability:
It's a very sexy amp! Beautifully made with orgasmic/organic tones. It truly is an amp worth lusting for! lol

Sound:
This amp is awesome! It has some sick metal tones (think COB), and a beautiful clean channel - amazing! xD

Overall:
For ever! I'll continue to replace the tubes when needed, and all other services as normal. This amp feels durable, I have gigged with it numerous times and it held up wonderfully. An excellent buy! 10/10
