Bugera 333XL-212 Guitar Combo Amplifier

The Bugera 333XL tone machine cranks out mind-blowing lead distortion and tight crunch due to its raw tone and massive power. Whether you want crystal clean punch, sultry smooth classic rock lead tones or that bone shattering metal crunch, the 333XL provides extensive tone shaping abilities with virtually unlimited dynamics in a three-channel configuration.

The 333XL-212's brutal power comes from 4 hand-selected and matched Bugera EL34 power valves. 4 Bugera 12AX7 valves in the preamp add up for terrifying punch and mind-rattling gain. Your fat and juicy guitar tone will sing through two highly respected custom Bugera 12-inch speakers, faithfully reproducing every nuance of your playing, right down to the fine reverb tails from one of two separate reverbs.

Each channel features Volume, Bass, Mid and Treble, while the Crunch and Lead offer additional Gain control. The XL builds on the 333 series with added XL tone shaping switches on the Lead and Crunch channels for super-fat valve tone and also includes a versatile noise gate. 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 valve combo 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 333XL-212.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
This amp is the real deal. It's a squared away quality slap in the face of all the fat cats that are selling us stuff that is way over-priced. You can bite the tone out of the air and chew on it when this amp is cranked. It can go from the cleanest, sweetest warm tube tone to the most offensive metal assault in just one aggressive foot stomp. I've got mine plugged into a 4 x 12 Hughes and Kettner 8 ohm cabinet. But, even with the 2 Bugera 12's, finally I have located the tone I've had in my head for years and I didn't have to make payments to make this dream come true. Marshall, Peavey, EVH, take notice: Someone is coming up fast behind you. Bugera is going to arm a whole new army of rockers. I LOVE IT!
Sound
WOW!
Quality
I'll put a Bugera up against any tube amp - period. The quality will make you feel guilty for getting a tube amp at this price. It really makes me wonder why I spent $3,000 for a Marshal.
Value
Unreal quality and performance in this price range. Bugera amps mean that nearly anyone can own a true all-valve rocking amp. With the dollar in trouble in Europe, I hope the Bugera will take off. Yeah - some people just have to have that Marshall stack. But, go find someone or somewhere that has a Bugera and plug in. You'll be amazed!

Haven't dealt with the company yet - it's built so well I probably won't have to.
