ok now that everyone has argued about who makes what and all that, can someone who bought a bugera please post a review of the amp. i dont care who makes what or any of that crap. does it sound good? seem solid? any issues so far?

not sayin the other info isnt important, but no one has said anything about the sound or dependability of a bugera, just behringer and even if they share a parent company bugera is bugera and behringer is behringer. just like lexus and toyota

I've played a couple more shows since the initial review, and I still love my 333XL.

here's my original thread.

Hope that helps.

What about the tubes being "hand-picked" to get the tone and all that? have you tried replacing the stock tubes with any other brand ones?

I haven't done anything to the amp other than play it just yet. Sounds great as is. I always have extra preamp tubes and an extra el34 on havd at shows "just in case" but everything seems good so far.

When I do get around to tube changing time, I may opt for the KT77 tubes over the EL34 tubes though. I don't wanna go 6L6 to take away that obnoxious English growl I love so much but would like just a bit more bottom.

But that's at a later date for sure.

I've been using Behringer gear for years with no problems. My stage amp is a 333xl head which I love the sound of and haven't had to do anything to, not even replace tubes. I've also used the V-Amp (my old stage rig was a rack system with the V-Amp Pro) and FCB foot controller-again, no problems. The only thing I won't use are the stompboxes. A little too fragile-looking for me! Have to go with Boss and MXR for pedals. Other than that, can't really complain!

this may sound pretty stupid but once, I was going to buy the 333xl head instead of the engl powerball I ordered...because of the shitty knobs I said fuck off but tone whise, these things can be a real kick in the ass! finally i've got myself a Hughes & Kettner switchblade with a randall cab and i'm really fuckin stoked with it! even if I run a boss overdrive for a little extra gain, its an amazing amp!

I have had my Behringer GMX1200 Vtone 1/2 stack for about 5 years now and use it every day for practicing and never had a problem.I crank the shit out of it too and the Jensen speakers sound great.
Its no more than a low priced SS amp but better sounding than most.The California amp setting is damn good for a ss amp.
Tons of capabilties for pulgging into a mixer or recording eqip.

Ive heard the Bugera amps are basically cheap & nasty ,ie dodgy soldering & wiring.Also they use plastic pots so any serious hit to the front has the potential of snapping one ,also known to blow & fry power valves as well so you basically get what you pay for. Plus they only have a 12 month warranty behind them which says alot.

so you've heard that? There are quite a few Bugera owners in this thread who seem quite happy with the amps, experienced guys who aren't just gushing over their very first tube amp, so it's more than just heresay & regurgitated internet conjecture being presented in this thread. Have a read through the rest of the thread

"serious hit to the front"? When the hell would that happen? If you can't tend your gear properly you should suffer the consequences.

right on bro! still loving mine! get a 10 eq, delay, good cables also speaker cable helps and this amp jams.
