Yeah man that amplifier is effing awesome. I still like it best with EL34 tubes. I dont recommend switching, but KT77s are another good option

Well man. You are going to be really happy. Up to this day it is still my main amp. I have a custom made Phaez amp, and an Awesome evans amp. The bugera sounds soo good in soo many styles that is just so versatile and awesome.

I have had my Bugera 333XL 2×12 combo for about 2 months now and I have to say THIS AMP ROCKS!!!. It can play anything from crystal clean smooth tone on the CLEAN Ch. or with a little patience and EQ tuning it will shred anything from highly distorted metal tones to ear piercing heavily distorted death metal tones and or ANYTHING IN BETWEEN. I have found my favorite tone( we all have that one favorite sound that we play the most) by adding a Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer pedal which I play on the clean channel with about 1/4 turn on the reverb, and the settings on the pedal at overdrive=8, Level at=4-6, and Tone depends on which guitar and or Pickups I am using. I mostly use my Ibanez RGR421EXFM with dual EMG HB’ers which is a metal monster to start but I also play my Fender American Deluxe Strat HSS and get killer tones from single coil cleans or killer distortion from the bridge HB. I love the affects loop. I use a line6 Pocket Pod that I loop via fx loop and use my pedals direct to front input. This way the pod doesn’t have any type of bypass so I can play my pod tones and affects with the fx loop with the step on the pedal of the bugera floor pedal or turn the loop off and use my other pedals direct. It is the perfect setup for me. I tested ALOT!!! of different tube amps and the 333XL combo just had every tone you could want and they ALL SOUND AS GOOD AS OR BETTER THEN ALOT OF AMPS TWICE THE PRICE. Does anyone know of any tubes other then the 6L6 or EL34 tubes. I use EL34 and love them but was curious if there is another tube that worked. LIFE IS TO SHORT NOT TO PLAY IT LOUD!!!!

Thanks’ for the info. I have been reading up on these different bugeras for a couple of weeks now and you all seem to be in line with what others are saying. I was thinking of going with one of the combos myself as I don’t play out anymore and only hold concerts in the family room these days. The combos seem to have the same features from what I have seen. Does anyone know of the EL34s come with combo version of the 333xl? I have looked at the 1960 and the 6260 and they come with lower outout versions of the 6l6 tube family.

After a month of numerous guitar store trips, taking back a couple of amps, I ordered the 333 XL Combo today. I was looking for a tube amp that is very clean for the days i want to use pedals/stomp boxes, but have the ability to grind out some awesome metal all by itself. I originally bought the Egantor tourmaster combo which was a nice amp overall. Chords sounded really good, but it didn’t have the bite when playing lead riffs. It sounded like an amps with the gain at 5 or 6. For that money, I couldn’t accept that and I didn’t want to rely on stomp box to do lead gain. My next purchase was a Line 6 MKII hybrid amp. It’s pretty cool, but sounds too solid state and not so clean. By day 1 of owning it, I was ready to swtich. I went to a store and tried our the 6260 combo and 333XL combo and was impressed. I love the 333XL because I can preset which channels use reverb. It played clean and the gain on the lead and crunch channel…..WOW! Awesome. I can turn on some reverb and play lead and it sounds great. The reverb works very nicely and I’m glad its digital. I’ve read about quaility issues with Bugera, but i believe that was the earlier days. They’re much, much better now.
I cannot wait to get this beast of an amp. By the way, the Line 6 MKII has some issues. its a brand new amp but the master volume knob has noise in it when turning up. Also, I hear some strange white noise when the guitar volume is down all the way. Wierd.
