Style of Music: Forget about styles! I play good music!

Experience: Active Musician

"Long for loud, short on cash? Or just wanting kickass tones? HERE! HERE!"

Sound:

Basically this thing brought the missing ingredient to my crunch tones. The clean channel is mighty nice, and the crunch channel will serve your metal needs as well as meek overdrives. Each channel having their own VERY active EQs making sure you can get whatever you want out of it. The lead channel has more gain you'll ever need, which on the other hand is good - you don't want to run out of it when you need it. The XL switch adds an ever so slight low mid boost. It comes through pretty distinctively in a band mix. This thing can play nice, low volumes without losing the tone... However, you needn't worry about playing loud enough either. This thing doubles as a wrecking crew.

Feature:

The baby has a footswitch including each channel and the FX loop. Unlike some sources suggest, this amp DOES NOT remember which channel you had the FX loop on and which not. However, the built-in reverb will. The toy has a master presence and master volume, and the lead channel has a noisegate which cleans the sound up quite a bit, but not all the way. The FX loop has input and output controls, and the amp also features a lineout. And, high and low gain inputs for your guitar. Basically I was mostly disappointed by the FX loop thingy, because I was looking for an assignable FX loop, hence losing the master point from the rating. However... dude, you still get a million sounds out of it!

Ease of Use:

I didn't have a hard time finding my tone with this thing. The funny thing was that I had to cut down the gain quite a bit when using the lead channel, because the rate and quantity of the distortion is HUGE! The instruments I use have EMG active pickups, so that of course throws in its own monkeywrench where this review is concerned. At any rate... It shouldn't be any difficult than any other hand. I might cut off a point for the fact that while the reverb is assignable, you have to reassign it every time you turn the amp off. On a final note, they advertise the tubes being easily replaceable if you wished to use the alternative. Just replace the tubes, switch the biase switch and you're ready to go.

Quality:

I would say it's spotless where this category is concerned. Sure, there will be people complaining over the plastic knobs, but it wouldn't be the only amp with that. What might be worrysome is how the pots move around kinda easily. It will remain to be seen how easily those may break. Other than that, this amp looks like it was built to take a few knocks... Stupid me put it in the back of my station wagon standing, and on some turn it fell over... Well, it could take that.

Manufacturer Support:

I exchanged a number of emails with these guys, not always being very coherent, I admit. However, they addressed every point and every suggestion I had, and I really felt I was talking to a proud worker instead of an office rat. That felt really nice. And, thanks for the T-shirt, Bugera team. ;) So, I haven't had any problems with my amps yet... And while the customer service is good, don't we all hope we never have to deal with them? ;)

Value:

I suppose any other manufacturer would charge much more for this toy! Behringer is always Behringer, and they have their reputation. However... it looks like they've really blown up the bank this time. You don't get these tube tones with this money! I would probably get another Bugera if I had to. And I AM considering about getting the head version of this too. Surely the reliability will remain to be seen, but I'm not exactly worried.

The Wow Factor:

This thing has the brightest LEDs you'll ever see. ;) Seriously, though. It looks very sleek, and the logo on the grid looks very nice aside from the fact that it's plastic... Who cares, actually? It still looks damn good. Of course, the word Behringer being associated with this thing, the sex appeal gets a big, BIG hit... But I really suggest you give this thing a testdrive before dissing it!

Overall:

Well, the thing that would make me seek for another toy altogether would probably be the assignable FX loop thing. There is, to my knowledge, ONE manufacture that creates assignable FX loops. However, I think I can learn ro live without my chorus (I came from multi effects processors to this). But at any rate... You want a versatile amp? This is your toy! I've played gigs which required a really low overdrive from me, and this amp delivered. I've played gigs with required a moderate distortion that covers all the bases, and this amp delivered... Hell, I had to play downright metal, and this amp delivered! All this while maintaining a pristine clean, uh, clean channel! This thing is worth a shot, and I feel it was worth the buy too! I would probably go for another Bugera if I needed to get another amp for a reason or another.

Bugera 333XL-212 Guitar Combo Amplifier (120 Watts, 2x12 in.) Customer Review

Sound:

The sound that this this puts out is UNBELIEVEBLE. The clean is nice and bright, but the Lead Distortion is, well, CRISP. the harmonics come out VERY nicely from this amp. It is definitely the best amp i have ever used, and i plugged a Squier into it, because i didnt have my Ibanez handy.

Feature:

3 channels, two inputs, and a lotta knobs.

Ease of Use:

It's an amp. Plug and play.

Quality:

The sound is unbelievable.

Manufacturer Support:

The guys at the store answered my questions.

Value:

This amp is worth way more than they sell it for.

The Wow Factor:

I got a Tone-r as soon as i plugged it in.

Overall:

Once i buy this, I'll probably never use another amp.

"Bugera-is steal a trial&errow in motion"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Sound:

The sound qualtiy isn't the problem with this amp.

Feature:

The feathures may need to be checked for default.

Ease of Use:

Found it user friendly.

Quality:

I beleave that Bugera hasn't quite got the clithes out of this amp yet!The problem I beleave and through my experiance with testing the amp, under the 60 day warrenty provided by same days music is when useing the crunch and lead channel with reverb and the boost on after a period of running the tubs hot this amp will shut down and clear itself back to the clean channel with no notice.After making weird noises like thumping crackling sound noise in the process of it clearing its pannel.I Also beleave that these amps really have an over heating problem,that need to be adreasd.I beleave this could activate the switching off the Boost&reverb.

Manufacturer Support:

Sounds promising, but I will let you know how it ends.Didn't get satisfaction exspecially by it being a holliday.The sale was more important then revieling the dis continue-uns of the product in that store.Phone conversations were not corrsponding with sent email from merchant.As of that result I felt mislead.They have responded to emails ,so Im waiting for a pickup,so I can get credit to finnally move on and get my christmas! when ever this happens.

Value:

This probbly would be a steal once they got all the malfunction kinks out of the amp.they need at lest one more year to perfect.I would exspect it should be reliable.The way this amp is also boxed from the factory,may contribute to some of its down falls.Lets face it sometimes these items get roughed up quite a bit durning transit.Handel with care Lables should be a givin exspecially with electronics that support tubes & curcuit boards.These items need more protection bottom line this is were they also fall short.

The Wow Factor:

This is a very nice looking amp.I wouldn't change any apperence on this amp its very hot looking on a cab.This deffently was a big selling point for me.

Overall:

I may wait it out at least until Bugera souves these issues.Mean while I still need something relible,until I get my Traynor fixed.

"THIS AMP IS JUNK!"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Sound:

This amp sounded awesome when it worked. The tones were on par with much more expensive amps.

Feature:

The included footswitch was great.

Ease of Use:

This amp was very easy to navigate.

Quality:

I HAD TWO OF THSES AMPS. THEY BOTH WENT OUT ON ME. THE FIRST ONE WAS COVERED BY SAMEDAYMUSIC'S 60 DAY POLICY, THE OTHER WAS NOT. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE FRONT COME ON BUT THE TUBES WON'T LIGHT. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS AMP. GRANTED THIS IS A BUDGET AMP BUT IT SHOULD BE RELIABLE! THIS AMP NEVER LEFT ITS SPOT ONCE IT GOT HOME. I WILL NOT PURSUE WARRANTY THROUGH BUGERA AS I DON'T EVEN WANT ANOTHER ONE OF THESE!! THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED TO A FRIEND OF MINE ALSO. DO NOT GET THIS AMP! IT'S JUNK!

Manufacturer Support:

DON'T KNOW. I WOULD RATHER USE THIS AMP AS A BOAT ANCHOR THAN GET ANOTHER ONE THROUGH THEM.

Value:

JUNK!

Overall:

JUNK!
