Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a 120-watt, 3-channel(clean, crunch, lead) all-tube amp head. Each channel has it's own 3-band EQ and volume knob, with the crunch and lead channels also having independent gain knobs. Theh clean channel lives up to its name, providing warm, clear clean tones. Don't expect the cleans to have the same body or dynamic tone of, say, a Fender Twin-Reverb, but for most applications the 333's clean tones should be more than sufficient. And lets be honest, you're not buying this amp for the clean tones. So moving on to the overdrive channels, the first thing you should know is that the Bugera 333 is very similar to the Peavey XXX/JSX amps. What this should tell you is that this amp doesn't sound British/Marshall-esque at all. That being said, the crunch channel offers a surprising variety of tones, from a very mild, bluesy overdrive to a pretty high-gain roar perfect for most types of rock or even 80's metal. The lead channel offers an insane amount of gain for pretty much any style of metal or hard rock. By keeping the gain low on the lead channel, you can get enough distortion to play stuff like Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet for my Valentine, or certainly Metallica, while still having enough clarity to play a tasteful solo. Turn up the gain on the lead channel and you do start to lose some note definition in favor of insane fuzz; amateur shredder's delight.
A cool tone-shaping feature with this amp is the dampening switch, found on the back of the amp. This feature basically affects how "punchy" the bass tone is. Set on low, the bass is open and punchy. Set on high, the bass is very tight, focused, and deep. Medium is a pretty happy middle-ground.
Also note that this amp is switchable between 4,8, and 16 ohms to match any cab you'll be using.
In conclusion I'll add that this amp sounds great even at very low volumes, perfect for you late night/apartment players.
