Sorry to revive a dead thread, but those of you considering these amps should check out this video.

The audio is just a little but noisy on the high gain settings, but that's likely because he recorded this from the effects loop out straight into a computer recording interface. Also, he has replaced the tubes in his amp with Eurotubes. But he commented that the amp still sounded killer even before the tube replacement.

The only thing the jury is out on here is reliability. There's a lot of negativity about them over on the Harmony Central forums...like that's anything new. That place is The Death Star of negativity. But so far most of the people bitching about 'em seem to fall into one of two categories.

A. I have a negative opinion to offer even though I've never played through one (this is the most common by far).

B. They are on repair benches in record numbers all over the free world even though I cannot give you the name/number of any repair shops to verify this with.

So basically, we're still waiting to hear from end users as to how these sound and whether or not they are reliable.

Uh, names and numbers?  I don't have an opinion on these amps one way or another, but since when did H-C reviews require footnotes?

I've saw ads from guys selling their 5150 after buying the Bugera 6260.  I have read their quality isn't nearly as good as Peavey though.

I know a guy in Birmingham with a 333XL, it sounds pretty good, but the Bugera cab sux, he plugged the head into a Marshall 1960 cab, and the sound floored me. Maybe after they've been out a couple of years and the price jumps up over a grand per head/combo they'll get their due.

Sounds like I can pick up more 5150s! I am up to 3. You can keep your "Buger" amps. Send me your 5150s. I have cash!

I've had Behringer gear for years.  I'm using a LX1200H V-Ampire and a  V-amp Pro, Eurorack MX2004A, and their Reference amp 500A.  I've had no problems with this stuff.. In fact the LX1200 I got at Musicians Friend from their does not work pile at their clearance center.  Not a thing wrong with it  90 bucks... the other guitarist in my band got a LX210 from the pile too.. didn't work.. went back got another bad one and put the two together. 60 bucks total.  Behringer is just like any other company... You have to try it.  all companies can make bad stuff.

OK, sorry to re-revive this thread, but I'm getting a 333xl in a couple of months. Some of you guys know I had some gear stolen from me and the insurance company ripped me a new one. I've made a couple of posts about amps I was interested in, but with the economy the way it is, I'll have to save up for at least a year or two to get a "high end' amp. I've played through the 333xl both at a friends house, and at the GC in Birminham and Atlanta, all through diffrent cabs, and beside different amps. The 333xl sounds similar(voiced like?) a Mesa Recto, and PVxXx, but doesn't sound EXACTLY like either one. So why is everyone saying "The Bugera is a CLONE of brand X"? Why isn't it just an amp thats VOICED like brand x, like the PVxXx is VOICED like a Mesa? Oh, and by the way , my friend in Birmingham gigs with his, and he say's it was the best money he's EVER spent on an amp, period. He still wants a JCM800 Kerry King sig model, but says he's gonna keep his Bugera.

Edit: BTW, I'll be getting a Lopo Line 4x12 cab, and am loading it with Eminence Swamp Thang's.
