Less than a year old. I believe released to U.S. sometime late 2007. I play a little bit of everything and this amp can do a GREAT job with different styles of music!
It has Three channels: Clean, Crunch, ultra, REVERB and a built In noise gate. Some people reviewed that the NOISE gate does nothing... Well, the noise gate on mine works just FANTASTIC!!! No noise at all when the distortion is really cranked!!! So sweet!! Its bassed on the Peavy JSX from what I have been told. It has an effects loop and A very nice heavy duty 4 button footswitch for the clean, crunch, lead, and fx loop! Came stock with EL34 tubes and is switchable to 6L6 but I would mos def. leave the el34's in! Sounds killer! 120 watts!

I like to play lots of different styles of music. This amp is great!! Its not noisy at all! The amps crunch channel is great! You can get lots of different sounds. The lead channel (ultra) is so sweet when you scoop the mids! It has some of the best sounding low end i have heard come out of a tube amp!! The clean with the reverb is just great!! Very nice, high headroom clean sounds!!! The distortion tho is just overall fantastic!
Amps I own:
1. Mesa Boogie triple rectifier (three channel)
2. Peavy Ultra Plus 120
3. Orange Tiny terry 15/7 watt
4. Blackheart Little Giant 5watt
The cab that I own is a Marshall 1960 w/ Vintage 30's!
The amp has such its own voice, I LOVE IT!!!!
Reliability
:
No Opinion
Just got it. Its made in china, who knows. Behringer is the company that is selling Bugera's products (amps) and it has a 1 year manufacture warranty. Seems built very good. Only thing that I really dislike is the fact that the amp has PLASTIC knobs!!! Thats right plastic! My mesa has metal knobs... O well. Works perfect still and looks very stylish!!

I have been playing for 5 years and I have a good taste of what I think sounds good! I own a small Tube amp collection and this thing is so sweet! I could not ask for more in an amp for what I paid for this 333xl! If it were stolen I would be pissed. Who wouldnt be?? I love that the amp sounds as good as it looks. I was a little worried right before I pluged my Dean Vendetta 3.0 neck through body with a Seymour Duncan jb bridge pickup in. I didnt know what to expect. But I can honestly say I am blown away with how awsome the amp is!!!
