They're made by the same people as Behringer aren't they?
Look like good value for money but I have no first hand experience of them. Read some positive stuff about them on the 'net, for what that's worth.

Yeah, they're Behringer's valve amp brand. I've heard good things about them. Wouldn't mind trying one for myself.

Mike sold his head to me and I sold it to Boab. I didn't have it long but remember it sounding good, quite Fender-y. Built cheaply though, I stuck some masking tape to the tolex and it kind of melted it a bit.

Bugera 333XL has been my primary amp for a few years now. It's great.

The masking tape melted, or the tolex?
Or the amp melted?

Coping with heat buildup seems to be a common thing with cheaper valve amps. I remember the stories of people getting full-on burns from Ashdown's budget valve guitar amps a few years back from trying to adjust the settings; the knobs were chrome domes and apparently the amps would get so hot that touching them was extremely painful.

I've used the 333XL on a metal album, a punk album, and some southern rock stuff. it's basically a Peavey JSX, which by nature has this weird mid thing going on, but it works out pretty cool in a band situation - i prefer straight up 5150/6505 for metal/hardcore stuff.
The 333XL clean channel is really good.
all these peavey amps are from a similar vein:
Ultra 120
5150/6505 (Bugera 6260)
5150 II/6505+ (Bugera 6262)
Triple XXX (Bugera 333)
JSX (Bugera 333XL)

Tolex. I said melted, but it was like the glue in the masking tape caused a reaction with the tolex and caused it to degrade somehow and left a weird sticky black residue.
