Anyone who thinks Mesa Boogies are that cheap to make is stupid... labor in the USA is ridiculously expensive. They still make a lot of profit, but it's not like it's costing them $50 per unit.
Great playing ! great tone ! where you playing strait in the amp or using a distortion pedal?could give us your settings for this amp? thanks the amp rocks!why pay all that money for these other expensive amps when that rocks!
I use an Ibanez RG550 with DiMarzio Evolutions! However this amp would make anything sound great! It was recorded with a microphone i found that must have cost ten quid from argos years into a crummy laptop with an on board sound card! this thing just kicks ass!
I’m sorry! lol! Mesa, Marshall or anything? all amps are bits of metal, plastic and soldering! Mesa’s don't cost that much to make! I don't have this amp because i can't afford a Mesa, i could get huge discount of Mesa products through endorsement if i wanted! I use this amp because it's awesome! You buy this amp, and the two thousand quid you've saved by not buying a Mesa can go on more important things!!!
@taylor122 I've had two Bugeras, both of them broke (one within a month, one within half a year). Now I'm using a Laney Ironheart. I will never touch a Bugera again
@taylor122 That's the right idea man! Why spend more when you don't have to? Granted, I have a hard-on for vintage, and boutique amps, But if you're going for a certain sound, and a 2 grand amp nails it, and a 500 dollar amp nails it, it's an easy decision for me too. Few of amp builders can justify their costs (Dr. Z for one...do some research on the parts that man puts into his amps, But he's still cheaper than most boutique builders) *continued*
@taylor122 *continued* I've heard things about Bugera's build quality and reliability being questionable, but then again, I don't own one, nor have I played one, so I can't say first hand. But if you like it and it works for you, fuck everyone else!
Any item built with all high quality parts, hand tested tubes, hand wired boards and the like will not be cheap as it takes significant man power, and skill, to craft. A quality amp will last you a lifetime. A cheap Chinese amp, will last as long as... its weakest component. Now think about all the things they could have cut cost and corners on. You wont be seeing one of these behind me at any gig
Behringer is a consumerist brand. They are there to offer a competitive product at a lesser price point. And it shows. All components through and through are cheap and untrustworthy. Your signal/tone is only as strong as its weakest link. Comparing to any boutique amp company these Bugera amps are tinker toys in the world of luxury automobiles. And as far as boutique amps go, Mesa is probably in the top for the most affordable price for the value and quality of workmanship.
@MesaESP0131 Have you actually played this amp? You're saying all these things that don't mean anything unless you have physically played the amp yourself and find the tone distasteful.
@mtbsimon4268 bought mine in mid '08, so far to this day november 29 2011 haven't changed tubes and have gig it hard also travels and stuff been played by some "important" mexican bands, its a road horse. the bugera cab is nice for its price, but the amp really shines through any other cab.
Well, i have had a lot of amps, so i think i will give you a more reliable awser, as most of these fanboys never touched a real 6505 or dual rec. The knobs feel like they are cheap plastic shit y"ll break as soon as you let go. When we were gigin once, doing crazy stuff, i acidentali steped on the foodswitch and broke it. If you are lucky, it' last ages, but if your unlucy, they die in 3 weeks. I once talked to a guitarsalesman, and he told me they had one die while demoing it.
I own a Bugera 1990. It sounds good at low to medium volume. When it is cranked it sounds REALLY crappy. I also am on my FOURTH one! The other three crapped out. The first lasted two weeks,the second,two months. The next one lasted about two hours. The one I have now seems to be solid(knock on wood) I just got a Blackstar HT-100,it seems to be well made & sounds really nice. I also own a Carvin V3. Sounds great & could be thrown out a window & it would still work as good as new!
@flairfan101 I owned a 1990 for a couple days...I looked up while at the computer and noticed the channel light was turning itself on / off...amp was cutting off when it went out...after trading it in, I talked to the guy at the repair shop and he said there was a 'repair order' from Bugera cause the connectorwire or whatever was getting hot and was too small...I now own a Bugera 1960 and use a rackmount Marshall preamp with it...LOUD and sounds great live too...
How the effect loop on bugera 333XL switching works?
If I engage the effects loop on the clean channel, it will still be active on the crunch channel? or does the amp remembers on wich channel the effect loop was activated?
@mtbsimon4268 no problems except just recently the power light doesn't work and a light on the footswitch doens't work!!! nothing wrong with them.. mesa boogies and stuff don't cost 2k to make!! they make massive profit, bugera prove you can do this for much less.. the amp is awesome
@taylor122 I thihnk yoiud be amazed what it costs to make a mesa. They use much higher quality componements, and better power transformers, and so on... They easily cost 1200 to build
Right, and this is sold at a quarter of the price and is known to be reliable. If a company can offer alternatives to me at a lower cost without a ridiculous mark up, I'm all for it. I'm loyal to price and quality, not brand name. If you think Mesa is better for credibility, then you must be clearly compensating for something. Conclusion: Go eat a bag of dicks bro.
@mattmurray07 oh wow, your use of 4 chan generated sayings displays a competent level of intelligence. Bugera sounds horrible. I returned mine after 4 days.
Your inability to offer only an opinion and no valid argument leads me to believe that you don't know what you're talking about. If you didn't like your tone, it was probably because you're a retard and you don't know how to calibrate an amp.The other possibility is that you probably bought a shitty cab with it. Good job. You've proven once again that not everyone has the intellectual capacity to be a musician.
Hey guys! I must say! The amp is about 18 months old now. Done a few hundred gigs with it! The only problems i've had are 1) the footswitch light for the effect loop has gone out and 2) the power light has gone out! not of which i care about because the damn thing is better than anything!
@FistRain ibanez - dimarzio evolutions and a kent armstrong cool rail i think... strat - dimarzio HS3 and YJM... jackson - EMG 81/85. sound aint too bad considering the mic that was used! would be better if i could borrow a 57 and put that in front of it! i migh do that actually

bass 10, mid 5? treble 5? gain 10? presence 7? thats what i usually have! RG550 with dimarzio evo's. straight into the amp, no pedals.. 2 x 12 marshall cab with vintage 30's. the amp is awesome
well i reckon even if for now your just playing in ya room and that. id still get a head and cab! i bought a combo once, and yeah it was cool and that but i always prefered the head and cab option. when ya do gigs you can just share cabs and plus i think pyschologically it looks cooler.. combo's are ok but you dont get as much bass as acoustically as there isnt as much space in the structure of them to rumble and break ya windows!! lol.. yeah head and cab in the long run no doubt!!
