Bugera

collapse expand iconDescription

The 333XL is the big brother to Bugera's 333 Series, but with four key additions:

Overall active Presence control

EL34 power tubes for a more compressed, tighter midrange


Noise gate on Lead channel
This is an analog gate that will never close or shut you off in a clean passage. It is frequency selected to decrease high frequency noise and hiss without changing your tone and it works loads better than a lot of competitors™ gates.

XL switch on Crunch and Lead channels
The XL function will add more œchunk to your sound. You can add some thunder to the combo version to more closely emulate a 412 cab, thicken the sound of single-coil pickups or add sustain to single-note melodic passages.

After that, this design is much like the 333 with three fully independent channels: A totally Clean channel that won™t break up, a Crunch channel for a "halfway dirty" rock and blues tone (or crank the gain for a metal rhythm tone), and a Lead channel with the same structure as the Crunch channel but with access to more gain.

This is a closeout model, and does not feature Infinium technology.
