Hello all,
I've found a used Bugera 333XL in great condition for $350, which is about $225 cheaper than new from the quick googling I've done, and was hoping to get some opinions on the value at that price. I've heard a few clips on both youtube and this forum that sound pretty damned impressive. My biggest concern is the power. This would most likely be used exclusively in my little hobby home recording set-up and recording at high volumes isn't an option. I can push a modest amount of volume, but the most I ever played with was the 60 watts from a 5150 212 (something I've regretted selling for years now) at a post gain of between 2 - 2.5.
So basically, what I'm trying to weigh here is: Will I be able to get a decent recorded tone out of a Bugera 333XL at a lower volume considering its power or would I be better off spending a little more and getting a Peavey 6505+ 112 and running it through my 212 cab with V30s? Also, any general opinions on the Bugera 333XL would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
