Bugera 333 120-Watt 3-Channel Valve Amplifier Head with Reverb Review

Well after hearing all the bad hype surrounding this amp I had some doubts that it would live up to my own standards. You hear all kinds of stuff about Bugera, but I'm here to tell you not to pay any attention to the negative comments. The tone this amp produces is way beyond what I expected, and certainly stands up to any other high gain tube amp out there. It doesn't matter what style you may be, this amp can do anything.
Buy it and prove me wrong.(Just kidding) Anyway, I recommend getting the amp if you can, you won't be disappointed.

Line 6 Vetta II Combo Amp Review

(More customer reviews)
This amp has servered me well, I still use it extensively for live performances as well as recording. I bought it back in 2004 and it's still going strong.
The paragraph below is basically the same review I posted on Musicians Friend back in 2006.
This amp has all the features I've ever wanted and a lot more. If you're a mad scientist type that likes experimenting, then you will love this amp. If you're someone that doesn't like messing around with a lot of knobs and settings, then this is not the amp for you, buy a Fender twin or a Marshall half and be done with it. While the Vetta II alone offers a lot of capabilities I do recommend the FBV floorboard and Variax guitar if your budget permits. The value of being able change your amp and guitar models with a single click of a footswitch is worth the price of admission IMHO. Before I had the Vetta II and Variax I can't tell you how many times I wished for this capability while switching guitars between songs at a gig. The only issue I've had with this amp is it's susceptibility to power surges. It used to reset itself on me during rehearsals but since then, I've always plugged it into a surge protector and it's never reset on me during a gig.

Line 6 HD 147 300-Watt Digital Modeling Amp Head Review

Line 6 HD 147  300-Watt Digital Modeling Amp Head
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been playing hard rock and metal for 29 years (love Dream Theater, OLD Metallica, Vai, Satch, etc.). Wow, has it been that long? I have done more recording and gigging than I can remember. Anyway, I was skeptical when I first heard about this, read the reviews, and listened to some of the digital deniers/naysayers. I, too, have always preferred tube sound to digital. However, I quickly found that, if you understand and know how to properly adjust this amp, the distortion blows the others away... in depth, in styles, in selections, in sheer amount of leeway with which to experiment and create your own, signature sound (instead of being staying in the flock of sheep... you really want to sound like everyone else anyway? You can if you want with this amp... but, this amp allows for SO MUCH MORE. No one ever was cited as being innovative for sounding like others... But, I digress.) And, good GOD, when you click the STEREO switch and hear this thing through true, 2 sided stereo... THE distortion is absolutely beautiful, smooth, creamy, and just MAJESTIC-sounding. Doesn't sound compressed and like you're listening to it through a can... or has been compressed down to a few frequencies. Fills the entire room with a symphony of brutality. THAT, my friends, is where you get HEADROOM... STEREO SOUND. The clean sounds you can produce are without equal. Like playing crystal strings... shimmering, clear, and really brings out the different characteristics of adjustments to your guitar... volume, tone, pickup selections... where you pick on the fretboard, all of it. Amazingly responsive to different styles. It really shows off your instrument and your brand of music.
The ease of use, the bone-crushing distortions that go way beyond what anyone would ever use, the crystal cleans, and the effects are all incredible. Speaking of effects, how many amps have a pre-set noise gate that you don't even have to really adjust for loud volumes? Just hit the button on your amp! Also, built in compression... again, just hit the button on your amp.
You know what, at the end of the day, all of these people who dribble on and on incessantly about that type of tube distortion and this type of tube distortion... Satriani, Vai, and Petrucci all use the Boss DS-1 distortion pedal to get their distortion sound. Yep, lol, that's right. Look at their racks and their rigs... Lynch used ProCo (Rat) stomp box for his distortion. MANY players use Ibanez TS-1, etc, etc. Well, here's an amp that you don't have to go buy a pedal for... Ever.
Get this and enjoy the freedom. Throw your effects away. GET THE FBV SHORTBOARD, however... Have fun and make music, people!!! Enjoy!!

When we introduced our Insane custom model in 1996, we redefined how much distortion you could squeeze out of a single piece of gear. Now we've got HD147 with 14 custom models like Smash, Big Bottom, Octone, Purge, and Agro that will send you into high-gain overload. But, we didn't stop there. We added models based on boutique heads like the Diezel VH4 and Herbert, Peavey� 5150, Cornford mk50h, Marshall� Silver Jubilee and JCM2000, and Bogner Extacy and Ubershall.

be careful- this is a bogner design built by line6. Read the blogs, line6 has very poor support for their products! Also, After blowing a few fuses and having a little peak at the organs, I found many connections that were tweaked with the use of a glue-gun. It was sold as new but I question that now! Do your research. I decided to return it and purchase a kit andbuild my own!

Alchemist' spins the visions of discerning guitarists into gold.Boasting sparkling, articulate cleans, touch-sensitive leads and a bright and colorful crunch, the all-tube Alchemist is a modern take on vintage amp design. Its remarkable tonality it owes to a 6L6 class-AB power section, featuring five 12AX7 preamp tubes and premium Celestion speakers. Its timeless appeal, though, it owes to classic innovation, modern ingenuity and its namesake, an entrancing ancient mysticism. Alchemist exhibits a two-channel design, each channel with its own voice and identity. Beginning clean and fast, featuring an open top-end and tight bottom-end, Channel 1 opens gradually to present simmering blues tones that churn like spirits in a cauldron. Advancing toward saturation, Crunch mode turns up the heat adding the perfect touch of nastiness with added pick response and increased tonal complexity. Channel 2, achieving critical mass, invokes the famous white-hot Bogner gain-creamy, modern and screaming with sustain-offering everything from Brit rock right through to modern metal. Plus, with variable Bright settings, each channel can be customized to match the tone of your guitar and rig.Featuring a selectable power section, from 40 to 20 watts, the Alchemist sonority quickly transforms to display a very different kind of magic. When switched to 20 watts, Alchemist undergoes a complete sonic metamorphosis, changing its harmonic complexity and feel to conjure the essence of the legendary Brown sound.Reverb and Delay, in variable styles and levels, run in parallel separate from the original signal. The result is a rich, living and breathing, fully realized resonance capable of producing a complete tonal landscape. Alchemist also includes a four-button footswitch and a parallel effects loop.

Fender FM 212 DSP 100W 2x12 Guitar Combo Amp Review

Fender FM 212 DSP 100W 2x12 Guitar Combo Amp
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Agree with Larry generally, and particularly the excessively-small fonts for the amp and effects selection. I sold my 212R and bought this 212DSP recently. I'm aiming for clean twangy modern country sound with single-coil guitars, and this does what I want. It takes a bit of getting used to to get the best from it, particularly setting up the two channels so that something useful is acheived by switching between them. The built-in effects are ~ok~ cheaper than buying a whole array of pedals I suppose, and giving a choice of sounds without being too gimmicky. However, in a gig situation, you could spend too much time fiddling with settings trying to get it right. It will take some time before I'll use this intuitively.
Dislikes: There is only one input jack in this, the 212R had two. I used to leave a back-up guitar plugged in to my 212R with its volume down, can't do that with the DSP. The knobs pull off the pots too easily, showing that the pots have plastic shafts - not the greatest sign of quality materials. Spare knobs can be found on the 'bay in packs of six. The tiny print is a real pain on the amp and effect selectors, and they also have unmarked in-between click positions where you have to guess what is happening it seems.
Likes - Sound is clear and punchy. there is some hiss and buzz on some settings, but not noticeable when a lively band is playing. Plenty of clean power available, this amp will get your solos and lead lines heard. Overall, I like it.

Fender was one of the world's first manufacturers of truly great guitar and bass amplifiers. Originally their amps were simple tube-driven units that became classics. Now FENDER® utilizes modern DSP technology to create amps that are just as simple, yet packed with amp models and effects. The FM 212 DSP is just such a model.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have owned this amp for aprox 3 months now. It is a great sounding 2 channel amp. It is not your typical L6 amp and does not have a multitude of effects or any dialed in settings. It does have some wizardry in it basically like having 4 preamps, giving you allot of tone options without even hooking up a processor. This is the best sounding amp I have ever owned, which includes amps from fender to carvin, tube and solid state. If you want a downside to this amp its that it is incredibly loud, you could gig a medium sized gig off this without mic'n, and its only rated 50watts. If you pair this with the new hd processors you basically change 4 preamps to 16 (of course you can use full models as well) and up to 100 effects. If you have the cash to try it out and the need for the volume, you got a winner. Check out the youtube andertons music review it is better then the L6 one for tone review IMO.
In conclusion I sold 3 of my amps after getting this one, so that should tell you something.

The Line 6 DT50 212 Guitar Combo Amp is medium sized with an amplification system that is able to configure and adapt its analog components and digital modeling in real time. This means that when you select a model, the DT50 Amp instantly reconfigures the tube power section to provide the optimal tone. The digital section monitors the tube power section and can adjust the DSP in real-time. At high volumes, the tubes provide more distortion. At low volumes, the modeling delivers more of the coloration. The digital section now "talks" to the analog section, and vice versa.Matched with 2 Celestion speakers, the DT50 212 gives you great tone and authentic feel at all volumes all the time.

Roland Cube Guitar Amplifier 30X Review

Roland Cube Guitar Amplifier 30X
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got this amp with my BC Rich KKV2 Handmade for a decent price of $899. I hooked it with a Boss GT-8 and then I was surprised. The sound was awesome. I then tried it without the multi-effects with the lead feature on and the knob set to METAL. Believe me, the sound was comparable to the sound from the GT-8. The reverb and the chorus was neat and matched up with my pedal.
The acoustic sound was very good and it had no extra noise. I compared it with my other two amps: Crate GT65X and Marshall 101DFX and after playing some dream theater songs which contained variety of effects i was really surprised for this amp to be on par with the other two amps in terms of sound quality and not power.
Pros:
1) Roland's COSM modeled amps similar to the Boss GT pedals.
2) Awesome digital effects
3) 2 channel configuration with Power squeezer.(If you want more from this unit)
4) Tuner was sometimes helpful.
Cons
1) Not so much to talk about. Only that the button and knob panel should have been on the front side rather than top. The cords get bent and you have to at the top for tuning the effects. That's sometimes trouble some.
2) Could have had more power. 30W is decent but 45W could have been awesome for an amp for this size.
Overall:
Awesome amp. For practice and performing small gigs.
COSM amps rock so dont worry if you don't have a multieffect pedal. This amp takes care of everything.

This was my second amp, first being a bare to the bone First Act amp with nothing on it. This amp was DEFINENTLY an improvement. It was well worth the money, gives a nice clean sound when you need one, and also an adjustable distortion. Its effects are nice, but I barely use them. It's kinda big, but it's easily portable. If this one broke, I wouldn't mind having to replace it. It is a very good amp, and I highly recommend it to a somewhere between beginner and intermediate level guitar player. When I use the amp for practice, I don't normally put the volume level anywhere past 2, it can get LOUD!

RX SeriesCHANGING THE PERCEPTION OF THE PRACTICE AMP Huge sound on a budget is the best way to describe the newly redesigned RX Series. Our mission to deliver an amp line that achieves the tone of much larger combos and stacks has developed into quite a powerhouse. The RX tone circuits are designed to achieve the modern Randall tone which delivers plenty of tight low's, as well as enough top end sizzle to satisfy any metal monster. The result is an overwhelming sound that will redefine the modern practice amp.

I won't go into all the features but this amp is very versitile. It really does do really good cleans and the higher gain channel is not overly saturated and with just gain adjustsments it can go from a mild overdrive to full on distortion. Add a good overdrive pedal pushing the front end and this amp will do great full on modern metal.
The secret weapon on this amp is the mid shift on the gain channel. In the up position the mid control controls the upper mids and does the more vintage Marshall style tones and feel. with the control in the bottom position it drops the mid control to the low mids and it does the california tones. So it really is pretty cool.
The only thing is that this amp can produce a strident very high top with the speaker dampening to loose.. I would recomend you install Celestion Greenbacks in these newer models.. ( old ones I've seen originally had greenbacks ).
Beautiful style ( love the reflective grill cloth ).

I had an old Line6 Flextone. This amp had plenty of power but I was never able to get the sound I was looking for out of it (no fault of the amp). I love Line6 products and now own three after purchasing the Spider IV. This amp has so many presets that you can just push a button and find that perfect sound you were looking for. You can custom dial in your own sound or take one of the presets and tweak it a little if you want.
The clarity and drive this amp produces is breathtaking. So loud yet so clean and clear, and down right nasty sounding when you want it to be.
The ease of use and the amazing sound this head produces makes it an incredible value. Check one out - you will love it.

I cannot begin to say what a pleasure this amp is to play. The clean sound is what I play primarily and thus, the 4 star rating. It sounds great clean yet the fiddling around with the menu to get presets that are suitable for jazz and the like take time. No big deal with time issues if you're one well versed with digital menus. For dudes like me (perhaps many) this is a fine piece of workmanship with the built in tuner and all, but I just want to turn on the tube sounding warmth of an old TWIN or VOX and play mellow. Again, if one is inclined, mellow sounds will come out of this superlative amp and I am only thinking of selling mine because I just need less power and less menu stuff.
Like amateur radio, many of the new gear out is menu driven versus simplicity. I am hardly one who does not like to tinker, but when tinkering is all one is doing an playing your instrument takes second seat, there is a slight problem. So, this is based on my ineptitude rather than the amplifier's capabilities and build.
A four out of five is very good given my admission to menu driven gear as a weakness on my part.
You'll love it if you love reading manuals or have much time to tinker. Overall, the amp is superb. PERIOD.

I started two years ago with a 15 watt Spider III, then along with other amps, bought a Spider Jam. I thought they were all great. Now they come out with Spider IV, and the difference in the sound is dramatic. They are getting very, very close to tube sound. So much so that for the lousy $299, compared to say $1000+ for 75 watts of tube, this is a real steal.
Loaded with features, and hundreds of presets, it has something for everyone. The Pitch Shifter and 18 available manual settings just add to the fun. And it will work with either generation of FBV pedalboard. Says so right in the manual. The only difference I see is with the generation II pedal you get a USB port.
Does it sound as creamy and smooth as my Peavey Delta Blues or Crate Palomino tube units? No, there is still a little digital overlay around in there. But most people who are looking for a great home based amp, or maybe a church or small gig amp, this is a WINNER and the price is just nuts. Forget the Peavy Vyper, this is hands down much better and you don't have to sink another couple hundred in a pedal to get to all the presets like the Vyper.
