Well for the record, your Bogner isn't a true Bogner. It'd be like calling an Epiphone a Gibson. Or a Jet City a Soldano.

Re: are the new bugeras reliable?
I've heard that they've stepped up their quality significantly. That only landed them sort of around to "pretty good" though. Good enough to qualify it as a decent kick-around if you get it used. Maybe not a touring head though.
Good thing is that they're pretty blatantly based on other, more famous amps so get a good hang on what you want out of an amp and then get the better version when you can.

Re: are the new bugeras reliable?
They're actually like modded versions of those amps..they don't sound better or worse or even that similar at all. There are quite a few demo's out there that do comparisons & there's always a difference..(whether for better or for worse..that's subjective). For instance the 6262 is significantly less noisy/fizzy than a 5150 or whatever they're called now. It also has less bass.
Personally the 5150 sound is something I'm not nuts about anyway & every other band these days uses them and sounds the same so if it was me, I would'nt get either lol.
The 333XL is exactly what I want in in an amp tone-wise. And as I mentioned before it's been totally reliable..have'nt even had to change tubes (maybe thanks to the "infinium" thing..)

Re: are the new bugeras reliable?
I'm genuinely interested in them again, I think. I'm going to embark on a head/cab soon and I'd like different heads to try out.
