Possibly, although I am looking at something else right now.

If you're happy with the Bugera, you should just buy their 5150 clone and run it in stereo with your 333. It would make a killer pair. If Bugera has actually cleaned up their QC/reliability issues, they'd be easily the best value on the market. They have a new line of amps coming out that are based on Marshall amps... JCM 800 and something else.

I would go with different cabs, though. As someone already mentioned, Avatar cabs are fantastic. You can load them with the Celestions or Eminence speakers of your choice, and choose open or closed back. Can't go wrong with either the contemporary or the vintage models. If all you're doing is playing at home, and not gigging, I'd just go with a couple of 2x12's...
Splawn cabs are really excellent for the money, as well. They cost a little more than the Avatar cabs, but are an equally good value for the money. If money isn't an issue, you can't beat Mills Acoustics. Best sounding cabs on the market, imo. Even better than the Bogner Uberkab.

that cab is muddy and flat. also, dont buy clone amps just cut to the chase.

i just bought a mesa dc-5. very cool. next i'm going to buy a line6 spider valve, that shit rules.

let me get this straight you go and buy a custom guitar thats worth a few grand then you go and buy a cheap knock off tube amp.

you really are a spastic in sheeps clothing.

i have a powerball

I don't put much stock into amps actually. This one just sounded pretty badass and at a nice price.
I always focused more on the tone woods, pickups, things like that.
Eddie van halen would still sound like eddie van halen whether he played through a marshall or a gorilla amp.

bullshit. although, he could still play as good on a garbage guitar

Not bullshit.
Eddie has had many gear changes over the years, guitars, amps, etc....
still sounds like EVH every time.

i want a tube amp but i would never really be able to crank it up

Yeah, I value how an amp sounds slightly more than the actual guitar I think, although I'm not an advocate of skimping on either. I tend to build my tone starting from a good clean tube sound, then model my tone with pedals.

his amps are all custom modded to "his" sound and are all basically the same amp

I stand by my point. Eddie van halen can play through a gorilla amp and still sound like evh.

He could play any guitar (with a floyd) and still sound like himself. You're digressing.

Yes, but I take even less stock in an amp than I do a guitar. I've said on here many times that tone comes mainly from your hands and playing style.

i always found that a lot of the tone came from technique and right hand, but the wood/neck type and really the guitar itself have sooooo little compared to the actual amp. the next time your in a guitar store with a friend, try one amp out and then another and then have him do the same...
