I don't think I've ever actually seen one - and certainly I've never played through one. I seem to remember someone fairly famous was an endorsee - can't remember who though....
Some guff:

and at timepoint 2.08
It was very possibly user error though, I really had no idea how to use anything but Superleads or Twin Reverbs at the time - it was early days for that kind of amp for most of us .
I think it was about 60w. Build very well and sounded quite good, surprisingly not heavy by comparison to the later stuff.
Always liked the Burman stuff ever since.
I have three Burman amps and one of the preamps. I've been fortunate enough to have the occasional email exchange with "Gregg" too (not his real name) when his health permits.

We didn't have gyms to go to back then, so it was dual purpose - both a great amp and my weights routine, along with two Marshall 4x12s.
As I recall, it hummed a lot though (mind you, I did too after carrying that lot!).

I used a pair of Pro200 2 X 12 Combo's, from 1978 - 1984. (Sold them & used 2 X Rivera Concerts + EV's).
Burman amps had an Amazing sound, loud & dynamic, but, yes, the weight was incredible.
I still have a 100W Burman bas head in my rehearsal room, (Sounds great with guitar, tho).

I tecall both the 1x12" combo and the GX3 pre-amp being reviewed in Music UK magazine.
To conclude, by today's standards, obsolete, sounds a bit nasty and is scarce. How many of them do you reckon that @HarrySeven possesses?
