I use a Crate V33H 30 watt head over a Palomino 2x12 cab (two Celestion seventy-eighties). The clean channel is great, and both the presence and boost work well. The reverb is not outstanding, but it is serviceable. The gain channel sucks. It sounds like a wet blanket has been thrown over the cab. I either run pedals for my distortion/overdrive, or use a Texas Ranger to boost the mids and clean up the gain channel. I paid $300 for the head and I am happy with it. If I had paid more for it I would be unhappy about the condition of the gain channel. Since I play mostly blues it doesn't really matter to me. As long as Ihave a nice clean to work with, I can make things happen. I also have a Bugera 6260 2x12 combo and I have been running them either side by side or A/B. I haven't decided on my final plans for them, though. At 120 watts the Bugrea is crazy loud and, for most of my gigs, running a 30 watt head seems to be enough.
