I have a Palomino (the 30 watt, made in USA 1x12 one) and I love a love it. I switched out the speaker for a Hellatone 60 (broken in and relabeled Celestion 30) and put some JJ's in there and I love it. I just gigged with it everyday for the past two weeks and it never let me down and always sounded top notch. I use it as a clean then rely on my Keeley BD-2 and Barber Direct Drive for overdrive. The overdrive on the amp is really nice and use it when I don't feel like bringing my board along with me. I was dead set on buying a higher end boutique amps but when I compared how good the clean and dirty was on the Palomino to anything else, nothing stood up to it's versitilty and quality sound. I really love this thing.
