  • crate was the best.

  • I'm going to say the crate was the best sounding. the hansome devil was junk.

  • I like the Blackheart the best without pedal and the Crate the best with the peddle. The fender sounded pretty good all around except when the extra gain was on where it sounds like crap

  • @phillyfrankb my 15watt palomino is a single channel amp...i use a tube screamer for when i need to get dirty. the palomino v32 has 2 channels. i also have the v33 head which is made in china but has the soldano mod so it sounds a lot better when you switch to the gain channel. all i'm trying to say in my last comment is that some lower priced amps can give pretty sweet tones. for example the handsome devil series sound fucking amazing! and the old crate vintage clubs sound good as well.

  • @maciverandy Key factor being you have a "Palomino" - not a "V" series. There's "VC" (vintage club), "Palomino", and "V". VC is the original.Crate split the line into 2, creating the Palomino

    The "V" is a P.O.S. made in china with a single shared EQ (that is voiced oddly in each channel) and cheap speakers (but works good as a low cost SINGLE CHANNEL amp if you only want to use the clean channel). "VC" is made in USA,has two separate EQs, loaded with V30s. Palomino is somewhere in between

  • this review really sucks! who would use theese amp with the active pickups for some metal-like shit :((

  • Fender sounds best, bottom end on the crate is too muddy, the blackheart has no bottom.

  • @marviosantos i disagree...my palomino v16 gets fucking awesome tones but i think his v18 actually sounded great here...better than the other amps even...i hear the v32 has great distortion! i put my v16 through a 212 cab and it sounds fucking amazing...i would honestly recommend putting your v32 through a 412 because the headroom makes all the difference!!!!

  • don't use a pedal to compare these!!! I have a crate v18 and it sounds delicious as is

  • The tone king sounds like hank from Breaking Bad
