Panama Conqueror 5w head?

[AniML]

Anyone own or played one? It is supposedly a hand wired 5F1 circuit in a very pretty cab and tempting at just a little over $200. I wonder how these compare to a VHT Special 6 or even the dirt cheap Monoprice 5 watter

I have not used the model but did play a panama amplifier. If the quality is anywhere near to the head I used, I would certainly jump on this for $200 or a little more.

I did and I love it! Attenuator on the back could be a little better but that is some sweet sounding classic overdrive. The one I tried was a Purple Heart version, which I think is just an aesthetic difference. You ever hear the opening riff and leads in Layla? Sounds just like that. Nice blooming crumbly top end attack.

Im not familiar with that model, but have been really gassing for a couple of the Panama models. Cant recall the model names right now..(Fuego I think) One gets really heavy. clip on youtube of them laying down Master of Puppets on it.. Sounded good.. The look well built, Nice looking and a 5 yr warranty.. So perhaps durable...
