I always crack up at guys that say these aren’t loud enough. Lol. Where the fuck do you guys play? MSG? Good grief. Most of you guys are probably playing your 40 watt hod rod deluxes or 50 watt marshals on 2 because you’ll get thrown out of any bar any small to medium sized venue you play at, or your band is just a dreadful wall of noise. I’ve played dozens of various tube amps and many sound glorious. I’m a Fender tune amp junkie but they have a sweet spot that is usually way too loud for most places. Even a 22 watt deluxe reverb is loud as hell. These days I wouldn’t gig most places with anything more powerful than a Princeton. Hell I gigged regularly with a Fuchs lucky 7, 7 tube watts and always had enough volume. These Quilters are fantastic. Yes they are missing that “magic” but it’s a “magic” that can only be heard by the most trained of ears. These Amps are gig worthy, pro level machines.
I have owned one of these for a year with the 8" block dock speaker. Love it. Clean sounds to very dirty if you want. And you don't have to get the volume way up for it to sound good. Nice reverb. I think I like the reverb better than the spring reverb in my tube amp.
You hear the Magic of this amp, from 5:03 - 5:23 - It's the only SS Amp that remotely comes-close to those Fender Princeton Reverb pristine-cleans. I'm really impressed with it. Small, lightweight & powerful for gigs. I may get one? ( leave my Princeton at home )
I had 2 of these...I regretted each time I sold it!! Amazing for cleans, fantastic for jazz....rich and deep...I was shocked and since then never went back to tubes (which only sound good cranked anyway...). I think guitarists hang onto traditions I think...sure if you are playing really loud and a pro, then get a big ass tube amp, but then factor in maintenance and weight....
@@rhythmjones I did this with the Interblock, but ran it into an IR hosting pedal first (Mooer Radar for me, but pick your favorite). The concept would be the same going direct to a PA, but you'd want some kind of cab simulation on it first.
Hey all. Currently trying to decide between the 101 mini (or 101 reverb) and something from the 200 series. I don’t need extra volume on tap, 50w is plenty for me. Are there any other major tonal differences in the 100 series and 200 series? I get my reverb from pedals so I’m basically just looking for a pedal base with a little crunch and chime. Any input is awesome if you have experience with these amps!!
Is it as loud as a 50W tube-amp? I read something about that Quilter "overpower" their amps internally. I need something like this within a loud rock-context.
@@JgHaverty : it's way louder - checked it out last practice session against a Marshall 50w tube-head - it can compete within a loud rock-band. Maybe for Metal you need the 200w powerblock.
@@DizzyKrissi volume =/= headroom. When the amp is cranked, its producing nothing similar to a clean tone. Its not really meant for cranked out gigging in large halls. Maybe for a small room type gig you'd be ok. If youre doing this live ,you better have a PA to mic it up.
@@JgHaverty: of course it's crucial to mic the amp in a larger venue. When I use just the power amp for the helix it feels even louder -sufficient in a loud rock context imo. I agree on cranking the gain - it sounds terrible - below it sounds sweet.
If only a college dorm room's fridge could amplify a guitar. Lifeless, sterile , boxie sixfeetunderable. Now, having said those things, this box would be worth $199.00 street prices, over $400 , my starfish burns.
Bought one and sent it back, no response from the treble,, not very sturdy, you don't get this sound unless you are using pedals, 420 euro its over priced

People don’t realize that a 50W amp is only twice as loud as a 5W amp lol

He doesn't even touch the Reverb knob til 5:01. Cranks it up all the way (for like 3 seconds) at 5:27
Noticed same thing
Hey !!! It's a crate block Amp desguised like a new amp !!!! :)
The BEST review -- Nice job on this demo! Cheers!
I have a d v mark 65 for 3 years it’s pretty good
Shnobel at Prymaxe! Great choice, dudes!
Had to double take. Thought Steve McQueen was playing. 😂

Four Owls How did you use it? is it a regular head going through a speaker? or do you need something else to use it?
@@ferramirez4570 Whoops sorry,,,just saw this 3 years later...I rang it into speakers as a regular head!
Sounds nice for a mini amp!
Could you go pedal board into the fx loop and out of fx loop into direct box to p.a.?
My question too. On the MicroBlock you use the headphone out to go direct.

It looks like you are using an Eric Johnson Strat. They are great! That amp sounds good with it.
Yes, its an Eric Johnson Strat

hello, may i know if the amp head can drive without cabinet, and directly to headphone for practicing? thanks
No reason it shouldn’t. I run my DV mark that way. I got a 2 x 12 with Celestion 12 T speakers sound just like the headphones
Good demo ! Do you think it's loud enough at 8 ohms to play with a band ? Thanks !
Would of been nice showing reverb and clean tone much more.
Hi nice demo.. Could you pls tell me what pickups you got on that red strat.. Thx ! 👍
they are stock Eric Johnson Pickups that came on the guitar
shnobel thx, keep up the good work.. Vid liked.. 👍

No, it's on par with a 5-10w tube amp

You're talking shit. You haven't the slightest idea how loud this amp is.
Hawkeye from Avengers
Steve McQueen.
I have a DV Mark sometime sounds better than my boss katana 100 head
wait, are you shnobel?
The bass is to high especially with the pedals

Sorry you can't afford it, bitch. Maybe some day.

That sound awful. sounds like a solid state amp,,,,,,, oh, it is.
You wouldn't have know it was a solid state amp if you hadn't been told. Fucking moron.
