I emailed Quilter's support department re using the headphone jack as a line out to a recording interface. Pat Quilter himself (!!) replied in the affirmative, although suggested a cab sim in the chain. Now that's customer service !!!
Hey Phillip, firstly, I dig your videos. Very honest takes on gear pros and cons. Back in January 2011 I was gigging with Paul Johnson ( 1st wave surf guitarist- composer of surf classics Mr. Moto, and many others) and I asked if I should bring my amp and he said no, he'd be supplying the amps. Well, I show up at the venue and was expecting to see a blackface or blonde Fender something-or-other as old surf guys, and surf guys in general, inhabit the upper echelons of tube snobbery and loyalty. When I asked where the amps were he points behind the stage and I see these two little "practice" sized amps ( Micro-pro 200) and I said "really?" he said "really"..."are they going to mic us?" I asked..."no, they won't need to" he said with a sly grin (this was a 400 seat concert setting). Well in short, I was just blown away at how these little amps put out big, clear, warm sound in a 19.5 lb. unit. We even did an acoustic set through these little amps and with a few knob tweaks our acoustics sounded like acoustics...I've been a Quilter man ever since. I still love my '67 modded Bassman but it hangs out in my buddies practice room. Your followers my like to know that Pat Quilter is the Q in QSC high end pro audio gear. Thanks for taking the time to put out quality info with no schtick!
Two of my bandmates are using Quilter amps. The steel player's amp refused to turn on at practice. He got on the horn to Quilter next day, and they paid for him shipping it both ways, fixed it, no charge in about a week! Customer service is not dead.... Keep don
Just got mine yesterday. I'm running a Dunlop wah into an analogman POT into a Boss Harmonist into the input. In the loop I'm running a Flyrig 5, Boss CE5 and a el cheapo Rouge Delay. I'm using a Celestion G12 in a Blackheart cab. Everything mounted on a Pedaltrain 1. I bought it to replace a Crate PB I kept in my car for backup that was stolen. I'm impressed enough to use it full time. We'll see how I feel on Sunday but for tonight, color me happy.
i bought the amp used on this demo from this guy on reverb. i've got tons of tube amps but i live in an apartment and needed something on the low cost side that i could play without driving my neighbors crazy and this amp works great! i love the control i have with this amp in my apartment and the many tones i can get with it.
I have a Quilter Micropro 2-12" combo along with the 12" Ext Cab and the 6-button footswitch on the way this week. I have been researching the Quilter's for quite awhile and when national acts are using these on Austin City Limits, and with the incredible tone along with no maintenance and they weigh nothing, yeah I pulled the trigger. Nice vid by the way.
I should also mention I had a patch cable that did not work from the send to the Flyrig. Don't know why but it shut the whole unit down. I contacted customer support and Pat Quilter emailed me back immediately. I went from crap, loop seems to be borked to wow, that cable is fine but doesn't work here in about two hours. Switched out the cable, everything works great. And, it's quiet.
I own a Quilter Aviator 12 which is based off the "full-q" setting on this. It sounds phenomenal and is sooo reliable. thanks for the review. I really appreciate your channel.
I played quilter stuff at Ampshow last month, I was blow away. They have a pedal board prototype that will power 13 pedals, and act as a head. We had two 12 inch cabs plugged into it playing in stereo, all powered from the pedal board and it sounded HUGE. They said it would only be around 599 when it does come out, i will believe that when i see it.
I’ve had one for 3ish years. Never really used it because I bought as a backup amp. Pulled it out the other day. Ran it into a mojotone 1x12 with Alessandro something speaker. This thing freaking rocks! I settled on the on the surf mode… I also like the full Q. I also see the tweed mode as very usable! Long story short… this little box rocks. I’ve had a lot of tube amps… from Mesa, to Marshal to Fender. I’d put it up in a live seen with all of them with no problems! I do wonder if the one with reverb does as well…. But damn this things rocks. BTW, mine came with a gig bag
I can vouch for Quilter quality, got the Tone Block 200 late last year and I love it! I had often said that if someone could build a solid state amp that sounded and "felt" like a tube amp I'd be on board and Quilter has done it. Check out the reviews by Gino Matteo and Mike Zito, after seeing them I was sold! Thanks Phillip for another great vid!
I've had, and gigged with the Toneblock 200 for close to a couple of years now. I love it. It takes pedals very well, and I usually run into a Marshall 4x12 1960a cabinet. I never turn it up past 11 or 12 watts with the gain around 9 o'clock. It's just pure power. More speakers do not calm it down. 4 12's are simply 4 times as loud as 1. So my mind says anyway.
I've used this with pedals in the front end with 2 1x12s and it could hang with a dual rectifier and a 4x12. It's not a tube amp but sounds pretty good for solid state. I used an OCD, carbon copy, holy grail, and a Klon KTR. 2 Bag End 1x12s made for guitar. Very loud! And decent tone too.
Amp sounds badass. Got to run time based effects in the FX loop though. Running any delays, or reverbs into the guitar input will make an unclear signal for the amp to process. Best to run guitar, drive pedals, & all that jazz into the amplifier input. That way the amp takes in the dry guitar signal and you fine tune the knobs on the amplifier. After the amplifier processes the guitar signal it gets sent out through the send and you run all your time based effects like delay, Reverb, tremolo, chorus, etc. which come to life and take over the final guitar sound as their desired intention to modulate the finished product which gets returned back to the FX loop’s return to be sent out to the speakers. Not trying to nerd out or say you or anyone uses pedals wrong, rather I just wanted to explain to those who don’t know that you will achieve much higher results running time based effects in the effects loop as opposed to sending a heavily time modulated signal into an amp’s guitar input. Side note: Best to run looper pedals in the effects loop as well because if you send a prerecorded guitar signal and your live guitar signal into the amp’s guitar input then you tend to get two signals going in and out fighting for space. If the amp you’re using is badass and has an effects loop, run the loop pedal at the end of the effects loop so the prerecorded tracks stays as it was recorded and is unaffected by any changes in amplifier channel switches or pedals you engage in front of the amp or in the FX loop before it. I have found that this way the looper pedal’s track and you’re live guitar track both come through the speakers clear and present as two distinct tracks and not a washy mess of both melting together. In closing, the different guitar sounds you got out of this adorable little amp with no pedals was mind blowing. Light weight cheap little portable amp with an FX loop and two gnarly intuitive EQ knobs. I will definitely be picking one up. This amp is the balls. My one ask I would want added to the amp is a 5 button foot switch you could buy as an add on if it had the port to switch between the Surf, jazz, Full Q, etc. modes live on the floor in a gig setting while playing. Great video, found this amp on reverb for cheap and absolutely blown away to find out how cool it is. Thank you for the great in depth video. Rock on!
Great demo for sure, very thorough and thoughtful. I've looked at these as a pedal platform, but still prefer a Roland JC or Clean Fender. Cool for a back up, but I couldn't see using it as a main ever...kind of soulless.
Jared Burdick yeah for good transistor cleans the old fender chorus amps sound great of course so does a jc120. For more tubey modelling stuff the hotone stuff sounds great to me as a back up not as a main amp but in a punch at a pub gig (the new pedal board stuff is 75 watts compared to 5 for the heads) .
I was just playing Jesse Girl a few days ago on my sisters voice-mail. I do it every few weeks to annoy her. She had Rick Springfield posters all over her room in 1982-83.
Love the Super Sonic in the background. I went with your suggestion and tried the amps you recommended. I ended up with the Super Sonic. Amazing tone. Thank you so much!
I was just thinking I need something to use at home that I can use my pedal board and headphones, since I play late at night when my wife and kids are asleep.. I think you just found it for me. I thank you. On a separate note, Quilter is having a guitar show with other CA based companies on July 23rd.
I have to say if I ever started gigging again, a Quilter would be on my radar too. I love the idea of a tiny amp that's portable and well made (Quilter was started by the founder of QSC Audio, if you want to know the pedigree). I like tubes but I'm not a tube purist, and I think a Quilter would do a fine job for a gig.
I have the Aviator first addition. I love it! I just run pedals in front of it and it's loud and clean. I have a love pedal I run in front of it and a one twelve cab with a Texas Heat from eminence and my tone is all there and then some. It only weighs like 5 pounds . Th reverb is great for spring type. I take it to gigs and jams and don't have to haul around my heavy HRD Fender 1x12. Also I can practice really quiet in my apartment because the tone is always the same at low volume.
Great review Phil, looks like a very clever small box that turns out to be big. & bought 2 t-shirts to support a good channel - keep up the good work Phil
What flat picks do you like? They sound on the heavy side. None of that "click" ya get from thins. Are they like jazz picks? I love the sharp/clean tones.
Eleven Rack currently retails around 300-350$ and has digital ins/outs, 2 separate outs for 2 amps, another 2 for the PA/studio monitors, has cab and amp sims, pedals for all kinds of guitars, input for electric, bass, acoustic and classical guitars as well as microphone, supports 48V phantom power, is a sound interface, is midi controllable. It may not be analog but it surely does blow this "mini head". AND if you need a power section, go check out the EHX Magnum 44 power amp.
if you don't read manual maybe... Tons of people use it and are quite happy with the results including myself. I'm not saying it can pull off a DT type of album sound but it certainly is better than this "mini head" thingy. At least I can record with a certain standard with it and not have mediocre sounds.
I've seen most of your videos, and they're great. But NOW I know where you got the cool riff that starts off lot's of your other videos. I always wondered about that. Awesome riffeage!
Nice video. A space I practice at has some really lousy options in terms of amps available and I've been toying with idea of getting one of these and throwing it in my gig bag (which has a couple of very large padded pockets into which I'm sure the 101 would fit).
I’ve been really looking at micro heads lately. I’ve spent years carrying around big heavy tube amps but as I’m getting older it’s getting old. I’m really thinking that a Quilter or something similar and a floor wedge with the horn gone and a guitar speaker would make a great stage rig. Set the wedge in front like a monitor and mic it to keep stage volume down.
Good review. You could use the effects send as a direct out for recording. You'd only then have to use some Impulse Response software to get a 'miced' sound.
Good for me i bring a sound system and a guitar head and cab but have no more room for a back up head. This will get you threw the night when your tube amp go's and they always have problems.
Are those fairies wearing boots? Would love to know how the clean tone compares with this amp and the Fender Super Champ X2, above his right shoulder. The "voice" selections Surf and Jazz are 100 Watts the rest are 50 watts. From what I read from Quilter labs.
Sounds like the Peavey Piranha or in other words, like projectile feces dropped from an altitude of 1.240m (just enough to get that beginning crystallization but not enough to fully freeze) onto a parking lot covered in glass shards.
hey Phillip you think you could do a review or discussion vid on the gibson firebird 2016t thinking about grabbing one but lil hesitant on pulling the trigger.
Odd... I have one and it came with a pretty nice gig bag included. And my bass player got the new bass head a few weeks ago, which came with a nearly identical bag... and I know of a lot of other "block" players who have the bag. Philip, did you buy this, or did Quilter send you a demo?
I should add, I was privileged to "beta test" this model for them, SN "Test02". Just some slight revisions on my regular production one. I've been using either this little monster or my MicroPro for a few years now. For me, no previous SS amp was good enough in a live situation.
How is the quality of the fx loop? I'm thinking using this to power up my line 6 thru a 4x12. You may suggest a tube pwr amp but this Quilter looks a good option.
You might like to demo the Quilter Aviator line. I have the Aviator 2X10 combo. Sounds and behaves like a tube amp and does not have the different "voice" modes. I do not like the "voice" modes. Instead, the Aviator is a 2 channel, 100W amp with a full EQ, as well as an effects loop.
They used to make in USA...now stuff is starting to be made in China...I am not sure what effect this will have on Quilter...but they sound pretty good!
hey phill. I have a schecter Damien 6. its has some playing issues and shops have charged me money and I get it back with similar or worse results. could this just be my guitar is bad? or is it common to see people do shoddy work claiming they know what they are doing?
Older video I know, but saw this amp as a pick on a jazz channel. Then saw your demo. Here's an idea to explore if you haven't (if you have, please point me to the vid!): As guitarists, why don't we get on the compact amp head bandwagon? These things sound great, but we're still lugging around Fender DeVilles, etc. Is there any REAL reason to be using heavy tube amps anymore?!?
The 2 'clean' channels- Jazz and Surf do go up to 100 watts, so if you are on one of those voices and the dial says, for instance 10 watts, you are really at 20, and at 50 you are at 100, etc.
I love your videos and look for new ones everyday. You are a hard working man. Your playing was fine but that amp is missing something. I wanted one, a tired old back that was killed by a Vox AC30 and a Fender Black face will make a guy pray to this! Great demo but that just is too thin. Thanks buddy.
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!!
Pat Quilter suggests fx send as DI. You can also use HK RedBox (at the end of effects)) in the fx loop to get to the Board. I had the TB200, which has dedicated Balanced line Out ~ but wanted all the extra tone-shaping this one offers.
Hi Philip, hope you are well mate. Thanks a lot for your review it is great. I have a doubt though. I have recently bought a Quilter 101 reverb (it sounds amazing) and my unit says it is made in China. I was expecting a product made in California according to what you said. It doesn't make any difference really, I was just curious to understand what happened. Have they moved their production abroad?
The one I had was stamped made in USA. I have a new Quilter Pedal and it is stamped made in China. It is a bummer. But, it seems like the quality in the new product I got is good as well.
I emailed Quilter's support department re using the headphone jack as a line out to a recording interface. Pat Quilter himself (!!) replied in the affirmative, although suggested a cab sim in the chain. Now that's customer service !!!
That’s gnarly

Thanks for taking the time to put out quality info with no schtick!
In case anyone doesn't know Quilter is the QSC guy, Quilter Sound Company! There's your amp technology! Pat Quilter is a great dude!
Now that explains ALOT!
Wow!
Two of my bandmates are using Quilter amps. The steel player's amp refused to turn on at practice. He got on the horn to Quilter next day, and they paid for him shipping it both ways, fixed it, no charge in about a week! Customer service is not dead.... Keep don
Just got mine yesterday. I'm running a Dunlop wah into an analogman POT into a Boss Harmonist into the input. In the loop I'm running a Flyrig 5, Boss CE5 and a el cheapo Rouge Delay.

So how did you/do
You feel about it now?
i bought the amp used on this demo from this guy on reverb. i've got tons of tube amps but i live in an apartment and needed something on the low cost side that i could play without driving my neighbors crazy and this amp works great! i love the control i have with this amp in my apartment and the many tones i can get with it.
Yeah, how realistically loud is that 2w setting?
Thank you Phillip! I bought this amp and have been using it for a while because of you.
You're the absolute best, I just recommended your channel to a friend who is buying her first electric
The format of your sounds demonstrations was excellent. Thanks for a great video.
I have a Quilter Micropro 2-12" combo along with the 12" Ext Cab and the 6-button footswitch on the way this week. I have been researching the Quilter's for quite awhile and when national acts are using these on Austin City Limits, and with the incredible tone along with no maintenance and they weigh nothing, yeah I pulled the trigger. Nice vid by the way.
I should also mention I had a patch cable that did not work from the send to the Flyrig. Don't know why but it shut the whole unit down.

One of the most informative demo/reviews I’ve seen and heard.
The versatility of the 101 has me intrigued.
Thanks
Proud Quilter owner myself. Tone Block 201 is a beast on stage! Sounds like a tube amp!
I want the Quilter Labs 101 Reverb 50-watt Head with a 10" Toob Speaker for the smallest most Compact gig-rig. Nice review as always Phillip.
I’ve had one for 3ish years. Never really used it because I bought as a backup amp. Pulled it out the other day. Ran it into a mojotone 1x12 with Alessandro something speaker. This thing freaking rocks! I settled on the on the surf mode… I also like the full Q. I also see the tweed mode as very usable! Long story short… this little box rocks.

Great review demonstrating the variety of tones you can get out of the Quilter 101. It does a lot for something in that small a package.
Phil - you have perhaps the best You Tube presentations on it. Love your videos! Keep up the good work!
I can vouch for Quilter quality, got the Tone Block 200 late last year and I love it!

I saw one of the guitarists from Deer Hoof playing one of these. Thank you for this video. I may pick one up.
Lots of cool tones out of that little guy. Thanks!
As a stand alone unit the blues tone sounded great and it takes pedals really well too. Nice video Phil. 🤘🏻
I've used this with pedals in the front end with 2 1x12s and it could hang with a dual rectifier and a 4x12. It's not a tube amp but sounds pretty good for solid state. I used an OCD, carbon copy, holy grail, and a Klon KTR. 2 Bag End 1x12s made for guitar. Very loud! And decent tone too.
Hey man...this comment is irrelevant to vid but i just wanted to say im glad you post more videos now. Keep up the great work.

1983 those were the days 😄
Been looking at these amps for years. Just a shame they are not very readily available over here in the uk.
Love the Super Sonic in the background. I went with your suggestion and tried the amps you recommended. I ended up with the Super Sonic. Amazing tone. Thank you so much!
And ? Did you still use it ?
Excellent review sir! thank you. and please keep up the good work. i really enjoy this channel. And i will most likely have to buy one of these.
I was just thinking I need something to use at home that I can use my pedal board and headphones, since I play late at night when my wife and kids are asleep.. I think you just found it for me. I thank you. On a separate note, Quilter is having a guitar show with other CA based companies on July 23rd.
I believe they do make a little gig bag for it, which costs about 30 bucks.

is quilter a tube amp? I’m a little confused on this
Wish you had a shop on this side of the Valley, Phil.
Bob (supporter)
When he kicked on the Riot pedal, it sounded exactly like Oasis! Pretty phlipping sweet.
Quilter does make carrying cases for the amp heads.
Great video! More than that, I'm loving the frequency of your videos, keep up the good work!
I have the Aviator first addition. I love it! I just run pedals in front of it and it's loud and clean. I have a love pedal I run in front of it and a one twelve cab with a Texas Heat from eminence and my tone is all there and then some. It only weighs like 5 pounds .

Also I can practice really quiet in my apartment because the tone is always the same at low volume.
cool review :) thanks Phil
That blue Tele looks so good man
Old thread.... How about a comparison of the Quilter Micropro Mach 2 versus Roland Blues Cube Hot?
Great review Phil, looks like a very clever small box that turns out to be big. & bought 2 t-shirts to support a good channel - keep up the good work Phil
thank you very much for the support.
Nice demo man! I want this little fella too. :-)
Im a Metal player so it did really well but what about Leads ?
What flat picks do you like? They sound on the heavy side. None of that "click" ya get from thins. Are they like jazz picks? I love the sharp/clean tones.
Eleven Rack currently retails around 300-350$ and has digital ins/outs, 2 separate outs for 2 amps, another 2 for the PA/studio monitors, has cab and amp sims, pedals for all kinds of guitars, input for electric, bass, acoustic and classical guitars as well as microphone, supports 48V phantom power, is a sound interface, is midi controllable. It may not be analog but it surely does blow this "mini head". AND if you need a power section, go check out the EHX Magnum 44 power amp.
eleven rack is the worst lol
if you don't read manual maybe... Tons of people use it and are quite happy with the results including myself. I'm not saying it can pull off a DT type of album sound but it certainly is better than this "mini head" thingy. At least I can record with a certain standard with it and not have mediocre sounds.
I've seen most of your videos, and they're great. But NOW I know where you got the cool riff that starts off lot's of your other videos. I always wondered about that. Awesome riffeage!
Would love to hear your review of the quilter superblock amps
Nice video. A space I practice at has some really lousy options in terms of amps available and I've been toying with idea of getting one of these and throwing it in my gig bag (which has a couple of very large padded pockets into which I'm sure the 101 would fit).
I’ve been really looking at micro heads lately. I’ve spent years carrying around big heavy tube amps but as I’m getting older it’s getting old. I’m really thinking that a Quilter or something similar and a floor wedge with the horn gone and a guitar speaker would make a great stage rig. Set the wedge in front like a monitor and mic it to keep stage volume down.
Super helpful. Thank you.
Im interested in trying the one version that has reverb.
very thoughtful and useful review. thanks
Good review. You could use the effects send as a direct out for recording. You'd only then have to use some Impulse Response software to get a 'miced' sound.
Wow what a Pandora's box of tone
Quilter does it again wonderful
That punk tone was sick.
Very cool demo!
Good for me i bring a sound system and a guitar head and cab but have no more room for a back up head. This will get you threw the night when your tube amp go's and they always have problems.
The tonal nuance of your settings between "grunge" and "90-s rock" is thought provoking
Are those fairies wearing boots?
Would love to know how the clean tone compares with this amp and the Fender Super Champ X2, above his right shoulder.
The "voice" selections Surf and Jazz are 100 Watts the rest are 50 watts. From what I read from Quilter labs.
You were one of my major influences in getting a Quilter. When are they going to send you the new 202 to review?
Man you got the wrong one! The Pro Block 200 has the reverb and direct out and it comes with a super gig bag for it!
Why was the 101 not set at full max wattage? Wanted hear how this sounded clean with/without pedals
Awesome demo.
Sounds like the Peavey Piranha
or in other words, like projectile feces dropped from an altitude of 1.240m (just enough to get that beginning crystallization but not enough to fully freeze) onto a parking lot covered in glass shards.
Go to 5:20 to skip all of the talking.
Thank you ;)
It is a narcissist...
@@Nicklowend wutt?
Cool amp, great video! :)
hey Phillip you think you could do a review or discussion vid on the gibson firebird 2016t thinking about grabbing one but lil hesitant on pulling the trigger.
That n4 is sick
Thank you. When I had it done my buddy put it on the N4 Nuno forum and I thought they were going to hunt me down and kill me..
do a demo with the bass block 800.
I dig your channel keep up the awesome work. Any chance you will be doing the Quilter micro block 45 next?
Any chance you of you doing a video on the new Interblock 45?
love my Quilter! great review.
Phillip how does it compare to the Crate Power Block that you recently did a vid on. thanks and keep it coming! K Y G!
Odd... I have one and it came with a pretty nice gig bag included. And my bass player got the new bass head a few weeks ago, which came with a nearly identical bag... and I know of a lot of other "block" players who have the bag. Philip, did you buy this, or did Quilter send you a demo?
I should add, I was privileged to "beta test" this model for them, SN "Test02". Just some slight revisions on my regular production one. I've been using either this little monster or my MicroPro for a few years now. For me, no previous SS amp was good enough in a live situation.
How is the quality of the fx loop? I'm thinking using this to power up my line 6 thru a 4x12.
You may suggest a tube pwr amp but this Quilter looks a good option.
A) Since there is no line out, is it loud enough for a backup amp in a live setting?
B) Can you review the Peavey Valveking 20MH micro head?
nevermind, see you already did the valveking.
Yes, it is loud enough for a rock band.
You might like to demo the Quilter Aviator line. I have the Aviator 2X10 combo. Sounds and behaves like a tube amp and does not have the different "voice" modes. I do not like the "voice" modes. Instead, the Aviator is a 2 channel, 100W amp with a full EQ, as well as an effects loop.
They used to make in USA...now stuff is starting to be made in China...I am not sure what effect this will have on Quilter...but they sound pretty good!
hey phill. I have a schecter Damien 6. its has some playing issues and shops have charged me money and I get it back with similar or worse results. could this just be my guitar is bad? or is it common to see people do shoddy work claiming they know what they are doing?
Great videos but this amp is missing the mark. Any recommendations for a lightweight head for Carlton tones?
Older video I know, but saw this amp as a pick on a jazz channel. Then saw your demo. Here's an idea to explore if you haven't (if you have, please point me to the vid!): As guitarists, why don't we get on the compact amp head bandwagon? These things sound great, but we're still lugging around Fender DeVilles, etc. Is there any REAL reason to be using heavy tube amps anymore?!?
Thanks for great video. For non modelling amp, which one is best for home use with pedal boards? Thx
Philip I love your videos! Why does the power only go up to %0 watts when its a 100 watt Amp?
It's a headroom thing. According to Quilter that is.
The 2 'clean' channels- Jazz and Surf do go up to 100 watts, so if you are on one of those voices and the dial says, for instance 10 watts, you are really at 20, and at 50 you are at 100, etc.
You should demo the Interblock
I love your videos and look for new ones everyday. You are a hard working man. Your playing was fine but that amp is missing something. I wanted one, a tired old back that was killed by a Vox AC30 and a Fender Black face will make a guy pray to this! Great demo but that just is too thin. Thanks buddy.
Great job with the editing
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!!
USA made is a definite +1 already
Great made review!
but does it djent? cool demo
looks nice ,orange micro any day
I think it really misses a D.I. - do you think the fx send could be used as a DI??
Pat Quilter suggests fx send as DI. You can also use HK RedBox (at the end of effects)) in the fx loop to get to the Board. I had the TB200, which has dedicated Balanced line Out ~ but wanted all the extra tone-shaping this one offers.
Love The Duke!
Hi Philip, hope you are well mate. Thanks a lot for your review it is great. I have a doubt though. I have recently bought a Quilter 101 reverb (it sounds amazing) and my unit says it is made in China. I was expecting a product made in California according to what you said. It doesn't make any difference really, I was just curious to understand what happened. Have they moved their production abroad?
The one I had was stamped made in USA. I have a new Quilter Pedal and it is stamped made in China. It is a bummer. But, it seems like the quality in the new product I got is good as well.
