- www.quilterlabs... Clean sounds are at the end of the video. I focused mainly on distorted, overdriven tones on this review, because it seems there are tons of demos of the clean tones...but this thing really kicks in the dirt mcgirt as well...very reminiscent of cranked Fender amp style overdrive, a'la Super Reverb scented crunch and sizzle. The amp get's AMAZING clean tones, and is louder than a pair of twin reverbs...but I wanted to showcase different combinations of eq and amp flavor style, to give you an idea of the crunchier side of the rainbow on this thing. I've really been enjoying the Quilter amps....suprisingly organic feel and tone, and is lightweight, and fits in your pocket...well, it's lightweight anyway!
I used my www.mjtagedfini... MJT relic strat, rocked with www.nicksilverp... Nick Silver Pickups , and one tasty white coiled www.thedivineno... Divine Noise Cable of boom. YEP!
Hate it when people say things sound like crap and their only experience with the amp is watch a youtube video on it. Played this and a couple other quilters at a local guitar shop, im a believer. And thats coming from a vox ac15 guy. These amps really are stellar and extremely versatile when you actually PLAY them or listen to them outside of youtubes shitty compressed audio.
Can the quilter get close to the box ac15 sound?
*Vox
If you dial it in, I bet you can get pretty close to the ac15 sound. Theres so many unique sounds that you can get out of this amp is amazing.
People need to play this amp in person, with their guitar, and with their own hands. Its a GREAT amp and anyone who says it sounds bad hasn't actually tried in person. It blows away all the other solid states and I'd reckon it sounds and feels better to play through than many of the tube amp at the price point without any of the downsides and weight. You gotta spend a couple weeks with it and learn how to use all the knobs.. it really opens up. I sold ALL my other tube amps after I got this and the only tube amp I kept was my Mesa Mark 5:35 just because its too good to get rid of. But regardless the Quilter does the job of so many of the original tube amps extremely well and is EASILY worth the $1000.
mines pushing 2 beyma liberty 8"s in coscia 2x12 cab. absolutely insane
I got one of these. I thought it was ok, great clean sounds and nifty distortion, but I'd still keep my tube amps and then I found a setting that is not in this demo. It changed my view. The owners manual ties the limiter to the boost. That is true but it really works through gain 1. Set both gain 1 and the limiter to 10 and you will see what I mean. That is where the squish is. I could now play any gig with just this amp and a guitar. Who wants to buy some of my big heavy tube amps? lol
I’ve placed all but one of my tube amps on the auction block! Fender ‘the Twin’, Mesa boogie Mark III red stripe, and fender Deville 2/12. Kept the Mesa Lonestar combo. These little amps are plain and simple: BEASTS! At 26 lbs. my 63 year old body loves them so much I bought 2.
Tone block 2, + block dock 12, and a MicroPro Mach 2/12. Both are 200 watts of heaven (in the right hands of course) I play jazz, fusion and R & B. Not much of a rocker, but that ‘growl’ is there when you reach down for it!
So is the search for the ultimate solid-state amp still on. Or is this amp it.
In the 80s and 90s I used a Randall rg80. It seems like solid state amps went downhill from there.
Great demo man, this really showed the guts of the overdrive voicing which is vital to us rock players, thanks!
There is so,so much you could do with this amp !!! Wow,,I would have a hard time deciding how I wanted to run it most of the time..All kinds of shapes !!!
Best demo I've seen of any Quilter so far!
Tin ear much? lol!
Wow. Loving those clean tones at the end! And nice playing, man!
I’m a Quilter fanboy, mainly from hearing it in a couple live performances. Where the Micropro Mach 2 shines is in dynamics. Hit the strings hard, and volume and distortion increases. Coddle the strings and the sound becomes soft and clean. Same goes for twiddling the volume knob.
I purchased one recently, do you ever use the Direct out for live? The mock two, unfortunately, does not have cabinet emulation. Still love it.
@@GregoryGuay hi. Sorry, but idk as I’m a home/jam w friends player. And my comments were based on being in the audience of other’s shows.
Very nice sounding amp even through my crappy computer speakers, I would love to hear one live. Great Demo!
I bought the orig version for my jazz box...it really is versatile as advertised and I have sold all my heavy tube amps...best tone I ever had and everyone who hears me says so. I would like to try the new one but no one near philly carries them...so its only on faith that I would try this one.
My favorite amp of all time
Nice little amp. Foot switch is essential, though. Should really come with it.
man awesome!keep it up and if you think noone is watching these i ll tell you that i am watching
your videos multiple times
Nice demo. Really brings out the many characteristics of the amp. I am intrigued.
love the sound of amp..need this for my pedal steel 🎸...
they actually make one just for the steel, but yeah this one can probably handle that too
So is this what we've been searching for for 50 years. Or at least I've been searching for the ultimate solid state. Or are we still searching.
Love the John Barry tune “beat girl” good job
Great Guitar playing every time.
***** Humbled...believe me, I'm as self conscious as anyone about my playing...I just keep telling myself, "nobody watches these things anyway". LOL! I need to do a blooper reel sometime showing all the terrible playing that gets left on the editing room floor...there's some atrocious stuff, for sure!
Little mistakes give music character and let you know a human person is playing it not too bad of a problem if you ask me. I love your freakin guitar playing man!
I am torn between the mach 2 with a 12 inch speaker and the aviator with 2x10. The mach 2 has several different distortion and is light. We play motown, funk, some classic rock and smooth jazz. Which one should I choose, need help. There are none here in Charleston Sc for me to try all of the youtube videos sound good.
Nicely done demo! Sounds great and nice playing...
Can you go from clean to dirty and boost both from the foot switch? I play live in a band and need to have a super clean and sparkling tone one minute but then I need the crunch and also need to boost and play lead guitar but I cannot be turning around and mess with the knobs. It looks like a two channel amp but one of the channels looks like its set up for a microphone.
It’s been five years, did you figure this out yet lol? If I understand correctly, you can go from channel one, to the clean channel 2 which is more for acoustic, but you cannot use the footpedal to change the “Voice“. This is extremely unfortunate! Almost crazy! So I guess you have to adjust the gain and use the boost section to go from a little dirty to very dirty
TB200 has 200watts plus another 200 watts of headroom. It would depend on the style of music as to how it handled bass.
Allan holdsworth played and helped design some of their amps. Long live the master of the guitar.
the master of guitar is me
Have you compared this model to the 8"? Which would you go for any why?
5:31 - Let It Loose
sounds great as usual gmd..... would love to see your take on a victory countess v 30
Quilter is Lightning in a Bottle
I have the mach II 8 inch combo. But get break up at high clean volumes. I need more headroom. Will an extension 12 cab do it?
Not my taste but good. It does move air good. When he hits a low sustained note it blurs the picture. COOL
@ 9:42 Gain 2 was dimed, but there was nothing plugged in. Is that a psyco-acoustic effect? Love it! Cleans start at 10:10.
I saw that too lol 😂
I saw you have the 210 aviator...which did like better..??
How do you change channel? Do you need to move the guitar cable from one input to the other? I can't see a channel button anywhere on the control panel.
Get the foot switch it opens up more options! Like, with with footswitch , you can be plugged into ch 1 and switch to ch 2 and use the tremolo in ch 2 that way
@@GregoryGuay thank you!
You just sold me an amp, man.
Love the cleans on this amp - I dare say they beat my old 68 deluxe (modded, which may explain things). What I'm missing is the magic that happens when I combine the compression of a tube amp with fuzz and/or overdrive. Perhaps I could get this with a tube preamp pedal? I also found that using either the channel or boost for leads was...challenging. So was eqing for different guitars - very challenging to stand out in the mix without overwhelming (reminded me of a mesa for this reason).
wonder how it would handle an overdrive
Andragon90 This is a good question. I've heard the Quilter amps behave much like a tube amp for something that is solid state, but I've never heard an overdrive plugged into one.
I have the ToneBlock 200. It's not the same amp as this but it takes a clean boost and tube screamer like a champ. Just like a decent tube amp.
Andragon90 Standby for demo...will run a few different pedals into it and see if she can stomach it...
Michael Fenton I've heard that the clean channel is a tone block minus the master volume. I have a Mach 2 8" and it seems the same. Also, the 8 would keep up with a drummer I'm guessing the HD 12 would keep up with two.
Does it have an effects loop?
Jack Black?
Do I get the 8, 10 or 12?
Yes.
I really want a this amp. But I don't think it will keep up with a Powerful Loud drummer. (he can't play soft, too young to understand). Maybe slave a 2/12 cab across the room? Great demo Brodah..
scrogginhood
Get the head version
Skippy McStringStrum I did not know there was one. Thank you for the info.
scrogginhood
It's pretty affordable. Around $600 - $700. They also make a cheaper version called the Aviator gold series.
scrogginhood This would hold up well in rehearsal and small club even with a beast of the beats...but @skippymcstringstrum is right...the head version, rocked into a cab, will defeat even the drummer that uses a marching snare and baseball bats for sticks.
Thank you GMD & Skippymcstringstrum for taking the time to reply. It will translate into a sale for Quilter.
You sound like Papastache.
its sounds like Jack Black is doing the demo.
Sounds like a solidstate to me...
oh bullshit.
Patrick, I concur. It sounds solid-state to me. Although I have to say, it is as good a sound as any solid-state amp I've heard. I'll stick with my tube amps.
@@ThodEssmann I agree with this comment. This is a very good sounding ss amp, and there ain't nothing wrong with that.
ok, ...sounds like a SS amp. Now what?
Not really. I’ve seen one in person and that little thing rocked. Sounded like a tube amp trust me
Don't care for your demos, man ... because you always have the bass way too high.
A friend lent his to me for three days in an attempt to sell it. I have all kinds of amps , speakers cabs and processors I've accumulated over 35 years of playing. I could never make this NOT sound flat and lifeless. It literally sucked the life out of my playing. I have a cheap Chinese hotone 5 watt amp pushing a 1960A cab that sounds better than this bone dry.
Braxton Curry It's not the amp... It's your playing. Don't blame the equipment if your fingers can't make it happen.
You are so full of shit. I'm in a band with a guitarist that could easily be a L.A. studio musician. Among a dozen amps that he owns he brings this to all our jams/ gigs. IT SOUNDS FANTASTIC, and it's capable of getting loud as fuck when needed. It easily keeps up with our drummer and he can be a basher when we play Fusion metal driven tunes. I'm a total tubes snob and I'm definitely buying one of these. 20 pounds. Wtf
sounds like crap
man awesome!keep it up and if you think noone is watching these i ll tell you that i am watching your videos multiple times
