Would love a power amp shootout, like this vs. the Blackstar Amped1, Powerstage, etc.
This
All of those are great options for a back up rig or travel rig when you can't bring a real amp. 🤘🤘🤘
He did one on his second channel! Which I only saw because I searched "guitar power amp test" because I wanted to see the same thing. /watch?v=MbH2PHyBi2A
@@soad11dudeThanks !
The video in question :
"POWER AMPS MATTER! - 5150 Preamp through 20 different power amps! " :
ruclips.net/video/MbH2PHyBi2A/видео.html
The ToneBlock and Overdrive units seem to be secret weapons for modelers and light travelers. Kurt Ballou, Zuma of Kruelty, and some others seems to stand by them.
"Zuma of Kruelty"
Interesting !
Taylor Young put Zuma on, which probably means the Kurt Ballou probably put T-Young on
@@cloverfield23666hehe
I absolutely loved this video. The tones were powerful, but more importantly, you seemed to be happy just to play instead of having to dial in an amp for a demo. I'm glad you had that experience.
Played two shows last weekend with my Quilter. Got compliments at both shows! Definitely seeing them more in the hardcore/DIY scene these days.
Which Quilter do you own and how do you use it?
It's so funny you made a video on this! I recently went to a show and was blown away by this bands live tone. I started to look at their gear and noticed the guitar players both had this unit! Sounds great!
Yes!!! Quilter are amazing. You should definitely demo the quilter overdrive. I've seen converge and cave in play through that and it was beefy.
Simon Smith swears by Quilter..check out his stuff ; )
11/10 acting - they should cast you for "I think you should leave with Tim Robinson"
I love that show
It shows just how good that sounds when you play. I don't know but your riffage is inspiring. Thanks man.
appreciate that, my friend
Lovely video! Nice to see a video finally using Quilter for highgain. You are refering to it as a poweramp though while you are using its preamp ;)
still being used as a power amp
@@belligerentamateurthat would mean you use the fx return input. This way is more like a dirt pedal into a normal amp. But no matter what I think, it is a grwat video, great playing and sounds!
Dude....that thing sounds KILLER!! I’ll need to check out some examples in the clean, mid gain, and lead w/effects.....but I’m confident it will work in those application. Great demo!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thank you, Mr. Ritchie. I'm very impressed. You're a fine actor.
Great video, Kyle! I'm seriously impressed with the Quilter. I play classic rock and I tried another guitarists rig at a gig recently and he had a Quilter And WOW, it was great. I'm getting too old to be hauling around a heavy tube amp. So I'm gonna get one of these and with my HB 2-12 celestion speaker 🔊 cab I should be good to go. Thanks again for a terrific video!😀
I've had 2 Tone Block 200's for years. Got them rack mounted with the Quilter bracket. I use them for a stereo rig setup. Mine are the discontinued model. I will never sell these. They are really amazing. I am going to get another Block for a grab and go small pedal board.
Yeah Kyle I got the Quilter Mach 3 Pro 200 amp that I use in the Plexi setting and use the Walrus Audio Eraser for gain and an overdrive to tighten it up and it delivers. Doesn’t hurt to then use the Gup Tech Ped Eq pedal in the FX return for more open and deep sounds.
I just got a mach 3 because I wanted to rack it with a power conditioner/regulator. I am hoping this sounds great, pick up my 4x12 tomorrow. Have a bunch of pedals to go with it.
I just acquired the tone block 202. Thanks so much for your demo. Regarding your heavy sounds... Oh, twist my arm harder!
Great video, as always 🤘 I have been using Quilters for years. They are definitely a secret weapon. They do everything from the cleanest Jazz tones to the thickest chugs. My main set up with a Quilter is an SNK pedals VHD into a Quilter Overdrive. Cheaper and lighter solution to an actual Ampeg VH and it sounds amazing.
Your feedback smile is epic!!🤣🤣🤣 That amp sounds amazing! Wow! It really sounds awesome
Thanks bud. This is pretty exactly what I need to try
Very cool and very light.
I love my quilter hx stomp setup and they both fit on my pedal board i lugged around 4-12 cabs and tube amps for years and now it’s just my board and a orange 2-12 open back.
I have the 200 and the 45. Love em both. I also picked up the bass block 800. They are all fantastic. Taken them all on tour.
I own the Tone Block 202 and the Overdrive 202. Both are simply amazing amps. I use mine mostly as a pedal platform. They take pedals better than I've seen any amp take. The Tone on these amps are incredible in my opinion. I'm looking to get the Quilter Aviator Mk3. It sounds like another incredible amp from Quilter. I really like the demo you did using it with the 6505. Very very cool!
I kind of like how the 6505 sounds better through the Quilter than it's own power amp. haha
This thing is so killer! Sounded great as usual 🤘
That intro will get you headhunted for an Adam Sandler romcom
Earth Crisis and Snapcase will always hold a special place in My heart! Remember the crate power blocks, AMT tube cakes, VHT Micro power, Carvin Mach 100, Tech 21 engines, 5mm and other EHX stuff like howitzer, and of course BabyBomb. Well a lot of it is getting rebranded. Love You Brother! Thanks!
Thanks Kyle - great vid. That thing sounds fantastic. How does this compare to the Blackstar Amped1 for a power amp?
I have the Quilter Interblock 45 & Love it! Have had my eye on the other models. 🤘👽🎸
"And I'm not complaining!" Hahaha good times Kyle. Wouldn't mind a demo of the KSR PA50 or 25 tube power amp. Also, love Earth Crisis, saw the Firestorm anniversary show in CA back in November.
for jam sessions away from home Iam really a fan of solid state poweramps and preamps. Last session I combined the Orange terrorstamp with the dirty tree and put that hrough the SD Powerstage. Used a 2x12 with a V30 and a greenback. Killer metalsetup for c# tuning
I LOVE my Quilter amps! I've been hoping you'd get to these amps! They're crazy awesome little monster amps! 🤘🤘
What's your favorite
@BorisBidjanSaberi11 Right now it's definitely the Superblock UK. I can really get a lot of amazing tones out of it! I'm using a Friedman BE OD Deluxe in front end and a Gup Tech Que Bec pedal in the fx loop.
I definitely didn't just box up a mesa stiletto from my work to send to someone that shares your same name. LMAO.
Oh no you didn't! 😮
eyyyy! hope you packed my new baby well! 😂
@@belligerentamateur I used a huge box and wrapped it more than they train us to. I hope it gets there safely!
@@kimsushiii very much appreciate you my friend! n
This may work nice with my Friedman IR-X, very cool. Thank you for this.
I have a Toneblock 200 which came before the 202. It only has a Gain, Tone & Wattage controls and no FX Loop or character switches.
It’s louder than all get out. Plenty of headroom. I used it for a long time to power my Axe FX II instead of using the power section of my ‘94 5150. My biggest complaint is that I feel there is some bass roll off in the preamp.
7:25 is probably one of my favorite tones I've heard on the channel so far. Sounds fantastic.
Great grandchild of the good ole Crate Powerblock 😁
I think you’ll like the Quilter Overdrive 200 or 202 since it is emulating the tones of a Mark IIC+ and a Dumble Overdrive that the Quilter crew got their hands on. It’s their high gain amps.
When your intros aren’t spunky, I usually don’t have the same upbeat attitude when I’m listening to it so don’t ever stop it. Thanks.
I have a tone block 201. Very good for pedal-based rigs.
I'd love to see you demo the tonex with your 6505-1992 edition profile, using the quilter as the power amp straight into that 212. Or a 412. To me that's what I'm looking for and hoping that it's going to be exactly as I am imagining based on what this Poweramp test proved to me. That quilter is absolutely badass
7:23 sold me on it lmao. I always thought the 5150 power section one was of the beefiest power sections you can run a preamp or modeler into, and honestly that sounded just as beefy and gnarly but in it's own way.
EDIT: dude that sound at 14:50 was fucking eeeeeevil
that intro was amazing! hahaha rofl! your awesome Kyle!
Oh Kyle.
I have a Quilter OD 202 and I'm selling it. The overdrive channel channel with the limiter can do some interesting things, but not for me. I just prefer tube distortion. Old school I guess. These things win all the battles when it comes to size and weight and volume, it's insanely loud for being so small and light! If I ever need a fly rig I'd definitely consider picking up one of these though, just gotta find the right preamp! Thanks for vid Kyle!
Sounds great, Kyle. Too much cool gear out there to choose from these days. Any chance you could get your hands on the Ashdown Newt from Sweetwater? It's a 200-watt pedal board amp somewhere in the vein of this and a Seymour Duncan Powerstage.... leaning more towards the Powerstage in design. It looks interesting, but there aren't many reviews for it out there.
I play a ToneX Pedal through a Blackstar Amped1. I wonder if in this screnario the Quilter sounds better, because it’s not supposed to add some kind of poweramp colouration since this is already baked into the ToneX capture.
Love my Quilter 101mh, don't think I've ever had the volume above 1/2 and still been told it's too loud. even scaled down to a Blockdock 12 and just grab and go with my little combo.
I got to gig with Earth Crisis at Sea Seas in Moosic/Wilkes Barre in the 90s. We borrowed some gear from CHamber. CHAMBER was a very underrated band from PA that was kinda like heavy proto ScreamoCore. I have been thinking of going the small SS power amp route with my REVV preamp pedals and drives.. Just stick one of my tube mic preamps in there to warm it up after the preamps but before the 10 band Caline EQ
I used go to sea seas back in the day. Never thought I’d see another person ever commenting about that place.
I played SeaSeas all the time.
They used to have great shows.
Also played the LOA Pancake House show.
Would love to see a comparison between the 202 and the Seymour Duncan PS 200. I’ve been super happy with the PS 200 but also curious about Quilter gear. It’d be awesome to see how they stack up against each other as they seem to be the most popular/best talked about from what I’ve seen 🤘
Interesting that you ran the preamp into the front of the Quilter, because you can also just run it through the FX return, so you can bypass the preamp on the Quilter and just use it as a power amp. That way you're not running a preamp into another preamp. You do get an extra set of EQ controls if you run it through the front, so that's cool, but it's hard to avoid coloring from the second preamp. Is there a reason why you went into the front instead of the loop? I'm asking because I always run my preamps through my Quilter Overdrive 202 into the FX return...
It puzzles me that they didn't add controls for that poweramp section, like "presence", "depth/resonance", etc
@@djabthrash Yes. That would have been nice. That's one of the reasons why I use a separate preamp through the return instead of the preamp itself. On its own, it sounds really good, but it doesn't have enough control if you're planning on using different bottoms/speakers. As a gigging musician, you don't always know what bottom you're getting on backline especially when on tour. So presence and depth are particularly useful in those circumstances. I think they decided to leave those controls off to save more space and make it super small and light (which it is). However, it is definitely a compromise.
I thought it sounded really, really really good.!! Especially paired with the synergy preamps.
Thinking this thing would pair very well with my Axe FX III
Just found out about these and they are created by the co-founder of QSC. Really weird timing to see this demo. Thanks for the great content!
Sounds pretty sick!!!
Great Vid Kyle, I see the 6534+ in the background for some time now. When do we get to hear it?
I would love to hear their with a modeler, like an axe-fx or a quad cortext
Quilter ToneBlock 202 is fantastic! It's my main gigging amp these days as it's incredibly lightweight and is more than loud enough for most gigging situations. I've only had two real issues with it and other gear. 1- The EVH 5150 pedal from MXR Sounds really bad through this amp (think late 2000's Line6 insane channel). 2- For single coil guitars it has WAY too much bass and can really muddy up your live sound without some kind of low cut/eq in the signal chain.
I have a Quilter Pro block 200 and its amazing!
Look into the overdrive 202
So funny! That's the exact Peavey Rage 158 I am using atm. Put a Celestion in it, and it's not too bad for what it is.
I run a this heavy earth flesh rot into the power section of a quilter overdrive 200. It's massive.
Sounds pretty big 🤘
I bought a UK Cub, for gigging, since we no longer have a crew and it's much easier to haul than my Marshalls. We A/Bd it against my main head, and while it of course doesn't have quite the grunt of a 4x12, it's shockingly close. And it's louder than Hell- I barely have the volume up, and it more than keeps up with my VERY loud drummer.
I use a Superblock UK's power section when I'm playing at bedroom levels. It sounds better than my boutique amp's tube power amp at 80 db ish or less. I also use two of them with my Landry LS30 for a w/d/w rig.
Kyle, you really need to look into doing a demo of the Landry Lexi or 100M
The quilter sounds pretty decent!
The Orange Pedal Baby 100 is another similarly suited item, though it doesn't have an effects loop, and it's just a clean preamp and class A/B power amp. TBH I recently bought an Orange Super Crush 100 and it sounds a lot better to put preamp pedals in the FX loop on the clean channel, with your overdrive going into the front input of the amp. I have a Joyo Oxford Sound, and it surprised me, how similar the preamp pedal and the amp's actual high gain preamp sound.
I'd also love you to make a video on the Overdrive 202, both as a standalone amp and as a poweramp!
I think the guitar player for Chat Pile was using a Quilter last year in Baltimore. Sounded great.
Love the Bane Riff at 08:15
What do we gotta do to get a Tonex profile of that tone at 7:36 on the tonenet?
Good old quilter amps. 101 has some great clean tones in it.
Overdrive 202 is even better!🤩
When are we gonna see you review a Bluguitar amp1 iridium. I saw you had one awhile back when you posted a pic of your pedals.
Can someone explain what he did to be able to use both amps together? I want to know where he plugged in his cables.
Probably using a Radial Engineering Headbone.
Fryette just introduced the Cyclops that would do what he’s doing as well
awesome, as usual 🤘
TONALLY AWESOME DUDE 😁
I could tell it was a Quilter even in the blurred thumbnail ; )
This needs a tube version and I'd buy that for my Friedman IRX :D
I was using a Quilter Pro Block 200 for awhile until I came across a Seymour Duncan Powerstage 200 and ended up going with the Seymour Duncan one and sold the Quilter one.
Do you like this better than the Power Stage that you commonly use?
I use an Overdrive 200 with my Quad Cortex for fly ins
Kyle do you still have your Ceriatone Chupacabra? I don't see it in the background. Man that one rips.
Nearly got all Dag Nasty-ish there Kyle-us 😁🤘🏼
Love to hear Tonex pedal into it
That shirt is hilarious Kyle!
Converge and Cave in both play Line-6 Helixes into quilters live now.
Lol, I had one those rages way way back the day!
Would love to hear what the IR-X would do in this.
Better than lugging 60 lb heads around. The fine differences in sound won't matter in any live situation. I'd love to see a shootout with the different amp pedals. Especially the Laney IRF Loudpedal.
I prefer the Quilter power amps sound, much better note seperation and super tight.
Didn’t know you could get such a full tone from just a preamp pedal and power amp
It’s the same as any other amp lol
ISP Stealth Pro is my go to small power amp. They remind me of a beefier Mosvalve.
I first heard of quilter from Kurt ballou
Running helix through it
How do you like them apples?
Glad you did a video on this. I feel like quilter doesn't get enough love. Edit I'm going to buy 10 of these so I can drown out the state of maryland from central PA lol
Hey Kyle, random question related to the solid state situation: how much do you spend on tubes with all those heads? :O
Not more than if he was using only 1 amp all the time...
Best comedy on RUclips
Can it compete colume wise with a 100w tube head in a live setting?
easily. Tested it at practice against my other guitarists rig - Rev E Dual Rec and a Peavey 5150, absolutely no problems keeping up.
Fantastic. Thank you.
Big fan of your channel. Now I have something that you may like to hear. Science Earthling amp. - HEAVY!!! -
Quilters are no joke for sure!
quilter makes soe serous stuff. however also my trusty valvestate 8004 power amp is not that bad. frfr quilter system sounds almost identical to my linear mode on the valvestate, hi-fi if you can pass my assertion. good for modelers and preamps however not at all a valve power amp sound for sure. good but different
Better than Powerstage 200?
