Quilter Aviator Cub: sweetwater.sjv.io/anXj9o
P.S. that information I gave to you came from Chris Parks the CEO of Quilter Lab.
If it sounds good to you its your new rig. You can go chasing the tone dragon another 20 years but you got it now. When you can buy a tweed too. Eventually you end up like the rest of us with 20 different amps cabs and shit in closets all over your house. Tone is a disease. They should have meetings for people like us.
Lololol if the meetings are catered, I’m there!
@@TomButwin I think the point I was trying to make is if that rig seems to work for you at the moment, run with it. Its gold. But I never found an amp that does everything I want, whenever I want. Every amp has its tone and every tone has its use. They say variety is the spice of life. It's true. Having options today is great but I dont think electric guitarists are ever satisfied with their tone. For us, tone is always a work in progress.
I’ve been a quilter guy for several years now. Pat’s amps are lightweight, reliable and function perfectly. Glad you found one!
Couldn't be happier with it!
I bought one of these during the tube shortage scare and thought it was the best sounding solid state amp i had ever plugged into! After enjoying it for a time i bought the Uk version and eventually the Mach 3 head. I'm no longer worried about a tube shortage! These things sound great for what they are. They even have a very small 25 watt pedal board version called a superblock that sounds great also! Lastly, I wasn't expecting much when I ordered it but was very pleasantly surprised and I must say it also really shines in the studio!
I'm actually shocked more people aren't onto all of these things Quilter has available. They are really, really good.
Tube shortage? What are you referring to? There's never been a tube shortage. Ever.
@@incredifunk Well, they sure as did try to make it look that way for a time. There were several RUclips posts about it. Either way tubes have gotten too pricey for my wallet. Just sayin' it's a good amp!
had 7 hours of back fusion surgery at Christmas. Matchless will gather some dust now. Will be getting a Quilter. Best model for fender cleans and speaker choices - lots of headroom please. thank you❤ for doing this video!
Aw man, I know people who have had similar surgeries. I sincerely wish you the best and hope it brings relief to you. The Aviator Cub is such a great and lightweight choice. Thank you for watching!
Glad you dug the Quilter! The Tweed setting is my favorite too. You can also run two inputs together if you wanna get crazy.
I owe it to you, sir! You made your Aviator Cub sound SO good.
@@TomButwin 🤘🏼🕺🏻
You can run all 3 together, that is really amazing!
Quilters are great. I had the chance to play the Overdrive 202. Great products and works well with pedals.
I'm a diehard tube amp guy, now a Quilter guy. I now own 5 Quilters, sold all but two tube amps and the ones I have never leave my studio v
They are seriously legit. I don’t know what kind of magic they’re putting in there to make it happen, but it’s simple, straight forward, and sounds great.
Sounds great. I am a Devout Fender-guy, and the only 2 solid-state amps ( that Inspire me = Tone wise ) are The Quilter and the Yamaha THR 30II. I need those glassy Pristine "Cleans" as my pedal platform. oNe LovE from NYC
Right there with you on Fender tones. This thing sounds so good and I mean it sincerely.
I have the same amp. Does almost everything bar massive rock
Plug into tweed and turn up mid for a sound approaching uk amps, too
Is it plenty loud to gig with? And did you even think about the mach 3 or tone block with a cabinet. I really lie the aviator but never heard one in person.
Depends on the gig. If you're not micing it or using the line out, you can definitely use it in *most* average gigging situations. I've been onstage at a 1,000 seat club with one. The line out was being used and it was in the floor/wedge monitor mix. In that setting, it was PLENTY of power. I haven't played the Mach 3 or Tone Block.
Here's a tip. Get a "Y" cable and plug into the Tweed and Blackface at the same time. That sounds amazing
A couple people have told me that! Gotta try it.
Any updates 2 months later? I dont want to deal with tubes and my JC40 died...
I’m still loving it and I’m definitely not going to buy a Tweed any time soon. Depends on your use case, but I really like the amp.
Dude. Like last night I was sitting on the floor with my quilter and an older deluxe reverb using an ABY switch. Trying to get them to sound quite similar. I just made the exact same discovery. It’s the Tweet input that I was after all along. Like you, I went straight to the black face And it was too scooped. No wonder they put tweed as the first input on the amp. I got a kick out of your video here because you were also sitting on the floor with a bunch of cables and petals like I was
Ha! I love it! Tweed for the win!
So, is the Blonde Fender similar to or same as the transitional Brownface amps?
If so i am sold! The brown Princeton tone is one of my favorites of all time.
Great demo, buddy, thanks! 🙋🎸🎶
Quilter says it's modeled after a '62 Blonde...I think. Thanks for watching!
Quilter sounds great but I will keep my Blues Cube Hot British EL84 modified and my blonde Tone master Deluxe Reverb as they also sound great but both have attenuation which is a great feature. I thing Quilter not offering any attenuation is a big missed opportunity
Attenuation on these solid state amps is definitely useful (I’ve got a Katana with it), but I would argue it isn’t necessary. The Quilter has a speaker volume knob which is pretty much the same idea, just sweepable, rather than a knob with detents.
@@TomButwindidn’t realise that, thanks for the info
I have a Quilter 101 Reverb and Blockdock 10TC that I love. I actually am choosing to go away from tubes. Quilters offer a lot of tones and seem well made.
Loving my Aviator Cub!
101R owner as well ;-) Together with the Blockdock 10TC. I've played that thing in a full band: drummer, bass, other guitar + vocals. Master volume was only half way up and it was plenty loud 🙂 I don't think I'll ever get back to tubes.
Is all the gain coming from the Nordvang?
Thanks!
Good eye! 90% of it, yes. But the Quilter can get a nice feaux-edge of breakup sound going as well. Quite nice.
@TomButwin Oh, I know, I have both the US and UK Cubs. Best solid state amps I've come across, and I believe the Cubs are the best amps in the Quilter line.
Totally agree. It’s a real joy to play.
can you please run through all your pedal settings used in this video. I want to replicate this EXACT tone - especially what’s played in the intro/outro! Can you also speak on the limiter knob?
I came to the conclusion that I dont sound any different whether i play through my solid state Quilter mach 2 or DRRI, its just an amplified electric guitar sound at the end of the day. If youre not a 'tone sensitive' person, then you can make solid state work in a live situation. Add some compression and the right drive pedal and its worthy of any gig.
I can tell you that it's definitely not solid state circuitry that's holding my playing back! lol
Stick with the Quilter; it sounds great!!
I agree! I love the amp!
Get an A/B box and plug into both the tweed and blackface at the same time. Oh yeah, also get a UA FX Dream pedal and you will have full Deluxe functionality including vibrato and 6 speaker choice using the built in IRs. Your welcome.
Well, thanks. I like the dual input idea.
3:28 Should got a Bluescube Hot.i think your hearing the pedals.
Pedals were set the same for all three inputs, so you get a fair comparison. They definitely add to it, but the raw sound of the amp is wonderful too.
@@TomButwinwhat pedals and relative settings for pedals? Also how are you recording? Mic or rec/direct out?
Every guitarist needs a Fender Tweed amp or a Quilter Aviator Cub
I like the way you’re thinking.
Just enjoy the amps and tones that you already have if you like them.
Great advice.
Easy! Sell the Deluxe and get a Mach 3 or another Cub and play a wet / dry rig 😉
I love the idea of two Cubs!
Never sell any gear man. You'll be fine, you can play. Wait till you figure out that when you play the "PRS NF3 into a Quilter" sounds exactly like you playing a "Tele in to the Blackface". And if not exactly, your tone knob can sort it.
Well, I wish I had been able to keep that NF53 I played now...
Wait....your Silver Sky isn't possessed?
Oh it is. The only thing keeping it in check is the Illumine. Doubles as a ghost trap.
Great Amp!!
Leave the Tweed, keep the Quilter and the Cannolis.
What about the cannolis now?
@@TomButwin The sound of "Quilter" made me think of 'Cannoli' from a well known and parodied "Hit" scene in the movie the "Godfather". You will definitely find it in a YT search under: "Leave the Gun, take the Cannoli."
I love this. Sorry you had to explain it to me lol. Brilliant work.
Purchase a Headstrong I'll King, Tom it's a (fender prinstoñ)...
I’ll check it out!
If it's got the sound you want, you have arrived. Solid State? Who cares? if the Keebler elves were in there I wouldn't care if it sounds good. and works every time. I was a dyed-in-the-wool tube guy for 50 years. Marshalls(when they were still Marshalls), Fenders (of every era), Mesa Boogie(in 1981) Vox, Silvertone...all great amps and all with drawbacks...heavy, dependent on finding good tubes, in constant need of maintenace, expensive(once used gear became "vintage...heaven help us all) and, most important, you had to get them to their sweet spot before they were really sounding good which was usually followed by..."turn down" from bandmates, sound guys and club owners. I don't have or want tube amps anymore. I've got 4 Quilters(US Cub, Tone Block 202, Superblock UK and 101 Reverb).They are all great, sound good at any volume, sound like the amps they are modeled after, are light, flexible(way more features than any of my old Dinosaurs), inexpensive and loud as hell if you want that. The only hang up i can see is that most people don't realize that the tone stack is active and very sensitive. The other thing is the Limiter which is very interactive with the gain control. Like any good piece of gear, there's a learning curve and, oh, the speaker matters. The stock speaker in the cub sounds great, especially once it's broken in, but so do a number of others(try a Greenback with the Superblock UK). Patience and time spent dialing it in and you've got a light weight , inexpensive & wonderful amp. I wish I'd had one 50 years ago.
Love this. There’s fun and magic in big, loud tube amps, but for most of us, the practicality of something like the Cub wins out, if we’re being honest. I’m a huge fan. Plus, the people and company are a real joy to work with. Can’t go wrong.
@@TomButwin Interesting. I agree, great company. Every time I've emailed them, Pat Quilter himself responds. It's really nice to be treated well and taken seriously even if you are not a "name". Amazing. Try that with Fender or any of the other "biggies".
Listen folks these amps sound great for a solid state but saying it’s better than a tube amp is insane! Because it doesn’t.. there’s so much a tube amp covers than just handling pedals & getting loud. Close but no cigar 😉
It gets real close though…and sometimes, for us working musicians, that’s what makes more sense on a gig.
Well that all depends on the tube amp, the condition of it, and how loud you can get with it. I love tube amps but I’d suggest a Quilter can get you more enjoyable tones under more circumstances than a good tube amp. I use both btw, but the best tube amps are mostly no more than 5W and more typically are 1W to get the sound at reasonable volumes.
Borrow a tweed, play it at home and in a band or group, and see how you feel about it.
Sell the quilter and the fender and get the one you want
Honestly, I’d sell the Fender before the Quilter at this point.
in the future when women robot will be everyday mothers, g.f or spouses, men woul never know the difference from the real thing....same on guitar amps...throw that crap away it sounds like a plastic mini 9 volts battery amp.
🤖🤖🤖
@@TomButwinI bought a nice Eastman with the Lover Pickup, but my amp is a $200. Fender Champion, and I can't get a nice mellow jazz tone on it....trying to decide between a Quilter and blues junior...the more I read the more confused I get, with all these expert opinions on you tube!
I have the same amp. I Y jack into the tweed and black face. It works for me. I only use a little cheap Y jack. Just a suggestion. Give that a try. Peace.
Didn’t realize I could do that. Interesting! I’ll try it.
@@TomButwin Do it! You can get some great sounds with the combined inputs. I use the Tweed and Black.
@@TomButwin Sometimes I use a Y cable and play through two inputs, but I also have a Morley ABC pedal that lets me play through one, two, or all three inputs at the same time.
Man it's hard to play with one single amp once you use a ABY ...Morley majes a good one ...or used to for about 90 bucks. For the longest time I ABY'd a Marshall JCM 600 212 combo and a Fender Deluxe Reverb. The fact that you can ABY this one amp is very valuable but I'd have to have an external cabinet for the tweed output. Part of the magic of ABY ...is different speaker types , sizes, etc. Then again , one speaker pushing the two separate inputs from the same amp might just be great enough.
