Super Block US is a great amp. I run it through a 10” Patriot Canabis Rex, Blows a Blues Junior away, great for Jazz, Blues, makes other solid state amps sound like tin cans.
Just FYI: Quilter is a California company (also confusingly labeled, CA) based in Costa Mesa. I didn't realize the "61 Blonde" (Fender Bassman?) was identified with the surfing sound. I'l have to try that out. Thx
I have an SBUS too. The EQ is an active system, not passive like a normal amp. With the knob pointed straight up it's the same as having the control dimed on a normal amp. Anything clockwise past the straight up point is actually adding additional "boost", for lack of a better term at the moment, to the frequency set. Good demo!
@@LearningCurveGuitar I'll split this into two replies, since in one I'll try to post a link to a TGP thread that also touches on the EQ section, if YT allows it. This is what the owners manual means when it says: "EQ SECTION: LOW, MID, and HIGH controls provide a wide range cut/boost over three frequency bands to add further control over the basic tone contours selected by the VOICE switch." On The Gear Page, there's a thread that was started back in September, 2021, "NAD: Quilter Superblock UK". on page 3, post #41, begi8ns a short discussion of how the EQ functions on the Superblock. I'll post the link in a separate reply in case YT dumps it.
Would you recommend this to someone who wanted to go ampless? Or would you recommend something else? I'm primarily after Fender style clean sounds but also like some overdrive at times.
I mean, it’s your call. I like this a lot. It’s plenty loud, it takes pedals great, it has nice gain, the xlr out is great for a pa or recording. It doesn’t have a tube, I don’t think it sounds good with over drive pedals, but I have a low gain distortion that does the trick. I like it a lot
tube amps will not go away despite all the advances in technology. The price of tubes is in part due to the withdrawal of Russian made tubes-for obvious reasons, and that there are fewer factories making them
61=Fender blonde deluxe reverb 57=Fender tweed deluxe 65=Fender blackface deluxe reverb These are what they are trying to emulate. And sorry they fall short by miles.

Thx for the demo. I just got one. I liked your neil young demo.
I have this amp
I really like it
Just using the 1 watt power
Practicing at home
I love the SBUS so much I just bought the SBUK!

Excellent demo, thanks! I've been looking at this, the Simplifier and on the really cheap side, the Joyo American Sound for my small busking rig.
Glad I could help, best of luck
I push mine with a good overdrive. Sounds great! Yes, love my tube amps but this is a perfect alternative.
An excellent review, thank you
You’re welcome

Good catch.

Wow, thank you for the info. This is the most informative comment I’ve ever seen! I am not being sarcastic. Thanks.
@@LearningCurveGuitar You're most welcome!

Use their combo amp the Aviator Cub. If you need 200w and all their amp voices plus some get the Mach 3.
I have 12AX7s that are still running and sounding great, they are older than you.
Those are some pretty old tubes

what audio interface are you running this into on your computer? what DAW are you using
I believe I recorded that into a tascam
FYI - your vocal Mic is distorting.
Thanks
the claim by some that these put out the equivalent of 25 tube watts is not correct
True
It will with the correct cab. Easily reaches 100dB.
The sound here does not make justice to the amp itself. There is some static plastic noise in this video.
Did you listen past the opening clip, which is mimicking a Neal young sound?
Why your gain so high ;-;
At the beginning of the video I’m doing a Neal Young tone.
My bro get some mic, plus I here much more of your dry signal considering you're going true direct out
61=Fender blonde deluxe reverb
57=Fender tweed deluxe

I'm sorry your sound is really too loud it hurt my earths. I have to stop.
