I've known about Quilter gear for decades... yes, he is a Southern California guy (Orange County, I believe), and has made a name for himself since doing wonderful work with "other" companies, before he started his own... (Though his name was Bob, but I am getting older!)
He is good friends with some mutuall friends - folks from the band, Honk, a venerable Laguna Beach outfit from way back when... last I saw of him was at a Songwriter's Showcase that Beth Fitchet-Wood used to run out of the Marine Room in Laguna... Quilter showed up with a small amp that was s'posed to be everything a Deluxe Reverb was, and then some... this was about 6 years ago, and I'm wondering if that's where the Aviator came from?
In any case, Quilter's products deserve a good long look (and trial) if you're in the market. Whether you like the tone of the amps is one thing, and totally up to your ears, but his gear is top-notch, made in SoCal and absolutely dependable...
