I purchased a MicroPro 8. I ultimately decided on a Fender Deluxe Reverb. Personally, I think the MicroPro is a better solution for someone who actually gigs with their amp. I play acoustic out, but I mostly play electric at home, so I went "authentic." If I had to carry the thing to gigs, I'd play a MicroPro 8, or a Kemper with an 8" FRFR speaker. The days of "stacks" are long gone.

QSC I've heard of. Thanks for the background.

All of these would allow a person to go direct from their pedalboard into something other than an amp. So, a cool entry (and I'm a Quilter fan) but not really groundbreaking. |

i played thru a couple of them and they sound really good but i believe they cost just as much as a tube amp, if that matters.
i saw albert lee playing thru one and when they went on break, i asked him about it. he said it sounded really good but that he was going to use a super reverb for the next set. well, the next set was fantastic. he seemed to be really playing off the super. play music!

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...

Currently I have two combo tube amps the weigh in at 47 lbs and 59 lbs. and while I have taken the 47lbs out and about to play, the other one stays at home. I have decided that @ 67 years old from here on out, any new amps will definitely be separate Amp head and speaker cab . And I try to KISS also

A 10 or 15 watt tube amp would be all I ever need in the power department - I ain't no Duane Allman and never will be. Even a Blues Junior or AC10 would only fit in my car w/my other gear if I was playing solo. If we played as a duo, it would mean 2 cars, which I don't want (my gigging partner is my wife). I appreciate all the input everybody.

I have a MicroPro Mach 2 - 8"
Diminutive little beast weighs about 20#. Acoustic, electric, and vocals sound great! Good reverb and tremolo, plenty of tonal options, and Loud enough to fill a megachurch with heavy metal music. Channel 2 is a vocal/instrument/aux input. It came with a nice padded cover. I really like the way the front lights up so I can see the controls in the dark places. No bright LEDs to blind me. Yep! I love it! Made in USA... |

Quilter products are very well respected in the pedal steel guitar sector. And those guys are the pickiest tone guys around. Really powerful and clean and takes to stomp boxes really well from all I have read from those guys. Cutting edge stuff in the solid state arena.
Lightweight and very powerful is their claim to fame it seems.

I was lucky enough to demo a few of these for my channel a while back. The 101 mini, pro block 200, aviator and Mach Pro. Loved them. Aviator was my favourite. Awesome tone.
