Product Review You should at least try a Quilter. There's no risk; return it if you don't like it! I began, years ago, with a "Twin" & "Princeton". Fine tools. But, they are costly, heavy, and the tubes fail. I couldn't handle the fail part. I switched to SS units which improved over the years. It's hard to define why tube amp sound is appealing, but Quilter is distinctive in a similar way. I recently bought a Gen 1 Micro Pro 200-12. Experienced player friends hear one strum and remark that it sounds like a tube amp. It is very unique and very appealing. It was also so strong that I was sure that the 8" would fill many needs with maximum convenience. I got one. It does! I honestly prefer the more vertical cabinet of the Aviator but I understand the logic of the slant M.P. unit. The dispersion of the 8" is very wide; you can stand close in front of it and hear it fine. The tone closely matches the FullQ & scoop settings of the M.P. which were my favorites. I love it.

Product Review For my purposes, the 8" combo is perfect. It's light and well-built; easy to maneuver on and off of crowded buses and trains here in Vancouver. It's got enough volume and cut to be heard in a band setting, and has a great-sounding DI for larger gigs and recording. The cleans are the main selling point for most folks, and for good reason. There's plenty of sparkly to be had, backed with some serious thump if you want it. And all at bedroom volume if you want. I recommend getting the footswitch. The gain channel is maligned, maybe because it does need to be moderately loud to sound good. But it is good, and surprisingly versatile. The self-noise on both channels is crazy low. So it isn't a status symbol you can wave around online, or a totem that will connect you to your 60s heroes. It's a well-designed tool that can dish out better sound than you need (or maybe even deserve) in most live contexts.
