This is Quilters second and full features pedal amp. My only beef with these amps is that they all use type C amplifiers that seem OK with their power but usually do not put out anywhere near the level of a tube amp.
A tube amp compresses the the signal so it is not technically louder ...but since the signal can not drop in level it will sound louder. My 50 watt Plexi can match any 100 watt transistor amp
for level!!!
Another beef. The Quilter is 45 watts into 4 ohms. Since 4 ohm cabs are rare and if nothing else it narrows your speaker selection.
I also consider this is misleading to the player who will think he has 45 watts of serious level to use.
Only Thomas Blug's Bluguitar AMP1 addresses the problem with a full 100 watts into 8 Ohms.
You not only have enough power you can use all of the popular Celestion and Eminence speakers.
I owned one for a year and switch to a 50 watt Plexi. The Plexi is considerably louder. I even use a speaker attenuator on it.
The Quilter Interblock 45 has all the bells and whistles including a dirt channel.
Personally I think the ideal pedalboard amp should be 100 watts into 8 Ohms and would have 2 full channels of clean sound. A simulated Fender sound and a simulated Marshall sound. Why would a guy buying a pedal board amp need a dirt channel? Most players first pedal is a dirt box and if you need a pedal board amp ...you have a pedal board with one or more pedals for your dirt sounds ?????
CONCLUSION
A better effort then most but far from ideal. Baroni Lab Mini Amp 100 is perhaps leading the pack with it's 60 Watts into 8 Ohms at $330.00 USD. The extra power is not a lot more. Blug's effort is in my mind too expensive. I had one and sold it and bought a Plexi.
HEY !!! IT JUST CAME OUT
The Foxgear Kolt 45 ...a great clean sound ...louder then a Fender Hot Rod
and half the price of the Quilter.
