Superblock US : Quilter Nailed It! ...Again!

3 years ago

I allready have the Quilter 101 Reverb and sold all my tube amps because of it. When Quilter came out with the Superblock US, I ordered it immediately. It's quite an upgrade soundwise! First it gives you 3 very distinct voices that are pretty accurate on the era they represent, changing mostly the mid-range response. All 3 sounds really good! And the cab simulator is very handy and sounds great. I allready had a bunch of gigs with a PA system, where I had just my pedalboard with the Quilter and my guitar.

Let me break down the pros and cons that I have encounter gigging with this amp.

PROS:

-Very small and lightweight

-FX Loop

-Very loud 25W (volume wise same or maybe even more headroom than my now sold Deluxe Reverb)

-The line out (XLR) with the cab sim sounds great

-A great sounding reverb

CONS:

-The main power supply (PS-24) is a separate unit (that's why I gave 3 stars for handling)

-Compared to the Quilter 101 Reverb it feels a bit fragile (that's the 4 stars for quality)

I shuld also mention that I'm using it with a Jensen Jet Series Tornado 10" 8Ohm in a custom mahogany cabinet.
