Toneblock demo
A guy had one at the festival I played Saturday, and it really sounded great when he was messing around with it. He pulled up his SG with some mini humbuckers, and jammed it up. I noticed enough to look it up!
I'm wondering if anyone has used the direct out stuff direct for recording with maybe a cab sim? I'm a tube guy, and have used a little orange solid state head with cab with great results, but doesn't have enough wattage to do a live show.
This thing can go between 1 and 200 watts.. |

I'm not sold on them. Haven't played one personally, I've mixed with them probably 10 times now though. We've had some really good players come through with them too, but I think these cats would sound better with a true tube amp.

This looks pretty good, especially the power scaling and the voicing. The portability is the prime virtue. I watched Mike Zito's demo of it, it explains how to get different tones out of it, and it sounded useable. Jesse, what did you think listening/mixing it? It stops short of tube sound? This seems to cover a lot of bases.

This seems to cover a lot of bases. When Mike Zito comes through, he's using a nice Category5 tube amp. That says it all, right? Joe Louis Walker came through a couple weeks ago with one. It sounded meh. The time before, he rolled with this and it sounded better to my ears... http://instagram.com/p/BBbleF_QiIs |

Mike seemed pretty jazzed by the Quilter, 'cause he could take it on his fly gigs. I'm thinking of trying it in my fly rig.
Jesse, how meh was the difference? 80%? 60%? 90%?

Here's a short article about five amps including the Quilter. I have not tried any of them though. link
Cheers, Geoff |

Hi, Don Have you looked at the Ethos Overdrive Amp ? Apparently it is very Dumbly. 30 Watts in a pedal. Sheesh!! Here is a link if you are curious www.customtonesinc.com/Page_10.html |

I haven't seen that previously. The Dumble flavor is useful (I have a QuinnAmp Hot Buttered Scotch pedal on my board that emulates that tone,) but I couldn't use it as a basic tone exclusively. Reading that comparison article makes me more curious about the Quilter. I should just call Mike and ask him if he's using it.

I'm going to check out the Hot Buttered Scotch. I'm using a Hermida ZenDrive for that tone. It's the best I've found so far, but that doesn't mean there isn't better. Pedals are like mics (and preamps, and compressors, and monitors, and...) you can spend a mint and go through a LOT of pedals looking for the undefinable 'something.' |

I think for the price of these you might be better off looking at the Panama 5watt heads. They go pretty cheap
