Quilter Labs Aviator Cub Advanced Single-Channel Combo Amplifier

I usually play at home solo, but this amp could easily cut through the mix with a band. And it won't break your back getting it to the gig. I've owned a boatload of Fenders, and this amp would keep up with any of them.

I use this amp for home practice, home recording, and friendly jams. The tones provided are perfect for my Nashville Tele. This is literally the tone I've wanted all my life (and that's after owning a slew of Silverface and Blackface Fenders).

Haven't gigged with it yet, but have no doubts it will be as great on stage as it is in my home studio. Old guys like me love light weight gear, and this thing weighs nothing. Sounds amazing, I get unique tones out of it, very musical, it sings with my Strat plugged in. Good features, I like things easy with no computer involvement, no apps, just amp, pedals and guitar. Hate having to decode instructions, watch videos just to figure gear out. This is dead simple and sounds fantastic. It takes pedals beautifully, my Boss tremolo and Waza delay really add some nice colors through this amp. I first bought the new Tone Master Princeton Reverb solid state amp, also light weight, but this thing sounds way better, more organic. There's a reason for the 5 star reviews here, guys, try it out if it has what you're looking for in an amp, That 12" speaker adds some beautiful lows to my tone. Quilter is a great brand, this is the best thing I have used from them, and I have used a bunch of their products. So far, impressed and happy.

All three amp models sound authentic to me after playing on stage with guitarists who had the real things. Alone they all can play sweet or growl as hard as you want. And if you want loud, it's got all you can handle. The amp is way outside the box while still being stupid simple. It has a custom designed 12" speaker. And weighs just 21 pounds. Maybe I should go to work for Quilter Labs whose main gig is making Aeronautical electronic instruments. Love it and I don't even know what I'm doing.....yet.

All three amp models sound authentic to me after playing on stage for 40 years with guitarists who had the real tube amps. Alone they all can play sweet or growl as hard as you want. I added an aftermarket switcher so I can play any combination or all at once. And if you want loud, it's got all you can handle. The amp is way outside the box with innovations while still being stupid simple. It has a custom designed 12" speaker. And weighs just 21 pounds, which was important to an old guy.

What a wonderful sounding amp. Sounds warm like any of my tube amps and it won't break your back. 3-4 hours at stage volume and speaker is starting to break in! So if you get one give that speaker a chance to loosen up!
