Description

Quilter Aviator Mach 3 is a revolutionary combo amp designed for discerning guitarists on the go. This 200W powerhouse defies its 21-lb. weight by delivering rich, tube-like tone with dual channel switching between six classic amp voicings. The Aviator Mach 3 is the ultimate all-in-one amp for crafting your signature sound.

Scale Power From Whisper to Roar With 200W of Lightweight Muscle

Don't be fooled by its featherweight build—the Mach 3 packs a sonic wallop with up to 200W of power on tap. A separate Speaker Volume control lets you dial in anything from a whisper to a roar. When you need to keep stage volume under control, simply scale back the Speaker Volume and use the dedicated Signal Out volume to send a consistent level to the mixing board.

Dial in Iconic Tones With Dual Channel Switching

The Mach 3's dual channels give you six classic amp voicings to choose from, allowing you to switch between or blend two tones at once. Recreate the chime of a blackface Fender, the grit of a tweed Bassman or the punch of a British stack. An effects loop lets you integrate your favorite stompboxes into the signal chain.

Sculpt Your Sound With a 3-Band Active EQ

A 3-band active EQ provides precise control over your bass, midrange and treble frequencies. Boost or cut as needed to shape a tone that's all your own. When used in combination with the Mach 3's amp voicings and built-in reverb and tremolo effects, the possibilities for crafting your perfect guitar sound are nearly endless.

A Cover and Carry Handle Add Extra Convenience

Quilter includes a padded nylon cover to keep your Mach 3 protected in transit. Thoughtfully placed handles make it easy to lift and carry the 21-lb. amp to and from gigs. A cover with an integrated cable pouch provides storage for all your necessary cords and accessories.

    In the short time I've had my Quilter Mach 3 I've played funk, R&B, folk, gospel, rock and all hybrids in between on my custom electric guitar and acoustic/electric baritone. Both of which sound beyond fantastic! From clean to dirty I use it for practice, recording, rehearsals, and performances. And on top of it all, it's as light as a feather at just 21 lbs.

    I have owned tube amps from Fender, Gibson, Vox, Carr, Tone King, TopHat, Dr Z, Swart, Morgan, Mesa Boogie. This amp out performs them ALL in terms of tone. Plus it's 21 lbs. 4 of the models are Spot On. I still have a Mesa Boogie CA Tweed that integrates perfectly with 2 Mach 3s in a stereo config, but, aside from that, NO more tubes! I was skeptical till I got my hands on one, then, a true believer. After 60 years of tube issues, free at last, thank God Almighty!

    I like the fact that I can dial in about any tone I want to hear with any of my 5 electrics. This amp has way more power than I'll ever need. Does it replace a good tube amp? Probably not but so close who cares. No need to worry about tubes and the maintenance that goes along with tube amps.

    A great solid-state amp. On high gain and boost you can even get some great feedback and sustain. Add a Keely D&M distortion pedal and the sound rivaled any tube amp. This amp is light, doesn't generate heat. I also have a Tione King Sky King tube amp and this one sounds just as good. The reverb and tremolo are good enough to replace a pedal version. I do not consider this amp a modeling amp. I tried several and they are too artificial sounding to me and difficult to use.

    Is the actual head designed so that it can be removed from the cab? This would make it possible to sit on top of the cab or another location? I saw this done in a demo video, but it wasn't mentioned if this was a feature of the amp or something the reviewer did on their own. Thank you.
