Quilter Aviator Cub: Get 6 Tones??? TONE DEMO.

[@thedevilsbox]

Thank you, Brian- This was a very nice demo of what the amp is capable of doing in capable hands!

[@briansrecordingarchive6579]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Great playing mate. I’ve had my Cub for a few months and I’m going to sell my Princeton reissue. Tube replacement in 2022 & again this year. Great tone out of the Cub and it ain’t costing me more money

[@latitude34n78]

Thanks for the clean, quality of playing that showcases the amps tones. Sounds great!

[@briansrecordingarchive6579]

Thank you kindly!

I've had the Quilter Aviator Cub 50 almost 2 1/2 years and had a split Y cable since the early 1980s. I had the same idea. I tried the three inputs separately and preferred the 65 Blackface Fender Deluxe first, the 50s Fender Tweed Deluxe second and the Early 60s Blonde Fender Deluxe last. Then I pulled out the Y cable and found I liked the combination of the 50s Tweed Deluxe with the 65 Black Face Deluxe. It sounds great with any of my guitars. The secret is balancing the Gain and the Limiter controls to give you some best the amp has to offer. I think it's the best amp I've ever owned out of the other 14 amps I've had in 50 years.

Thanks Brian. Excellent demonstration of the "Y" cable. Nice playing too.

Thank you kindly!

Beautiful playing. Warm sound

[@briansrecordingarchive6579]

Many thanks! Most appreciated, Sheldon.

[@uberjam-sam8512]

This is very helpful. Tone sounds amazing and this is a great way to open the amp up a bit.

[@briansrecordingarchive6579]

Glad it was helpful!

[@City2x]

What a beautiful demo!

[@briansrecordingarchive6579]

You are very kind. Thank you.

A great no nonsense video, thanks for sharing!

I bought a 5-way switcher off Amazon for my Cub. This allows the seventh option of all three preamps together. Such an incredible amp!

[@briansrecordingarchive6579]

Hey, that's great, David. I've been so happy with the Blonde+Black channel combo, that the thought of combining all three didn't even occur to me. Let me know if you upload a demo!

[@danculpepper7297]

Hi, could you give us the link to the 5 way switch on Amazon? Thanks

[@AdolfFauci]

@@danculpepper7297 Morley ABC 3-Button Switcher/Combiner Pedal. I bought this off of sweetwater for 99 bucks. It seems pretty heavy duty for nowadays. It'll let you choose between 1 2 or all 3 inputs at the same time.

[@dahag2996]

I too just bought a Y cable. It definitely unlocks some bonus tones and really opens this amp up. My experience has been that running into two channels with a Y cable makes everything sound bigger, punchier, fuller. My favorite setting is running the Black & Blonde channels together: I think it makes the amp sound more Blackface than the Black channel alone. This amp is just begging for a third-party to produce a foot-switchable interface that can cycle through every input combination (including all three channels at once).

[@AdolfFauci]

Check this out, Morley ABC 3-Button Switcher/Combiner Pedal. I bought one from sweetwater last year and use it to switch between three different amps with one guitar. I can pick one amp, two amps or all three at the same time. I know this would work for your Quilter.

[@dahag2996]

@@AdolfFauci Nice! I'll check it out :)

[@jman1428]

Use an a/b box you can switch between jacks and plat through 2 jacks at once.

[@thomasd9237]

Yep.

[@carlharrison8112]

Is this amp suitable for home use or is too loud? Looking at buying one but seen it hasn’t got a power attenuator

[@briansrecordingarchive6579]

The amp is good for both home and club use. It can be loud or quiet.

[@riririaan]

It has attenuator via the speaker volume knob

[@solomonsanchez1897]

Attenuator would be more useful with a tube amp. One of the many benefits of this amp, besides weight, versatility, and the interactive tone stack, is that you don't have to cook the tubes to make it sound good at a lower volume.

[@kristofer603]

How Do I get That “Break Up” sound without using a pedal? Thanks for Help.

[@brianmcpartland3983]

That would depend on the pick-ups and amplifier. Generally speaking, increasing the volume and/or gain will give you break up without any pedals.

[@roderickbalt8993]

What do you mean with the mid/high bias that exists in the cub? Thank you

[@briansrecordingarchive6579]

Quilter amps tend to have a bias in tone that results in a dominant treble bias such that you notice more treble and mods than you do bass. This means you have to set your treble and mid knobs low and your bass knob high to compensate.

[@roderickbalt8993]

@@briansrecordingarchive6579 Ah I see, thank you!

[@ROCKSTARCRANE]

Guess I'm deaf because I ain't hearing that big a difference. What I am noticing is the tone settings - exactly how I have to set mine to keep the brightness from killing people in he audience. Seems really dumb to have o roll the treble all the way off to make the amp useable.

[@brianmcpartland3983]

I felt the same way until after about 100 hours of playing time through the amp. Eventually the speaker completed its relaxation process and things sounded good.

[@zonakmahanta]

Yeah...similar thought...

[@clarencevickrot3531]

I had a bright, whining sound with the tone knobs up. It went away when I set them all to zero....and I liked the sound.

[@ROCKSTARCRANE]

@@clarencevickrot3531 That is EXACTLY how I have been running mine!!!

[@sid9170]

I've @@clarencevickrot3531 noticed same thing- amp tone sounds better with tone knobs almost off! Is amp loud enough for gigs this way?

[@picker63028]

Thanks for playing like a real guitarist. Tired of the gain game.

[@briansrecordingarchive6579]

I appreciate it, thank you.

[@Johnnypell]

I agree ! Beautiful playing

[@elpkhan]

.? Don’t hear the difference
