Quilter Labs Tone Block 202 Guitar Amp Head Demo

[@roblarson9065]

I have had this amp for two weeks now and I am blown away. First switch from tube to solid state. It's perfect. I sold a 2018 Fender Custom Deluxe Reverb Handwired for this amp. No more swishy Fender reverb. Modern tones with the tube feel. Honest!

[@Nautijan]

Hi Rob, do you still like the 202? No regrets letting go of the tubes ?

[@nmonye01]

Exactly. I use the fender reverb as a barometer. The beauty of the tone block I can use different cabinets. Giving it a different sound/ volume

[@paulwatson9217]

⁠@@nmonye01sorry to trouble you, are you still using it or have you changed it? I’m seriously thinking of coming off tubes to this. Has is served you well and do you gig with it thank you in anticipation of your reply.

[@mkds7756]

Amazing how far solid state technology has come

[@stringedaz]

Mitch rules. Killer player who knows how to get the goods out of ANY amp or piece of gear. I ordered the overdrive 202 as my 4th non tube amp ever. Cannot wait to hear it in person

[@frozendivots1564]

Picked up a guitar in 1978 at age 8 and haven’t put it down since. Owned maybe 20 amps and roughly 25 guitars since then. I can say this Tone Block 202 may be the best musical purchase I’ve made. Amazing amp and my tube amps have been silent since this arrived. It’s so dynamic you can’t believe it. If you area tube guy you will love this. It’s the only amp I’ve ever owned where I can eliminate ice pick tone without it sounding rolled off or a bit flat. It also is the only amp that I can dial in the humbuckers exactly how I’ve always wanted and single coil tone is next level. I can’t believe this amp. Considering the price I feel like I owe Quilter more money…😀

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

Thank god this came out, I was nearly going to buy the Kemper, phew! The only thing that would make this better is a built in tuner.

[@roblarson9065]

Me too!

[@adoreed3471]

Mine is unbelievably fantastic. Keeps up in a band setting without even breaking a sweat, it sounds beautiful clean (especially with a nice delay in the loop and the built-in reverb), and with my KSR Ceres in front it becomes an absolute monster.

[@lepetitchose]

Wow. I was thinking about having the exact same setup. I bought a DV Mark Eric Gales signature but it sounds over compressed and saturated when played with humbuckers. I need a powerful clean sound no matter what kind of guitar I use (for saturation I use the Ceres) Does it work well with humbuckers when you hit the strings hard?

[@anonymoususer3496]

I don't know why tube heads expect a solid state to be a tube amp. Its NOT. Quilter suits other purposes, like producing tone that will cut a gig and be light weight. Once you're in a band, you start to care less.

[@ransombaggins9301]

Mine is on the way, as well as the BlockDock 12HD! Lightweight, but crazy powerful. Amazing tones as is, or a perfect pedal platform, or a great platform for my HeadRush using the frfr. Oh ya, plug in headphones, send to you interface or PA, power two cabs for stereo, etc. etc. etc. Such a fantastic piece of kit.

[@MEDiumInc]

I have a Toneblock 201, and love it. Always wanted a 3 band eq (although, I've been more than able to get everyone I need with the controls on the 201). But this unit being built in china, for $575? I think I will keep rocking my American made toneblock.

[@austinfailz]

So they start making everything in America, get people into them, they outsource to china and have the nerve to charge the same price. Pretty laughable.

[@Steve-nq8jc]

I love the Yamaha revstar!

[@cliffcorass5797]

Great review Mitch, thanks! Sounds great

[@greedyfirstalgorithmlast26]

I used a 200 Watts LunchBox and I have seen others, like Tuck Andress, use it. I loved it, but This has Everything you needed Pedals to create with the LunchBox.

[@DJ7tringGuitar]

Mitch that's not a push/pull coil split, that's a push/pull low cut per Yamaha's specifications.

[@LPCustom3]

How about a side by side comparison with a vintage 45/50 watt Marshall...

[@noi5emaker]

Quilter did something similar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXKolZZnoZKnbMk

[@laxr5rs]

Great job on the video. Great presentation. Thanks.

[@sweetwater]

Thanks for checking it out, Ken!

[@jeffbeck6501]

He made it sound good.

[@spiritflame7779]

Beautiful

[@daddaladda]

Very nice!

[@stryker126]

Why is it so dark sounding?

[@bastardsonofretkillr]

Hmm I'm thinking about waiting for the Pro Block 202

[@profd65]

Is that in the works?

[@baronvonchickenpants6564]

Interesting amp, my Katana is great in a band setting, I've stopped using my massive Marshalls, solid state has come a long way, I now think of the whole package rather than just the tone, so long as it's enjoyable, after 30years I'll trade a little tone for an easier life, dragging big Marshalls out of hatchbacks is a pain

[@aaronreiners1454]

Bro, knock it off with the delay and reverb, I want to know how the thing responds.

[@MultiLan2011]

is this power amp like powerstage or amp?

[@perryjoshua3849]

Is there a foot switch for it

[@dionr1168]

But does it Brown Sound?

[@MShep-mh5xo]

Can it be plugged into a different brand cabinet? Say like a an Orange 2x12 for example?

[@sweetwater]

Hey, M. Sheppard. Thank you so much for checking out our KZbin Video. Yes, The Quilter amp head can be paired with other manufacturers cabs. Just make sure to check the ohm rating and wattage to make sure you're not going to damage the speakers. Feel free to reach out if there is anything else I can help with. Thanks, Grant Embury, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1647, [e-mail]

[@barkbarkbarkbarkable]

Will this drive eight 12 inch speakers ? 😎

[@84slow]

Yes

[@kqandthesoundtrip7636]

I agree, it sounds like s*** in this video but I have this amp.And it's great you gotta turn up the treble, use it on vintage

[@soundknight]

Jazz and Santana blanket on speaker tones only?

[@dustylense]

ever played a quilter? Um, you can get them ever so bright.

[@bastardsonofretkillr]

@@dustylense this is a bad example of a Quilter amplifier I'm buying the 202 in a few days and already have a Quilter Mach 2 8" and 101r mini with Frontliner

[@Breakbeats92.5]

The riff at the 1:50 mark is "The Wind Cry's Mary" by Jimi Hendricks. If you play guitar and don't know who he is, you are forbidden to pick up your axe until you find out.

[@YawpMusic]

Music Power Hendrix.

[@danielcannon3511]

*Hendrix*

[@PabloRomero1991]

Who dat

[@UnremarkableMarx]

This is THE amp

[@sweetwater]

🤘🤘🤘

[@voxpathfinder15r]

Is anyone blown away by this tone??? I yawned listening to this, either something else sucks like the guitar, the recording or this amp just plain blows. I hear more inspiring tones with those fender champion amps

[@anonymoususer3496]

You should try one in-person, you can't judge any amp off KZbin

[@Jonathan-L]

I agree ... This is a great demo for the Source Audio L.A. Lady pedal ... as for the Quilter amp, I wasn't impressed.

[@2beJT]

The Pro Block 200 by Quilter was awesome.

[@roblarson9065]

This is not the best from SW. Introducing two new products at the same time is confusing. Not many of us can hear that guitar and say “oh ya, I know what that guitar sounds like, let’s move on to the amp. IT’S AN AMP DEMO, RIGHT?

[@jammer777]

Not the greatest demo. SW can do better.

[@Muddybagclean]

Jesus Loves You

[@Tonetwisters]

I wonder when the original, and IMHO, proper term, "humbucking" turned into "humbucker."

[@TazTaylorBand]

It just depends if you put the word "pickup" after it. "Humbucking pickup" or simply "Humbucker" Not that complicated really.
