TOOB tested with 3 different micro amps!

Professional jazz guitarist Petri Krzywacki tests TOOB 10T and 12J guitar speakers. The tested micro amps are a VOX MV50 Clean, DV Mark Micro 50 and a Quilter 101 Mini Reverb. Petri plays with a Lottonen guitar with Lindy Fralin pickups.

I want to live in a white void filled with great media and get asked to test amps with my jazz chops and beautiful archtop. What a life.

[@arneluebbertyguitar5980]

My favourite is the quilter. Great playing by the way!

[@TheZenguitarguy]

The DV sounded the most organic of the 3 to me, warm and responsive and not overly bright

[@warrengreig5556]

Excellent playing and video.

[@andremellao4882]

I could spend a role evening drinking a wine and listening to your music. Fantastic player and what a amp

[@Cheguebuddha]

very rich overtones with the Quilter! Thanks! I think I decided!

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Quilter Rules. Only SS Amp that gives you that Blackface Fender Pristine Clean. The speaker also sounds fantastic. Lightweight & portable is the way-to-go.

[@tatialo37]

Dang you can play! Beautiful!

[@joorock63]

Quilter!!!

[@renatopaffetti211]

Thanks ....fantastic test

[@TwilightontheTrail]

The quilter , to my taste, is the runaway winner

[@LOFIGSD]

Agree with the Vox, I have one, driving an old 2x12, it needs reverb, Vox really messed up not adding an effects loop.

[@marcelowcr]

Hi Petri! Great review, 4 years later and very valuable content, thank you very much! Do you still have these amps? I'm thinking about getting the MV50 clean, due to it's size/price/pros relation, hehe. How do you like them so far? What are your thoughts in the long term. Thanks a lot!

[@reverendduke]

it would be nice to see these distributed in the U.S. so i could give one a try! very interesting product.

[@enjoybrad81]

I'm pretty sure the Quilters are, at least. Guitar Center has them used online and they are an American company.

[@SuperNagylaszlo]

Szuper !

[@John-rx6pv]

hello, could the DV Mark Micro 50 directly connect to headphone without cabinet? thanks

[@markkupietinen2732]

Yes. And thanks for watching!

[@kickassbass]

Great playing and feel, just wonder what strings do you use?

[@oliverpajonk6822]

Which reverb pedal is used with the vox amp?

[@markkupietinen2732]

That's a TC Electronics Hall of Fame. Can't remember the settings but just a little of reverb. This model may be difficult to find these days. The new Mad Professor Kosmos is a fantastic reverb, pushing the envelope far beyond the basic options.

[@DizzyKrissi]

nice comparison - very helpful. Thanx.

[@raffyzoo2130]

clarus slr & add yer pedals. this has impact/clean/best pedal platform because of no coloration at all/jazz dream. low volume not a problem.

[@John-rx6pv]

Hi Markku, one more question, i'm now considering to buy the Quilter 101 reverb after watching your video. May I know how's the sound quality if i'm using headphone directly for output for home practice? Is it much worse versus going through a cabinet? Thanks

[@markkupietinen2732]

John, I'm sorry I can't give you an answer. That amp is long gone and I never tried it with headphones. The Quilter guitar amplifiers owners' Facebook group is a lively forum where this topic has certainly come up x times. I think you can shoot a question even as a visitor and will have plenty of answers in no time at all. It's almost like a friendly tribe or sect.

[@John-rx6pv]

@@markkupietinen2732 thank u Markku 🙏🏻

[@RadityoPramAdi]

power amp-type pedal and Toob. That could be the entire rig.... ohh technology!!

[@markkupietinen2732]

How right you are! And this is happening!

[@thisisme4858]

Does the quilter have more volume than the mv50?

[@markkupietinen2732]

Hi and thanks for asking! I can't give you an objective answer, because the two amps are voiced so differently. The Quilter is far brighter, with a Fender-type tone stack. If your music is happy with top-end sting, then I assume the Quilter cuts through with ease. The DV Mark is far darker and fatter. I once ran them side by side, and had to turn the Quilter's bass eq all the way up and DV Mark's all the way down to make them sound roughly the same. Quilter's reverb is great, while DV Mark's gets chorusy-tipsy on higher settings. This again works well for acoustic flattops. As people tend to have separate stomp boxes for the effects they want, I'm keen to mention the TC Electronic BAM200, nominally a 200W bass micro amp but in reality a warm, neutral and tube sounding allrounder, which takes pedals very well. Cheers, Markku

Shootout vs the Sonusphere G18

[@markkupietinen2732]

Hard to achieve, both still are rare birds and on different continents. However; we have nothing to fear: TOOBs have done fine in all shootouts against conventional cabs, most recently at the SICA/Jensen factory. We first used a cab upright some four years ago, in a "little big band" with four horns in the front row. One guitar cab was positioned conventionally to the left of the player, the other upright behind the band. This enabled authentic, acoustic-sounding comping. Our TOOB 12B comes with removable legs for playing upright, much appreciated by double bass players. We have recently played jazz guitar again on a 12J fitted with similar legs. Again, the player, there rest of the band and the audience all heard perfectly what was going on.
