Quilter MicroSlant 200 Guitar amp

Post by elreydlp »

I am currently Beta testing one of these Champ-sized amps. Pat Quilter (the "Q" in QSC Audio) is the genius behind this little giant. 200 watts into a specially designed 8" speaker. It doesn't "feel" like 200 watts (compared to my 1 X 15" JBL loaded Tone Ring Showman), but is extremely loud considering the size. It has onboard reverb (with a "Dwell" control), Tremolo, switchable overdrive, and compressor-which they call a limiter).
By far the best digital simulations of analog effects I've ever heard. I'm leaving my Fender Reverb Tank behind for Sunday's gig. I've been dialing it in with a variety of guitars and effects pedals. My biggest surpize was when I plugged in my 330/12 with the limiter at 12:00 and found the "jangle" that has eluded me!
I've cranked it pretty good in my music room, but the proof will come at Sundays gig. We played this event last year. It is a large room, and when it fills up, the background noise is loud. My 60 watt Carvin X-60 combo with and EVM-12L barely kept up. I'm guessing (and hoping) this little sucker can handle it. Next week, I'm going to try it with a variety of 10", 12", and 15" speakers.

Pics? Or, is it still top secret (sort of) until after your gig?
