Quilter Aviator Cub 112 Combo

Forstærkeren spiller rigeligt højt til ikke at drukne i lydbilledet selv med en trommeslager på scenen, uden at behøve at blive mic'et op.

Den er simpel, no-nonsense og vejer kun 10 kilo!
Jeg har snart sparet dens pris i taxa fordi den er let nok til at tage med i metroen eller bussen.

Perfekt amp til små gigs og jam sessions.

Eneste "mangel" er at den ikke kommer med overdrive indbygget. På max Gain er den kun lidt over dirty-clean, men tager helt fint imod pedaler.

Master volumen gør at den har samme lyd ved stue-volumen som den har ved live volumen, da preampen er transistor baseret - men lyden føles som rør.

De 3 forskellige forstærker voicings kan kun bruges 1 ad gangen, men man vælger simpelthen bare den man bedst kan lide.

This is the perfect combo for anyone seeking authentic Fender tones. The Quilter Cub has four massive plus points.
1. Wonderful tones
2. Little or no maintenance
3. Lightweight
4. Relative cost.
This amp is packed full of decent Fender type tones that you would expect from some of the most famous Fender amps of the Tweed, Blackface and Blonde eras. It’s a loud 50 watts and extremely gig worthy…… and it will cope with most live situations and any over enthusiastic drummers ! It takes any pedals extremely well too……if that is your thing.
With no valves to worry about, it’s a plug in and play amp. You will never have to worry about blown valves or burnt out capacitors and the like.
It’s as light as a feather…well not quite, but it’s a lot less than half the weight of most average 1x12 valve combs…. Brilliant for carrying to gigs.
At this price, you’re getting really close to boutique valve amp tone for cheap solid state money. ……. But there is nothing cheap about the tones.
A fantastic amp. I’ve owned some of the very best hand wired valve amps, and this little CUB can compare well with any of them.

Highly recommended.

Introduction
As a working jazz guitarist, my gigging checklist prioritizes three things: pristine clean tone, portability, and reliability. The Quilter Aviator Cub 112 hits the bullseye on almost all fronts. After taking it out on the road and putting it through its paces in real-world gigging situations, I can confidently say it’s one of the best solid-state solutions on the market for jazz players, even if it cuts it just a bit close on raw volume in certain settings.
Rationale
• The Tone: The "thump," warmth, and immediate response you get out of this amp are incredible. It emulates classic Fender-style clean profiles beautifully without the brittle, high-end "acoustic chime" that plauges some solid-state amps. It pairs beautifully with a traditional archtop, giving you that rich, woody, compressed low-mid response reminiscent of classic Wes or Benson tones.
• Portability & Build: Carrying this to a gig is an absolute dream. It weighs next to nothing, the build quality is rock-solid, and it saves your back during load-ins.
• The Catch (Volume & Headroom): My only real critique is the overall volume ceiling. For small-to-medium rooms, duo gigs, or playing with a sensitive drummer, it is absolutely perfect. However, when the room gets loud or you're pushing against a heavy-handed rhythm section, the 50 watts can feel like it's just on the edge of its limit. It is almost enough for heavy setups, but I occasionally find myself wishing for just a tiny bit more clean headroom to spare before the power section begins to compress.
Conclusion
If you are looking for a highly portable, incredibly warm, and articulate amplifier for jazz gigs, the Aviator Cub 112 is a phenomenal investment. It delivers boutique-level tone at a fraction of the weight and cost. It is an easy 4.8/5 stars—if Quilter ever gives this exact preamp design just a touch more power for high-volume ensembles, it would be the undisputed perfect amplifier.

I have been looking for an alternative to valve technology for the past few years.
I'm now a solo performer so a mic'ed amp on stage is not practical.
Having tried IR technology in various forms which I wasn't satisfied with I tried a Koch Studiotone. It has a good cab sim and internal load box. I had very good results but I was still keen to find something that didn't use valves.
I purchased a Quilter Aviator Cub to try, which had a returns option.
It's a keeper, I'm very impressed. It works exceptionally well with Boss Gt100 and the Cab Sim is, to my ears as good through my PA as it is through the amp's speaker.
This is one of the best amp purchases I've made. It ticks every box for me
