New Quilter Day!

[Astral Traveler]

Brand new for once. Quilter Aviator Cub.

The initial assessment is; holy crap, it's even better than the Overdrive 200!

Three different inputs, Tweed, Blonde and Blackface. I've only tried them real quick and it's hard to pick a favorite yet. They all have something I like. It's also possible to go into more than one.

NIce!
congrats!

How well do the channels sound like / close to the namesake?

While cycling through my tube amps earlier this month, I was again almost shockingly impressed how good the clean, Blackface voiced channel on my Silkyn Super 50 is.
I dont have Fender Blackface experience to say how it measures up, just know the ballpark.

Enjoy!!!

Cool. How about sound clips?

It's hard to say, I don't own any of the originals so I can't A/B. Based on sound clips I'd say it's definitely in the ballpark for each.

The black and blonde are pretty bright, it might be a speaker thing but it's fairly bright through headphones too. I reduce the treble a lot, like all the way down. I usually like my tone on the mellow side when I play alone though. It might be just right for a mix the way it is. Plus, the active EQ is pretty interactive so there's probably a learning curve. Raising the mids and bass seems to reduce treble a bit. It's very nice and tight in the bass.

Oh, you will get to hear it

I will

The only thing I'm not convinced about is the reverb. It does the job and it's good enough not to bother with pedals but ut's not really to my taste.
