WTB -Quilter 101 (non reverb) or Tone Block

Beexter

I'm looking for a small backup solution to take to gigs, just in case. It must be able to drive a speaker cab on it's own at gigging volume so something like a Quilter or DV Mark would be ideal but not looking to spend a fortune as it's purely a backup to save lugging another combo around. Let me know what you've got.

H&K Tubemeister 18?

Beexter

Thanks for the offer @RevMatt ;but I suspect it'll be over budget as I don't want to go over £200. I was also erring towards solid state from a reliability point of view. 

RevMatt

No worries. I've got it on eBay at £225, but it's probably not quite what you're after.

Mooer Baby Bomb

I have a Crate Powerblock tucked away somewhere if that's of interest?

Beexter

Thanks for the offers but nothing hitting the spot so far..

Thought about an Electro Harmonics Magmun 44? Quite loud for its size. Around £110 new.

Beexter

Still looking and open to suggestions for small solid state amps/heads. Thanks @Max_b3 but the Magnum 44 seems to dirty up too quick.

Jalapeno

Get a Quilter 101.

Beexter

@Jalapeno - that's looking favourite at the  moment,  just seeing if there's any used ones about first.

Jalapeno

An old Roland Cube80 would also be on my list - chop it into a head

Don't disregard the Mooer Baby Bomb.. small form factor and louder than you think...

I have a 101 mini head that I'm thinking of selling (to switch to a 101 reverb).....

Beexter

@Creed_Clicks - that'd be ideal. Pm me with a price..

Beexter

Still looking...

Having evaluated a load of options,  I've narrowed it down to a 101 mini head or a Tone Block - any about?

Just in case you want to consider an Orange?

It's literally a back up amp, and can definitely drive a 2x12 loud enough for a gig.

Beexter

Thanks for the offer @Grunfeld but I need something with a loop so I can also use as a power amp so the Quilters still look favourite.

Anyone selling a Quilter head before I bite the bullet and buy new?
