Up for sale is a used Quilter 101 Mini Reverb 50-watt guitar amp head. We just tested this one here in the shop and everything works as it should. It shows some minor cosmetic wear. The amp was made in China, serial number 0318A310359. It comes with a power cord. Check out the pictures, or come see it in person at Metro Gnome Music.
Lightweight and compact
At just 2 lbs., the 101 Mini Reverb is so light you’d swear Quilter forgot to load the guts in. But as with most things in the audio world, looks can be deceiving. With 50 real watts of precision output, an ear-tuned hybrid active/passive 3-band EQ section, and a lush digital reverb residing within this desk-reference-size guitar amp, any true tube fanatic can’t help but smile. There’s also an FX loop and headphone output right on the front panel for easy access. Even sweeter, you can load the Quilter 101 Mini Reverb into its own cabinet (sold separately) to create a modular combo that de-cabs at will. Just ask guitarists at Sweetwater: If you’re looking for a high performance-to-size ratio, they’ll tell you it’s hard to top the Quilter 101 Reverb.
Full-Q base tone
The 101 Mini Reverb boasts the same vintage-inspired base tone, called Full-Q, as Quilter’s flagship Aviator amp. We feel this voicing best resembles a Blackface ’60s American combo, with sparkling cleans, a sweet top end, and a throaty breakup in the low registers. Yet unlike the classics, the 101 Mini Reverb has loads of drive on tap and even a limiter, which act in series to enact a wide range of crunch, sag, and compression.
3-band hybrid EQ
Quilter threw out the playbook with its 101 Mini Reverb’s 3-band EQ section. While its Bass and Treble sections pretty closely resemble traditional guitar amplifier passive tone stacks, its active midrange control is voiced to activate a range of highly coveted tonal textures. Reducing the mids scoops the tone in a hurry, which is perfect for SRV-type single-coil tones and more contemporary chordal voicings. Cranking the midrange enhances the 101 Mini Reverb’s American-voiced presence and cut, which is perfect for boosting leads to the front of a mix.
Onboard spring-style reverb
Onboard digital reverb makes the 101 Mini Reverb a self-contained performance platform unto itself. This reverb is voiced to sound like classic spring tanks from your favorite combo amps, able to deliver a versatile range, dry to drenched, that’s free from the weight and instability of true mechanical units.
