A great fit for gigging musicians, this mega-portable 200 watt amp uses a lightweight neodymium speaker and fits anywhere with it's slimline cabinet design.

The Quilter Steelaire Combo provides maximum portability with a slimline cabinet housing a front loaded 15" neodymium speaker. 200 clean watts and a rich feature set provide ultimate performance for any musician.

The speaker is the result of a lengthy collaboration between Pat Quilter and Eminence Speakers. Quilter started with Eminence's rugged cast-frame 15 inch platform for maximum durability. To this they added a 3-inch aluminum voice coil and hyperbolic cone to assure outstanding frequency response, power handling, and freedom from breakup. As a finishing touch, a 4 inch aluminum dome adds a hint of sweet metallic tang, resulting in a creamy full bodied tone with a citrus-y finish.

The cabinet is the result of a lengthy series of tone tests conducted with top professional players from coast to coast. The slimline cabinet is easy to carry and requires minimal space on stage. The front mounted speaker, combined with calibrated cabinet dimensions, provides maximum clarity of mids and highs, while delivering big clean lows. Quilter's panel of experts frequently need to get on and off stage in less than a minute, so they provided internal room for accessory stowage, and cable routing slots that keep everything tucked safely away.

The slimline Steelaire chassis delivers a full 200 watts, with plenty of reserve voltage swing, into the 4 ohm speaker. With selectable input channels, a 4 band EQ, an adjustable limiter, tremolo, and a full-service reverb section, you get a full… read more tool kit to optimize the sound of your instrument.

I'm using this for pedal steel as an upgrade from a Fender Blues Deluxe. It's clean, detailed, *precise* and cuts through great. Absolutely no complaints. The EQ points are perfect for steel. The reverb is pretty good but could be better; some people go ahead and use outboard reverb.. It's just clean, clean and more clean. In many bars with poor acoustics, steel gets lost. Not with this amp. I don't mean it's loud, I mean it's forward sounding and present. It'll do loud for sure, but I didn't need it to be up to be heard. End of the night with a Tele player with a Twin and a manly drummer, it was about 11 o'clock. I also had less ear fatigue than usual with it. No one amp does everything. While this is actually my nearly ideal electric guitar sound ( besides also the classic Fender tube sound ) , playing covers means you may need something to get signature sounds. It reminds me of the Gibson Lab Series, especially the L9 in that regard. I've used a Behringer Vamp 3 ( in the F/X loop ) with this amp. Not bad at all, although you get a good representation of some of the shortcomings of the modeler this way :) To be sure, some of those are pilot error - setting up the Vamp is considerable work. The combination is touchy. My Significant Other gets tired of me fiddling :) The Vamp is too noisy into the input, IMO. The amp takes pedals well, although you will not confuse it with a tube amp. It has a dry and detailed sound, so you get all the little things a tube amp will mask. I suspect… read more a cover player may need to consider some "stack in a box" pedals. If that works, then that extends the usefulness of this amp considerably. I expect it'd keep up pretty well with a full stack; add another 15" extension speaker and I'd bet on it. The amp's onboard distortion is not that useful past the slightly pushed level. That's okay. Tele neck with a teeny bit of crunch through this amp sounds very nice. Tele bridge is classic Nashville Peavey goodness without the Peavey honk. Now: The speaker. I recall when lead players were using JBL 15" speakers. I liked them then, and I like them now. The amp part is great, but this speaker is the key to the combo.
