I'm a big fan of the Quilter SuperBlock amp modules. The band I'm in has gone to a quiet stage set up, so I use a SuperBlock US on my pedal board. I also have the UK version. The SuperBlock has a line out, built in reverb, (3) different amp voicings, and (3) different cab sim options. I sold my combo amps and am using only the SuperBlocks. I have also been experimenting with different ways to house and power them, so that I can also use them to give Combo amp functionality in compact, lightweight packages with the ability to be run cordlessly in either low power (1 watt at 9vdc) mode or full power (25 watts at 24vdc) mode. I have been using 8" cardboard concrete forming tube as housing material and also made a housing out of a Home Depot bucket. I've also made a 12" speaker cabinet housing out of 16: cardboard concrete forming tube.

Pretty cool idea and the speaker enclosures look really nice!
I wish that pedal wasn't so big, I don't think it would fit on my pedalboard. I'm using the Boss IR-200 but that Quilter looks really interesting.

Thanks guys - these have been fun projects!
Leftee, I'm assuming that you are referring to "The Museum of Harebrained Things!!"

Well now that is just slicker than whale snot! You and I would get into some serious trouble if we shared shop space, I guarantee. Remember this one? The Fender AmpCan from the late 90s: a 15-watt 1x6 combo made from...drum roll...an 8" Sonotube (cardboard concrete form) with metal caps on the ends. Battery or AC powered.  |

Whoa Peegoo - I have never seen that Fender amp before! I'm gathering that it was not successful. This is what got me thinkingAs to what could happen if we shared shop space - I would be thrilled to be your intern/gofer and just watch you go do that voodoo that you do so well!! First things first, how do you take your coffee? |
