Quilter Labs Tone Block 202 - Mint
$450 includes shipping to Continental US
I just bought this Quilter Tone Block 202. It looks new and is still in the box. I'm selling it for $160 less than I paid for it just last month ($575 at Sweetwater plus $35 tax, which Sweetwater now charges). You can listen to some of the YouTube videos, if you're interested in how these amps sound. From my point of view the nice thing about the Tone Block
202 is that, unlike previous models, it has 3 band EQ.

I own one of these, and they are fantastic. May I ask why you are selling?

Yes, the Tone Block 202 has a lot going for it. I sold my '65 reissue Deluxe Reverb on the local Craigslist, because I never cared for the sound, even though I tried several recommended mods. After I recently sold the Deluxe Reverb, I did a lot of YouTube watching and review reading and I ended up buying the Tone Block, knowing that it would have a tighter, yet powerful sound that I was looking for. My Twin Reverb and Showman amps are the best sounding amps I ever had. Both have solid-state rectifiers. So, one of the mods that I tried with the Deluxe Reverb was a couple different Weber solid-state rectifiers, but that didn't help much and, like I said, I sold the amp. Maybe it's the 6V6 tubes I don't like. Not sure. So, I was hoping the Tone Block would give me something for smaller gigs and for band practices with a somewhat tighter sound that I didn't get from the Deluxe Reverb. The Tone Block sounds really good and it does have a tighter sound that cuts through the mix, but for some reason, after playing it at one band practice, I realized that I like the warm, yet twangy sound of my old Vox Pathfinder 15 better. Now I'm looking for something more like the Vox Pathfinder 15, but with more watts. Or, a smaller tube amp with a solid state rectifier. Perhaps a Peavey Classic 30. They sound pretty good to me, even though they have EL34 tubes. Anyway, I'm sure the Tone Block 202 would be a lot of peoples' dream amp. It's just not exactly what I was looking for.

If you’re looking for a Pathfinder-type twang I can highly recommend the Vox Mini Superbeetle. Nutube technology with 50 watts at 4 ohms and 25 at 8. Built in trem and reverb. Lots of fun, very cool looking, and sounds great, especially through various external 1x12s and higher.

Yeah! Looks (and sounds) good! It also comes in British Racing Green. Very cool. Definitely under consideration.
