Damn fine set up!
What model is the Harley Benton cabinet and how is it holding up?
I’m seriously considering this exact set up for my new amplifier
is this rig good for live performances? If not what set up do you like for gigs?
sorry for all the questions….
thanks!
That’s a Harley Benton G112 Celestion V30 and I like it. However I am not a big Speaker Snob and mostly cannot hear much difference in them)
This Quilter is really nice, unfortunately I have no band and gigs since I left Ukraine so couldn’t yet test it live. But I am 100% sure it will be ok for gigs, a lot of people use it this way. I use it a lot for home recording together with Palmer Eins tube head and really happy with them. My new EP is completely recorded with Quilter Superblock.
thanks for the replies …
sorry for yet another noob question, but what does the Palmer Eins do? I’m brand new to recording and I’m still becoming familiar with all the basic gear… I have the Focusrite Solo , some Sony Studio Monitors , an SM57 mic and a MacBook Pro… I hope to start recording this summer!
My main amp has been the Rumble 100 which actually works great for guitar because it’s super clean , but I’m intrigued by the QuilterUS power block because of its Fender amps emulator
I’ve got pretty similar setup, Focusrite bundle and Macbook.
Palmer Eins is just a small 1 watt tube head, pretty neutral in sound, more to a clean Fender side, perfect as a pedal platform for home. It also has nice speaker sim inside (Palmer is a well known German maker of high quality speaker sims and di boxes for years) so really easy to record (I am not good in micing yet so mostly use speaker sim in Quilter or Palmer)
Fender amps emulators are great, but honestly Blossom Point makes Palmer a Brownface on the edge of break up in a second. I like 60s emulators in Quilter very much, but saturated tubes are surely more juicy).

Great sound. That reverb drip is world class.
Thanks again. I don’t remember what and where, but I used both Classic and Compact for different tunes and even different parts, trying to make guitars sound like a different players with different setup and sound.

I currently have have a silverface Twin Reverb with a RI tank. It will get the job done. But ever since I sold my '66 Showman, everything else sounds like a transistor radio to me.

I have a 1968 drip edge Bandmaster head with a 2x12 cabinet with 2 Jensen C12N speakers and that works pretty good for me. Later on this year I will buy a Magnatone panoramic stereo.

Killer rig, man. Does the Bassman give you enough headroom for most gigs? Would love to hear it "live" if you can link me to a video.
EDIT I think I found a video of you playing it at Coney Island Brewery, nice!

Thanks! It's very loud and has loads of headroom.sweet spot is at around 7, where it really blossoms. I'm always being asked to turn down by sound guys.

Here’s my Fender ’63 Reverb reissue with ’69 Gibbs pan, ’63 Fender AA763 Bandmaster, and ’65 Ampeg Gemini I.
If you’ve never played a ‘60s Ampeg with on-board reverb, you really owe it to yourself to check one out. It’s quite different from Fender reverb, but just as beautiful.
