So...methinks there's been more than enough build-up to this post.
The context: I've been looking for an easy-to-schlep SS amp solution to pair with my "new" PRS S2 guitar. Looking for mostly-clean rhythm tone plus a bit of crunch for my newfangled attempts at soloing soon. SS because I'm looking for low weight and not worrying about borking my out-of-production Nace Pro-18.
Very much like the tones I can get out of my Positive Grid Bias Mini modeling amp, no doubt, but for now it feels like overkill—especially when I feel the need to have an iPad handy loaded with the controller software to get the most out of it.
My other mini amp, the Quilter 101 Mini Reverb, languished until I pursued some suggestions here and tried it with a decent 1x12 cab. Once it met my Texas Heat speaker I was a goner.
Now. One of my BGU friends, @cowboy, has had a Quilter Mach 2 head for sale for a while. Mint condition, and a killer price. I want the multiple voices and the see-and-dial simplicity of a head that doesn't need add-on software, and which will play well with my 1x12 cab. Win-win: I bought it. It should arrive tomorrow.
Moar to come, when it arrives and all the players in this mix have had a chance to play well together.
