Different amps: VHT-6 with JJ tubes and alnicomagnet mod, Quilter 101 mini head, ZT Lunchbox
Same speaker: Eminence Lil Buddy 10"
Similar price of an amp: ~300$
I hope it will be useful for someone!
Have a nice day :)

Nice Wheel. I like how you limited the variables a bit by using the same cab.


That Quilter sounded pretty nice.

I would like to hear it in person.

I like the Quilter on the Tweed setting and I'm a tube guy. Nice job...BN

The ZT Lunchbox still has the digital solid state sound that, for my ears, just sounds too thin and sometimes a bit harsh to my ears. The Quilter, which is a solid state amp that, unlike most of the solid state amps around, uses analog circuits for the most part (the one exception is the reverb circuit), and analog circuits tend to be much warmer than a digital circuit tends to be and that's the ONLY solid state amp I've ever heard for harp AND guitar that actually emulates the warmth of a tube amp, especially when it's set in the tweed mode. As far as I'm concerned, Quilter is the only solid state amp I have no hesitation for using or buying one bit and all the other solid state emulator type amps like the Line 6 don't come close to the sound of a real tube amp and I sure as hell am a tube amp person who doesn't impress easily.
