Looking for more Grant Green/Burrell type tones. At this point, I feel like the Quilter probably covers that ground a little more?

I own both a Bud 6 and a Quilter Aviator Cub.
If I could only keep one, it would be the Quilter.
If you are just playing electric guitar through the amp, the Quilter is more versatile in that it has three differently voiced inputs. You know how certain guitars and amps just don't match up, even though they are both quality items? The three differently voiced inputs on the Aviator Cub pretty much guarantees that you can get a good sound out of pretty much any quality guitar.
If you are playing electric and acoustic guitars, other acoustic instruments or singing through the amp, the Bud 6 is more versatile in that respect.

You mean like the Van Gelder Bluenote era? The breakup thing? That's mostly what I'm going for with my ToneBlock 202, and I've been happy for about 6 years.I can't speak to how the Henricksons handle it. Never seen one in person. Originally Posted by MHeld

I know that DV Mark does that with a couple of their small high power Class D amps as well. Never had a chance to demo one in person unfortunately!

Grabbed a Tone Block 202 and Dock Block 10TC cabinet to try.
19lbs combined (same as a Blu 10). Between the TMB and voicings switch it should do what I'm looking for.

Great sounding and very powerful rig!

Could You share how You adjust the TB202 for that sound? What speaker? Guitar? Originally Posted by ccroft

Hi Herbie! I know you like the same amp. Me: Gain between noon & 2:00 depending on mood. Limit around 10 to noon depending on same. Bass 10:00, Mid 12:00, Treble 9:00. Right now Master is 9:00, but it goes higher or lower depending on how I'm feeling about the neighbours.
I'm digging this in 'Vintage' voice at the moment. I also go FullQ or FRFR from time to time and season the tone stack accordingly. Generally less Mid and more Treble.
Speaker is the Celestion BN something or other. You know, the stock one Quilter has been using in a bunch of their stuff for years. It's in the BlockDock 12. I also have that in closed Mach-something enclosure. A different beast in that box. Less feedback action for one. I sometimes put the amp in a BD10, but I've been an open back 12" guy for over 5 decades so I like it like that.
It's usually a Borys B-120. Volume full up or close to it. Tone rolled back a bit depending on the day. Right now is like 75%. It gets moved around along with the volume.
I'm currently a solo basement player, but enjoyed this setup with a quartet I rehearsed with for a while. Only then it was the Eastman Pisano 880.
Let me know what you think!

Celestion BN12-300S. Made in China. (Hurry while supplies last?)

Thanks for sharing! I am surprised how good the TB202 sounds with Your adjustments. I have usually almost all in noon (except Reverb and Master) and adjust the bass according to the room. Originally Posted by ccroft

It is a very flexible amp. The speaker and the cabinet can make it sound very different, like Polytone or like a Fender Twin.
