    I have bad AAS for one of these. Two fully independent channels, and the head pops out to lay on top if you want.

    I hear you Woodman! If I was gigging I'd be all over it. I love my TB202 in BlockDock. Pretty much the same set up as this, but if I want to go to a different sound I've got some knob twiddlin' to do. Which doesn't matter 'cause I'm not gigging. But having a foot-switch for that? I used to dream of such things when I was playing my ol' Mesa Mark Nothing.

    So... how long before 'too many knobs'? I count 22. Maybe half dozen less than Mesa MarkV if you include the back panel.

    If I’ve learned anything, it’s this: the older you get, the fewer knobs you need

    I tried to reply yesterday but got lost in Cyberspace (or didn't hit the send-key resolutely enough.) No personal experience, but there's praise after praise on the Quilter amp owners' FB pages. The Quilterites are almost like a sect, but the share of actively gigging (rock etc.) players is substantial and the number of followers (including former tube amp freaks) is growing. I'm perfectly happy with my SuperBlock, but for more headroom, darker jazz sound and less knobs, DV Mark's offering is still valid albeit bulky by Quilter's standards.

    Back in the day of doing weekly commercial gigs, I used a Pearce through the 80's and 90's (below). As heavy as a Twin. Would have killed for a full two channel lightweight combo like the Q Mach 3.

    Rich Severson did his weekly livestream earlier today and he spent the last 10 minutes talking about his Mach 3. He mentioned that he had just received a delivery of 2 Mach 3 amps from Quilter that he planned to sell, so if you're interested in the amp you might want to reach out to him.

    I have no direct affiliation with Rich except that I occasionally watch his livestreams and have previously bought a guitar and strings from him.

    Gosh, he has such a wonderful light touch.

    In my exchange with Quilter, I became aware of the fact that active giggers account for a small share of the total amp market. I would really like to see more of them expressing themselves on this Forum. Less of how it was in our heyday, more of how it is today, how it's gonna be and how it should be. (This coming from somebody 76 in November.)

    Just visit a GC. Lots of people who can barely play trying out amps.

    I wonder how they know that. Although I've talked with Pat several time about my gig setup, how I set up the MicroPro with the foot switches as a 3 channel amp.

    I got this months ago from Peter Melton who was Quilter's sales mgr up until recently. He of course had access to market data and talked to dealers all the time. As well, day after day someone is posting gig footage on the Quilter owners' FB.
