Am miles and miles away from most things PRF related, have no real on-the-ground connection to active posters, but if nothing else, y'all (and a Reverb article) have sold me on trying out a Quilter amp! Ha. Will be running it through a new Supro cabinet. Looking forward to it.
That's fine, but how do you feel about this slice of life? Sorry about the large picture, I didn't bother to scale it

If anyone cares . . . running the Quilter 101 Reverb into a Supro 1790 cab is a winning combination, even with the speaker not being "broken in" yet. Tone is nice and there are no pesky vibrations at hand. It's gonna take at least half a day of trying out different EQ settings and pedals to get a firm handle on the range of possibilities, but so far, the above sounds stellar with a clean guitar going through a Regent 150 preamp pedal* and a Ghost Echo V2. The difference between this and a tube amp feels beside the point. (* = If recent experience is anything to go by, where tone is concerned, tube or solid state, a preamp pedal is a sound investment, even with the added noise floor.)

Okay!

Awesome! Which model?
The cheapest one I could find, so the one channel thing. Probably should have gone for two channels but that’s more than I can spend for a while.

I have a Midas board and a 4 xlr input to mono xlr out tube mixer so that one extra pre will give me plenty to mess with for the time being.

because I'm a !@#%#@$ hypocrite. It will also DEFINITELY be the inspiration I need for my next great garage project (no?)
Nice - Kevin at Humdrum Audio is giving mine a spa treatment after many years of sitting. Finally of the age where I want to listen to some of the god-awful embarrassing shit I did as a kid.

These were fantastic units with really great feature sets if not overkill. Had both 4-track capabilities as well as sound-on-sound if you were to record 4 tracks and then use the 4 aux ins to add additional tracking while you mix-down. What makes it even more useful in 2022 is the direct channel outputs for going right into a daw if you're just wanting to get a little of that 4-track vibe or whatever

Picking up my weird TB standard from the luthier tomorrow. Posted about this earlier, but it had a smaller lower horn, not unlike a kramer aluminum neck.

Anyway, other than body shape, it had a dead bridge pickup, which I had rewound by Lindy Fralin. Then it went to my luthier who installed it, cut a new brass nut (original one had a weirdly wide spacing) and did some fret cleanup.
