The Quilter Aviator Cub is the embodiment of classic American amplifier design, offering a seamless blend of vintage warmth and modern clarity. This advanced single-channel combo amplifier is your gateway to the iconic sounds of the '60s, providing three historical treasures: '60 Tweed, '62 Blonde, and '65 Blackface. Whether you’re seeking the mid-range power of a Tweed, the throaty growl of a Blonde, or the silky highs of a Blackface, the Aviator Cub delivers it all with ease.
Designed for Performance
Crafted for speed and efficiency, the Aviator Cub is as powerful as it is lightweight, making it an ideal choice for gigging musicians and home enthusiasts alike. In collaboration with Eminence, we’ve developed a super sonic 12-inch speaker that not only captures the charm of classic low-powered speakers but also handles 50 watts of power, ensuring your tone is always full and dynamic.
Tonal Flexibility
The Aviator Cub offers unparalleled tonal flexibility, allowing you to switch between the three distinct voices with just a plug-in:
'60 Tweed: Rich in mid-range and perfect for blues and rock.
'62 Blonde: Bell-like cleans and a growling attack under gain.
'65 Blackface: Scooped mid-range with velvety highs, ideal for jazz and country.
Control at Your Fingertips
The Aviator Cub is equipped with a range of controls to fine-tune your sound, including a built-in limiter and a 3-band EQ. The effects loop with adjustable reverb ensures your effects are integrated seamlessly into your signal path. For silent practice or direct recording, the headphone output and line output provide the flexibility you need without compromising on tone.
Compact and Convenient
The Aviator Cub’s compact design belies its extensive feature set. It’s blissfully light at 21.5 pounds, making it a breeze to transport to gigs or sessions. Despite its size, it doesn’t sacrifice power or performance, delivering cranked-amp tones at volumes suitable for any venue.

Your Sound, Amplified
With the Quilter Aviator Cub, you’re not just playing through an amp; you’re channeling the spirit of an era. It’s a testament to our commitment to quality, tone, and the musicians who rely on us to deliver their sound to the world.
Separate SPKR VOL and SIG OUT volumes. When playing on stage with PA reinforcement, work with the sound operator to establish a comfortable SIG OUT level, and then use the SPKR VOL to set your personal speaker level without changing the SIG OUT level.
3 VOICE INPUTS allowing you to choose between 3 classic voices.
GAIN adjusts the distortion from clean to high overdrive.
LIMITER progressively brings down a "soft ceiling" that can keep overdrive to a "rolling boil" on soft settings, or increase sustain on higher settings.
3-BAND ACTIVE EQ Boosts and cuts Bass, Mids, and Treble frequencies.
Effects Controls
EFFECTS LOOP send and return jacks.

Volume Controls
SIG OUT controls the volumes of headphones and Line Out.
Received my Aviator Cub yesterday. Loving the tone of the amp. So compact and lightweight too. Sounds a lot like my old deluxe. This is a keeper!

The Quilters sound great, they sound the same from the second you turn them on and stay right there, and I’d be hard pressed to tell the difference between the Quilter and a Fender tube combo once I hit a pedal.

Great tone. Nice reverb. Light, nice weight. No need for pedals so far but look foward to exploring all possible tones. My Blues Jr is in need of repairs, but it doesn't seem urgent anymore now that I have the Aviator Cub!
