One of Quilter’s most renowned amplifiers takes off across the Atlantic with the Aviator Cub UK! This solid-state stunner boats three distinct tonal inputs that authentically replicate Britain’s most beloved amps: an “AC” channel, “AC Top Boost” channel, and a "JMP" channel. These three voices run through a Custom Quilter Special Design 12 speaker to deliver all the chime and crunch that you’d expect of a great British amp: when testing it out at Sweetwater, we found that it closely resembles the legendary tone of Eminence’s vintage Greenback. Like most of Quilter’s catalog, the Aviator Cub UK is a supremely portable amplifier with a weight that belies its stout British power ? combined with the line/headphone outs and built-in reverb, the Aviator Cub UK is an amp that excels just as well on stage as it does in the home studio!

Tube Amp vs Solid State -?What's the Difference?


Three distinctly British tones





The Quilter Aviator UK’s three inputs each give you access to a classic British amp voice, with a “JMP” channel, “AC” channel, and “AC Top Boost” channel. The “AC” channel delivers the chime and jangle of the ‘60s, while the “AC Top Boost” takes that sound further with a bright grittiness that’s perfect for crunchy rhythm tones. If you’re looking for a powerful tonal punch, the “JMP” input kicks up that gain for one of the most sought-after overdriven tones in the history of rock music.





Soaring with versatility





The Aviator Cub UK soars with features that make it an excellent all-purpose amp. It comes with a mono effects loop to keep your reverbs from becoming muddy. There's also a line output for backline use. A headphone output makes quiet practice child's play, while a dedicated speaker volume adjusts the overall output for practice room-appropriate volume levels. Whether the Aviator Cub UK is your go-to studio tool, stage companion, or practice amp, it will pass with flying colors.
