Quilter Labs MicroBlock 45 45-Watt Guitar Amp Head Pedal

Gearank High Notes

2020.08: Equal Highest Rated Pedal Board Guitar Amp Under $200
Tied With:
Orange Terror Stamp

Gearank Recommended

The MicroBlock 45 appeared on our recommended list for Pedal Board Amps Under $200 from August 2020 until September 2021 when it was removed due to a lack of availability.

Overview

Note: This has been discontinued - we recommend the Orange Terror Stamp as an excellent alternative.

The Quilter Labs MicroBlock 45 is a 45 Watt guitar amp in compact stompbox form factor.

Ironically, there's nothing to stomp on, as it only has three knobs that let you adjust Gain, Master and Tri-Q (a one-knob EQ tone control).

The Tri-Q tone is designed to allow for a wide range of voicing, from scooped clean to mid focused lead.

Unlike preamp pedals that need to connect to a power amp, the MicroBlock 45 is a preamp and poweramp all to itself, complete with a speaker out and a headphones out.

Speaking of headphones out, you can also use this as line level output for those who want to plug into a PA system, or for connecting to another pedal.

If you're looking for a quality yet compact amp head that'll sit nicely on your pedalboard, then check this pedal out.
