Tone, Power, and Portability — this 200-watt 1 x 12" Combo Has It All
Quilter’s lightest combo amp yet is loaded with pro analog tone and powerful stage-driving output. The lightweight MicroPro Mach 2 12" combo gives you two 100-watt channels and more tone-shaping power than you may expect. The Mach 2’s all-analog signal path boasts six voicings based on some timeless British and American amps, as well as Quilter’s famed Full-Q voicing. Its 1/4" and XLR combo inputs equip this amp for vocals-and-guitar solo gigs. Hands-on reverb, tremolo, and EQ controls give the MicroPro Mach 2 everything you need to fine-tune your guitar tone. Its specially tuned enclosure with 12" Celestion Classic Lead 80 speaker and extension cab output — ideally matched with Quilter’s own stackable extension cabs (not included) — make this an all-inclusive gigging solution. If you’re craving real-deal guitar tone in an extremely portable solution, be sure to check out the Quilter Labs MicroPro Mach 2 from Sweetwater.

Six amp voicings
The all-analog Mach 2 allows you to select from six different amp voicings, which apply to both channels 1 and 2. Applying each voicing setting imparts a personality that reaches far beyond this amp’s powerful tone-shaping controls. Here’s what you get:
- Full Q: what Quilter believes a guitar amp should sound like.
- Smooth: a creamy, high-gain tone that’s laden with top-end clarity, this setting takes gain well without becoming overblown.
- Lead: based on a seminal high-gain British amplifier, the Lead setting gives you tons of classic-rock crunch and endless gain for solos and lead work.
- Surf: inspired by a large, full-bodied American amp from the 1960s — fans of classic surf music will instantly recognize this option for its tremendous low-end response and clarity.
- Brown: based on another ’60s-era American combo. , this voicing is marked by a “crumbly” sort of gain staging and a fizzy top end.
- Tweed: built off a tweed-covered, TV-style 1950s American workhorse, this lo-fi, somewhat nasal voicing is jam-packed with vintage vibe and rootsy goodness.
Onboard EQ, limiter, and FX
With your base tone dialed in, the Mach 2 offers no shortage of ways to sweeten your sound. A powerful 3-band EQ (channel 1) and multifunction EQ knob (channel 2) supply a broad range of guitar and instrument voicings. There’s also a limiter control to dial up amp-flavored compression to each player’s taste — some guitarists at Sweetwater also love using the limiter to tame spiky pickups for smoother clean tones. A vibrant tremolo and luscious spring reverb are built in, further reducing your need for external pedals.
Specially tuned sealed enclosure
If you’re looking for big sound at a significant weight and space savings, it doesn’t get any better than the Quilter Labs MicroPro Mach 2. This 12" combo amp features a specially tuned and sealed enclosure to deliver a balanced sound with a satisfying guitar-centric response. Sag, squish, chunk, and chime — you’ll find it here in the Mach 2.
12" Celestion speaker

Celestion speakers have been powering the sound of rock for 50+ years.
