Tone, Power, and Portability — this 200-watt 1 x 8" Combo Has It All
Quilter’s lightest combo amp yet is stuffed to the gills with pro analog tone and powerful stage-driving output. The 19-pound MicroPro Mach 2 1 x 8" combo gives you two 100-watt channels and more tone-shaping power than you can shake a stick at. 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 and lead-and-backing-tracks jams to full-on rock concerts. Hands-on reverb, tremolo, and EQ controls give the MicroPro Mach 2 a true amp tactile response. Its specially tuned enclosure with 8" Celestion TF0818 speaker and extension cab output — compatible with Quilter’s own stackable extension cabs (not included) — make this all-inclusive gigging solution as modular as you require, from pickup gigs and modest stages to full-fledged rock arenas and beyond. If you’re craving real-deal guitar output 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 gives you options for 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. Hands-on trem and reverb controls, which are just as fast to dial in as our favorite classic combos, feature some pretty advanced shaping controls, including Reverb, Tone, and Dwell knobs.
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 8" 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.
Broadband 8" Celestion speaker
The MicroPro Mach 2 is powered by a Celestion TF0818 speaker. This speaker features an 8" ferrite driver, Kevlar-loaded paper cone, cloth-sealed surround, and — most importantly — big, full-bodied sound. Celestion speakers have been powering the sound of rock for 50+ years. Quilter Labs, like countless musicians worldwide, relies on Celestion speakers for their fantastic sound and exceptional reliability.
