Quilter Labs announces the Steelaire 15” 200 watt steel guitar amplifier
Quilter announces new ultra-powerful and ultra-light 15” guitar amplifier aimed at the steel player or anyone looking for huge classic cleans.
Costa Mesa, CA – (March 27, 2014)— In what may be the most anticipated rollout of a guitar amplifier, Pat Quilter soundly answers the call for big 15” power in a portable package. The highly anticipated Steelaire amplifier redefines what can be expected from a large format guitar amplifier. Sporting a custom Eminence Neodymium speaker and a full 200 watt amplifier with 400 watts of headroom, the Steelaire delivers an incredible sonic signature in a minimal footprint. Designed with the Steel player in mind, it comes packed with a host of features designed to extract the most tone from the instrument and deliver the most power in the lightest possible configuration. Already on the road and in the studio with notable acts such as Deke Dickerson (Reverend Horton Heat), Tim Sergent (Dierks Bentley), David Hidalgo (Los Lobos), Fish Herring (Christina Aguilera), Rami Jaffee(Foo Fighters, Wallflowers) and many others it has more than proven its incredible capabilities.
The custom speaker, the result of a lengthy collaboration between Pat Quilter and Eminence Speakers has gained ground on what a big clean speaker is capable of. Starting with Eminence's rugged cast-frame 15 inch platform for maximum durability, they added a 3-inch aluminum voice coil and hyperbolic cone to assure outstanding frequency response, power handling, and freedom from breakup. As a finishing touch, a 4 inch aluminum dome adds a hint of sweet metallic tang, resulting in a creamy full bodied tone with a citrus-y finish.
The slimline cabinet is the result of a lengthy series of tone tests conducted with top professional players from coast to coast. With incredible ease of transport, and minimal stage footprint as well it is delivering on the promise of space age technology in a whopping powerful amp.
The amplifier includes a reinforced ballistic nylon cover and features a range of accessories available separately.
