Quilter DirectAmp
Quilter · amplifier
The Quilter DirectAmp is designed to work as an amplifier and a direct interface at once, giving a speaker output alongside a balanced direct feed so the same unit can drive a cabinet on stage and send a usable signal to a desk. Quilter's approach across the range is a solid-state power section engineered to behave like a valve amp at a fraction of the weight. Independent coverage of this specific model is limited, so this description does not assert wattage or feature specifics that sources do not establish.
