Hahaha!
Sorry.... they should have said Cigars on one picture and Just for Men on the other! I’ll will forever be self conscious of taking pics from that side of the room!
Pics were taking in my “bass cave”, hence those pictures.

It’s a sticker, and it came off clean (no sticky stuff) when I removed mine.
Not sure how to do an image on my phone... I’ll post a pic in a little
My images have been acting funny (not showing up on the threads, but showing up when I go to edit them). Any-hoo, hope this one works...

It looks great that way.

Yes, mine is a Professional I bought last year new.
I have a Markbass TTE500 with four tubes going through a fifteen it sounds really good through, but the Quilter really brings out its tone and makes it sound amazing!

Yeah, we're both using the same combo and it works really well.
I've recently acquired both a BDDI and a Shift Line Olympic preamp and depending on what I want to do I use the amp alone or its line in with preamp pedals. I recently realized that not many class D amps have a line in, maybe the BB800 is the only one. I'm not a technician so I don't know if using the FX return on an amp is the exact same thing, but the BB800 works great as a power amp.
I also realized that I don't need the BDDI anymore since the Olympic already gives me all the tones I need, and it's a tube preamp.

I’ll have to check out that Olympic then, I have never heard of them before.
I was thinking of getting a Messa preamp to use with the Quilter, and just use the power section of the Quilter.
Good to hear your setup works!

It's a sticker. No screws.
Don't have to loosen any or do anything to remove it.
If you remove the 4 screws on the top of the amp, the entire amp just slides out of the surrounding metal chassis. Very easy. it might make it a little easier to get to the edges of the sticker. But I don't think you have to.
I actually think it looks very cool like this, and prefer it.
I agree. I might even try to find some black circle stickers to cover the screw heads
It would be great if Quilter offered these alternate stickers as optional replacements. 
Got mine removed. I had to remove the 4 screws and slide the amp out of the frame but it was easy.
That thing on the back is a Switchcraft 303 to sort of/kind of turn the XLR out in to a quasi-DI

just take a marker and color the nuts black.
(you can remove most markers with rubbing alcohol)

I've been covering the sticker with a Pedaltrain Booster, size medium. It velcros to the top of the BB800 and has enough room for 2 or 3 pedals.
