Quilter Labs InterBass!

Wow! Thank you! Didn't know it. My goal is a compact home practicing amp which will replace my GK MB200 which does not work for me paired with Barefaced One10 cab. My main amp is Quilter BB800 and it sounds stellar with Barefaced cab, I just wanted something smaller but with the Quilter tone DNA.

Let me know how you like it, because I have serious InterBlock GAS myself. It would be my 3rd Quilter amp, which I think would officially make me a "fanboy." ;)

I really like the Interbass paired with my One10. It makes me feel somehow as if the bass, amp, and cab are a single instrument. I don’t know how to describe it, but it feels very...alive!
Good to know, thanks! The combo you've described is just exactly what I feel when I pair my BB800 with One10, very solid sounding unit. Hopefully InterBass will sound similar.

Sure I will after I get one! I've owned many class D amps but the Quilter BB800 replaced them all, never looked back. Probably because of Pat Quilter's unique in-house manufactured power module used in Quilter amps.
 
I haven’t seen many InterBass units on used market. I think the people who have tried them are holding on to them. Maybe when gig $ comes back I will get one to compare to my Aguilar TH pedal. I like what the TH brings to the BB800 and imagine there are some similarities with the InterBass as a preamp.

The Interbass will be my next equipment purchase. It will be useful for me in many instances. I used to have a BB800 but never needed all the power it was capable of putting out so I downsized to a small wattage amp. It is rare I do a gig that doesn't have good house sound.

Count me in as another happy interbass user, as of a couple days ago... While I haven't had the opportunity to play with others yet, I have no doubt it will work exceptionally well for me. What has pleasantly surprised me the most, outside of the volume it produces, is the quality of tone and how easy it is to get a great sound. I'm playing through a GR Bass 208 and it's like a completely different cabinet. The best way for me to describe the tone, whether in vintage or modern mode, is thick yet articulate.

Depending on the gig, style and overall loudness, it very well might. It will be interesting to see how it does with the F212, as if memory serves that's not a particularly efficient cab, though it gets super loud with great low end extension. Please report back if you end up doing it.

I just got the Interbass a few weeks ago, and haven't had a chance to gig with it (members of both bands have gone south for the winter, the big sissies), but it certainly rattles the windows of my house with a single Euphonic Audio Wizzy 12 M-line. The M-line is a really efficient cab, at 103 dB /1 watt/ 1 meter. I don't foresee any problems covering my classic honky-tonk group and cocktail jazz trio if I need to. I bought it with the intent to use it as a backup and to power my basement practice rig, but I will definitely give it a workout as a gigging head at least a few times.
Is yours a 4 or 8 ohm Wizzy M-Line? I've got a 4 ohm sitting collecting dust. I've had it on CL forever. Nobody wants a little 4 ohm cab. I'm thinking about getting an Interbass to make use of the EA for home use. Do you think that would be a loud (for home) little rig? I think the Wizzy driver is 200 watts? All 45 watts into it oughta make some racket.

Mine's a 4 ohm, and that plus and interbass is a really nice rig. I have used exactly that for practice a few times, and it's been more than enough grunt for a classic country band. I was plenty loud for practice and could have turned up much louder. A really nice fat tubey sound as well.

Sweet. Thanks. I have an Interbass on the way. I'm looking forward to plugging it in to the ol' Wizz.
Thanks for response.
