Ran it straight with no fx into a 2x12 with Vintage 30's and I have to say I'm quite impressed.
The headroom is there and I was a little sceptical after owning an EHX 44cal but the quilter delivers.
To my ears, it sounds like the Tri-Q is dialed in to focus on pushing and cutting the freq you need and not what you dont.
The gain gives you approx 80-85% of the dial range to dial in a nice break up with the last 15% left to play with the heavier breakup side of things. It's nothing new or amazing but if you dont have anything else it's more than good enough and I was able to get a nice tone working with the gain and the eq.
I got this because I wanted a small footprint setup and simplicity to keep things fun and it delivers. I regret not setting it up sooner.
Next, to see how it handles pedals.
