Quilter Elevate

I had high hopes for this device, but I found it mediocre at best.

Pros:

- Amp tones are decent, ranging from clean sounds to high-gain djenty stuff

- Built-in effects are great

- Construction feels solid

Cons:

- It has a tiny, crappy screen. Navigation is difficult, and deep editing is extremely hard without a PC.

- The web app is buggy, very often it doesn’t register changes, or registers them with a 10 second delay.

- You can’t load your own impulse responses.

- Shaping your amp tone is complicated, and it’s unclear what to expect from the “Tilt” sliders.

- The signal clips at the input when I pick hard, even with passive PAF pickups. There is no input gain setting, and the manufacturer confirmed that I can’t do anything about it.

- No built-in overdrives or pitch shifter.

- No ASIO drivers, enjoy 100 ms latency.

I am sorry Quilter, but competition offers much more for less money.
