Manufacturer's Specs
The MicroPro 200 twelve inch guitar amplifier is the most powerful of the pack. Pushing a powerful and articulate Celestion Classic Lead 80 speaker, you can just expect incredible tone. Great for overall power and lead work, this amplifier has a depth of tonal possibility you would expect from a dozen separate amplifiers. Weighing in at a mere 26 pounds, this amp is a breeze to take with you and will leave everyone stunned at what it is capable of. Pick this if you want a powerful lead amp or beautiful crunchy rythym for blues and classic rock.
Features
Loud Clean Tone
The MicroPro features 400 watts of headroom, internally limited to 200 watts of continuous output. The extra headroom allows more warmth and brilliance, resulting in "bigger, cleaner watts". Electric and acoustic guitars sound big and full with sparkling highs and soaring sustain. The MicroPro 200 is a perfect canvas for emulators and effects and takes overdrive pedals very well.
Rich, Expressive Overdrive
The MicroPro's overdrive tone is rich with natural harmonics and responds eagerly to your playing dynamics, allowing for more expression and feel. The Presence control adjusts post-master highs for mellow or sizzling overdrive tone.
Switchable Two Channel Operation
Using the Mode switch or the optional foot controller, you can switch between the clean channel (Ch 1) and the overdrive channel (Ch 2) with its full range of boost, voicing and master volume functions. Independent master volume controls allow you to set the balance between the channels.
Authenticity with Adjustability
Vintage amplifiers often achieve amazingly warm, authentic tone with little or no equalization. The Quilter uses similar input and output impedances, resulting in the same "inherently authentic" response with the tone controls on 50%. Then we add a fully active 3-band Bass, Mid and Treble equalizer, thus combining the warmth and natural sound of early amps with the flexible voicing of modern amps. Unlike traditional "tone stacks" the controls are truly neutral at 50%, so any adjustments start from a good foundation.
Multiple Boost Options
A preset boost can be engaged by adjusting the selector switch, or by using the footswitch. The adjustable Boost control determines the gain jump, and the selector switch offers four boost voicings.
Scoop Boost
Low and high frequencies are emphasized with a scooped midrange, resulting in more chime and body without excessive midrange distortion.
Bright Boost
A fat treble boost increases bark and bite for an aggressive slashing overdrive.
Loud Boost
Boosts all frequencies, for a straightforward increase in overdrive and saturation.
Hot Boost
Boosts overdrive to the max,and filters the resulting distortion to emphasize highs and lows, for a full-bore assault on the senses.
Multiple, Selectable Effects Options
The Micropro not only offers a full platter of traditional on-board effects, but brings new life to outboard pedal collections.
Reverb (Level, Dwell, and Path)
A premium digital reverb chip offers superior clarity and dynamic range. Exclusive analog voicing captures the bright, airy sound of a vintage reverb tank, without the mechanical limitations and feedback problems of spring reverbs. The Level control ranges from subtle to "drenched". The Dwell control adjusts the decay time from a short "klonk" to a beautifully prolonged "heavenly choir". The Path switch allows the reverb to be assigned to four different locations in the signal chain for maximum flexibility and control of dynamic range.
Tremolo (Rate)
The Tremolo rate adjusts from a very slow swell to a rapid pulsing. The depth is preset to match the most popular recorded examples, allowing for simple one-knob adjustment.
Voicing Modes (Mini, Tweed, Classic)
Each of these selections adjusts the amp's overall response and distortion characteristics, ranging from tiny "cigar-box" amplifiers, compact low-power vintage amps from the 50's, or popular full-size combo amps from the 60's. The settings may be used as foot-switchable effects, or left engaged as a full-time "personality".
Effects Loop
Overdrive pedals may continue to be used between the amp and guitar, with notably improved dynamics and tone. The rear-panel Effects Loop allows tone-shaping and delay pedals to be inserted after the Master volume and overdrive. Wait till you hear the clean cascades of sound that a good echo pedal can produce when processing a soaring lead passage. It's easier to get clean overdrive with a "dry" signal; phasers and chorus pedals can then produce much richer effects when processing the resulting overdrive harmonics.
Voicing (Mode Selector)
MINI, TWEED and CLASSIC are analog emulations that capture the tone and dynamics of several classic amplifier types. FULLQ is the natural, full-bodied sound of the MicroPro. VOL 1 (CLEAN) shifts the signal to CH 1, allowing for a clean preset.
MINI MODE Represents a small battery-powered or practice amp with rather abrupt overdrive and very limited bass response. Often useful as a "novelty" or "toy" alternative to the normal FullQ sound of the amplifier.
TWEED MODE Represents a 1950's era amplifier, with a mellow tone, chesty open-back bass response, and rich, chewy overdrive similar to "cathode-bias" circuits.
CLASSIC MODE Similar to larger '60s era amplifiers, with fairly full-range bass, a slight mid scoop, and crisper "fixed-bias" overdrive. The result is slightly glassier sounding compared to FullQ.
FULLQ MODE This sound represents the full development of the Quilter tone. It combines the open airy quality and fast attack of modern direct-coupled circuitry with the rich chewy overdrive normally found only in hand-tuned, open-loop amplifiers. Each of the vintage sounds has its charms, but FullQ represents "high definition" guitar amplification at its finest.
VOL 1 (CLEAN) MODE This is a special mode designed to allow two-channel switching. When in this mode, the VOL 1 control sets the clean gain. Certain CH 2 controls, GAIN, LIM, PRES, BOOST and VOL 2 are reserved as presets for the FullQ mode. Note that the LEDs above these controls go out in VOL 1 mode.
Sound guys will love the direct output that delivers a great sounding "miked cabinet" signal straight to the mixing board.
The isolated direct output allows you to route the output sound of the amp to a mixing board or external powered loudspeakers without using a microphone. The signal level is compatible with mic inputs, and is padded down from the actual signal across the speaker, to preserve as much of the tone quality as possible.
A high frequency rolloff is included to prevent high frequency system instability, and produces the same tone quality through full-range speakers as the internal single-cone driver.

Big Sound in a Lightweight Package
Leave your big, heavy amps safely at home! The MicroPro's 200 watt power plant, efficient design, and single high-power speaker provide a focused sound that is anything but small.
