The Quilter Labs Neunaber Elevate FX Amp Cab Pedal is more than just another digital modeler—it’s the first product to emerge from the exciting new partnership between Quilter Labs and Neunaber Audio. This collaboration unites two boutique powerhouses founded by former QSC engineers. Pat Quilter brings a legacy of ultra-light, powerful amps built for working musicians, while Brian Neunaber is known for pioneering digital reverbs and cab simulations. With shared roots and complementary strengths, this merger delivers a unified vision: to make intuitive, expressive tools that empower players to sound their best—without the distraction of complicated digital systems.
Instead of chasing the crowded modeler market, the Elevate embraces an “Anti-Modeler” philosophy. It doesn’t clone amp tones—it builds a dynamic platform for shaping your own. Touch-sensitive response, real amp-like gain structure, onboard cab shaping, and a simple interface give you expressive control with zero menu-diving. It’s the pedal for guitarists who want to stop scrolling and start playing.
Intuitive Interface Built for Real-World Play
The Elevate strips away unnecessary complexity. No color screens. No hidden pages. Instead, you get clearly labeled knobs and tactile footswitches, allowing fast adjustments to gain, tone, and effects. Whether you're shaping tones at home or tweaking your rig mid-set, the streamlined interface keeps you focused on your sound—not the system menu. This simplicity helps reduce “option paralysis,” so players can focus on tone, not tech.
Responsive Digital Engine With Amp-Like Feel
Under the hood, the Elevate’s custom digital engine delivers real amp-like dynamics. Pick softer for clean shimmer or dig in to drive it harder—the response feels organic. It reacts to your playing and your guitar like a tube amp, but with the reliability and portability of a next-gen digital platform. This makes the Elevate ideal for expressive players who want depth and clarity without resorting to preset menus or complex patches.
USB Audio, JamLink®, and Pro-Level I/O
Beyond its analog feel, the Elevate offers modern studio and stage utility. It includes a 24-bit stereo USB-C audio interface (48 kHz) for direct DAW recording, plus full JamLink® codec support for future wireless I/O. On the rear panel, balanced XLR and 1/4" outputs provide seamless connection to any PA or interface, while the onboard headphone amp delivers 800 mW of clean monitoring power. MIDI and expression pedal support round out a pedal built for both flexible live use and studio integration.
Web-Based Tone Editor With No Software to Install
Need to tweak your tone in detail? Just plug into any Chrome browser and access the web-based editor. There’s nothing to download, and the layout mirrors the pedal’s physical controls for intuitive use. Edit presets, manage cab settings, and access firmware updates—all from a familiar interface. It’s the fastest way to prep for a session or fine-tune your live set, and it keeps your workflow as frictionless as the pedal itself.
Steel Chassis and Road-Ready Design
Built to survive life on stage or in a travel bag, the Elevate features a compact powder-coated steel chassis and recessed jacks. With pro-grade knobs and footswitches, the pedal is ready for countless gigs, rehearsals, and setups. At just 2.7 lb., it fits in any backpack or pedalboard case, and its low power draw means it works with most standard 9V supplies.
