It's just "meh..."
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.

Finally, something inventive
Elevate is a genuinely exciting and forward-thinking unit because it actually does something different. Instead of being yet another digital box trying to recreate the usual Fender, Marshall or Dumble tones, it feels like its own take on modern guitar amplification — or an “anti-modeler”, as Quilter puts it.
The pre/post EQ and gain-stage architecture gives you a very deep level of tone shaping, especially if you enjoy building your own response and feel rather than just scrolling through presets. It does require some understanding, but that is also what makes it so rewarding.
The effects are excellent as well, which is not surprising given Neunaber’s involvement. Overall, Elevate feels like a next-generation approach to digital guitar amplification: compact, flexible, musical, and genuinely inspiring.

AMAZING, take my money!
This is the best modeler you can get for the price. It will eat for breakfast anything below 1000 euros. Maybe even above as well, but I lack enough experience with Fractal and QC. All the Neunaber algorithms in one box, pretty and easy to use and excelent sounding. What else do you need?
