Discontinued Gear

Every product here helped build the foundation for what Quilter is today. Some are collector's items. Some evolved into current models. All carry the DNA of Pat Quilter's 50+ years of analog design.

Neunaber Effects

These pedals were designed by Brian Neunaber, whose obsession with reverb algorithms and DSP engineering produced some of the most acclaimed effects pedals ever made. Brian's work lives on in the Quilter Elevate — 14 Neunaber effects blocks in a single unit — and in the Illumine and Wet Reverberator plug-ins still available today. The pedals below are no longer in production, but the technology inside them never stopped evolving.
