    This is a rackmount amp transistor.
    The conventional connectors (entered active and passive, 2 hp outputs, line out to the XLR)

    On paper the 250 watt amp do.
    Indeed there is a single compressor.
    Adjustments are made by a graphic equalizer 9 band (I think it will)

    UTILIZATION

    Wiring easy, quickly found doing the right sound for the manual I do not remember him so handling is easy.

    SOUNDS

    So it is not at all typical metal must say. Overdrive can be useful to ca.

    on the other hand for a big jazzy is not to say he pauses.

    Well rounded. Acute and deep bass beauty.

    I use it with my Ibanez BTB 676 and from time to time with my Ashdown overdrive.

    I do not hate anything, I just regret the absence of a gain knob.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It must be 3 or 4 years that I have. No problem with it. It is robust as gear.
    I really wanted to test Hartke and admittedly my budget was limited so I did not not tested many other amp.
    I especially like its well-rounded sound, which goes very well with my bartollini MK2.
    This is an excellent value for money ;)

    It is sure that I do the same choice. Although now a small tube amp home Ampeg make me very happy; or why not add an Ampeg amp in small Hartke. Stay tuned B)

    This bad boy is 250 watts at 4 ohms and about 180 at 8 ohms. The preamp gives you solid state and tube gain (this never made sense to me in a tube amp, but hey, the amps sounds good, why question it right?)

    Next you have a compressor. Not bad on 1 or 2, but quickly goes overboard after that. After that is your generous 10-band EQ section, followed by a hi and low pass and finally your master volume.

    On the back you have 2 outs, an effects loop and a DI.

    That's A TON of features for a $250 amp!

    I bought this amp because of the price and because I was sick of lugging around my big amp if all I was doing was practicing alone or with a quieter setup of musicians.

    I bought this amp because of the price and because I was sick of lugging around my big amp if all I was doing was practicing alone or with a quieter setup of musicians.

    I paid $225 for this amp. I was surprised they included rack ears as well in the box. This amp has everything you need.

    Postives features are all of the features. Pre/Post volume, a compressor, an EQ, a DI, rackmountable. This amp has all the features of a more expensive amp with less power and a friendy price tag.

    None at all. Once you play it for awhile and it warms up the fan will go on. It is not loud in a live setting, but if you are recording I was mic your cab in another room or a couple feet from the head.

    I have only had it for a few weeks, but it feels sturdy and well it works as it should.

    Don't overlook this amp. It is a great price, buy it for practice, buy it as a backup. This is a great amp to have laying around.

    A transistor amplifier
    250W
    All jack
    9band graphic eq, compressor, low-high, master

    UTILIZATION

    If we know how to use a no prob Eq found the sound they want quickly. No need to use the manul but otherwise it is in English but easy to understand.

    SOUNDS

    The range of sounds is impressive for an amp at this price, it's going to sound super super heavy round crystal at its very great for slap. I play an Ibanez GSR200 and the sound is very good. I'm not playing that finger (slap, walking, ..) The baffle is a Hartke Vx115

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 1 month and I am very glad I remake that choice without prob (especially with the budget I) This amp is great…
