- Hybrid head (two preamps: a lamp and a transistor) with separate gain control for each
- 350 W into 4 ohm and 250 in 8 ohm
- Two input jack (active / passive)
- A compressor, ten band equalizer, low edge, high contour

UTILIZATION

Setup is simple: we look at the sound obtained by adjusting the two preamps, one adjusts the compressor (it's all subjective!).

When it's ok, you set equalizer and contours.

So far I have always been pleased with the sounds that I have left. The pots do not turn in a vacuum, they really work on the sound.

SOUNDS

- I play prog rock, funk rock style Red Hot, Infectious Groove and I find great.
- I use an Ibanez EDB 605, but I've already tested a Musicman SUB on, and soon I will use it with a Stingray. In any case, it sends!
- The sound is fairly neutral and slamming. Not overly friendly, but apparently by changing the lamp, we can change that. To slap ... just great! and above all, what power!
- I love the sound, but its cold side and neutral may put off some, I see!

OVERALL OPINION

I've never tried before buying it four months ago, for two reasons: to 380 euros on the Internet, I had no time to think! In addition, the reputation is well established Hartke!

The price / quality ratio is simply unbeatable (I bought the cabinet for 4 * 10 XL 380 euros as well).

I do it again this choice with his eyes closed. The only thing we can blame Hartke is that everyone has the same amp because of their quality / price ratio unbeatable ;-)! For this price, hard not to put him 10/10!
