«  a good little amp Study »

Value For Money : Excellent
it is a small 35W combo of 14.6 kgs (here's a little heavy to carry with one hand!) manufactured in China that can tilt as a stage monitor, which is also very practical, because you can hear him play better at home or with friends again ...
settings, master volume, bass, mids, treble, bright, limit, CD stereo, phones, power button "Power".
the back; output "direct out" effects loop; "preamp out" and "amp in".
and "speaker out" for output to another speaker.

UTILIZATION

this amp is a simple to use, fairly complete in all in terms of use and possibilities.
his issue, he returns rather, I have nothing to say about that side.

SOUNDS

for now, I do not know if it is well suited to rock, I would rather stored in the "funk" and "jazz"; for his somewhat "smooth" that emanates; he n has not really a grain ampeg, but it has a color all its own, I would say mid-treble.
it tends to obscure the grain of instruments rather typed, which is not an evil at times ...
I played at high volume (the volume to 10) with the big sound of my K5 thoroughly and it has not saturated! And is a good thing about an amp that is manufactured in China.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it yesterday and I'm pretty happy although I do not fond of Hartke more than that, I acknowledge that I have bought a 4X10 cabinet "carry with my ampeg B2R head and I have tried in the past few heads hybrid that sounded pretty good.
what I like, build quality, ease of use, the possibility of connecting the unit to an external speaker, being able to play without disturbing the neighbors, the limit, the inclined to better appreciate the sound of the amp, it does not saturate at high volume, light blue limit.
what I like least, the sound a bit "smoother" and weight of 14.6 kg which is a bit heavy for one arm.
For me, this is a very good quality / price since I bought it used ...
I will ever experience with this choice, because I think it's a very convenient amp for home and despite his very full 35W.
