Hartke VX2515

Hartke Combo consists of a floor of HA 2500 amp, a loudspeaker 15 'and a titanium tweeter.
Pre-amp transistor simulation with a lamp, two potentiometers used as gain, lamp and transistor can be mixed.
Compression-knob
10-band Equaliser (with on / off button)
Adjustment knobs-acute and severe
-Volume
-Power 250 Watts into 4 Ohms, 175 Watts into 8 Ohm.
Two-entry, passive, active
-At the back, effects loop, can connect a second speaker, XLR DI out with choice before / after power amp.

UTILIZATION

One branch is we play is simple! Manual in English, gives her a largely satisfactory, lacks a little in the medium had to baffle 15 '... but this little fat to be set equalizer or the addition of a slap 4x10 '.

SOUNDS

I play reggae and punk, reggae level no problem deep bass, although this level punk music has no specific sound, the level of attack must be adjusted with the equalizer.
Sound level can be a multitude of adjustment possible with the equalizer which is a big advantage of this combo. Snapping sound and deep bass all things are possible.
Do not rely too much on the compressor, it plays more the role of a limiter than anything else, though perhaps useful in extreme settings!
- This gives a good sound, by adjusting the mixture thoroughly "tube / transistor"

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years by repeating and live (even on relatively large stage).
-What I like most is the equalizer that allows you to set very precisely by changing the sound levels of frequencies.
Level-money, I'd say the price reflects its qualities no more, no less.
The failure-that I find is an inefficient compressor, and its weight exceeds 30 Kg
"It was the amp that I needed to start a group, I'm happy with the choices I made ... but I intend to sell it soon for a more powerful head and a smaller footprint.
