Hartke 2500: solid value, June 11, 2010
This review is from: Hartke 2500 Bass Guitar Amplifier Head, 250 watts (Electronics)
The Hartke 2500 is a 250-watt (max.) bass amp with two pre-amp settings, equalization, a high- and low-end 'cut,' compression, and master volume. Takes active or passive instruments. Effects line in/out, ground lift, fan, two speakers out. 25 lbs.
I play mine through a highly rated Schroeder 12-inch 8-ohm cab, which draws 175 watts; adding another 8-ohm speaker would draw the full 250 watts. With the single speaker, I get amazing tone and power. Of course, it helps that the Schroeder speaker is top quality.
Features: a tube-emulating pre-amp and a solid-state pre-amp. These can be employed separately or blended. The tube-type produces a fatter, old-fashioned sound. EQ sliders are efficient. Compression can be dialed in and is very helpful when playing louder and harder as it prevents sudden strong signals going to the speaker(s). The high- and low-end cut seems somewhat superfluous, being similar in function to the equalization function. But I may be wrong about that.
Strongly built cabinet, convenient handle (on side). Hartke Co. responsive to two emails. An extremely good buy.

infinite tonal possibilities, March 23, 2010
This review is from: Hartke 2500 Bass Guitar Amplifier Head, 250 watts (Electronics)
This is about the most versatile bass amp I've ever had. It's very clean and punchy and has plenty of power. with two preamps, a compressor, a graphic eq and high and low contour controls, this amp covers it all. Hard to beat for the price.
