Hartke HD75

Uso o combo em casa, para pequenos ensaios e estudos.
Não tenho muitos comentários para Hartke, creio que todos já foram ditos. Mas é um excelente combo, qualidade no timbre é o principal objetivo quando pensamos em um combo para baixo e o som deste combo é perfeito. As possibilidades de equalização com 3 bandas (grave, médio e agudo) e o eq gráfico de 7 bandas proporcionam diversas possibilidades de timbres. E quando aumentamos o volume não perdemos qualidade, ganhamos ainda mais nitidez.
Prós:
- falante de 12'' para 75w (75w hartke é muita potencia)
- equalizador gráfico de 7 bandas (o ajuste final para o brilho do timbre)
- acabamento perfeito, o combro é bruto, quando levanta para transportar sente-se a consistência e a confiança, não é um produto frágil.
- o fato de ser bivolt pesou muito na minha escolha, isto é espetacular.
Contras:
- 26kg... não creio que seja um impedimento, mas para quem trabalha tocando em bares e depende de transportar diariamente pode acabar precisando de um carrinho ou rodinhas para facilitar.

É certo que trata-se de uma excelente aquisição, custo muito além do grande benefício e satisfação enorme de um timbre perfeito.

SIMPLE:
it has everything needed on a combo amp of this category.
The Input perfectly works both with passive and active bass.
The Bass, Mid and Treble knobs (cut or boost) give a great control over the tone, but in case of more specific needs on the frequencies, there's a 7 bands graphic EQ to go a bit deeper into the sound shaping. Both EQ sections (knobs and sliders) are very effective and can provide a lot of cut/boost headroom on each corresponding band or single frequency - no need to cut or boost too much with the sliders of the graphic EQ in order to get a good result. Just I would have preferred to have an ON/OFF button on this EQ section.
To connect all the pedals of my board into the rig there is the SEND/RETURN section. Nice to have it!
Unfortunately there isn’t a Direct Line Output... It would have made this amp really complete.

POWERFUL:
a lot of power, I am quite surprise of this baby!
Warm and well defined sound (thanks to the materials used in the woofer, as claimed by Hartke itself).
Great low end and a lot of headroom to push up the sound, very good versatility with the 2 above mentioned EQ sections. And the output level is always kept under control by the internal limiter: that's really a great feature and it definitely works pretty well !

EFFECTIVE:
Just simple as easy to use, with a general linear sound that respects the character of the bass plugged in (it doesn't add any particular color to the sound of the instrument).
I think it provides great performances in all its features and commands.
Not very portable, quite heavy. And I don’t like the uncomfortable handle on the top. I would have preferred 2 handles on the sides, that better prevent back pain accidents if you need to often move it (fortunately that’s not my case with this amp ; )

Well I need a practice amp after I sold my Ampeg BA108. I needed a bigger amp to satisfy my power need.

I purchased this amp at 7th of May and it arrived 13 days later to Turkey. The first thing i feel is when i picked up the box is its a bit heavy compared to something like Rumble 100 (Unit is 23 kilo's to be precise) but it's ok for me.

Pro's

The aluminium+paper speaker is really great. If you like some snappy/sharp tone , it works wonders. But its also a very versitale unit. The low and top end is very great and clear !! The 7 band eq is very nice to see where do you want your tone to be and send input can be used for recording devices.

Con's

There's no -15db input. But it can be used for both active and passive. Bit of a head-scratch moment when I got it. Also the headphone input could be smaller one. However the biggest minus points for me is you can't turn off the tweeter. Otherwise its a really great amp.

I recommend that product for anyone who needs a really versitale combo amp.
