Hartke VX2515 Bass Combo Amplifier (250 Watts, 1x15 in.)

Hartke VX2515 Bass Combo Amplifier (250 Watts, 1x15 in.)

The VX2515 features a single 15 in. VX paper cone driver, matched with a horn-loaded titanium high frequency driver. The same high quality 3/4 in. plywood cabinet construction is ported and tuned for extended low-end response. The 2500 amp section supplies the combo with 250-Watts of headroom, more then enough to cover a variety of playing situations. The 2500 with variable compression, tube and solid-state pre-amps, and 10-band graphic EQ give you all the tone control you could ever need. The VX2515 travels like a pro thanks to the durable black carpet covering, stacking corners, recessed handles, steel grill and rugged casters.


Feature:
Nice EQ section but no tuner-out/mute/direct out. Very noisy constant speed fan.

Quality:
Seems sturdy but I'm driving it so hard it may not last.

Value:
Average for the price

Desirability:
Looks ok. A black face amp section like the 3500 would be nicer

Sound:
Great sounding amp but very quiet for a 250watt combo. Much quieter than the GK400RB (180watt) rig I had used prior to the Hartke. Don't expect this to be any louder than a 100watt combo. Has great low end. I think they sacrificed driver efficiency for huge bottom end.

Support:
Hartke has been very good at answering questions.

Overall:
Great sound but very quiet compared to what you'd expect from a 250watt.

Manufacturer: Hartke
