"The Hartke"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Sound
Th eguitar has a nice preamp with the tube but its hard to get around it to just amplify your clean signal when running other effects. It's really a different sound then I'm trying to get. Sounds really good at times though. and It's Supre portable and easy to use.
Features
It's distortion is really murky, but the reverb tank in the amp itself is really good. I recomend having a preamp distortion, but the signal may have a hard time without distorting during the amps preamp stage.
Ease of Use
Super easy to use. Extremely light portable and convinient especially for gigs and studio work. Love it. Super playable.
Quality
Made and put together very well with amazing craftsmanship. Better than Marshalls accually. Metal Hardware,Casters, Wheels sturdy Cab, solid head. Good electronics.
Value
About $250 pretty good value, It's a sturdy amp.
Manufacturer Support
Unluckily the product is discontinued by the manufacturer. A shame.
The Wow Factor
Very attractive amp, and versatile. If your good at guitar tech you can find a way to make this thing sound amazing, however, if you are not so good at tech you may not like the sound out of this amp, it takes some time and work to get this amp to sound perfect but the quality and visual apeall of the amp is amazing.
