The overdrive is a non-adjustable Delta-Comp limiter, which holds pretty well and subtly keeps the volume low enough so as not to feed. That said it provides pretty great sound and provides a contour filter as well as an overdrive. It is a bit of a step down from the rumble 40 as it doesn't offer quite so many onboard controls, there is no gain and you are limited to your standard 3-band EQ as opposed to the 4. Now whilst we would never suggest anything below a 75/100 for performing with, this is a good basic beginner practice amp ideal for bedroom use. Special mention to the output line that is very good, I use it as a preamp to record my bass on computer.First up we are having a look at the lower-end of the Fender rumble line, having previously looked at the 15 model we are stepping up to the 25. I admit I tried a few amps in this power range / price, the opportunity arose In this regard, amplification was insufficient for one micro rosette of folk guitar. I am really happy, it's perfect for use as I do: at home, low noise, low drive + voice delusions.ĭo not count of course not repeat with, or when a single unamplified guitar. I use it as a return to low delusions + beatboxįor guitar, the sound is still frankly rotten (but not for that) Its very true, correct response in a wide frequency range, rather than crystalline (often this power amps are a little deaf, not the case), but the bass is really well made (low-volume, Of course, beyond noon he drools a little) Reinforced corners and carrying handle.Įqulisation a fair bit (quality and quantity)įlat on the equalizer, which is not super efficient Line Out, headphone output, effects loop. Perfect fit in the practice amp category. If I gig I would need a larger more powerful unit like a Hartke Kickback or Ampeg. Hartke is well regarded for their professional combos.Great value for the money. If you need to gig under those conditions look elsewhere.Lightweight but solid construction.īuild quality is good no visible flaws. This unit will not fill a large room or compete with your drummer. It works well backing ensembles at church. The sound is very good for practice and small group use. It is very portable and unobtrusively fits under desks and tables leaving usable space. This unit weighs 31 pounds and has a 10 speaker in a small cabinet. Paid $100 (It was a Zzounds offer for a Trace Elliot that went out of stock - great service). I needed a practice amp for late night use living room jams and church performances. Considering all this and the price at which I got this at, the B30 is a great deal for the beginner bass player. It is not a hassel at all to move around and can take its share of nicks. I've used the B30 for playing along to my favorite bands, and for just jamming in my friends' basements. Since i've been playing the electric bass It can also take abuse well, having whacked it on a wall or two transporting it from place to place. Its rather light and makes easy travel with the exterior handle and tuck away cord. But for those who might use pedals, having that fourth EQ knob(shape), will help a lot to shape the sound you want. The amp also only has the three basic EQ settings(bass, mid, high), which may be fine for some players. This unit, despite its rather powerful amp will start to break up and lose good tone once you get past 8 on the volume control. It also comes with a quite a few sockets including, line out, headphone, an effects loop in, an effects loop out, and two input jacks (Passive and Active). It has a nice easy to control EQ settings too. The B30 is probably the best beginner amp of this seriers because it give the player volume with its 10in. This amp like others in the B series of hartke amps give the beginner or the advanced player with a variety of options. I bought this amp at a local music dealer (Dave Phillips Music & Sound).I paid $160 for it. I was basically looking for a beginers practice amp that had enough power to be used not only as a practice amp but to jam with my friends. I bought this amp to use as my very fist amp.
