Marvin Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) http://www.samsontech.com/hartke/products/amplifiers/tx-series-amplifiers/tx600/ Valve pre like the LH series. I'd be interested to hear how that tone stack works. Edited January 21, 2016 by Marvin Quote
danbowskill Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 To me it is very cheap looking,hopefully reflect in the price? Quote
stevie Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Yet other amp with the switch on the back. Maybe their target market is DJs. Sorry, but it looks like a cheapo TC Rebelhead. And only one Speakon is a bit cheapskate. Quote
Musicman20 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 [quote name='40hz' timestamp='1453396173' post='2959156'] TC RH much??? [/quote] Exactly my thoughts. Quote
bonzodog Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I think it looks great. I'm a big fan of the LH series and use them as my main amp but also like the shape function from the other Hartke amps. Been waiting for a class D from them so hopefully will be affordable Quote
Dood Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I suggested that one what, 5 years ago? LH preamp with high spec D -Class power amp. Would have been a winner then. Quote
JTUK Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 My general thinking is that you aren't going to get any game changers at the usual Class D pricepoint so nothing new to see here... Quote
Lozz196 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1453410989' post='2959374'] My general thinking is that you aren't going to get any game changers at the usual Class D pricepoint so nothing new to see here... [/quote] Think you`re right there JT, but still think it`s good to see manufacturers putting out small lightweight Class D amps so that us lesser abled mortals can have the brands/sounds we like, in a package we can carry. I don`t think any of the Class D amps are really ground-breaking in comparison to the bigger models of the same brands that they`re based on, what is/was ground-breaking is amps that are light and portable. Sure some of the sound is sacrificed but I really don`t know how I`d get on playing bass without these small lightweight amps. Quote
AndyTravis Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 New pedals too? Looper, fuzz, chorus and a bass attack 2 Quote

[/quote] I get that, Lozz...and it applies to cabs and basses as well, I think. I run a lightweight option myself and I'd have to say the Demeter is my sort of compromise... but it wasn't the cheapest. Quote
indiegrungesound Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I think everyone's comments about this piece of kit are valid, but I'd very much like to try one out when they turn up in the stores! Quote
karlfer Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I like the simplicity, it seems to have all the basic functionality needed for a weekend warrior like me. Just an opinion of course Quote

bonzodog Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Saw some more pics of this the other day and it looks like all the dots around the dials light up when switched on so should look pretty cool when playing in the dark Quote

Looking forward to this being available. Quote
AlpherMako4 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 I think it looks good. I liked my old Hartke amp. They're late to the game so maybe they've stolen the best bits from all the competitors?? Hahaha hahaha hahaha Quote
Beer of the Bass Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) I really liked the sound of the LH500 when I tried one, so if this sounds similar but smaller and with more control over the mids it might do quite well. I'm not wild about the cosmetics though - it puts me in mind of a CB radio set... Anyone seen an RRP yet? Edited February 9, 2016 by Beer of the Bass Quote
arthurhenry Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 [quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1455055095' post='2975573'] Anyone seen an RRP yet? [/quote] $449 = £300 ish Quote
karlfer Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 [quote name='arthurhenry' timestamp='1455106101' post='2975886'] $449 = £300 ish [/quote] Would be nice, but unfortunately, by the time shipping, VAT and import duties go on, it's probably going to be nearer £400 at a pessimistic guess.

I have it on an old Kickback combo and think of it as "The good tone knob". Set everything else flat and turn until you get the tone you want, with any bass. Quote
