Reviewsbased on 4 reviewsBest small gig/practice amp ever
by Buddha Longbone from Dallas/Ft. Worth TX
This amp is really amazing for its size and weight. I'm a grizzled old codger who has played forever and had been waiting for somebody to come out with an amp like this. Even as feeble as I am, I ca... read more [+]n pick the thing up and tote it around with no problem. Although it is only 70 watts it out preforms most 100 and 120 watt amps I've tried since it is still fairly clean when it is fairly well cranked up. I have had this thing for several years now and it is a champ. Often I walk into gigs with folks I've never worked with before and they take a look at what I'm planning to use, roll their eyes and assume I'm expecting to go through the board. Then I plug in, crank it up to about 5 or six, play a few notes and they immediately register surprise - "Holy s#@%, that thing sounds great!" and then the questions start. "How loud will it get before it starts to distort" etc. For small clubs I don't need to go through the board - I use a bigger rig for medium to large venues but this A70 really is worth its weight in gold - I play jazz, rock, fusion and even country gigs with this little thing and it never ceases to be a conversation piece when it holds its own against much larger amps. Plenty of tone control - I never use the limiter so I can't really speak to how well it works. close [-]

Awsome Little Amp May 5, 2011 Music Background: Bass (blues, Classic Rock ,Oldies ) I was useing my full rig for pratice till one day after a gig I didnt feel like setting up the rig for pratice So I decided to bring this amp to pratice and it did ... read more [+]rather well. It runs great in a small room but when you have a larger room with a lot of people it dosent do so well but then again it's only 70 watts and 1x12 I am going to be chaining this amp with the hartke 115c combo for gigs For a pratice amp its awsome For small room or a accoustic gig it's awsome but not made to play in a medim to large size room with a lot of people Awsome AMP !! close [-] Rattle.

I had to take the logo off the front grill, learned that after taking one back. No one knew what it was.. i tightened it to be sure, but ended up removing it to save the hassle.
September 1, 2008 Music Background: Hartke A70
by Nate from
Unfortunatley, I don't own one of these! A dorm mate down the hall does though, and while borrowing it that last couple weeks I've really fallen in love. June 22, 2008 Music Background: 8 years of bass, general audiophile The overall build quality an... read more [+]d design is excellent. For my uses, I'd say perfect. The kickback design is a great feature for jamming, really improves the acoustics. I've been using an old Peavey 1x12 100W, and I always find myself (and the drummer likes it better) placing it a couple feet off the ground for the right acoustics. No need with the Hartke, the kickback really sounds great! The head unit is also spot on. Everything works well, as it should. The sound quality is excellent, really putting the old paper-woofer Peavey to shame. It reacts super-quick with its ported box, and hits hard. The overall tone and clarity is excellent, I've heard none better in this type. It provides plenty of controls on the face, enough for me. But if that isn't enough for you, there is a loop feature so you can patch in your own effect box. Also, I've been using it as my subwoofer for my audio system. This may sound silly, but its really nice in the dorm room. Teamed up with 4, JBL Balboa speakers (Really love these) and your standard Sony 200W receiver. Placing the Hartke unit a few feet from my desk, I'm able to adjust levels for each album/track, or turn it off when its late... all while seated. I don't have these abilities with my current subwoofer OR the Peavey! All these inputs are really nice. The only negatives I've found with this unit are minimal. The combination of the 12" alluminum woofer and a ported box made a 5-string bass lowest notes slightly distorted, the arrangment seemed taxed. I wouldn't recommend it for a 5 string bass, get yourself a 15" Hartke instead! Also, it's a practite amp people! It's plenty loud for small jam sessions, but I wouldn't gig with it. Cheers mate close [-] Also popular
