"The warmth of an SVT, the responsiveness of an Aguilar DB 750 and the quality and clarity of an Avalon Studio Preamp".NAMM 2016 Glockenlang are often mentioned when folk are thinking of a European comparable. My "sources" inform me that the family business behind these amps are very highly regarded in the US for their cabs and they have invested circa $200K in R&D to come up with an amp head that matches the quality of their cabs. I will update as it goes along, and I think I may just have the first one in the UK!!! So far so good, I really like it, it's a powerful articulate with a great tone that lets your bass shine through. One bad point is the DI is affected by vol and gain, you turn up on stage, the DI to FOh goes up too. I have not put my pedals through it yet, but I do not see why it would not be good. Loads of bass on tap on the dial, the mid selector works very well and you can tweak away as you need. You pluck it transmits your bass sound, you play hard/soft etc it reproduces it. On to the sound - only played at bedroom volume (next step is mrs out the house volume) very articulate, transparent clear and reactive. There is no fan so it is deathly quiet, small white noise from the solid state pre amp when on, but obviously disappears when muted, this is certainly not very noticeable unless you are not playing and sat right next to it in a silent room. No pops turning on and off or plugging and unplugging instruments. The mute button is big and glows bright Luke sky walker light sabre green when engaged. The voltage has to be set in the factory, there is no switch.ĭials are really simple, straight up is flat, then it's boost or cut, you select your mid frequency you want to affect with the central dial. The power supply is not a normal kettle lead, it's a speakon type connection which I like, and they gave me 2 leads with European plug ends. It's solid and feels it's weight, which is fairly light, not the lightest. Well made, rugged chassis, with a slightly rough finish, but nice rough. This was copied from the web site (they also do a 400w version).

Previously I had a Hartke LH1000, then moved to Darkglass M900, but I have been using less and less dirt and craved more the simplicity of the Hartke in a lighter weight package. I also spoke heavily to a guy on talkbass who seems pretty high in the world of bass, he has played with George Lynch and other rock gigs, and he also rated it highly. Also Steve Aurajo at the bass hang has given it great reviews and speaking to him on email he also gave it a massive thumbs up. It's been around for 1-2 years and has a few artists like Taylor Swift's and Mylie Cyrus' bassist that use them. They have a good rep in PA speakers in the states and this is their first toe into the amp world. 1000w RMS of clean transparent power amplification.
