System Features
The Hartke Systems Transient Attack® 1400/1415 Bass Amplifier offers all the
newest concepts in state-of-the-art bass amplification. Here are some of its main
features:
• Power to spare—a full 140 watts into 4 ohms.
• Bipolar design for clean, crisp sound—as well as our Transient Attack®
circuitry, which ensures that every nuance of your bass performance is
reproduced faithfully.
• Four-bands of high-quality equalization, allowing you to create a broad
range of tonal colors for your bass instrument.
• A unique contour switch, which simulates classic tube amplifier sound.
• A built-in compressor utilizing “soft” clipping—this not only adds real “punch”
to your bass, it also allows you to smooth out volume differences between
notes.
• A separate headphone output which automatically mutes the speaker out-
put, making this the “perfect” practice amp.
• A feedback-type input that accommodates a broad range of input levels (up
to 15 volts), so that you can use the Model 1400/1415 with pretty much any
kind of bass, from passive models to those with active circuitry.
• Effects loop send and return jacks that allow you to interface professional
outboard effects processors.
• The Model 1415 Combo amp includes a special Hartke 15” 4-ohm driver
mounted in a rear-ported bass reflex cabinet; these components are specifi-
cally designed to match the amplifier circuitry.
• Rugged construction and carpeted exterior makes the Model 1400/1415
eminently road-worthy.
