![]() This renders it a suitable practice amp for playing a variety of genres and perfecting a range of techniques. The HyDrive speaker cones are constructed with a paper pulp and aluminum blend which gives it rigidity and flexibility for a versatile set of tones from smooth and warm to the punchier bright-end, peaky attacks. Granted the HD15 model has a smaller dimension (6.5-inches) than their higher-output versions, but the cone composition makes it one dynamic little beaut. It serves-up a good range of tones, despite its back to basic options, this is largely because of the quality of the companies proprietary speaker designs. Alongside the 3-band EQ, you have your volume adjustment. The HD15 is the companies entry-level maiden model it offers onboard bass, mid, and treble controls with hardy dials in an uncluttered layout. We are once again sticking with the low-wattage to keep our comparisons fair, the Hartke HD15 combo amp is another great bare-bones practice option, let's review. It has an auxiliary in and out so you can use this a portable silent practice amp to jam to tracks and practice playing technique without investing a whole bunch. It features a volume knob as well as tone and gain, there is an overdrive switch, but to be honest, with the break-up the gain acts a low-level overdrive at max volume anyhow. It does have a fairly low cut-off for the break up as far as the volume levels are concerned. It has a pretty good sound for a 10-watt speaker and they make a specifically bass orientated model that has some low curve response to reproduce the lower harmonics of your signal. No one really wants to spend a whole lot on something so impractical which is why we have picked this cheap little amp from SUNYIN. Now when it comes to battery mini-amps, let's be honest most of them suck and in all honesty you won't find many which will do your bass any favors but being able to have a jam on an outing is just as appealing to us bassists as it is to a guitarist. This second selection may raise a few eyebrows, but it has been included as a versatile travel amp that can be easily lugged about. The stiffness with the contour up also gives it a nice attack, ideal for slapping. It is equipped with a high-quality 8-inch speaker with a stiff paper cone that doesn't dampen, which is what gives this amp its name-sake rumbling nature. If you want the perk of sculpting it then it might be worth the price-hike for the Rumble 40 model which gives you drive and level dials as well as a bright and vintage switch in addition to the contour. 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.
