Just won a Hartke B90 90 Watt RMS 15" on eBay for $230.

Anyone got experience with this amp. I got it because I'm starting out and need an okay amp for practice.

If I waited a little longer I could have got a Hartke A100 for $450 used.

I worked on one for my keyboardist's son. Assuming you have to pay shipping on top of the $230, I hope it was new. I couldn't have used that amp for my practice (1 guitarist, 1 keyboardist, electronic drums), due to it's lack of power. The Hartke Hydrive 115C is a much nicer amp, but twice the price.

I never use mine past 6 at rehearsals. In a small venue (~200 people joint) I had to shoot it up to 8, but that's all I've ever needed to.
When I play it at 3 in my house I can feel my floor tiles rumbling, so I don't know how much power you guys seek for practicing. To me it still kicks b*lls even after these 6 years of abuse (I use a lot of Fuzzes and effects)

I'll agree with the efe above! I've used it in clubs and it kicked booty. I got mine used about 9 or 10 years ago and it still gets the job done. A good amp.
