Details

Rare as hen's teeth here in the US. A real Glockenklang HeartCore in excellent condition. No issues whatsoever. The amp was cleaned and tuned up by ProTECH in Maryland in 2020. 400W of glorious Glockenklang Class-A tone. This head is a good as it gets. You have to hear it to believe it. The amp is similar in construction to a BassArt Head, but 100W more power and a more aggressive, firmer voicing; especially in the lows. The amp performs flawlessly. The highs are brilliant and crystal clear and the lows are firm and very muscular: it has the classic Glockenklang sound. I've owned two of the Class D Glockenklang heads, Blue Soul and Blue Sky, and they sounded excellent, but they didn't have the girth or raw brute authority of this beast. It slams, and it is a VERY loud 400W into 4 ohms.

I will ship anywhere in the Continental US, but the buyer will pay actual shipping. I will include the power cable and XLR to Speakon cable. I've a three space rack-bag that can be included for another $50 if the buyer wants it. The rack is in excellent condition. Please PM me if interested.

Thanks for your consideration,
Ben

Don't be thrown by the non-lunchbox size many are accustomed to these day. You'll be hard pressed to find a bass head that can outshine a Glock'. Killer stuff!

Beautiful beast! Looks like the speaker outputs are XLR? (Helge knows best.) Love my Blue Soul, tempted by this one. GLWTS.

Yes, they are XLR speaker outs. I will include a cable with the amp. I might have an extra cable too, but I'm not sure where I put it. The big difference between this HeartCore and your Blue Soul (I replaced my Blue Soul with the HeartCore) is in the firmness of low-end. The Blue Soul is an excellent amp, but the HeartCore is deeper, hits harder, and is more aggressive sounding. Same hi-fi high end, but this thing slams. I am happy that I'm getting a lot of interest in this amp. They are just so rare here in the US; especially in this condition.

Steelbed45, you are absolutely correct. This amp is crystal clear just like your Bass Art preamp. I think that the preamp circuit is very similar: both are Class A. I also have the original Bass Art Preamp (paired with a QSC PLX 1202 power amp) and it sounds fantastic. The Heart-core is more muscular though. It has the same famous Glockenklang crystal clear high end, but the low end is even more firm and gutsy. Also, it can get incredibly loud... so much useable power. I love it for rock and roll, but have used it for pretty much every kind of gig. I might decide to take this off the market. It is just too good.

It is really surprising how loud this Heart-core gets. And it has this really nice warm distortion when you push it. The Bugatti is a breathtaking power amp. So clear and transparent. Very rare too.

This looks so cool, I love Glockenklang stuff. What's up with the speaker outputs? It almost looks like XLR, but I've never seen powered XLR outputs

I’ve seen them on some Trace Elliott Amps too. Probably a European feature

Interesting. Haven’t seen that before. Basically you would just wire an XLR to a speaker cable with your preferred Jack on speaker end??

Correct. The other side can be whatever connection type you prefer. This is common in the EU. Also, with the Bergantino powered speaker cabinets.

gotcha, I know the IP cabinets use them for line level signal, I’ve just never seen speaker cables, carrying wattage using XLR. Perhaps the berg use XLR speaker cables to daisychain to passive cabs? Either way, so wish I could snag this thing!!
