ButtKicker BK-GR Gamer Review

This is the best addition to my videogaming I have made in a number of years. It simply clamps to the center post of an office chair, and the included power amp receives the audio outs from virtually any audio source (receiver, pc soundcard, game console, even ipod) . Hookup is intuitive, and takes about 15 minutes total.
For racing games , especially racing sims like RfactorrFactor V. 1.255 or GTR2GTR 2: Realism Redefined, this bass shaker adds about as much sense of immersion as a Forcefeedback steering wheel does. It makes you feel the true roar of a throaty v8, the thud of the curbs when you roll over them, and numerous other sound effects that you never really paid attention to beforehand suddenly come to life. Used in conjunction with a forcefeedback steering wheel (Logitech PlayStation 3 Driving Force GT Racing Wheel you will fall in love with your racing games all over again, it’s just awesome.
It also enhances other videogames as well.
I also like using it with headphones, for late night videogaming and movie watching. It lets you feel the bass sounds forcefully without disturbing anyone else. Additionally, I even tried wedging the device under the bottom of my couch, and found that it could shake the whole couch quite forcefully simulating huge special effects from movies.
Definately worth buying, and not very expensive compared to the higher end Buttkickers (ButtKicker BKA300 Wireless Home Theater Kit with ButtKicker Advance and Power Amplifier, with more bang for the buck, and a good sampling of what the more powerful versions might offer.

Buttkicker 2…Increase the realism – Smooth –
The Buttkicker Gamer 2 is an amazing product that took my flight simming to an all time high. This is a must have…Simply awesome.

Great Product – T. Johnson –
I got this as an early Fathers Day gift (one of the things I asked for), and I love it. Once I got it hooked up so that it works in all games. I have a Creative Sound Blaster | X-Fi Titanium Fatality Champion Series PCI Express sound card with 5.1 speakers and that seamed to give me problems at first when trying to connect to the sound card in the rear, so what I did was connect it to the Creative Front panel with the Headphones jack and everything seems to be working great. Now my son wants one after playing BF Bad Company 2 he has started to save his paychecks. I use it mainly for Racing Simulators so the ButtKicker combined with my G25 wheel it makes for a awesome experience.

One thing I did not like was the way that the Main output connected to the Amp, it really seamed like it was not the correct cable, but I read elsewhere that others had the same issue. Once plugging in no problems.

Also make sure that use the correct settings on the amp, so not to blow it up.

Hopefully this is better than the original Gamer – James W. Wilson – North Carolina
This is more of a review of the original Buttkicker Gamer and the Guitammer company.

I purchased the original Buttkicker Gamer for my Roland VDrums (TDW-20) and connected it to the kick drum out. All I needed was a tiny tap when I played the kick drum. Even at this low level the amp started smoking after several uses.

I was sent a replacement promptly, but had moved on and couldn’t try it out until the unit was out of warranty. When I finally set it up again I got several uses out of it, but it then smoked. Again.

I called Guitammer today and was offered a replacement amp of the Buttkicker II design for 0 – less than the price for a complete new system! And more than the cost when I purchased my system!

Looks like Guitammer knew about the problems with the original amp so designed a new one. There are lots of stories on the web about these original amps burning up.

Maybe the new amp doesn’t have these problems, but this is just a little more background on the Guitammer company…
