    EQUIPMENT IN VERY GOOD TOO CONSIDERS

    Hartke HA3500Published on 11/27/14 at 03:52
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Transistors with 1 tube preamp and 1 transistors.
    350 W power
    Equalizer, outline, compressor

    UTILIZATION

    Very easy to have sound.
    The equalizer is sensitive and must spend some time in the beginning.
    As against the compressor is not used much.

    SOUNDS

    I day of rock 60's and 70's, a quattro, high volume ... I mainly use a Fender Jazz Bass (sometimes Precision) and recently the Epiphone 1 JB (Jack Casady). I pass through a Big Muff Bass EA and The Mole. The amp is suitable for different bass without changes to the settings.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I bought used there is now a long time ... and it's still there ... Never a problem despite sustained use.
    The head is associated with a 4 x 10 speaker Carvin, who sounds much warmer than the enclosure original metal cones.
    Very versatile amp, very punchy, dynamic and super-powerful: the volume beyond 3 or 4 and a half, you start to really play TOO hard. So that you have a more than comfortable margin before starting to force the beast. Bass and lower midrange HUGE. Too sharp metal strand.
    Equalizer very effective, both preamps and two contour buttons also.
    Only the compressor is not convincing. In fact I turn and I put the minimum at 2 or so at most; beyond three sound "disappears".
    I packed the head in a flight case Gator.
    In short very satisfied if I had to change it would be in a pinch for the vintage Ampeg or Acoustic ... but hey! It's expensive and above all it is heavy !! And the best is not it often the enemy of the good?

    Great amp!

    Hartke HA3500Published on 04/21/13 at 08:00
    It's a hybrid amp.
    Solid-state and tube peamp, solid-state power amp

    2 pots for the preamp (tube and solid-state)
    1 compressor pot
    1 10-band EQ with On/Off switch
    2 Contour pots (Low and High Pass)
    1 Master/Volume pot
    1 effects loop.
    1 DI output with Pre/Post amplification switch
    2 speaker outputs on 1/4" Jacks

    UTILIZATION

    There's a manual included, but the controls are simple and intuitive.
    In the manual you can find setup examples, which is practical to start and find the right sound, because you can then fiddle with them a bit and find the desired sound.

    The 10-band EQ is not very easy to understand in the beginning (I'm used to 3 bands only) and the bands are very sensitive, but you'll get used to it.
    So you can easily find the sound you are looking for!

    SOUNDS

    It's great for all styles of music.
    I play mainly rock/punk. With a Fender Precision the sound is very twangy, it's exactly what I was looking for.
    This amp has been used by other bassists playing different styles of music during gigs and they have all been very satisfied. This amp adapts perfectly, regardless of the music genre!

    I was disappointed by something: The built-in compressor is not on par with the rest of the amp. Up to 2/3, there's almost no effect and if you go beyond 3, almost no sound comes out of the amp. It's a mere accessory (not necessarily indispensable), but given its quality, it's better not to use it. I actually opted to buy a compressor pedal.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It must be 8 months since I use this amp and I am not disappointed, on the contrary. It's great for small and big stages. For the time being, I haven't been able to crank the volume knob beyond 2 during gigs (otherwise it gets picked up by the PA).
    Tested at higher volumes at home, I was able to notice some noise with the volume set to 5/6 but up to now I have never had the need to play that loud!
    Before buying this amp, I had the opportunity to test other brands, like Ashdown, Ampeg and MarkBass, as well as other Hartke models. I chose this one because, in my opinion, it's the most versatile at this price point. It's the best value for money, even if you don't quite have the same sound as with an all-tube Ampeg.

    Now that I'm used to playing with it, I would buy it again without hesitation. It's powerful and with a relatively decent price, you can go for it with your eyes closed!

    Reliable, sturdy, practical, powerful

    Hartke HA3500Published on 02/24/13 at 02:44
    Everything has been said already, so I'll sum it up quickly. Front panel: active/passive input - 2 preamp tube/solid-state - compressor - 10-band EQ - low/hi pass and master. Back panel: 2 speaker outputs - effects send-return (with balance) - DI output
    This amp delivers 240 watts into 8Ω (350w max into 4Ω), rackable amp

    UTILIZATION

    Extremely simple to use. I bought a Hartke VX410 cab (but I'm thinking about buying a Hartke VX115 to get good subs). I have the manual but have never opened it. Very versatile amp in terms of sound, powerful enough to play with hard-hitting drummers. Very robust, it has been abused in all possible ways and I have used it outdoors under extreme conditi…

Very versatile amp in terms of sound, powerful enough to play with hard-hitting drummers. Very robust, it has been abused in all possible ways and I have used it outdoors under extreme conditions. I can play slap for hours with the volume cranked all the way up and a Metalcore. Besides 2 or 3 pots that crackle a bit, despite a thorough cleanup last year, I have had no big issues.

    SOUNDS

    Simple and versatile

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've used it for 10 years. I have and still play with more powerful and better amps, but this one suits me better because I know my settings. If I had to buy an amp today, I'd buy the same, new or secondhand, since there's no big difference in price. But it is so sturdy that I wouldn't hesitate buying it used, after some tests, obviously.

    My favorite sound is the preamp tube to bottom, the pr & transistor and at least the compressor to the bottom, giving a warm grain, a bit distorted and compressed

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for just one month on a daily basis at home because I could not stand the noise of its fan. but it is set recently (see Tips section) suddenly the peavey TKO 75 that I used before is shelved.

    Playing on DIFFERENT knobs get the sound you get DSIR. The qualizer is not easy to use (many bands) but you get Tatouille obtain the desired sound, because the buttons are really sensitive ...

    The compressor, however, is not terrible, it is better to use it sparingly (scale 2 or 3 max)

    SOUNDS

    I play all styles of music with a Jazz Bass Squier VM, and gives me an ultra versatile configuration.

    The choice, I plug in the head on a 2x10 or 1x15, or two couples. With two speakers in the ass is really the power to go, you will have a good margin before reaching the limits of the head. This is one of the big strengths of the HA3500!

    I would describe the sound of modern and straight enough (typ Hifi), without staining particulire, contributing its great versatility.

    Mine is in a SKB for flycase being protected during transport

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for over 2 years now and I am fully satisfied. I wanted to head a powerful and fairly neutral, so I'm delighted.

    The HA3500 is a bestseller in Hartke and it's not for nothing. Of course, fans will wish typs sounds move into the most prestigious brands, but it will bring a much consquent budget.

    If you have less than 300 budget (for the occasion), you are looking for a versatile head, strong and powerful, I did not see any equivalent!

    Only default:
    - Weight, 14kg is not really anything!
    - The fan is noisy ... trs Gnant not when playing but can be a problem in the studio
    - The DI is to fool quality rpute

    Then, over time, I started a few will appreciate the low saturates and mdiatorise ... and a: Hartke not good! Despite the possibility to mix the lamp and its pramp confrre semiconductors, there's still no shit, Ampeg sounds incredibly better for the big fat warm sound mdiator well saturated. For cons, I still think the Hartke has more power and DEFINITIONS.
    Its really great equalizer is effective (when they say + or - 15dB, it really is + or - 15dB!) And I use the (relatively cheap) internal compressor over the intent to avoid exploding the speakers (Peavey 4x10 "+ tweeter) than to really compress the sound. So, have to be careful that the high-volume compressor "food" not too low (especially sensitive to the config 4x10 ').
    Mixing lamp / transistor provides some more but unfortunately still remains in the registry "clean sounds." I tried to saturate the head by inflating the output level of my Precision Bass and fucking while back ... ben and we feel that the Hartke does not Designed for saturated and even not for the saturated lgrement!

    Chapter versatile if one has an Ibanez 5 string active (agreement on this please!)

Sounds!

    Finally, a great head, which although it does not look, really brings everything Describes the technical specs: 350W (the really!), Graphic equalizer, unfortunately, but fortunately ultra-efficient, mixing lamp / transistor Tage pramp, compressor (limiter plutt "protector "...), 2 rack units, connection for sound (never used) and to effects return (also used effects has never stinks ...) and the sound Hartke what might be called "stereo" (always nickel, always dynamic ... it's almost exhausting!).

    With the exprience, I Rasht this head. Over time, one big regret: no good saturation lamp warm the Ampeg!

    Question quality workmanship, effective rglages, DEFINITIONS power and I believe that there is simply no competition for this price (approx. 750). APRS, for grain, it's all got history ...

    This gives a good sound too easy. The sound is, admittedly, fairly flat, or even cold. It lacks a lil bit of color. Channel transistor level pramp hardly satisfies me, so I use the channel "tube" thoroughly. It gives good sound, not too cold, lgrement heating by the lamp. But not saturated. Nothing to do, no crunch either, it's clean, neat and flawless. Too bad.
    As against the power, it is! It dboite, mamy ca dculote a worry-free! In fact they reproach me for playing too loud (our grateux has "a" a peavey 30w lamp).

    SOUNDS

    It should be pretty well to my style of music, although his Ampeg is probably more ... Also, what! But adding a pramp ampeg in the future solve this slight worry. For now, gre ca.
    I play with an Ibanez GSR-200 active, but low in my squier grateux, and I am considering buying a fender to be decidedly more rock.
    This amp suits all styles of music as a given rather sober color. He swears in any way, and then qualiseur allows for a good sound.
    The sound is not crystal, but not fat either.
    I do not like when the low pass is cut all the bass disappeared.
    I also had fun plugger in a guitar, it sounds. But hey, it's not recess for that. ;)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 3-4 months, plus I think.
    What I like is the price, with the baffle 570 in time, it only cost me 300 because I sold my old amp scratching my POD XT, and my old Samick guitar.
    I also like the power!!
    But I like not too sound, too soft for my taste. A small grain would apprciable.
    I have not tried other models, c'tait the cheapest.
    Exellent quality price ratio, is not to say.
    Xprience with, I think I would do this choice, but I take this opportunity to try all lights amp drooling a little history, before leaving with the one.

    How well the lamp is mounted? (Yes aprsvrification)
    so it's a lamp that does not color lol

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for some months now, and I do not regret having left my nmsis (EDEN), which had a sound certe warmer but less power!

    which is great with this head is that its research is quickly found, and even a respectable sound level trs.
    report quality price is just INTERESTED since Markbass released its LMII.
    in a nutshell is this head:
    -Power
    -Balance
    -Ractive to really rglages

    Matos sold shortly APRS purchase because they are too heavy to carry.

    Transistor or prampli Lamp
    Between active or passive effects loop, XLR, etc. ...
    Power 350W


    UTILIZATION

    Configuration could not be more simple ...


    SOUNDS

    I play the varieties.
    I use a Musicman Stingray 5 string maple neck.
    I use it with the enclosure Hartke VX410 (4x10 inches and a sharp)
    Dlivre it a clean but cold enough. The formulation of the lamps is not really effective.
    Pregnant again my VX410 does not have many sub dlivre ...
    Otherwise it remains a good transistor amp.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for over 6 years in sometimes extreme conditions. It is a perfect shot. Very robust in design, cash it without flinching.

    What I like: robustness, simplicity ct swiss army knife ...
    What I like least: Its a little cold (even for a transistor)

    With the exprience I would do this choice because in this price range, you can not buy an amp worthy of the name lamps (Ampeg, Eden, etc. ...)

    I would do the same choice without hesitating.

    Tube preamp and transistor (there are 2 knobs that can be selected and measured).
    Amplification transistor.
    Delivers up to 350w.
    Connector jack input and output for HP.
    DI XLR output with built-in.

    UTILIZATION

    The head is easy to use. The graphic equalizer is useful for finding the sound. The manual is useless.

    SOUNDS

    I use it with a bass luthier. The sound is pretty good but cold. I still search for a more rock.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Is my first "big" amp.
    I do not regret my purchase, but if it over again, I still save to invest in AMPEG. Good product

    Hello AFiens,

    The Bottom Line: HA3500 350 Wts. Lamp and transistors. Input line with Ground Lift. 2 contours output (I leave at noon, in all cases).
    Inst 0 and 2 entry-20Db.
    10-band graphic EQ.



    UTILIZATION

    Since I play on Hartke since the inception of the brand in France (1991 env / I had 3 to date) and I must say that this combo is foolproof and is usable in many situations! The proof is found in all Backline festival, with respect to the application of course but also for its reliability and versatility.

    For the 3500 is a quality amp and the only fault I had during all these years and the breakdown of a cold junction at the input line (panel AR) easy to repair and cheap…

    For the 3500 is a quality amp and the only fault I had during all these years and the breakdown of a cold junction at the input line (panel AR) easy to repair and cheap, and worries or level of a capacitor (unwanted noises) but it is resolved without intervention (?).

    Finally the HP, the Transporter has avoided for reasons of reliability. Sf if you made little use intensive semi pro eg. If you exceed the entry has more than 5 and vs. play a low B a little too violently, HP pass through (the magnet is upwind, in fact). Saving on the size of the magnets and simple case for the weight do not mix with the big sound repeats itself ...

    Stuart Hamm as saying on a pub of the mark in the 90 "I put the entry is under a quarter and a third volume. Yes, well provided you have the reservation behind Watts ... Genre HA 7000 and under 4ohms 800W ...

    SOUNDS

    Adjustment side, disable input signal for my passive bass 0db and-20db for active. EQ very sensitive, I cut a bit for the 100Hz turned a little nasty, a little boost 600Hz to blackmail the fretless. The rest is depending on location.

    Depending on the style played, we change some details on the EQ but overall, I prefer the low net round, 100 Hz below the midrange slightly forward, below 800Hz and treble without excess. I actually sinusoidal shape, the EQ.

    I play all styles, from punk to jazz through the Latin. The amp goes everywhere I tell you!

    Pb: The noise of the fan. In the studio, it must be isolated.

    OVERALL OPINION

    9 / 10.

    Since 1991. I pretty much tried everything. Remember, Ampeg for the warmer sound (lamps), and that's it! The rest is more delicate use pro. Otherwise some objects such as Mars or Alumabass Glockenklang but now AC socket ...

    Nothing to say more on this beast. It starts every morning!

    Since a new hybrid series has been released. I'm on the lookout for the comments above. A word ..;
    Ded. Very good compromise
