Biggest Ever Audio Mixing Contest is ON!
This bad boy is 250 watts at 4 ohms and about 180 at 8 ohms. The preamp gives you solid state and tube gain (this never made sense to me in a tube amp, but hey, the amps sounds good, why question it right?) Next you have a compressor. Not bad on 1 or 2, but quickly goes overboard after that. After that is your generous 10-ban...
This is the big brother to the Hartke LH500, an amp I reviewed earlier, but have since upgraded. This amp is like having 2 500 watt amps in one. In bridged mono this beast puts out 750 watts into 8ohm and 1100 into 4 ohms. If you need more power than that, you will probably go deaf! My local music shop had one that did not sell a...
This is a no frills, best bang for your buck powerful bass head. It's built like a tank inside and out. 500 watts of pure tube driven bass goodness. I needed a head that was simple to use, portable, durable, had a DI out and oh yeah it needed to sound great too! I bought it from Sam Ash Music in NYC. $350 sounds ...
I purchased this head in 1991 from Musicians Friend for around $480 Sound, versatility, ease of use, and reliability is what makes me a Hartke fan. I play rock, from the classics right up to todays new music as well as some country and southern rock and this amp allowed me to dial in exactly the sound I wanted and quickly. This he...
I bought both the amp and 2 speaker cabinets from Mars Music in Bloomington, Minnesota. They had a going out of business sale in November, 2002. The amp head was $150. Both speaker cabs for $400. The total price was about 55% off the retail tag price. This unit has exceptionally clear sound and very nice control panel. The ten band...
I had been wanting a Hartke system for a couple of years. My father, (also a musician), found this nice deal where he lives, (Tenn.--I live near Chicago), at a place called Pot 'O Gold, in Paris, TN. I paid $900.00 for a Hartke 3500 amp, a 4-10 cab, and a 1-15 cab, all new, all Hartke. Not to shabby at all. Plus, they gave me a great deal on a 2...
I got this unit from a friend who was getting out of playing bass. He sold it to me with the head, and two cabs, for 500 bucks... sweet deal, eh? I love the shapeability of the sound. There is a knob on here that you can fiddle with called Dbass. It's for "dynamic bass" and if you have a 15"+ speaker, you can really s...
5 years. Powerful growl, simple. I redo the choice since I have LH1000 (it allows me to manage the stack easier and easier to use 500W). The value for money is incomparable in my opinion, now I do not know everything. Only default all these types of models, the weight! But it's solid.
It must be 8 months I use this amp and I'm not disappointed at all on the contrary. It adapts as small as large scenes. For now, I have not had the opportunity to live beyond Volume 2 (beyond it is usually transplanted to the sound). Tested in my high volume, I could see a blast from the volume 5/6 but for now, it does good to me to play...
I use it for 10 years, I have played or still play) on amps more powerful, better etc but this one suits me better, I know my regalges. if I were to buy an amp today I repeat the same, new or used, taken from the differance is not huge but it is so robust that it does not fear to buy occas after some tests of course
